"How I Safely Lost 15 Pounds
In 30 Days
With Zero Stress, Struggle, Or Sacrifice
—And How You Can, Too!"
(Not That You Should, But Here's How You Could)
- Part 1 of 2 Parts -
As a professional weight loss success coach, I'd like to share with you my own "insider secrets" about food and nutrition, acquired over several decades of close observation. Do I always follow my own guidelines? Nope. But when I do, the results speak for themselves. I'm 5'9" tall and weight on average 158 lbs.
By the way, I am now 59 years old. So if you are struggling with weight loss, don't blame it on your metabolism "slowing down." Your metabolism didn't slow down. YOU slowed down, and your metabolism just followed.
Anyway, my weight is usually pretty stable, varying over the past 30 years from a high of 167 to a low of 152. I like it around 157. Why is my weight so stable? It's not genetic, I assure you. Both of my sisters have had significant weight gains (and losses) in their lives. For me, the key is moderation in food and exercise.
But the real "root cause" that underlies what I (and you) weigh involves the Top Four Success Factors. There's simply no way around it. (NOTE – This is a reference to material found in the Weight Loss God's Way Success System manual. You don't need it to benefit from this article.)
Of course, my weight was pretty steady long before I knew about the Success Factors. But only after I discovered them did I understand why—because I have no self-sabotaging beliefs or attitudes that affect my weight.
How I Succeed Where 96% Of America Fails
I am especially tuned in to Success Factor Two: Self-Image (or Self-Concept).
I have a mental image of Frank as he was at age 30, in essentially perfect
shape. Now, at twice that age, if I look in the mirror and see something
that's much different, it bugs the heck out of me. It's simply not OK
for me to let my body deteriorate. So I do whatever I need to do to keep
my body in shape.
Now, of course, some people (and some clients) worry that it's "vain" or "unspiritual" to be concerned about the shape of your body. But I don't worry! I understand that God gave each of us a wonderful gift called our body—our vehicle to get around in this life—and that it's our personal responsibility to take care of it.
If God gave you a car, would you take care of it? You'd better believe you would! And you'd be real clear about why. So how come we don't take care of this other "vehicle" He gave us, which is so infinitely more precious and valuable?
I recently found that my weight had "crept" up to 165. Anything over 160 is really not OK with me, but 165 is a number that triggers action. So I did what I always do if that happens. I made changes in my diet that would get me back where I wanted to be. 30 days later, there I was at 150—and I felt great! (It's really nice to lie on your back and feel a bit of a "hollow" where the stomach bulge used to be, and to see that the "spare tire" had the air let out of it :-)
Did any of this feel like a sacrifice, like I was giving something up
or depriving myself in some way? Heck no! That's because my rewards don't
come from cramming my face full of food, but from being fit and healthy,
from doing what I promised myself I'd do—from being where God wants
me to be, and where I want me to be, not where the enemy wants me to be!
What I Eat
Over the years I have studied diet and nutrition in great detail. I have
found that the very best source of nutrition is what I call "one-ingredient"
foods. Those are foods that, well, have only one ingredient in their name:
apple, orange, steak, egg, peach, pork chop, peanut, tuna, celery, lettuce,
tomato, carrot, cantaloupe, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, kale...and
water! In fact, I just described about 80% of my diet.
Note that these are whole foods and are also unprocessed except for minimal cooking. I think some people would call that a "cave man" diet. Maybe so. But it sure beats the heck out of what most people are eating.
My theory is that, if I couldn't have eaten it 5000 years ago, I probably shouldn't be eating it today. (I make and exception for the peanut, of course, and the Red Delicious apple—which didn't exist until about 1950!)
I also allow myself bread (whole grain and usually toasted) and typically have a "PB&J" sandwich for breakfast, except that the "PB" is all natural and the "J" is some kind of "all fruit" with no sucrose added. I'll tell you, it's tasty! It goes down easy and digests very well. And I should also point out that I NEVER get heartburn, though it plagued me for decades when I was younger.
