My friends and I have some lively discussions. Some would call these arguments, or verbal brawls, but we like to think of them as sharing ideas.
Recently, one of our lively discussions started with my questioning the things my friends feed their kids. I heard insanity like, "I make my kids a nutritious sandwich every day for lunch." My response was as expected, "you might as well just send them with bags of Skittles and Snickers bars."
To our bodies, bread and any foods containing processed or refined flours, looks just like a candy bar. Other foods that look just like candy to our bodies include chips, rice and pastas, cookies and crackers.
Unfortunately, we have been lead to believe a diet in grains is a healthy and good way to get nutrition in Twin Falls. This 'research' comes from farmers that make their living selling us grain. Foods that contain grain, or flours made from grain, are quickly broken down to simple sugars in our digestive system. Our bodies get used to a constant supply of simple sugars and we develop an addiction to sugar. This is where many of the cravings we suffer with come from. This is also where many debilitating diseases originate.
As we understand the sugar content in many of our everyday foods, it becomes easier to move away from regularly consuming them. The people that enjoy the greatest longevity on earth eat very few grains and items made with flour. Unfortunately for us Americans, that means cutting out a lot of our favorite snacks and lunch items. Basically, anything we buy in a bag, a box or a can is likely not good for our longevity.
We went back and forth for a few days as this concept of eliminating most grains became reality for my friends. Eventually, they agreed it was a good idea to stop sending their kids to school with sandwiches and bags of chips. They still think I'm nuts for how I eat, but they have difficulty disputing the positive results they see when the hidden sugars are cut out.
To your longevity, Be Blessed.
Why can't I lose weight in Meridian like I used to? I'm asked this question countless times each week. My clients don't understand why the weight doesn't come off like it did "a few years ago".
Typically "a few years ago" means many years ago, often decades ago. We wonder how it was so easy to maintain a healthy weight when we were in school or just getting started in our careers. Why is it we could eat almost anything and any amount we wanted and we didn't seem to gain any weight? And if we did gain any weight just a few workouts in the gym and that weight was gone in a few weeks.
There are no simple answers to why we don't lose weight like we used to. Most often it is a combination of four factors:
Our program at Dynamic Fat Loss is built around the needs of each individual client as we determine how to assist each client with their weight loss goals. We use highly advanced bio-survey technology to access our clients so we can recommend a program that will meet those needs and help clients meet their goals.
We understand the typical, modern diet is lacking the necessary minerals, micro-nutrients and overall nutrition. In addition, our normal American diet is laced with chemicals, preservatives and food additives that can create toxins in our bodies.
As our clients progress in the first few days on our program they often notice changes in how they feel and their energy levels almost immediately. Positive changes on the scale are wonderful to see and health benefits often start showing up in just weeks. The testimonials from our clients quickly state their weight loss, but then go much deeper as they describe the health benefits they see while working with Dynamic Fat Loss.
The health benefits are so wonderful to hear about as our clients describe having lower blood pressure, getting off heart medications and not being labeled "pre-diabetic". The list of health changes seems to be endless as we hear clients describing joints that don't ache anymore, going to sleep easily at night and sleeping through the night. Waking up with energy and vitality to enjoy the entire day.
Our greatest satisfaction comes as clients tell us they feel empowered with the knowledge to keep up their health as they maintain a healthy weight. They can eat real food and have a roadmap for success they can follow for years to come. They can look forward to being active and seeing their children grow up as they look forward to playing with grandchildren.
No matter why or how the weight was gained, at Dynamic Fat Loss we help our clients lose weight, often getting off medications they have taken for years and return to health they have not enjoyed in years. Let's get going.
