Honest Fat Loss and Strength Training

Posted On Nov 5 2015 by

Honest, Healthy Fat Loss and Strength Training I have been working with fat loss and weight control for decades.  And I have worked with fitness even longer. I have coached people in those areas as well.  Mostly, I have referred people to great resources – books, healers, and coaches. Now, I send people here – Metabolic Effect. My doctor, Amy Hobson, went to school with Jade and Keoni Teta and suggested that I work with them.  I have been following their fitness and eating suggestions ever since.  And referred clients to their book.  (Read my experience with the Slim Jim …


Slim Jim Diet – Honest Fat Loss

Posted On Oct 29 2015 by

Slim Jim Diet My body and I gain weight, add fat really easily.  I am sensitive to carbohydrates.  Very.  And I eat emotionally sometimes.  This makes for a tough combination if I want to maintain my high school weight.

I visit Sasha, our youngest daughter at Washington State University, we eat in good restaurants.  I gain another 5 pounds. Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. What I’m doing doesn’t work.  Try …

How Optical Illusions Help You Eat Well

Posted On Jul 31 2008 by

How can air in food make you more satisfied – make you eat less?  How can it curb a tendency to be fat, or reverse a trend?   Can it?  Turns out – yes.   Feed a hungry college student a half glass full of smoothie and they will eat 20% more at lunch ½ later than the college student who drinks the SAME smoothie only whipped until it swells to a full glass with air.  Not only that, but the ones that eat the airy smoothie don’t make it up at their next meal.    My brother, John, and …


What Are You Hungry For?

Posted On Jul 14 2008 by

Sometimes, I find it hard to tell when I’m really hungry for nutrients as opposed to being emotionally hungry. I have been on a long journey to heal some early wounds around eating.  I am much recovered.   Because I like to explore my edges and live outside my comfort zone, I still find it difficult.  Obviously, living outside your comfort zone, can trigger emotions.

Physical Hunger Builds gradually Strikes below the neck, e.g. growling stomach Occurs several hours after …

Two Magic Nutritional Supplements Zap Bad Guys

Posted On May 16 2007 by

After reading Andrew Weil’s very useful book, Healthy Aging, I decided to try some of his suggestions.  (Just out in paperback.) Weil favors Zyflamend, an anti-inflammatory supplement, composed of a half dozen herbs and other goodies.  One herb included is turmeric, that’s right, the spice.  It turns out that folks in India who eat a bunch of it have much lower incidences of Alzheimer’s disease.  Since I have some genetic predisposition to this inflammatory brain condition, I thought taking some would be a good plan.  (It would be difficult to get enough in your food unless you shift to the …
