People have this idea that they are weak willed and that’s just the way they are. Working with tens of thousands of people, I have found that if a person is on the CORRECT program for their body type they WILL get results. However, when creating health, there can be a delay in noticing actual weight loss results. You first will get feedback in improved energy, fewer cravings and feeling better overall.

Many people can lose weight for a few weeks then stop losing. Let me explain exactly what is happening. But first, I need to tell you that exercise does NOT burn fat. It only triggers several hormones that in turn use fat as energy. However, if you study endocrinology texts, you will notice two terms used over and over again—”exhaustive exercise” and “intense exercise.” Fat-burning hormones are ONLY triggered to any significant degree by INTENSITY. Intensity means “an extreme degree of anything.”

There are several areas I look at with really tough cases. First, I find out when they were at their ideal weight and isolate what occurred just prior to that. This could be some low-calorie diet, an injury, pregnancy, infection or some stress. I also want to know if they are consuming enough leafy greens and whether these are raw or cooked. Inevitably, they are either overcooked or of poor quality. I then see if hidden sugars are in the diet, and the person usually has no idea that vanilla yogurt contains tons of sugar, as do most juices. I check for refined carbohydrates, such as breads and pasta. I make sure that they are not having ANY wine, as alcohol irritates the liver, which prevents fat burning. One drink before bed will block weight loss for 1 to 4 days.

One the biggest misconceptions spread about weight loss is that “obesity is a disease” and has “risk factors.” Obesity is a symptom, not a cause, of an unhealthy body. The fat is not directly responsible for the problems of an overweight person; it’s their unhealthy body, which created the fat in the first place, that is creating health risks. You cannot be healthy and fat at the same time. Obesity is a severe out-of-balance state. The drug companies would like you to think that obesity is a disease, an epidemic that needs to be treated with a drug.

For anyone who is having difficulty losing weight, the educational step is the missing link.

For instance, if you were to read only about Liver Enhancement in my book The 7 Principles of Fat Burning and then expect to stick to that, it just wouldn’t work. This is what everyone else and nearly every diet book currently on the market is doing—only telling people what diet to follow. To be successful, you HAVE to educate yourself; you have to shift your way at looking at weight loss; you need to be given the correct information, and you have to get rid of the false information.

If you haven’t already noticed, people tend to accumulate weight in four different ways:

• around the belly (lower sagging)
• around the belly (higher roll)
• around the hips (saddlebags)
• around the entire body equally

In this article, I’d like to give you some insights into these different body shapes.

I get lots of questions on exactly what the endocrine system is and how it works; so, in this letter, I’d like to cover this.

The body has two main coordination systems. Coordination just means getting things aligned and working together. The first is the nervous system and the second is the endocrine system.

The nervous system carries information fast, at roughly 280 mph. Think of it as a network of telephone wires that go through an area.

Did you know that consuming only 1½ cups of cruciferous vegetables per week can reduce cancer risk by 41 percent? There is good evidence that the cruciferous vegetable family has potent anticancer and cancer prevention properties. This family of foods also has been shown to balance estrogens in the body, promoting hormonal health. Cruciferous vegetables have natural plant chemicals, called phytochemicals, which assist the liver in its normal detoxification process. These foods are high in potassium and low in sodium too.

Here’s some important information on potassium and sodium.

There is a big push to lower sodium in the diet in order to lower blood pressure. But what’s almost always missed is a discussion of potassium. Since an excess of sodium always means a deficiency of potassium, let’s take a closer look at the other mineral—potassium.

All the fat on your body has to go through the liver to come out. This is why we do the Liver Enhancement as a first action. Very important!

If you just focused on healing your liver, you would lose so much fat it wouldn’t be funny. Do you have a goal to lose weight? Instead, switch your goal to creating a healthy liver—you’ll end up with faster weight loss. Weight is just the symptom.
