Eat More and Weigh A Lot Less
Hi Victoria, I just got this beautiful flyer in the mail that said I could eat whatever I wanted and still lose weight as long as I took one on their capsules after each meal I ate regardless of the food. Is that true? Can I really lose weight with these pills? Can I really eat all I want and lose weight?
~ Angela
Hi Angela, I have seen those advertisement that tell say you can eat all you want and lose weight as long as you take this miracle pill. Let me guess… The ad sounds like this…
After a peaceful night’s sleep of you can wake up in the morning you indulge in a large buttery croissant that is so delicate, it almost melts in your hand. You wash it down with a shot of espresso that gives you the ultimate hit of energy and you are headed out the door. You jump into your brand new sports car with the top down, hair flowing in the breeze and you stop at Starbuck’s and grab your favorite morning drink, a 20-ounce Venti banana mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream , because you deserve it and you run into your office feeling great.
After your morning carb excursion, you take a miracle pill so that you won’t get fat form any of that right? And then at your mid morning break, after you have rejected all of the offers from the local less than millionaire men for dinner from your town singles online, you head downstairs to the little deli to have your favorite freshly delivered slice of warm pound cake with a hint of vanilla frozen yogurt on top.
And that is just the beginning of your day of eating all the carbs sugar and fat you want without gaining a pound right? RIGHT…….
Wow, what a fantasy these get rich quick companies would have you believe.
It’s almost criminal the amount of diet propaganda we are fed every day. These companies are lying and playing on our weaknesses and want us to spend our hard earned money on their miracle pill which in the end you’re heavier than when you started because you trusted their lies that you could eat whatever you want and lose weight, have a killer body and men chasing you around because you are so carb happy and skinny.
We are finding that there are some people who can eat all the carbs they want and still lose weight, They’re usually genetically blessed or high endurance athletes. Don’t we all wish we had their good luck?
If you want to be thinner and healthy and stop many life destroying diseases in their tracks in your body and have the body of your dreams, you must wake up and smell the low fat, sugar free coffee.
You are not going to permanently lose weight eating all the carbs you have developed a taste for since birth. That’s right, your taste buds have been developed over time and have contributed to your fat building habitual lifestyle. If you have the burning desire to be lean, sexy and healthy you can change your taste buds and retrain yourself to fuel your new body with great tasting good food.
I was getting ready to shoot my one of my ab videos and I was not happy with my midsection. It was better than it was when I was about 170 pounds, but I didn’t feel like it was camera ready.
I had been on a low calorie diet, a weight loss diet so I thought! Little did I know that it wasn’t so much the number of calories, I was eating, it was the type of calories I was eating that was making me soft and flabby!
I was shocked to find out, that the low calorie diet was stripping hard earned muscle off my body and I was hanging on to body fat.
The scale was going down, but I had soft, flabby feeling abdominals. I was actually damaging my body by “Starving my Muscle and feeding the Fat”. How did I find out?
One afternoon I was doing body fat testing for some of my high profile clients I personally trained and I decided to do a quick analysis on myself and I almost fell out of my chair as my computer analyzer printer out my results.
In two weeks of rehearsing hours for my production shoot, instructing classes and hours in the gym training with my highly fit clients, I had lost four pounds of muscle and gained two pounds of fat.
I was stunned to find that I was achieving the complete opposite of what I desired. I went to the library to research what was going on with my diet and the poor results I was getting.
The information I came up with was astounding. I did find the answer and I want to share it with you.
How did I lose muscle and build fat?
Bear with me as I share with you a historical account of one man’s quest of dieting and how time does not always make things better. I bet you will see yourself in this account of this gentleman’s plight to finally lose weight and repair his health.
Great Story.. Take minute and read it. Please!
William Banting, Father of Low Carbohydrate Promoter
You may think that a low-carbohydrate diet is a new 20th century phenomena and we are just geniuses for coming up with it. The fact is fat, if it had not been for a 19th century English carpenter by the name of William Banting, we would still be gorging trying so solve the mystery.
But it needn't be like that, for nearly 140 years ago one man changed the thinking on diet completely. It all started with a small booklet entitled Letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public, not written by a dietician or a doctor, but by an undertaker named William Banting. It became one of the most famous books on obesity ever written. First published in 1863, it went into many editions and continued to be published long after the author's death.
The book was revolutionary and it should have changed western medical thinking on diet for weight loss forever. William Banting was a carpenter and an undertaker to the rich and famous.
Working out and still gaining weight! Sound familiar?
When in his thirties, William started to become overweight and he consulted an eminent surgeon, a kind personal friend, who recommended exercise first thing in the morning. Banting had a boat and lived near the river so he took up rowing the boat for two hours a day. All this did for him was increase his appetite. He put on more weight and was advised to stop.
He was then advised that he could reduce his obesity by eating less and to consume "moderate and light food" but wasn't really told what that was. He says from trying to do this he became tired and fatigued without reducing his weight, which caused many boils to appear and two carbuncles, pus-filled infected lumps on his skin. He went into the hospital to be operated on and that is where he was fed into even more obesity.
Banting went into the hospital twenty times over a number of years for weight reduction. He tried swimming, walking, riding and taking the sea air. He drank what was called "gallons of physic and liquor potassae," took the spa waters at Leamington, Cheltenham and Harrogate, and tried low-calorie, starvation diets; he also took Turkish baths at a rate of up to three a week for a year but lost only six pounds in all that time.
Banting tried every form of weight loss treatment the medical profession recommended at that time, but it was all in vain. Eventually, discouraged and disillusioned and still very fat, he gave up. By 1862, at the age of 64, William Banting weighed 202 pounds; he was only 5 feet 5 inches tall. He could not bend over to tie his shoes, or to attend to the personal care required to live without considerable pain and difficulty. He had to go downstairs backward very slowly to prevent pain on his knee and ankle joints and huffed and puffed all the way down.
Eventually, in August of 1862 Banting consulted a noted Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons: an ear, nose and throat specialist. Dr. William Harvey. It was an historic meeting. Dr. Harvey had recently returned from a symposium in Paris where he had heard Dr. Claude Bernard, a renowned Physiologist, speak about a new theory about the role the liver played in the disease of diabetes.
Bernard believed that the liver, as well as secreting bile, also secreted a sugar-like substance that it made from elements of the blood passing through it. This started Harvey's thinking about the roles of various food elements in diabetes and he began a major course of research into the whole question of the way in which fats, sugars and starches affected the body.
When Dr. Harvey met Banting, he was interested as much by Banting's obesity as by his deafness, for he recognized that the one was the cause of the other. So Harvey put Banting on a diet. By Christmas, Banting was down to 184 pounds and, by the following August, 156 pounds. Finally he found a method of sound consistent weight loss.
Harvey's advice to him was to give up bread, butter, milk, sugar, beer and potatoes. Simple Carbohydrates. He could eat much more food and actually lose weight by doing so.
On this diet Banting lost nearly 1 pound per week from August 1862 to August 1863. In his own words he said: "I can confidently state that quantity of diet may safely be left to the natural appetite; and that it is quality only which is essential to abate and cure corpulence." He went on: "These important desiderata have been attained by the most easy and comfortable means. . . by a system of diet, that formerly I should have thought dangerously generous."
After 38 weeks. Banting felt better than he had for the past 20 years. By the end of the year, not only had his hearing been restored, he had much more vitality and he had lost 46 pounds in weight and 12 1/4 inches off his waist. He not only lost weight, he regained his health and strength!
He suffered no inconvenience whatsoever from the new diet, was able to come downstairs forward naturally with perfect ease, go upstairs and take exercise freely without the slightest inconvenience, could perform every necessary office for himself, the umbilical rupture was greatly ameliorated and gave him no anxiety, his sight was restored, his other bodily ailments were ameliorated and passed into the matter of history
I am very much better both bodily and mentally and pleased to believe that I hold the reins of health and comfort in my own hands.
So you see there is no such thing as eating all the sugar and carbs you want and losing weight. It is a total fantasy.
And oh by the way, did you know that a 20-ounce Venti banana mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream contains 720 calories and 11 grams of saturated fat? Or that a banana cream crunch bar that goes with pick up with the morning coffee has 630 calories and 25 grams of saturated fat? Would you be surprised to find out that a Big Mac has 560 calories and 11 grams of saturated fat, making it the surprisingly better food choice? Crazy!
I saw the light when I was preparing for my video production.
I can’t believe that one bad result shocked me enough to go to the library and search out the truth of permanent weight loss and a tighter flatter midsection. I started my Low Carb lifestyle then, I have never looked back.
I finally lost all of my extra fat and my muscles became firm and sexy. My video shoot was spectacular and I was proud to stand in front of the camera to show the world that it is possible to get a flat midsection and lose belly fat and not starve to do it. I now base my Quick Start program on the principles of the doctors that help design Wlliam Bantings’s life changing diet.
If you want to finally lose weight, increase your energy, fight fatigue, shrink your thighs, and drop some pant sizes, you have to face reality and do what I do and the millions of other lean people all over the world are doing as a healthy fabulous way of living, take up the Low Carb Lifestyle.
With the right food, you can have the energy, the body and the freedom you want. Make a change for the better and step put on faith and take action to life your best life ever!
