POSSIBLE to lose weight

Please do yourself a favor and take 2-minutes out of your busy day to read this very important health article...

 

How did you feel when you woke up this morning?

Were you refreshed and able to jump out of bed…

…or did it take a while to force yourself up and out of bed, after being rudely shaken out of your slumber by that stupid alarm clock buzz, buzz, buzzing in your ear?

Did your body feel “young” and energetic as you got up, or...

...Were you achy and groggy from another restless night’s sleep?

When you looked yourself in the mirror, did you see a fresh, young face, or…

…Did you stagger into the bathroom, ankles and knees creaking , hunched over from back pain and tightness, and see an old version of yourself staring back through the mirror ? With bags under your eyes, dry & graying hair, wrinkled & dry skin?

When you looked down as you got dressed did you see a fit, lean, and healthy body, or…

… Did you see an ever-growing stomach, soft, “flabby” fat, and a body that’s become weak, tired and soft?

Look, weight gain, and weight loss, are serious concerns

but these other issues are also very serious:

Joint pain, muscle weakness, digestive issues, “old” skin and hair, stubborn belly fat, zero energy, and an addiction to carbohydrates…

… and they’re ALL connected.

 

Our gut & stubborn belly fat

                    

There is growing evidence showing the connection between a “leaky” gut and issues such as weight gain, thyroid problems, Type-2 Diabetes, a lack of energy, digestion problems (constipation, bloating, gas, diarrhea, indigestion, etc.).

Basically, our gut works like this…

Our entire digestive system, from our mouth to our hind end, is one long tube that’s actually outside our body… even though it’s inside.

This long tube has very strong barriers that keep toxic substances OUT of our body, and when these barriers are damaged, as in the case of leaky gut, then food particles and toxins that are not supposed to make it into our blood stream and lymph system, are there, which then makes organs like our liver have to work double time to get rid of this toxicity.

This heavy workload then makes our liver get sluggish and bogged down (imagine ourself having to do the job of 10 people in half the time and how that would make you feel)…

When our liver gets sluggish it makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to burn fat, because that’s where our fat gets processed…

… but it all starts in our gut.

Our intestines have small hair-like features that line their walls that help shuttle food along, aid in digestion, and help shuttle nutrients from our digestive system into our bloodstream to be used by our body.

Unfortunately the foods you eat, including many foods falsely labeled as “healthy”, as well as too much stress, a lack of sleep, too much alcohol, a lack of Vitamin D, and more can damage this delicate system...

... Causing toxins to be “leaked” into our body, leading to weight gain, an inability to LOSE weight, achy joints, constipation, bloating, rapidly aging skin, zero energy, hormone problems, etc.CLICK TO LEARN MORE

What foods can lead to such a horrible situation?

The biggest culprits are the “health foods” you eat every day, and have been told are the healthiest by big food corporations, your doctor, health teachers, and even the government.

You often hear vague claims in the news that "sugar is bad for you" or that "wheat and gluten are bad for you", but do you truly understand what these foods do to your insides?

Most people DON'T understand the reasons ...

...and the fact is that some of the foods you’re going to discover can not only DESTROY your digestive system, but also hormones and metabolism.

Not only that, but as you'll see below, there's a common plant-based food that you probably eat in restaurants frequently (I bet you ate this at least ONCE in the last week), and this common plant food is proven to CAUSE heart attacks!

 

The 3 reasons you should NEVER eat wheat -- Yes, even "whole wheat"

 CLICK TO LEARN MORE

Reason #1 -- Wheat causes blood sugar disruption, Glycation of your cells, increases AGING, weight gain & boosts Diabetes risk

some simple biochemistry in our body...

This deals with "glycation" in our body, and substances called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). These nasty little compounds called AGEs speed up the aging process in our body including damage over time to our organs, our joints, and of course, wrinkled skin.

So with that said, what is one of the biggest factors that increase production of AGEs inside our body?

This may surprise you, but high blood sugar levels over time dramatically increase age-accelerating AGEs in your body.

This is why type 2 diabetics many times appear that they have not aged well and look older than their real age. But this age-increasing effect is NOT just limited to diabetics.

So, let's get back to how "whole wheat" relates to this...

Here is a little-known fact that's often covered up by the massive marketing campaigns by giant food companies that want you to believe that "whole wheat" is healthy for you...

... But the fact is that wheat contains a very unusual type of carbohydrate (not found in other foods) called Amylopectin-A , which has been found in some tests to spike your blood sugar HIGHER than even pure table sugar.

In fact, amylopectin-A (from wheat) raises your blood sugar MORE than almost any other carbohydrate source on earth based on blood sugar response testing that's documented in studies.

This means that wheat-based foods such as breads, bagels, cereals, muffins, and other baked goods often cause MUCH higher blood sugar levels than most other carbohydrate sources.

The blood sugar test results of wheat vs oatmeal :

                             

2 slices of whole wheat toast :

45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar spiked from 86 fasting level to 155

1 Bowl of Oatmeal (equivalent grams of carbs to 2 slices wheat toast)

45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar increased from 86 fasting level to 112

Clearly, the whole wheat spiked blood sugar MUCH higher than the oatmeal, and if you don't know, 155 is a massive blood sugar reading and most people eat wheat without even thinking about it at almost EVERY meal.

Reason #2 -- Gluten and other gut-damaging compounds

                                       

The topic of gluten is on fire in the media lately...

...But most people are confused as to whether there's any real health risks with gluten for the average person that doesn't have Celiac disease.

The truth is that even if you are not officially "gluten intolerant " or "gluten sensitive ", there are hundreds of published studies that indicate that gluten can cause inflammation in your digestive system , and even cause "permeability" in your gut, which can lead to a health condition that's on the rise lately called Leaky Gut , as well as other digestive issues and autoimmune problems .

Scientists theorize that the reason gluten is causing these digestive system problems is due to the excessive hybridization of wheat over the last 50 years, which has created newly modified gluten molecules that are foreign to the human digestive system compared to the ancient wheat that humans ate for several thousand years historically, and even compared to the wheat that your grandparents ate 50+ years ago.

Reason #3 -- Antinutrients and mineral blockers in wheat

The third reason that wheat is terrible for you is that it contains what's called "antinutrients ", which are naturally occurring compounds in the wheat plant, but can cause undesirable effects in humans that eat too much of them.

One of these antinutrients is called phytates , which blocks the absorption in your body of certain minerals like zinc, iron, manganese, and calcium if you eat wheat too often.

Again, most people eat wheat with almost every meal (cereal in the morning, bread on sandwich at lunch, and pasta or bread at dinner), so this can cause a mineral deficiency in your body over time that leads to many health conditions.

Wheat has other mineral blockers and antinutrients aside from phytates, such as lectins. Lectins are another constituent of wheat that causes gut irritation . Yet another reason to minimize or eliminate wheat from your diet.

There's absolutely nothing "essential" about wheat in the human diet ...It simply does more harm than good...period.

"But what about the FIBER in wheat? I thought that's why it's supposed to be healthy?" Sorry, you can get ALL of the fiber you need from fruits, veggies, and nuts, without the digestive system damage and massive blood sugar issues that are caused by wheat.

The 3 reasons you should NEVER use Vegetable Oils...

                                      

Although vegetable oil has a healthy sounding name, it's NOT made from vegetables...As you might already know, vegetable oil actually comes from any combination of corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and/or cottonseed oil, ALL of which are absolutely terrible for your health.

In fact, they are downright deadly

Reason #1 -- Vegetable oils usually contain deadly trans fats, even if non-hydrogenated

You already KNOW that trans fats are deadly, so I won't go into all of the science as to why trans fats kill you and DAMAGE your cell membranes in your body...leading to all sorts of scary health problems like cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's, heart disease , and more.

Knowing these facts, I'm sure you already know to stay away from foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. You've heard that a million times before.

However, what you probably DON'T know is that even non-hydrogenated vegetable oils (all vegetable oils are refined) also contain some trans fats due to the extremely high heat, solvents, and pressure they are exposed to during the refining process. And yes, this includes so-called "expeller pressed" vegetable oils as well.

All of this high heat and high pressure processing along with the use of hexane solvents actually forces some of the polyunsaturated content of vegetable oils (yes, even so-called "healthy" canola oil) to be transformed into trans fats and something even worse that we'll talk about in a minute called "MegaTrans ".

According to Dr. Mary Enig, PhD, and Nutritional Biochemist, "Although the Canadian government lists the trans fat content of canola at a minimal 0.2 percent, research at the University of Florida at Gainesville, found trans fat levels as high as 4.6 percent in commercial liquid canola oil ".

And this is the garbage that the government and giant food conglomerates are marketing to you as a "healthy oil"! Don't fall for it.

Reason #2 -- Vegetable oils contain oxidized "mutated fats" that are worse than trans fat & CAUSE heart attacks

                                       

All vegetable oils contain oxidized fats due to the refining process and chemical reactions with the polyunsaturated fat content of vegetable oils.

Expert Nutrition author, Catherine Shanahan, MD, calls the fats in vegetable oils "MegaTrans", because they are similar in chemistry to trans fats, but even WORSE.

And MegaTrans from vegetable oils are found in almost ALL processed packaged foods, as well as virtually ALL restaurant fryers.

French Fries proven to immediately harm your arteries after eating them:

Free radicals formed during the refining of vegetable oils create these "mutant" fats, which damage your cell membranes & chromosomes, and create massive inflammation in your body .

The free radicals in vegetable oils also damage your arteries, which can directly lead to a heart attack . Please be aware that this isn't just a long-term risk of eating vegetable oils daily.

There are also studies that show immediate dysfunction in your arteries, also called endothelial function.

Catherine Shanahan, MD, cites in her book Deep Nutrition a study from New Zealand that showed that subjects who ate french fries from a restaurant fryer displayed immediate harm to their endothelial function of their arteries, going from a normal 7% dilation before eating the french fries to almost NO dilation at all (only 1%) AFTER eating the french fries. This is one thing that can cause a heart attack.

Dr Shanahan also surveyed hundreds of patients that were admitted to the hospital for a heart attack, and discovered that every sing le patient that just had a heart attack had consumed foods made with vegetable oils with their last meal before the heart attack

Reason #3 -- Vegetable oils cause massive imbalances with your Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats ratio

One of the other MAJOR reasons that vegetable oils are killing you is they are mostly made up of inflammatory omega-6 fats, while having very little anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.

The healthiest ratio from the scientific literature appears to be a ratio of 2:1 or even 1:1 for your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. However, most vegetable oils skew your ratio as high as 20:1 or even 30:1 in favor of harmful inflammatory omega-6 fats.

And worse yet, these omega-6 fats are NOT the innocent type found in nuts, they are the "mutant" damaged MegaTrans type that harm the tissues of your body.

This Omega fat imbalance can be YET another reason why vegetable oils lead to heart disease, cancer, obesity, and many other degenerative diseases that WILL shorten your life significantly if you don't cut out the vegetable oils ASAP.

As a quick note, the solution to all of these major problems with vegetable oils is to use healthy oils like coconut oil, olive oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil, and grass-fed butter, all of which are MUCH healthier than vegetable oils

The TRUTH about sugar... You can't just "burn off" sugar...

Heard a million times from health experts, bloggers, and on the news that sugar is terrible for you, but most people don't truly understand WHY it's so bad...

In fact, most people falsely think that if they eat sugar, they can just exercise a little bit harder that day or the next day so they can "burn it off"...

Unfortunately, that kind of thinking will lead you to an early grave.

It's not as simple as just "burning off sugar"...

It's about what sugar does internally to the cells of your body, and how sugar gums up your internal workings, causing disease.

 CLICK TO LEARN MORE

Here are just a few of the reasons that sugar is killing you...

• Just like wheat, sugar also causes extreme fluctuations in your blood sugar, and excess blood sugar causes Glycation inside your body, which accelerates the rate of aging of your organs, skin, arteries, and joints .
• Sugar also raises your triglycerides to dangerous levels, which can leads to heart disease .
• If that weren't bad enough, eating sugar too frequently also causes type 2 diabetes in the long run because you wear out your pancreas and insulin sensitivity.
• And if you need even MORE reasons why sugar will kill you, sugar also slows down your white blood cells , making infection more likely, and even allowing CANCER cells a better chance to form in your body.

Of course, you already know that sugar makes you fat, and gives you excess calories without any beneficial nutrients whatsoever. NOT talking about tiny amounts such as having 5 grams of sugar from a teaspoon of honey in your tea... Small amounts of natural sugar like that are not a problem. The REAL damage occurs when you eat that piece of cake and ingest 40-50 grams of sugar in one sitting, or that bag of candy with 35+ grams of sugar, or that soft drink with 45 grams of sugar or more...

So-Called "Health Foods" That Are Causing You to GAIN More Body Fat?

Kitchen cabinets and fridge LOADED with foods that they think are "healthy" (or have been deceived by clever food labels into believing are healthy), but in reality are fat-storing traps in disguise.

It's not uncommon to see foods such as:

• whole grain breads
• whole grain cereals
• whole grain crackers (more of that wheat that's killing you)
• soy milk
• tofu or "veggie burgers" (non-fermented soy can be harmful to your hormones)
• orange juice (loaded with too much fructose that raises your triglycerides)
• apple juice
• skim milk or homogenized milk
• margarine (deadly trans fat or even "MegaTrans")
• pre-packaged "diet" dinners
• sport drinks
• protein bars (most are candy bars in disguise!)
• overly processed meal replacements (with more junk than healthy ingredients)
• rice cakes (massive blood sugar spike)
• pasta (more wheat to age you faster)
• diet ice cream or diet desserts
• so-called "energy" drinks
• low-fat foods (usually replaces fat with more sugar)
• low-carb processed foods
• soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil
• etc, etc

So how do you repair your damaged digestive system and start melting away your embarrassing belly fat , while also increasing your energy, & fighting joint pain?

The simplest way is to get rid of the foods you now KNOW are damaging your system.

Second, add “fermentable fibers” to your diet, which are also called prebiotics (sweet potato, yam, yucca, etc.) and eat a lot of fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, and certain types of yogurt (but most yogurts found in your grocery store are simply milk with sugar and are NOT healthy) You can also supplement with probiotics, but make sure to start slow and build up.

Third, better manage your stress through better sleep patterns, exercise, and breathing techniques. Stress is known to damage your gut , so the better you handle it, the healthier your gut will be. Fourth, start adding Turmeric to your diet, either with supplements or sprinkling the spice on your food. Turmeric aids your liver in flushing out the toxic substances that have been building there due to your damaged gut. It also fights dangerous inflammation

But, most importantly, you should get rid of those “health foods” causing you all those problems, and start consuming the ACTUAL foods that help you BURN stubborn belly fat , fix your hormones, fight against Diabetes, and help you look and feel YEARS younger
