are you fat - forget heavy exercise - it's a con job.

Simple. Stop eating produce that has wheat as an ingredient. Don't need to do anything else.just be very disciplined in sticking to zero wheat products.

Bullshiit and plenty of it.

After lots of trialing of foods recommended by dr eric berg(youtube) -

dr berg mentions these foods

large red/green salads (little bitter) for potassium content - stops sugar cravings. I think it also gives you micro nutrients and amino acids.
oils/butter - society has made these villains but its a lie. we need oil to take the vitamins out of salads.
seeds. nuts.
fish and meat - more fish than meat.
offal - i get lambs liver once a week - big pack costs under £1.50. nutrients in it.
kefir - a weird homemade fizzy yogurt. i actually eat this. from snickers to kefir?
cheese if your stomach can handle it - in salads. i miss this.
eggs. two a day.
no large slabs of meat - small palm size portions - activates fat burning hormone. fish better.
organic cider vinegar. vitamin c source. just as a dressing ingrediant.
lime juice/lemon juice - vitamin c. two capfuls in water a day.
bought calcium citrate for bones. calcium depletion a real worry.Calcium carbonate to be avoided... it's a risk.
peanut butter - i would eat the jar so i dropped this. but at the start it helps you over the hump.
pink salt - iodine and 80 micro nutrients. snapped up half a dozen in the poundshop. expensive stuff at £4. i got at pound.

avoid fruit - loaded with sugar - once a week maybe.

today i'm having tinned mackarel/sunflower oil and salad with seeds thrown in. later i'm eating mashed potato over a salad with a small amount of shredded meat in it. I will maybe eat again a snack of seeds and coconut oil salt.pepper and vinegar.

watch dr berg's acid alkaline diet video - its a good place to start - forget calories. bbc is pounding it out today. spend some time getting the gist of the reasons for eating healthy. don't buy the pills he's offering. American's are always selling something. micro nutrients. he explains its a diet about health not losing weight - i agree on that.

if you try it and drop off the wagon. just get back on it later. I had a massive spell of seven months on it then jumped ship at Christmas. started again at end of January. two weeks in you find yourself in the shops looking at pizza and chocolate like it doesn't exist - weird. no more white man's poison.

but watch out - although all your muscles start to bulge, like the hulk in transformation. inside another equally weirdness is happening. keep an eye on it. i'm very wary about this diet - it works too well. Your body 's bacteria loves sugar. by avoiding it you are travelling back in time. Like a paleo diet. you might not be able to go back to the 21st century diet.

positives - your pancreas takes a break, you firm up, you lose weight, your flexibilty increases.
negatives - calcium a real issue. i can't eat dairy or bakery goods anymore. I don't know if this is down to the diet, no proof but i'm very suspicious about it.

i bought vitamins from poundshop - but i seek out strange foods with micro nutrients when i can. spinach(raw) celery,turnip,turmeric,tyme, oats.
you end up turning into a health nut.

i figure this or a variant is what the movie stars use to get shredded for the action hero parts.

this is a weird diet - a double edged sword. once i reach my target weight i'm off it. it is scary.

this diet - restores will power. cravings are banished. because the body gets potassium. you crave sugar because your body thinks it will get the potassium from it. If you were a fruitarian you'd get the potassium naturally. but the sugar content hits your pancreas. the large amount of bitter salad with purple leaves gives you that potassium.

will power is a fleeting thing. refined foods are going to nacker you eventually. Diabetes and weight issues.

i do need a diet that works - this does it - i'm not making a penny by sharing. I'm amazed - there's no whey powders at £20 a tub. no high expense. i've lost four stone. i'll reach five by june. this is not a failing diet - its a lifestyle change. it introduces you to nutrients. to another way of eating. calories are irrelevant. if a food is suspicious... in a wrapper dont eat it.

I find it odd how most 'experts' tell us exercise leads to weight loss.

I used to believe it but not anymore. Exercise/hard physical work in my experience tones muscle, makes one fitter and more efficient at using available calories thus leading to LESS burning of calories and weight GAIN.

If you don't exercise at all then do some, it must help for a while I guess.

Interested about giving up wheat FACTS. What have you replced it with?[/i]




zorro's post of 16.21  details it

Trust me if you don't eat you will lose weight. You don't need to over complicate it messing about. Just eat less. Exercise will accelerate the weight loss.

For a very simple reason Baron. Most people did manual work of one form or another. It's why the recommended calorific intake for men used to be 3000.

That and the fact that virtually everybody ate home cooked food and not the processed rubbish containing loads of crap especially sugar which passes for many peoples meals these days.

baron - how many pizza leaflets came thru your door in the eighties. chocolate proliferated more in the seventies. Coca cola wasn't as huge as it is today. Convenience food has exploded. MacDonald frys has nearly twenty ingredients. its potato and oil you need? nothing else. We have departed from real food. Adulteration is what the food companies do. making food stretch for profits. your mom if she makes homemade burgers makes big ass chunky burgers. MacDonald's makes a skinny suspicious burger. Its tasty but you know its not nutrition.
