THE FORMULA FOR LOSING WEIGHT and RESTORING YOUR HEALTH

There are no shortcuts to this process no matter whose products you eat and drink.

1. Eat your major meal of the day at breakfast or don’t bother trying to lose weight - you'll just gain it back.

2. Drink one Protein shake as a replacement for one meal per day and another for a snack or as a replacement meal.

3. Eat a variety of fresh vegetables – in other words – complex carbohydrates.

4. Eat good-quality proteins – but no dairy, red meat greatly restricted.

5. Drink lots of water. Water is how you rinse the poisons out of your body and is the principal method by which weight is lost.

6. Keep your daily simple carbohydrate intake to no more than 35 grams.

7. Move your body a minimum of 20 minutes a day. Sweat those toxins and extra weight off. Don't forget to drink plenty of water.

35 grams = 1.2 ounces

Complex carbohydrates are considered as good carbohydrates.

Digestion of complex carbohydrates takes longer and consumes more energy to accomplish. The slow absorption of sugars provides you with a steady metered supply of energy and limits the amount of sugar converted into fat and stored.

Simple sugars and carbohydrates are quickly converted to grape sugar – the fuel used by the body. If this fuel isn’t consumed almost immediately, it causes a sugar spike followed by a chemical depression. At this point, the consumer can easily be legally impaired and unfit to operate a motor vehicle or machinery.

Diet alone does not bring about weight loss. Exercise is at least half of the equation, usually much more. Save yourself a lot of heartache and maybe your life by understanding that you can’t lose weight or restore health without a paradigm shift in the way you live your life and that way has to include exercising vigorously.

Weight loss does not necessarily mean your health has improved. Without exercise, your health can actually get worse.

Whenever you embark on a process that will entail a significant change to the way you live your life, whether through diet or exercise, it's best to see your doctor first so that if there are any underlying issues that need to be taken into consideration, they can be dealt with before they become problems.

Don't think this can't happen to you. You don't know until you check.
