A Nutritional Strategy for Weight Loss, Optimal Health & Longevity

Today, a full two thirds of Americans are overweight - and one third can be considered clinically obese. At present, it is estimated that up to 35% of all Americans are trying to lose weight.

It is also estimated that the overweight and obese spend a shocking $50-90 billion yearly on products and services to lose weight, which includes buying low-calorie and low-fat foods, joining commercial weight loss centers and buying their expensive packaged foods, visiting ‘fat farms', using antidepressants or stimulants, and undergoing liposuction and other methods of surgical fat removal or gastric bypass.

ALL OF THESE METHODS CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOUR HEALTH

Many commercial weight loss centers demand your time to attend meetings. Plus, their food products are expensive and offer little flexibility to meet your individual needs. The positive effect of visiting many ‘fat farms' can often disappear as soon as you return home to the real world of everyday life.

If you've ever talked with me about the need for human beings to use natural methods for optimal health and wellness, you know my opinion about the use of antidepressants and stimulants, liposuction and gastric bypass. The risk of toxic and potentially deadly side effects is simply much too great and these methods do NOT address the root cause of the problem!

For example, the gastric bypass patients I have known simply return to eating the same garbage that caused their problem in the first place, only they now eat the Cheetos, pizza, sweet rolls, Cheese Wiz, cheese fries, fried chicken, doughnuts, candy, Hot Pockets, and other of the multitude of anti-nutrient crap with a small teaspoon, while sipping sugared soft drinks through a straw . What do you think the long-term health consequences of this will be? What the extent of the potential long-term damage will be to these mildly to moderately obese patients who now routinely undergo what was only a few years considered to be a last resort procedure reserved only for those whose extreme morbid obesity was imminently life-threatening is unknown. There are now highway billboards and newspaper ads hyping this irresponsible quack procedure as if it were as harmless and routine as the most superficial plastic surgery. But the doctors and hospitals that perform it are virtually "held harmless" thanks to the recent malpractice award limitations passed by the Texas legislature.

You may be surprised to learn that some weight loss medications may cause increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, headache, insomnia, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, dry mouth, and more? And they may prevent proper absorption of important nutrients you need as well.

If you choose the surgical option, you are essentially gambling with your health... your odds are actually better at Las Vegas and at least in Vegas, you can have some fun!

The potential risks of side effects of surgery include: infection, allergic reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, blood loss, damage to your skin, nerves, or vital organs, plus other non-life-threatening, unpleasant effects.

But physical risks are only part of the picture with many common approaches. There is huge potential for emotional side effects as well.

So why should there be emotional risks to programs that fail?

Well, for starters there is an astounding ninety five percent failure rate with most weight loss programs. The fact is, we know from our study of psychology that through the process of what is known as "learned helplessness" repeated failure is likely to result in depressed mood and loss of self-esteem rather than any loss of weight. For example, I recently talked with a friend who had asked me about my protocol at a party we both attended. She has had six (6) liposuction procedures, two trips to fat farms, and five "treatment programs" with weight loss centers, all with no lasting success. Although I encouraged her to give my program a try, her response was, "I'm so depressed about my failures, I've just given up on myself. I just feel worthless and not deserving of anybody's time or efforts to help me." This is from a person I have known for twenty years, who has always impressed me with her cheerful, "can do" attitude. She's now thinking about going on anti-depressant medication. This is the kind of emotional toll taken by fraudulent programs that bilk people of their money while providing nothing but marketing hype and false hope in return.

Like it or not, there really is no "Magic Bullet" or panacea that will instantly cure the problem of excess body fat without some basic changes in your own personal lifestyle.

But you have to be provided with valid, science-based information to make those lifestyle changes. The advice, "eat right" just isn't going to get it!

The most important step for effective weight management is to choose foods that nature provides which are specific to our human biogenetic heritage and our unique human cell physiology.  The other crucial element is to get 30-45 minutes of appropriately strenuous exercise at least three (3) times per week.

BEYOND BODY FAT®

That is why I developed BEYOND BODY FAT®, a four-week, science-based naturopathic nutrition protocol not only for body fat reduction, but for anti-aging & optimal wellness in general.

Excess body fat (sometimes called cellulite in women) is a problem for many people, but because most diet/nutrition programs are long on marketing hype & short on science, they are totally ineffective in dealing with the root cause of the problem.

BEYOND BODY FAT® applies knowledge of the sciences of human biology, anthropology, and cell physiology to help you effectively remove body fat and keep it from returning.

• Unlike invasive medical procedures, there is no possibility of pain, down-time, bumps or dimpling, scarring or burning, post-surgical infections or medical complications.
• There are no prescription drugs and consequently no drug side effects.
• There is no "going hungry." You eat recommended foods until your hunger is satisfied.
• There is no ‘calorie counting."
• There are no prepared foods or packaged meals to buy. All the required foods are available at your local supermarket or other retail outlets.
• Clients meet with the doctor one hour per week with daily journaling and consultation by email.

Program Overview

You will learn that:

• Only some fats make you fat (hint: butter is not one of them). Saturated fats are absolutely necessary for good health & actually promote metabolism of excess body fat. Some fats are toxic & deposited almost immediately as body fat as soon as they are eaten, yet these are promoted as healthful in the American diet.
• Meat is an excellent food for us, but must be selected with great care due to the fact that most supermarket meat is essentially ruined by modern industrial food production methods.
• The best diet is one patterned after that of our primitive ancestors.
• The consumption of the seeds of large grasses (grains) is inconsistent with our bio-genetic history & a major factor in the production of excess body fat as well as premature aging & many degenerative diseases.
• How our natural taste for sweetness is used to manipulate & deceive us into eating toxic processed foods.
• Much of the Standard American Diet (SAD) consists of anti-nutrients that actually interfere with the absorption of the real nutrients our bodies need.
• Although many "weight loss" supplements sold in health food & drug stores are worthless, a few can actually be helpful if used under the direction of a trusted and competent professional health advisor who holds an advanced degree.
• Why exercise has many benefits, but when done without significant nutritional changes will not result in any significant loss of body fat & may be life threatening.
• Why we are all "hard-wired" by nature to become addicted to some of the foods that cause excess body fat. Which foods you can eat to prevent or remove these addiction cravings.
• How to select & prepare nutritionally superior foods for yourself & your family (includes many delicious recipes).
