Philisophical investments

…can sometimes be more costly than financial ones.

Go here: Diabetes Risk Test  Take it. It’s real fast. Do this then read the rest of this blog.

Since it’s coming from the American Diabetes Association you can trust it, right? (The very fact that there is such an organization is suspect. We create the disease then organizations for curing it.)

No matter what your score the recommendations are the same.

  • Keep your weight under control
  • Stay active most days (why not all?)
  • Eat low fat meals HIGH in fruits (SUGAR) vegetables (SUGAR) and whole grain foods (SUGAR)

So the take home message from the ADA is this: If your a diabetic or if you don’t want to become one, eat mostly sugar all day long, everyday for the rest of your life.

Sheesh. NO! More than sheesh – dear God!

The very organization that is dedicated to curing diabetics is turning people into them!

"Soylent Green…is peeeeople!"

I know – WHOLE grains you say, fruit not candy bars Fred, veggies aren’t sugar Mr. Hahn! (Right?)

Wrong.

All complex carbs must be broken down into simple ones when they go down into the fiery furnaces of your body.  It’s all a candy bar more or less once carbs are broken down into their constituent properties.

No animal alive has the enzymes to break down cellulose. Herbivores manage to breakdown veggie matter by putrification in the loooooong intestinal highways they posses (that by comparison we do not – our digestive system more resembles a dog or lion) where bacteria invades the matter and breaks it down.

What happens next?

"Beans beans there good for your heart. They make you want to…"

Come to think of it, cows are gassy animals aren’t they?

Cow

Organizations like the ADA, AMA, NIH, AHA and a bunch of others have so much philosophical investment in the current food pyramid that they cannot see what is happening right before their very eyes – a pandemic of obese people created by their own recommendations.

What  a racket.

My recc – eat the cow – don’t eat like one.

A Gallon a day Keeps the Fat Away

Look at this picture.

Water

You are made mostly of this substance (well OK you’re really made of of mostly atoms but…).

Every cell in your body is thirsty for it.

The discs between your vertebra are desperate for it. 

Your skin, hair and nails are wrinkly, limp an brittle in its absence.

Your internal organs struggle to function if there’s too little of it.

And body fat? It’s going nowhere fast without it.

If you want to get rid of something you FIRST have to know where it goes.

EX: If you want to take out the trash because the darn thing is so full that the milk carton has popped out for the umpteenth time already, you know where to take it (I hope).

So where does fat go?

Seal

3 main places.

Air. Air. Down the loo.

But first a visual aid. Canned sterno.Sternofire

Imagine this as your body fat being used as fuel. See the little flame? It’s hot. HEAT. That’s the ticket.

How does heat escape your body? In other words, how does a person radiate the fat off of herself?

Again 3 ways:

  1. Off of the skin
  2. From the breath
  3. Voiding

Let’s look at #1. Skin – the largest organ in your body. Fat radiates off of your skin and is lost as heat. This is why it is easier for bigger people to lose fat than smaller people. TIP: Dress cool. Stay cool. As more fat will be needed to keep you warm.

#2: Breath. Talk a lot. No, really (I’ve made that joke before) this is the least important of the 3 avenues. TIP: Deep breathing exercises are great for calming down, raising your respiratory rate hence, fat usage. It’s REALLY minimal but hey! (And you don’t need Joe Schmo’s infomercial kit for this!)

#3 Voiding. This is where the H2O come in. Ever notice that pee pee is warm? (If you have kids, you sure as heck do!) Your body needs to heat water from cool to 98.6 degrees to void it. Here is an study abstract that supports my statement: Proof

TIP: A gallon of refrigerator water requires a lot of fat to heat it up – think of the sterno can. In fact, it takes about 200 calories to heat a gallon of very cool water to void it. That’s as many calories as your 40 minute treadmill run all without the joint degradation!!

(Remember, if you’re Slow Burning 2X a week regularly, your cardio system is gettin’ what it needs.)

So there you have it. On a piece of scrap paper, draw a picture of 8, 16 ounce glasses. X out one each time you finish drinking one. Have all of them X’d out by dinner time and then stop so you don’t awaken at 3 AM to tinkle.

Distilled water is great. My favorite is Apollinaris lightly bubbly water. Smart Water is good too. Do some research as tap water might not be the best thing to drink heavily due to the chlorine and fluoride. 

But ultimately just drink up!
