PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS IS WITHIN YOUR REACH

Permanent, healthy weight loss....this is what so many of us are looking for.  What we eat everyday, day in and day out, is more powerful on our body than ANYTHING else.  If you go to the gym everyday and spend 2 hours doing cardio and lifting weights, YOU WILL NOT GET THE RESULTS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IF YOUR DIET ISN'T "RIGHT".  Period.  You cannot "exercise away" your bad food choices.  You. Just. Can't.

However, when the food is "right", our health soars AND the numbers on the scale plummet whether you exercise or not.  Now, I'm not saying exercise is not necessary, it is--it keeps us flexible, tones our muscles, when we work our muscles they "feed" our bones--everyone should be moving for at least 30 minutes a day, even if it is just walking.  But for optimal health and weight loss, it's all about the food we put in our mouth.

What I promote is NOT a DIET.  Diets do not work!  This is a comprehensive program that promotes weight loss better than any diet ever could.  Diets promote calorie restriction--this lifestyle doesn't count calories or anything else.  

Researchers have found certain factors that are critical to the success of long-term weight control:
  • Certain foods add easily to fat stores
  • Certain foods will alter your metabolism so calories are burned more efficiently
  • Weight loss should be gradual not sudden
  • Most importantly, a low-fat menu, high in fiber and carbs, but modest in protein is EXTREMELY powerful for weight control.
Diets focus mostly on quantity--a whole food plant based diet focuses on the "type" of food rather than the quantity of food.  Eating this way allows you to eat until you are full, but you STILL LOSE WEIGHT.  The type of food is much more IMPORTANT for permanent weight control than the portion size.  

This is the science--when we cut way back on eating, our metabolism slows down--our body is extremely smart--our body will "hang on" to the fat stores to save as much of the fat it can.  This is very frustrating!!  This slowed metabolism can go on for weeks beyond the "dieting" period.  For this reason, fat is easily and rapidly accumulated again after the dieting period has ended.  This is the yo-yo phenomenon--dieters lose weight then re-bound to a higher weight than when they started.  This is the reason why diets just do not work.

So, if you are ready to get off this roller coaster, join my 30 Day Challenge which begins February 1st.  This is a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle that will give you your health back, help you to reduce/eliminate medications, and give you the energy you are looking for.  

I am also offering a two-day class explaining what a Whole Food Plant Based, (WFPB) lifestyle is, how to transition to it from the standard American diet, (SAD), and how to put healthy, delicious meals together very simply. 

The first class is February 1st, the second class is February 8th--10-11:30 both days, and they will be held at my office in Watervliet.  The cost is $50.  If you would like to join us, please let me know as seating is limited.

I hope to see you all at my table so you can take back control of your health one meal at a time!
