Weekly Recipe and Healthy Tips

About Cat: I'm 57 years old. I lost 40 lbs. in 90 days and still can't believe it. Out of habit, I reach for an Extra Large size, but now I wear a Medium. I never thought I'd wear a size 8 ever again, but I'm there. I dieted all my life. I'd lose weight and then gain it back...and then some. I finally got to the point where I just wanted to FEEL better. If the weight came off -- great -- that would be a bonus. What makes this plan so perfect for me is that I DO FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. I can think more clearly and I definitely have more energy. Keeping my weight stable will always be a challenge for me, but now I have the tools to work WITH my body, instead of against it. When you know how to eat it's a feeling of freedom!

In order to keep your body in the Fat Burning State, instead of the Fat Storage State, it is critical that you fuel your body every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day for LIFE. This is also the best way to stabilize the blood sugar which keeps diseases at bay and slows the aging process!  

Excerpt from Dr. A’s Habits of Health, by Dr. Wayne S. Andersen 

The Path to Optimal Health and Beyond (page 18): As I take you through the phases of your journey to optimal health, a number of improvements will begin to occur throughout your body. If your health is like most of ours, your body is probably in fat-storage mode right now, with progressive weight gain and an associated high insulin level. These unhealthy physical conditions create an inflammatory state that’s a major contributor to heart disease, cancer, and premature aging. As you start down your new path, we’ll focus on your energy intake and the foods you’re eating – things we can change immediately. Beginning in Phase I, we’ll transform you from a fat factory to a fat-burning machine, stabilize your insulin, douse the inflammatory fires, and start building habits that support health.

Here’s a snapshot (chart could not be duplicated) of some of those improvements as you journey through the phases toward optimal health: PHASE I Beginning the Weight-loss Phase PHASE II Incorporating the Habits of Health PHASE III Optimizing Your Health PHASE IV Longevity SUBJECTS OF COMPARISON:Fat vs. Muscle Insulin Level Inflammation Level Body Mass Index (BMI) Habits of Health vs. Habits of Disease. But before we begin, we’re going to spend some time really looking at this choice you’re making the choice to be healthy. Because in order to reach and maintain your goals – for weight loss, for better health, for more fulfilled life – it’s essential to first understand where you are right now, where you need to be, and just what’s standing in your way.
