SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 2011
If you've ever watched the TV show called The Biggest Looser you know what the word ONEDERLAND means. It's when your weight drops below the 200 pound mark.
Well as of this week I'm in ONEDERLAND. I've dropped below 200 pounds. I've not been below 200 pounds in many many years. I've lost 137 pounds so far.
My daughter returned home from college this month. She is a great cook. She knows what I eat and has for the most part adopted the lifestyle herself. I was worried that I would gain weight because of her good cooking, she has proven that eating well and healthy can taste good too.
An old Chinese proverb says: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."
That's the difference between a diet and a lifestyle. You always want to quit a diet because you are hurting your body and it won't take it for long. You end up gaining back any weight you loose plus you add more. If you would like to know more about this check out the latest Underground Wellness podcast.
Listen to the interview with Jon Gabriel, author of The Gabriel Method. John stops by UW Radio to discuss the underlying causes of weight gain. Topics will include why diets don't work, your body's internal logic determining weight gain/loss, and tips for permanent, sustainable, weight loss. Learn more about Jon at www.GabrielMethod.com.
You'll find lots of great informations on the Underground Wellness site. You can listen to the podcasts on iTunes.
I will list a few more sites for you check out. Remember:
SUGAR IS TOXIC AND CARBOHYDRATES CAN KILL YOU
Check out Dr. Su's podcast "Carbohydrates Can Kill"
There is a new book coming out called "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis. Lose the wheat, and lose the weight. Check out this interview with Dr. Davis at: http://www.themorningblend.com/videos/125226934.html The wheat we are eating now is killing us. It's not the same wheat we ate as children. Watch this short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THjWY0OSDD4
"A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems.
Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls "wheat bellies." According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It's due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch.
After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the American public as "wheat"—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle.
Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient."
ONEDERLAND! It feels great.
I would like to say congratulations to Randy on his 10 pound weight loss. Keep up the good work.
