Maintaining Healthy Weight

We need to change the way we think about food. ?Some foods tell our body to burn fat, others tell our body to store fat. ?Toxins and proteins foreign to our body are treated as poisons and cause us to to become inflamed. ?The food you eat turns your good genes and hormones on or off. ?Your genetics may load the gun but your epigenetics (your environment and what you eat) pulls the trigger. ?What you eat is so important that what your grandparents ate affect you today.?

We do not get fat because we are lazy. ?We do not get fat because we lack the willpower to not over eat. ?We get fat because the foods readily available to us to today tell our body to store fat by up-regulating our fat storing hormones and shutting of our fat burning hormones. ?The?processed foods we currently eat also fail to do is tell us we are full. ?This is because it is lacking the vitamins, many taken out by glyphosate which is a mineral remover, and lacking the good fats our body needs. ?As a result we spend most of our lives walking around fat and hungry, lacking the energy and motivation to do something about it.

Our Allies in Burning Fat

Our enemies that make us store fat.

The number one way to combat unhealthy weight is to develop positive diet habits.?With regards to diet, do not make the perfect the enemy of the good. ?Some of the most beneficial and effective of these are:

? Removing sugars and junk foods(especially hydrogenated oils) from your home.
? Removing all sugar containing beverages including juices from your home.
? Not eating after dinner and making dinner as early as possible, as a result you will be burning fat when you wake up and will get better rest.
? Eat slowly and chew more allowing your body to send a satiation signal sooner.? Get in the habit of leaving food on your plate every meal.? Yes this is wasteful at first, but as you build discipline you can curb this practice.? Alternatively you can use smaller plates to help control portion sizes.
? Control portion size, using a fiber like glucomannan pre-meal if necessary.
? Keep healthy snacks readily available.? These include nuts, fruit, dried berries, and pure fruit bars for between meal cravings.
? Move after a meal whenever possible reducing blood sugar spikes.? An after dinner walk can be fantastic for your health and weight.

Obesity is a disease of deficiency not a disease of excess.? You will always be hungry and over eat if you are not getting the appropriate vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids. ?Dr. Glidden explaining this theory here.

How bad Science and big business created the obesity epidemic

How do you fatten cattle?? Whole grains and corn feed.

Sugar, The Bitter Truth

Low fat processed food tasted terrible so companies added salt, neurotoxins and ample amounts of sugar to make it palatable.

Studies have shown that people who drink diet soda loose less weight than people who drink the same amount of regular soda.? Why on earth would you drink diet soda? Why diet drinks and artificial sweeteners are not the answer. HERE

12 Harmful foods by Dr. Glidden

Dr Glidden’s position is a bit extreme but we should at least limit these harmful foods in our diet and search for organic and healthy alternatives when available.? One example of this would be using coconut flour instead of standard bleached flour to create baked goods.

Supplements Helpful In Controlling Weight

Who has the self control to stop eating when there is something delicious on your plate?? If you find yourself overeating you can try to battle yourself with delicious food in front of you or, make it a habit before a delicious meal to take two to four capsules of glucomannan fiber before meals thus limiting you physical ability and desire to overeat.? It is much easier to combat overeating initially through fiber intake before eating a meal than to try to use self control with temptation right in front of you.? I have found that using this method my ability to eat insanely large portions has diminished, it is almost as if my stomach became smaller. Dr. Mark Hyman on Glucomannan

Healthy Eating Habits

Getting nutrition advice from?the medical community?is like listening to a dozen blind men trying to describe and elephant.

Please ask yourself which is more patriotic?

Declaring your “freedom” (the second amendment is the only right in this country left partially intact) by strutting around in camouflage made in the Philippians while drinking some high fructose corn syrup Poweraide all while firing lead bullets made in China (yes we no longer make any lead in this country).?????????????????????????? -or-

Buying you food from a local farmer who is a good steward of their land, who will be putting a majority of that money into supporting their lifestyle which protects the land they care for and the remaining money will go towards purchasing as many local goods as they can afford thus enriching your local community and our country.

Things that we should eat every day:

A handful of nuts-? Walnuts, pecans, or your favorite fatty nut.? A handful of nuts a day in studies reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack by 50%!? If you prefer not to eat nuts, make sure you supplement with healthy plant based oils instead like HEMP or Udo’s Oil Blend.

Cruciferous Vegetables-? Start with one sprig of broccoli a day if you need to.? Broccoli and its cruciferous vegetable relatives are the master detoxifier of your liver and eliminator of toxins and xenoestrogens we are bombarded with given our modern technological food system.? Can’t stomach the vegetable, supplement HERE.

Turmeric- With no known negative side effects and health benefits of reducing cancer, improving blood sugar metabolism, and?reducing inflammation,?taking turmeric daily is a no brainer.? If pouring curry all over your potatoes does not appeal to you, supplement HERE.

Only Healthy Cooking oils- Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is the oil known for being a healthy saturated fat which is great for brain function, skin, and promoting the feeling of satiation.? It is also great antiviral and anti-fungal which makes it perfect for treating dry skin or applying after a shave.? The oily feeling goes away in minutes as the oil gets absorbed into your skin.

Avoiding prescription drugs and unnecessary medical procedures to stay healthy.

Our medical system in the United States?is the absolute best when it comes to trauma and emergency situations, however, it is the absolute worst when it comes to treating chronic health conditions.? It is so bad that the FDA admits that over 100 thousand people die every year of properly prescribed medications (1) and most likely 200 to 400 thousand people die of medical mistakes a year (2).? To sum up the problem, it is our medical system that is the 3^rd leading cause of death in our country (3). To make it worse, the United States spends more on health care than all of the other nations in the world combined!??Lets fix?this challenge, make it better you say.??This will be awfully difficult to invasion a change when the editor of??Dr. Horton, editor and chief of the Lancet states that studies published in medical journals are no longer reliable (4).

A great example of why we should be skeptical of chemical pharmaceuticals is because no modern medications for chronic diseases heal a person. The just mask symptoms, turn off receptor sites or inhibit your body?s production of natural substances.? As an example high blood pressure is an adaptation of your body to push more blood through arteries that have become smaller or fail to dilate due to an inflammatory or nutritional issue.? High blood pressure is the body compensating and trying to get more blood and oxygen to an area with restricted flow. Instead of asking why, our medical system prescribes a medication that reduces the blood pressure instead of trying to find out why your body is signaling for higher blood pressure or your vessels are not dilating or are restricted due to damage or hydrogenated oil inflexibility.

Your body was not made to process a chemical drug.? Reasons to avoid all prescription or over the counter chemical drugs are shown here in Pill Nation.

Medical Myths By Dr. Glidden

Tylenol type drugs are among the top 10 killers in our nation today!

If you have acute pain, back pain, joint pain, or muscle pain please try Real Time Pain Relief ?before trying to use a toxic chemical based solution like Tylenol or aspirin.

With that said one must be willing to take their health into their own hands with healthy food and supplements and avoid standard medical treatment and prescription drugs to treat chronic diseases at all costs.

The human body knows how to fix itself, wants to fix itself, and the human body is always attempting to fix itself.? Let?s make sure we are giving our body what it needs to do what it has been designed to do and eliminate the toxins and environments that get in its way.

Healthy Omega 6 and Omega 3 Fats

Professor Brian Peskin using the review of known medical literature finds that hydrogenated oils are the leading cause of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes in our modern world.? These Frankenstein oils find a home in the lipid membranes in our cells, encourage cellular energy dysfunction, and stick together in our arteries.? Omega 6 fats are a vital part to every soft tissue in our body, and a hydrogenated omega 6 creates a dead spots on the cells of our skin, colon, lungs and many other tissues prone to developing cancer.? Otto Warburg discovered that cells partially starved from oxygen begin to ferment sugar for energy.? The hallmark of a cancer sell is a sell that runs purely on sugar fermentation and lacks oxygen.? The perfect scenario to create cancer is to have a cell whose lipid membrane is made of these hydrogenated fats which starve our cells of oxygen, causing it to revert using yeast cell like fermentation to survive.? This is probably why re oxygenating the cells using flax seed oil and cottage cheese via the budwig protocol are so effective in reversing cancers.

Reasons why the hydrogenated oil lipid hypothesis as the root cause of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer is likely true:

?Death from heart disease and cancer before the introduction to hydrogenated was below 5%.? Type II diabetes was virtually?unheard of.
Dr. Budwig has been able to effectively reverse cancer with the treatment that includes a combination of omega 3 flax and omega 6 cottage cheese, displacing the hydrogenated oils that cause a lack of oxygen condition.
Dr. Greger show studies that just eating a handful of walnuts a day (mostly healthy omega 6) reduces risk of heart attack by 50%)
The corollary, those eating the highest amount of hydrogenated fats were found to have a 50% in all cause mortality in studies.
Studies find that those consuming hydrogenated oils have a 40% increase in breast cancer rates.
Dr. Greger sites a study that finds that people on a low carb vegetarian high fat diet actually? a lower incidence of death than those on a regular diet.? These healthy oils may actually increase lifespan and negate the effects of hydrogenated oil intake.

Brian Peskin is the father of the parent essential oil theory and the hypothesis that hydrogenated oils are?the main pathway to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. ?Examples of how the Parent Essential oils make us healthier and live longer are everywhere. ?In order to discover the dysfunction caused by hydrogenated oils, one can look at the increase in cardiovascular disease, diabites, and cancer since their inception.

Nutritionfacts.org plant based Atkins diet shows us exactly how important the parent essential oils in plant based form can be at actually prolonging our life!

Good Omega 6 Fats, Why does a hand full of nuts every day reduce your risk of sudden heart attack death by at least one third??

Supplements:

Hemp Seed oil

Hemp seed oil contains the highest concentration of essential fatty acids and the closest ratio needed for skin regeneration.

This oil is the cheapest way to get it and just requires a teaspoon or a squirt in your mouth. Also makes a great oil base for salad dressings and is far healthier than olive oil.
