Welcome to the November issue of my
Natural Weight Loss™
e-newsletter. My
vision
is to help you create a healthy, fit
body and mind in safe, healthy,
effective, enjoyable ways.
It is not my intention to strengthen your ability to diet, but to
educate you to listen and interpret the
messages your body is giving to you.
I want you to make friends with food and to learn to eat mindfully
and joyfully. Food is giving you life.
It is not the enemy. Your fear of food
is causing it to work against you.
Weight problems, like all challenges, have a physcal, mental,
emotional, and spiritual component.
If you're looking for another trendy diet to follow, my approach is
not for you. Dropping the dieting
mentality is an important step in
Being Your Own Weight Loss Guru™.
Instead, make your goal balanced health
at all levels. Doing so takes off the
pressure, and pressure keeps weight on.
Your body is a reflection of your
mental, emotional, and attitudinal
aspects.
I know you want to be in the best shape possible not only for the
Holidays, but also for a fresh start
into the New Year. Scroll down to learn
how you can look and feel better NOW.
This issue addresses a few of the causes and solutions to belly
fat. If you want to know the whole
story, join me for my
Eliminating Belly Fat TeleSeminar
on December 1 and
Creating Healthy Metabolism
on December 8. Details are below.
I've created a home study program for
Creating a Healthy, Fit Body. You'll receive two e-books and four MP3
recordings. I know you are busy and
that your health and weight are
priorities. By participating in this
program you can learn and implement the
concepts at your own pace. Details are
below.
Your body is always communicating to
you, but few know how to
accurately interpret the messages.
Excess weight, cravings and addictions,
thoughts and emotions, aches and pains
and health issues are guidance systems.
If you're still struggling with weight,
health or emotional issues, you're
missing the wisdom of these symptoms.
Weight loss is a long, slow, tedious
journey without working on the mental,
emotional, and spiritual causes of the
issue. The rewards are far greater than
weight loss and will extend into every
aspect of your health and life. |

Healthy, Fit Body and
Mind Home Study Program
If you are genuinely committed to your weight
and health goals, this
home study program
provides the perfect
opportunity for you to
succeed without struggle
and deprivation. Full
details and special
offer are below.
Belly Fat and Digestion
Belly fat has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease,
stroke and diabetes. A
new study links belly
fat to early death
whether you are
overweight or not. If
you have belly fat, this
study states that you
double your risk of
dying prematurely.
These research findings
can be found in the
November 12 issue of
The New England Journal
of Medicine.
Western Science suggests
aerobic exercise and a
healthy diet to reverse
central obesity. That's pretty generic advice and not
very helpful. There are
many causes of mid-body
fat and I'll discuss a
few of them in this
article. For more
information on this
important health
topic, join me on
December 1 for my
Eliminating Belly Fat TeleSeminar. You can participate from anywhere in the world.
Click Here for
details.
Belly fat comes from internal organ weakness. Damp excess and
mucoid deposits,
especially in the
digestive organs, cause
abdominal puffiness,
distension, and
bloating. Mucous and
damp conditions can
cause, and are caused
by, bacteria, viruses,
overgrowth of yeasts,
fungus, parasites,
edema, cysts, tumors and
cancer. Cause and effect
are difficult to
distinguish. Dampness
means an overly moist or
wet condition.
Imagine a sponge that you continually add moisture to. It keeps
expanding. When you dry
out the sponge, it
contracts. Drying the
excess moisture and
mucus in your digestive
organs will reduce the
size of your belly.
Using food to reverse
this issue takes time
and you must be patient
and persistent. Adding
some health supportive
products can bring
results more quickly.
External factors such as living in a house with mold and other damp
living conditions play a
part in these
conditions.
Food is the biggest cause and some of the major contributors are:
excessive amounts of raw
foods and juice; greasy
foods such as pizza,
french fries, fried
meats, fatty luncheon
meats and margarine; and
all cow's milk
products. Eating
fat-free or low-fat
versions of these foods
will make no difference
in your belly fat. They
are probably more
harmful since a chemical
process is used to
remove the fat.
Other causes of a continually expanding waistline are sugar,
alcohol, yeasted foods,
spoiled food, and too
many complicated dishes
or too many ingredients
in a dish.
Poor food combining, food sensitivities, food allergens, and some
medications and
supplements are
additional triggers for
belly fat. These are
big issues and will be
addressed in my
Eliminating Belly Fat
TeleSeminar on December 1.
Drying Dampness Reduces
Belly Fat
Here are a few tips for reducing central fat:
-
Eat 6 or more cups of cooked vegetables daily;
-
Include steamed leafy greens regularly with a
splash of lemon;
-
Eliminate fruit except for grapefruit, tart
green apples, and
berries;
-
Eat roasted, unsalted organic pumpkin seeds and
almonds moderately;
-
Take Colostroplex daily. It has probiotic
activity and
improves gastro
immunity, treats
food intolerance.
Click here for more
information.
-
Pau D'Arco Tea -- 3
cups daily;
-
Ginger Tea made from fresh ginger twice
daily after
meals--Simmer 4-5
slices of ginger in
a cup of water for
8-10 minutes. If
you need a sweetner,
use stevia;
-
Oil of Oregano Capsules -- don't use if you
have sluggish bowels
or constipation;
-
Eliminate cow's milk products. Goat and sheep
cheeses do not cause
digetive dampness
and mucus, and can
be used moderately;
-
Use fresh lemon in your water daily;
-
Don't keep leftovers more than a few days;
Food begins to spoil
before it actually
tastes bad. When
you eat it you are
putting bacteria in
your digestive
tract. This is the
perfect environment
for yeast and fungi
to proliferate and
grow your belly;
-
Chew your food until liquid.
Of course, there's more to the story. Deficiency of digestive fire
and digestive qi (chee)
will cause your belly to
grow and many health and
weight issues.
Deficient digestive fire
symptoms include watery
stools with undigested
food; cold hands and
feet; clear urine;
pallor, and others.
Deficient digestive Qi
symptoms include loose
bowels, general
weakness, especially of
arms and legs; food
sensitivities,
indigestion, anemia,
ulcers, and others.
I don't want to
overwhelm you with too
much information in this
e-newsletter. This will
all be covered in my
Eliminating Belly Fat
TeleSeminaron
December 1. You'll also
receive the e-book and
the MP3 recording so you
can study and implement
these concepts at your
own pace.
Your Bowel Habits Matter
Most people don't like
to talk about their
bowels habits, so I'll
start the conversation
for you. Elimination is
an essential part of
good health. This means
bowel movements once or
twice a day that are
formed. brown, and that
float. Bowels that are
too dark or too light
may be signaling health
problems.
Loose, frequent bowel
movements and
constipation are two
indicaters of poor
digestive health,
including digestive
immunity.
Many say it is normal
for them to have only a
few bowel movements a
week. This is not
normal and contributes
to a toxic inner
environment and belly
fat. Some
remedies for
constipation:
2-4 TB. of ground flax
seeds daily. Do not eat
them whole. You can't
digest them. Purchase
the whole ones and grind
them yourself in a
coffee grinder or
blender, and keep them
refrigerated. You can
buy them already ground
and I would buy small
quantities as they go
rancid quickly.
Chia seeds are excellent
for sluggish bowels and
are a high source of
Omega 3 fatty acids,
second to flax seeds.
Black Sesame Seeds are a
good source for
minerals. are
lubricating to the
intestines and a remedy
for constipation. Dry
roast in a skillet and
eat 2 TB. daily
sprinkled on food. Chew
them well.
Drink Aloe Vera Juice before meals.
Eat high fiber whole, unprocessed grains such
as brown rice, millet,
hulled barley, and
quinoa cooked with
unrefined sea salt.
Chew your food until liquid to avoid food
stagnation and to mix
the food with digestive
enzymes that are in
saliva.
For
loose, frequent bowels:
Take Grapefruit Seed Extract;
Dissolve a heaping tsp. of kuzu in a cup of
cold water in a
saucepan. Add a pinch
of dried ginger; bring
to a boil; turn down
heat and simmer 3-4
minutes.
Add a chopped umeboshi plum to the kuzu/ginger
drink. It is available
in health food stores.
Use Oil of Oregano Capsules.
Take Colostroplex and/or Quiet Digestion.
Eat only cooked food and small meals chewed
well.
Avoid cow's milk products, honey, fruit and
foods that are difficult
to digest.
These are a few tips for improving
elimination. The
overall diet must be
improved to eliminate
the cause and strengthen
your digestive system.

What Clients Have
Said
"I don't know how to explain
it--but I feel better inside. I
no longer have feelings of
anxiety about my weight since I
began working with you. I've
lost 15 pounds in 2 months even
with eating many meals in
restaurants; my blood pressure
is now normal without
medication; I no longer have to
take pain medication; and people
are constantly telling me how
great I look. I'm amazed at how
much better everything is since
I've been working with you." K.
I., Pittsburgh
"I've tried every diet in the world. I got
deathly sick on Atkins and my cholesterol
spiked; Jenny Craig was so restrictive and
expensive I couldn't maintain it; with Nutri
Systems I was buying expensive, mail order food
that tasted like cardboard. Your approach is so
flexible and I love eating real food. I am
never hungry and have no cravings. My overall
health and energy have improved. Best of all
are your inner fitness techniques for quickly
working through stress and emotional eating."
G. M. Boulder
"I've stopped fearing food with your very wise
help. I never realized how much my emotions
affected my energy. Now that I am no longer
obsessing about food I have far more energy to
enjoy my life. Thank you for helping me
understand how to listen to my own body
and emotions and eat for my personal needs. My
work with you has given me freedom--a huge bonus
to the weight loss and better health." J. W.
London
"Getting a pay-off from being overweight was
something I never considered. Exploring this
with you has brought me to a place of greater
self respect and a much healthier weight." B.
S. Harrisburg
