From Obese to Trim The Lazy Way


From Obese to Trim The Lazy Way

Most people have had the experience.
You know what I'm talking about...
When you go to the doctor's office for your checkup, and lo and behold, the first thing that "greets" you when you're called in from the waiting room is...
...the dreaded scale.
At that moment you wish you wore a burlap sack instead of your heavy suit or bulky sweater, and you frantically remove your shoes before you step on to conserve every ounce.
You swear you can hear the scale giggling at your misery.
The nurse makes a note of your weight and says, "Hmmm, you're up a few pounds from last year."
Grrrr.
Then the doctor (who looks like he's auditioning to be the next Pillsbury Dough Boy himself) comes in and says you should take off some weight. After all, you're not getting any younger and you don't want the weight to continue to creep up.
So you leave the office feeling like the Michelin Man and completely frustrated because you don't know where to begin, what to do or how "big" you really are.
If you've had that experience recently or want know whether you're overweight or obese (and most importantly, what to do about it!), read on.
Overweight versus obese--what's the difference?
Back in the 80's when I worked for a health insurance company, we used tables that showed weight ranges for various heights for men and women.
There were color-coded sections for underweight, normal weight and overweight, and obesity was defined as being 150% of your normal bodyweight.
That may have been OK for insurance underwriting purposes, but in reality there was room for a big swing in each of the weight levels. Someone could fall within the range of "normal weight," but still look like they invented the Krispy Kreme diet.
 

The new guides--let's zero in on YOUR blob
Current weight guidelines provide a more "specialized" look at the size of the lump in your rump by first of all redefining overweight and obesity.
Overweight means have excess WEIGHT for your height, whereas obesity refers to an abundance of body FAT.
And the Body Mass Index (BMI) takes a closer, more defined look at someone's specific height and weight as an indicator of whether they just are carrying some excess baggage or are truly obese.
 

So what's your BMI and what does it mean?
You can calculate your BMI by using one of these formulas:
BMI = [weight (kg)] / [height (m)] ²
BMI = [weight (lb)] / [height (in)] ² x 703.1

Or, you can take the easy way out and just look it up on this table:
- http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/riskfortype2/bmi_tbl_508.pdf
Most medical organizations including the CDC use the following criteria to assess bodyweight based on BMI:
< 18.5 = underweight
18.5 - 24.9 = healthy weight
25.0 - 29.9 = overweight
> 30 = obese

 

What kind of fruit are you?
Now, if you're in or approaching the big "O" range, it's important to also look at what kind of "fruit" you are.
As in, an apple or a pear.
Central obesity (aka "apple shape") is having a concentration of fat in your abdominal region.
On the other hand, people with a concentration of fat in the lower body region (hips, buttocks and thighs) are referred to as "pear shaped."
Men tend to more often be apple-shaped and women are more frequently pear-shaped.
With central obesity (apple shapes), there is a greater tendency for elevated blood levels of LDL, triglycerides, glucose and insulin, and lower HDL levels.
So understandably, high concentrations of intra-abdominal fat are associated with high blood pressure, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation.
Although pear shapes have not been shown to have the immediate health dangers of apple shapes, if fat is accumulating ANYwhere in your body, insulin resistance is very likely a culprit.
And that eventually will be a major problem for you regardless of your shape.
With time, as insulin resistance worsens, people who store fat below the belt will likely start accumulating it above the belt too. At that time, they will start facing all of the health problems their apple shaped counterparts suffer with.
In addition, a pear shaped person will typically be more susceptible to cellulite and varicose veins.
 

Take it off and keep it off without endless hour in the gym
Regardless of whether you're just a little overweight or out and out obese, it IS possible to finally take off the weight and most importantly, KEEP it off.
Now, don't expect to become Twiggy overnight. That's not reality.
A good, consistent rate of poundage Ioss is about 2 pounds per week.
Expecting to lose more than that is setting yourself up for failure, yo-yo dieting and eventually becoming even bigger.
And gritting your teeth next time you face the doctor's scale.
The best way to finally slim down and stay that way is to eat real foods and make sure your digestion is efficient.
Here's the scoop on both of those:
REAL foods takes off weight FAST
At least half and preferably 70-80% of what you eat should be real foods.
Real foods include fresh fruits, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, lean meats and poultry, fish, whole grains, dairy and essential fats.
When you eat real foods like these, your body gets nourished the way it needs to be.
And when you're nourished, these wonderful things happen:
- You get full faster and end up eating less overall.
- The foods you're eating are inherently lower in calories than pizza, burgers, fries, chips or whatever other nutritionally dead foods you may have eaten in the past.
- Because you're properly nourished, you'll also STAY full and satisfied longer, so your chances of binging or late night snacking have just been slashed.
All of this means: You get lean and stay lean!
Plus, the natural water content in whole fruits and vegetables helps sweep away wastes from your cells.
Efficient digestion helps maintain weight
If your foods are not being broken down like they should be, you're not getting the maximum nutrition from them. And that causes feelings of hunger which leads to overeating (and weight gain).
In addition, when your digestion is poor, that leads to waste buildup in your colon which can cause harmful bacteria overgrowth, weaken your immune system and also bump up that scale number.
It can also cause constipation, gas, bloating and eventually diverticulosis.
Accomplishing good digestion is easy--it's just is a matter of eating foods that digest well together, and giving your body a little assistance if needed.
I can help you with both of those.
1- The right food pairings takes off excess weight
In the Great Taste No Pain system, I'll show you what foods to eat and how to structure your meals so you can enjoy super-efficient digestion, have regular BMs and...Take off those excess pounds!
And if gluten is a concern for you, there's also Great Taste No Gluten. You'll learn the same food pairing principles as in Great Taste No Pain, plus get a collection of outstanding gluten-free recipes and guides for staying gluten free no matter where you are.
 

2- Digestive "helper" helps drops pounds
Many people who have had a typical hard-to-digest diet all their lives may be dangerously low in digestive enzymes. That means poor digestion and an invitation for weight gain.
Plus, many people "fall off the wagon" now and then and eat foods they know aren't healthy or won't digest well...so they need a little digestive "help" during moments of weakness.
The help you need is right here--with Digestizol Max.
Digestizol Max helps your body break down whatever you've eaten -- proteins, fats, carbs, fiber -- and conserves your limited enzyme supply.
This will help keep your digestion running smoothly, even if you're low in enzymes or you massively mess up with your food choices.
Read more about Digestizol Max and all the ways it can help you here.
 

When you do what really works and take off pounds in a sensible, realistic way, that's when you achieve true lasting success.
And who knows? Maybe you'll be able to give your doctor some weight Ioss advice next time you go for a checkup.
Wouldn't THAT be a hoot?
To your health,

PPS: Karen's down 10 lbs. and no longer takes GERD medication
Sherry,
I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I am with your Great Taste No Pain program. I have been using it for about 2 months now and, WOW, what a difference.
I Iost 10 pounds without even trying, and I haven't had to take my GERD medicine, nor have I had a migraine, since starting on the plan.
I have already had two friends order your plan and they are having very similar results, and more friends are planning to order it. It's a great deal considering how much we would normally spend on "the pills" and this is a much healthier alternative.
All I can say is THANK YOU for all you've done for those of us with health problems that appeared to be "lifelong" and could only be managed by a daily pill!
I love not having to take pills anymore and having more energy than ever.
THANKS AGAIN...YOU'RE THE GREATEST!
Karen
