Logical Weight Loss

I have a friend of mine who is planning on having weight loss surgery. It doesn't matter what kind, but in the end it is probably not going to work.  Why? Because her weight is not the problem. It is a symptom. Numerous people have had surgery and found ways around the shrunken stomachs to eat themselves fat. Why? Because their weight was a symptom. A symptom of a problem. What problem? I don&...

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. -Budda Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. - Jim Rohn We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of dis...

Apple Health App Apple products are known for their ease of use. That was before the Health app from apple. I spent a lot of time just trying to input my age, sex, weight, etc. The other thing that seems really stupid is you input different ingrediants and minerals, etc individually. So have fun when you eat a salad figuring out how much of each mineral is in your food. This seems  really stupid ....

Today I share some insights into the movie Fed Up from the people of an unconventional truth and has Katie Couric. It is a straight shooting video that points out that we are just being lied to through the media as the food industries continues to feed us information through the media that is just a bunch of lies. You find out that a calorie is not a calorie. There is a great example of 160 calori...

Today I'm wrapping up some of my thoughts on the book IMPOSSIBLE: How I Lost Nearly 400 Pounds Without Surgery I really like a segment on the 7 habits of healthy people . These inlcude: Healthy people eat all the time (don't let yourself run on empty) Healthy people are prepared (and don't get food from drive-thru, and vending machines) Healthy people don't kill themselves at the g...

I went to a conference and one of the keynote speakers mentioned that we should schedule our lives to be run at 40%. Why? Because life happens, and that gets moved up to 80%. The problem is we schedule ourselves to be run at 100% (I know I did the last few weeks and a 3 lb increase was the result). Look at anything that is mechanical (car, copy machine, hard drive) if they run 100% of the time the...

Today its a  quick show but I noticed something. When I'm in the car I hear tons of advertisements for cars. Why? Because there are a ton of people who listen to the radio in their cars. Hence it makes sense for car dealers to advertise on the radio. It  is where their target market is. Makes sense? Then after my drive home (hearing car dealer after car dealer) and I turned on the 6 PM news. W...

Today I'm out with my portable recorder and taking you along as I walk to find some food. I'm still reading the book Impossible and the last chapter he asked, "What would you do if you were healthy?" Maybe its something like: Sit in any chair, Shop in the "normal" section Smile standing in front of a mirror naked Not see a gut when you take off your shirt.  Not feel your ba...

Why Diet's Are Doomed I was at a Casting Crowns concert and Mark Hall the lead singer made a great point. You start a diet when you are full and feel awful. You are inspired by the way you feel. You jump into everything you see. You buy P90X, and schedule time to jog every day  after you do the work out , you buy Shakeology and get on the monthly program. It's Sunday night. You're pump...

Today I talk about some reviews we've received in iTunes. Sometimes its hard to hear negative things about you, but you need to stop and ask if there is any validity to comments. In some cases, there are. Here is the one that really got me. It was from Ellen.   by EllenHenderson from USA on February 8, 2014  I like the guy - he seems like a really good person. However, for the entire time I&#3...

If you want to lose weight you need to make your own food, and measure everything you eat. You eyes deceive you. One trick you can do is eat on smaller plates. It sounds silly, but you eyes think its a lot of food when its not as much. Why is it that we won't settle for some things, but we lay back and let people poison our food. We convince ourselves that we "deserve" a break and then...

Today I'm still sharing from the book IMPOSSIBLE: How I Lost Nearly 400 Pounds Without Surgery and I'm finding it amazing. He talks about forcefeeders, and on Memorial Day I was faced with quite a few. Now, let me stop right there. Nobody put a gun to my head. My response is my responsibility. But I didn't want to hurt anyone, and in doing so I hurt my chances of losing weight. It was...

Today we again look at the book Impossible: How I lost 400 lbs. It's a great book and today is based on the chapter about taking steps for lasting weight loss. I think the part that jumped out at me is that we have to be honest with ourselves. We have to track what we put in out mouths, and we need to realize that our response is our responsibility. Life is 10% what happens to use and 90% of h...

Today I share some insights I'm getting from a great book called IMPOSSIBLE: How I Lost Nearly 400 Pounds Without Surgery . We had the author Bryan Ganey on a few episodes ago , and I'm just now getting around to reading his book. WOW IS IT AWESOME. It's filled with tons of just "Yeah, that makes sense - why didn't I think of that" information. The one thing I love about th...

I am at a bit of a crossroads. I really need to start making progress, so today I take off for a walk and bring you along as we talk about putting yourself first, and by exercising first you can't take that away. I realize that you can eat away any exercising you've done, but I feel you are more likely NOT TO if you've actually done the work.  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.c...

Today I talk about how Americans and how we seem to take every occasion we can to eat. Last week my father passed away from cancer at the age of 84. What did people do? They brought me food. While I appreciate it, I think this is mainly so we can eat instead of talk. […] Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today I talk about a pair of identical twins who do an experiment with one doing a low carb diet and the other doing an almost non fat diet. We also talk about ADA (azodicarbonamide) in our food.
