10-Step Minky Tips: Each month take one step and learn it, live it and then build on it; then onto the next step. Step #1–Educate Yourself...Then deep breathe. Forget magazines & grants & studies sponsored by Big Pharma. Ask yourself the 'right questions'. Make your own decision. See both sides of the story.
Purchase the book:
"A Life Unburdened ...Getting Over Weight and Getting On With My Life". Volume 2; by Richard Morris. (Available at Amazon.com. His website is Bread and Money.com Click on the right) You should follow this incredible book's steps. Discover the importance of healthy fats in the diet / Traditional, nourishing diets of our ancestors / Discussion of the Low-Fat Lie / What supplementation is a must / Grocery shopping list / what foods to avoid...like SOY, HFCS, and aspartame!
Step #2 –Find Your Motivation. How does being over weight, tired all the time, gasping for air after walking one flight of stairs, etc. make you feel? Why should you care? How would your life be different if you were trimmer and stronger? If you had a magic wand what would you change about your health? Determine your Basal Metabolic Rate and your personal energy requirements. View sample meal plans. Know your Blood Pressure (BP) and Waist to Hip measurements (WHR) to determine body type (pear, avocado, apple)
Step #3 –Match the Size of the Commitment with the Size of the Problem. Find a BIG goal that really means something to you and then take smaller steps toward that goal. Don't rationalize your weight issues and eating..."I've tried everything. Being 'big' is just what I am. Not who I am. If I was meant to be thin, I would have been born that way." Don't lessen the readings of your health-related numbers. Example, "My pressure is usually 178/90 so, 150/88 is good for me." If your weight is impacting your health; you have to get committed to get your life back. Learn the most important lab values you need to know to lower your heart attack risk. And it's NOT total cholesterol!
Step #4– Eat as Though Your Life Depended on It. Learn to read ingredient labels. Discover how to spot ingredients in foods that suppress thyroid function, that are neurotoxic, that support fat gain and that increase crap cravings. Review the dangers of a high intake of processed soy and MSG. Learn what real nutrient-dense foods are, why and where to find raw dairy products, grass-fed beef, and how to asborb fat soluble nutrient activators Vitamins A & D and how to avoid making expensive urine.
Step #5 –Simplify Your Life. Finding space to prepare for new foods and food storage. Clearing out the clutter. Organizing and prioritizing your meals. Finding time to cook.
Step #6–Make Exercise a Part of Your Life. Get a demonstration of Get up. Pee. Pajamas. Go. At home (G.P.P.G.) exercises. Learn how to overload your muscle safely and efficiently. Explanation of Pogo Panting Cardio (PPC). How exercising in a qualified way instead of a quantified way will get you results every couple of weeks. Find Resting Heart Rate. Explanation of heart rate zones & fat loss training.
Step #7–Get Plenty of Rest & Recovery. Increase your stress resistance by recovering fully after exercise, illness and emotionally draining days. Know signs of over-training, poor dieting, and not enough rest.
Step #8–Create Harmony in Your Life. Avoiding saboteurs and negative people. Continously being 'In-the-Learn'. Open to other opinions; but knowing your values. Smiling more and enjoying now.
Step #9 -Find Your Motivation...again. Deep breathe again and during times of feeling stressed.
Step #10 -Share What You've Learned. Zig Ziglar said it best, "You can get whatever you want in life; if you just help enough other people get what they want." Share recipes, food and products samples. Take measurements-WHR & BP. How do you feel? How are you different now than 10 months ago?
