How to Stay Thin
The cheapest sweetener you can buy is High
Fructose Corn Syrup. Corn sweeteners are both
cheaper and sweeter and that’s why it is in just
about everything you buy.
I was in Michigan a few months ago and went to the
store to pick something up. My granddaughter and
her girl friend wanted to go with. When we got
there she asked. Can we get something? I told her
you can get what ever they want, as long as it
doesn’t contain high fructose corn syrup. They
looked around the entire store reading labels and
they both came back to me and said everything has
it.

I did some research my self and found out that
most corn in the USA is Genetically Modified and
that’s an entirely different problem that I will
address later.

I found an article by Dr. Mercola very
interesting.
“A 2009 study from University of California, Davis
takes its place in a growing lineup of scientific
studies demonstrating that consuming high-fructose
corn syrup is the fastest way to trash your
health. It is now known without a doubt that sugar
in your food, in all its myriad of forms, is
taking a devastating toll. Fructose in any form —
including high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and
crystalline fructose — is the worst of the worst!
Fructose, a cheap sweetener usually derived from
corn, is used in thousands of food products and
soft drinks. Excessive fructose consumption can
cause metabolic damage and triggers the early
stages of diabetes and heart disease.
Some of the side effects are
Insulin resistance and obesity

• Elevated triglycerides and elevated LDL

• Depletion of vitamins and minerals

• Cardiovascular disease, liver disease, cancer,
arthritis, and gout

• High Blood Pressure

It isn’t that fructose itself is bad — it is the
MASSIVE DOSES you’re exposed to that make it
dangerous. There are two reasons fructose is so
damaging:

1. Your body metabolizes fructose in a much
different way from glucose. The entire burden of
metabolizing fructose falls on your liver.
2. People are consuming fructose in enormous
quantities, which has made the negative effects
much more profound.

The FDA classifies fructose as GRAS: Generally
Regarded As Safe. Which pretty much means nothing
and is based on nothing. There is plenty of data
showing that fructose is not safe — but the
effects on the nation’s health have not been
immediate. That is why we are just now realizing
the effects of the last three decades of
nutritional misinformation.

If you really want to lose weight and keep it off
it’s easy if you are willing to make a life style
change. But if you are not about to change your
eating habits you may just be on the yoyo program
where you loose a few pounds and gain them right
back. I sure you know that one.
I have found that there are a few things that
really work well.

a. Read all the labels before you buy it. If you
see high fructose corn syrup don’t buy it.
b. If it’s pastoralized take it out of your
diet. Dairy products will make you fat.
c. Most of the wheat in the USA and Canada is
GMO. Forget it! They are not going to keep you
slim or healthy. Not only will you keep stacking
on pounds your health maybe in danger.
d. Start detoxing your body on a regular basic.
I do a detox every 3 months for a week or two.
Summer, fall, winter and spring are the best
times. If you haven’t ever detoxed , most likely
you are toxic from the air you breath, the water
you drink and the foods you are eating. I found
the core Restore Program to be one of the best and
easy to do.

e. Begin an exercise program and do it 4 times
a week for 90 days. I have found that the internal
exercises work wonders on balancing the mind and
the body. Yoga, Tai chi and Qi Gong keep you
strong and flexible in body, mind and spirit.
Start off with the Flying Crane Qi Gong it’s easy
to learn and will open up the hand centers in
weeks, and you will feel the Qi

Loose belly Fat

If you have a Big Belly you are at high risk of
heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain
cancers. Look around you! Men and woman between
ages 50 and 80 look like they have a watermelon
under their shirt. Belly fat is the worst and
carries two kinds of ugly fat.

1. Subcutaneous fat- found beneath the outermost
layer of skin and is the protective wrap over the
body’s surface. It’s fat that can be measured
using body fat calipers, which provide a rough
estimate of total body adiposity. Subcutaneous
fat, which also is carried in the hips, thighs,
arms and legs, may be unwanted, but it’s not
particularly dangerous.

2. Visceral fat-also known as organ fat located
between the organs and contributes to dangerous
belly fat. It’s composed of several adipose
depots, which may contribute to insulin
resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia,
hypertension and coronary artery disease. Several
studies have linked visceral fat to elevated
triglycerides levels as well. Visceral, or belly,
fat is hazardous to your health. Studies have
shown a link between a large waist and a higher
risk of death — even among people who aren’t
overweight. In fact, researchers now say your
waist size, which generally reflects the amount of
visceral fat you carry, may be a better predictor
of disease than your body mass index.
Here are a few tips to get rid of your belly and
maybe save your life:

· Walk 2 to 5 miles a day (at a fast pace
and some of the time I walk backwards)

· Take carbonated beverages out of your diet

· Eat 2 to 3 servings of green vegetables a
day

· Start doing internal exercises like Qi
Gong, Tai Chi and Yoga to strengthen your internal
organs

If you are overweight it could be more dangerous
than you think, but like real estate, “It’s
location, location, location that really matters.”
If that fat, is around your midsection you are
headed for health problems sooner than you think.

Until recently, scientists thought fat cells were
simply storage units for excess calories. But
researchers now consider belly fat an active
organ. Belly fat actually hides hormones and
lipids such as triglycerides that are harmful to
the body.

It impairs the body’s ability to use insulin,
increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and it
triggers the inflammation that can cause heart
disease.

A Fat belly may cause colon cancer. This
dangerous fat is associated with a higher risk of
rectal, pancreatic, endometrial and postmenopausal
breast cancer.
Recent studies also have linked belly fat to poor
brain health.

So how do you lose belly fat? Experts say there
is no magic formula, but it can be done, and it’s
not as difficult as you might think. When you use
the classic combination of diet and exercise,
belly fat often goes away first.

“If you do external exercises, you have
to do internal exercises, but if you do internal
exercises you don’t have to do external exercises”.

I train everyday and achieve my goals of perfect
weight and lots of energy. My secret is the
Recharging Qi Gong program.
