4 cups water
1½ tsp. chopped ginger root
1 tbs. sunflower oil
½ tsp. fresh garlic – chopped

I am a new Man!

I started it on January 13th, 2008. I finished it on 16 June 2008 and lost a total of 25 kg from obese to normal bmi in 22 weeks. I've been finished the programme now for over 14 months and today I weigh around 2kg more than my finish weight and fluctuate between my finish weight and +2.5 kg.

Hi Sunday:
please post the link you were referring to?
need to get back into good health fast.

I don't have a lot of weight to throw around here because I've never been overweight. I'm a farmboy, so my childhood was full of a lot of raw milk and cream and breakfasts of champions (two fried eggs straight from the chook house, a tonne of butter, bacon and fried bread with lard), pickles, conserves, chutney and seasonal access to the best blackberry patch in the world.

The first thing you should do though, is find out what type of metabolism you have. Jumping onto a diet that your body is not set up to thrive on is a sure recipe for failure. The bottom line is: Don't fight your body, go with it.

Beyond that try "Raw food," "Sequential eating," "Specific Carbohydrate Diet," and try to get the idea that fat is bad for you completely out of your head. Your brain is packed with lipids(fats), as is the rest of your organs if they are healthy. Fat is not the enemy.

I have to disagree with the fasting line. It is true that fasting will slow down weight loss in the short term, no contention. However it is also true that a bicyclist slows down when he changes gears, but the end result is that he moves faster.

I personally fast around 18 hours a day. Most people naturally fast ten hours if they have breakfast and get a good nights sleep. I eat my food sequentially in the morning with the aim of digesting and hopefully voiding before I go to sleep. This removes a large hormonal strain on the body and also focuses awareness on removing putrefying waste matter from the colon in a timely matter.

Fasting is practised incorrectly by most people. It is common for a person to eat his last meal with little care and then go cold turkey for several days. The result is that with no fibre moving through the digestive system his last meal becomes a toxic source of headaches and enervation in his colon for the duration.

Anyone curious as to why he should literally get shit out of his body as quickly as possible should read "The prolongation of life" by Elie Metchnikoff. Published around 1930, so it is available free around the internet as a pdf.

SWK

I would love to hear more, as I am male, 49 yrs old, been a diabetic since early 30's, 183 lbs, 5' 11", my doctor say i should be around 165 lbs. work in the F&B industry, want to push myself to get off the drug dependents, and live a healthier life

[sundaymorningstaple]

SWK, having been formerly obese, and having been down both roads, I have now maintained my new weight coming up on two years now. I've never fasted and my health is still as good as it was when I finished my programme. From the way I see it, it's 25 kg gone for good and added about 20 years probably to my life (now can go till I'm 155 according to V.). So, I'll just agree to disagree. Fasting may work but I do not think it's healthy in the long term. Been there, done that. (going long 10-18 hours stretches is what got me obese in the first place)

I knew we would SMS.

@shalamazoo: I'm no evangelist and I wouldn't dare try to tell you how your body works. From the fact that you are in F&B I'd say that you probably just don't have enough time to look after number one. At the end of the day the best suggestion I can make is for you to try everything as scientifically as you can and keep a diary.

[ksanty]

I believe I now have anough posts to PM SMS. Yay!
