Inspiration!

[kat7hy]

Hello - Well going into Day 5 of Induction and I struggled tonight - even had some pepperoni at like 9pm - no, and no. So anyway I went online looking for some inspiration (in addition to this site) and I found this article which for me, gave me the shot in the arm I needed. Thought I would share.....It's the Carbs that make you Fat!

WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE FAT - STEP BY STEP

I'll keep this brief and won't offer much justification, as I've already gone on too long.

1) Go buy a big bottle of Evening Primrose Oil 500mg gelcaps from Costco. Start slow and work up to about four a day. You should find your cravings for carbohydrates drastically diminished and your overall appetite reduced almost immediately. This is natural oil, like you find in eggs and fish. It's not a drug. It's food and you can't overdose. You can take this stuff every day for the rest of your life and you'll be healthier for it. Taking regular spoonfuls of Cod Liver Oil or other fish oil is also beneficial.

2) No soda pop. None. And no fruit juice or beer. Swear off those things permanently. They're liquid obesity. Little or no calories should come from your drinks. Make water your official beverage. Get a Brita and keep cold water in the fridge.
I so agree with this! Empty calories! Also, when drinking anything with carbination, it will irritate the digestive system and cause swelling, in turn, causes water retention. Our digestive system wasn't equiped to digest carbination. Nothing replaces water

3) Cut back absolutely as much as practical bread, cereal, pasta, rice, peas and anything made from corn or potatoes. Eat more nuts, fruit, cheese, green vegetables and lean meat.
Absolutely!

4) Never eat margarine again. Only butter. If you have to fry, use butter. Don't use vegetable oils. If you have to deep-fry, use peanut or palm oil. NEVER eat a product that has the word "hydrogenated" in its ingredient list. Scan the ingredients list of foods you buy for this word. You can read this little thing about butter.
Fat burns Fat! My 2 cents, Eat more MUFAS (monounsaturated fats)

5) Never eat NutraSweet, Aspartame, Sorbitol or any of those chemical sweeteners. Regular soda is healthier than diet soda. If you need sweet, use sugar --the Evening Primrose Oil should reduce sugar cravings anyways. Use Google and look up "Nancy Markle" and "Betty Martini" to find out about NutraSweet.
As many of you know, I am against chemicle based sweetners. I don't care who says their okay, THEIR NOT! ESPECIALLY SPLENDA. I hear time after time that people don't have issues with Splenda and that it's okay to consume. Maybe not now, but don't be suprised about tumors showing up in your body in the future.
I believe that if Dr. A had a chance to write a new book that he would caution folks about splenda and put it on the list with aspartame and suggest folks to consume natural based sweetners rather than chemicle based sweetners. Just my 2 cents.

6) Forget about drinking milk for health and cut back of you drink lots. It's not healthy. Most adults can't digest it, and you get virtually no calcium from it - it's not chelated, not bio-available. If you're worried about calcium, eat broccoli, which contains massive amounts and has plenty of other excellent nutrients.
I totally agree with this!!!

7) Stop eating in the evening. Get your eating over with at least four hours before you go to bed. If you can, stop reading or watching TV while eating so you break the association between those activities.
I so agree with this and something I need to be more mindful of. If one does eat 4 hours before bed time, make sure it's NOT BEEF, It lays in your digestive system and rots before your body can digest it. Eat veggies instead. It takes less time to digest.

What about exercise? If you keep your house clean, vacuum regularly, that kind of thing, you're probably already getting enough exercise. But it's hard to get too much; try going for walks now and then. I know that sounds glib, but diet is the crucial thing.
Exercise is Non-Negotiable
