Losing Weight Fast and Healthy Part 3

Diet

For those of you who cheated and came here first, shame on you.  You have no idea how much important information you are missing on this dieting program by ignoring the first two articles.  For those of you who read parts 1 and 2, good job, you will get the most out of this.

As you saw in the transition between part 1 and two I was losing weight.  I was losing it fast, and I wasn’t dealing with “loose skin”.  Loose skin is rarely loose skin.  Watch the health channel when someone who lost a lot of weight is getting loose skin removed after dropping a dramatic amount of weight and you will see what I saw.  There is still a good amount of fat on that skin.  Fat is not loose skin, it’s fat.  The reason people generally have loose skin is because of something improper in their diets.  They lose the weight in the wrong manner and with their muscles shrinking along with their fat, they separate from each other and the result is a fat bag hanging.  Doubt that?  Ask your doctor and they will confirm it.  I did.

So I had no loose skin on this diet.  Hopefully this is enough of a back story, so now let’s get it on.

Ready? (Think Diet)

Excited? (Know you can do this)

Thinking I am going to ask you to buy my book yet?

Well I’m not.

I just wanted to build some suspense.

OK, here goes.

The entire diet is based on the principle of “Registered Calories”.

A registered calorie is any calorie from a food that has been altered from its original state.  In a nutshell, once you change how a food is absorbed, you change the property of that food.  Your body has developed over hundreds and hundreds of generations to absorb nutrients out of different foods.  You eat an apple, a tomato, an avocado; your body is set to take the nutrients out of it that it needs by the time that food passes.  You take that same tomato, boil it down, add chemicals to it, you just changed the rate at which your body is able to absorb the nutrients from that same tomato.  But in its raw form, or nothing less than bite sized pieces, you body will absorb it at the rate it was meant to.  This is the same for all foods with very few exceptions.  So if a food is unprocessed it is an unregistered calorie, but if a food is cooked, blended, or otherwise altered from its original state, it is a registered calorie.

Think I’m wrong or oversimplifying it?  Well here is something to consider.  Right now, we live in a world where more foods are processed than ever before.  We also live in a world right now with the highest percentage of people who are grossly overweight than ever before.  Coincidence? I think not.

So what does that mean?  Am I telling you to stay away from burgers, cooked foods, and sweets?  No.  On this diet I stuck to 1,000 registered calories a day.  Was not hard to do at all.  I didn’t have to eat nine times a day.  I didn’t have to stay away from sushi, or any of the foods that I loved.  I simply added more unregistered calories to my intake and lost a pound a day.

In the next section I will show some practical’s to the diet.  This should help you get a better idea of how the diet works.
