 From a size 22 to a size 10
69 lbs lost and 5 dress sizes down!
When I started with Thin & Healthy's Total Solution I think I was at the lowest point in my life. I was 219 pound and wore a size 22 dress, almost ready for a 24. A year earlier, I tried the pills that prevented fat absorption, but with the side effect and the high price stopped using it. My doctor had found I had high peptides, a pre-cursor to diabetes, with sugar levels on the high side of normal. I would get irritable, shaky and nauseated if I didn't eat. I was constantly tired, my husband and I had started martial arts classes some months before and I had trouble keeping up. I work on my feet approximately half to two thirds of the time during the day, which caused my legs to ache.
I heard about Thin&Healthy's Total Solution on the radio and asked my husband what he thought. My doctor had told me to lower my peptides along with my chances of getting diabetes that I needed to lose weight. But because I had high peptides, it could prevent weight loss. I just couldn't believe the claims on the radio and didn't think anyone could help me lose the weight, but I called and set up a consultation. I took my husband, a natural skeptic, with me. We both were impressed with what we heard and signed up that day. After starting with Thin&Healthy's Total Solution, my father was diagnosed with diabetes, a bigger reason for me to lose weight.
I have never looked back since signing up; it was money well spent. I thought I had been eating healthy, but wasn't. I've learned how to eat better and shop for groceries. I actually eat more food than I did before. I was losing about 8 to 10 pounds a month! Now I've lost over 69 pounds and I went from a 22 to a 10!
I have been maintaining my weight for several years now. I feel great! My legs don't ache, I sleep better, and I have more energy. I even received an award for "Most improved student" in my martial arts class. My decision to lose weight and doing it has been a life change. I'll never go back to the way I was. I refuse to!

| Weight Loss Hint--One Thing You Should Never Do While Driving |
|
Eating in the car can become a bad habit very quickly. Your waist will count it as a meal but your brain won't and you'll actually be training yourself to eat whenever you are behind the wheel! It's kind of like people who smoke want a cigarette every time they have a drink...it's easy to get used to food every time you are on the road.

Nutrition Hint--Avoid Metabolism Slow Down By NOT Doing This... |
|
Is it true that if I skip meals and really restrict my food intake I will slow my metabolism down?
Yep, It's true which is why starvation diets don't work!
Anytime a person drops below 1200 calories a day the body shows signs of a slower basal metabolism according to Steven Aldana, Ph.D., professor of lifestyle medicine in Brigham Young University's Department of Exercise Sciences in Provo, Utah
As soon as you cut calories significantly, your not the same person metabolically. The best plan for weight loss is one that incorporates real foods, doesn't cut out any particular food groups and is something you can follow as a lifestyle-not a quick fix

| Metabolism Retraining Hint--How To Become Strong By Gabe Mirkin, M.D. |
|
Would you like to become stronger? Pick 6 to 10 weight-machine exercises and do them in three sessions a week. In each exercise, try to lift the heaviest weight that you can lift comfortably ten times in a row without hurting yourself. When an exercise becomes easy, increase the weight. In five months, you should be able to increase your strength significantly and be proud of your larger muscles.
You now decide that you want to become even stronger. Would you increase your strength more by increasing the number of repetitions or by increasing the weight that you lift? For example, should you try to do three sets of ten for each exercise or stay at one set of ten, just try to lift a heavier weight once a week? Dr. Michael Pollock of the University of Florida in Gainesville divided recreational weight lifters into two groups. In one group, they tried to do three sets of 10 three times a week. In the other group, they did just one set of 10 three times a week, but tried to lift progressively heavier weights. Those who did one set of ten with heavier weights three times week were stronger than those who did three sets of ten without increasing the weight.
Exercise does not make you stronger. If it did, marathon runners would have the largest muscles of all athletes. The single stimulus to make muscles larger and stronger is to stretch them while they contract. When you try to lift a heavy weight, your muscles stretch before the weight starts to move. The greater the stretch, the greater the damage to the muscle fibers and when they heal after a few days, the greater the gain in strength. The results for this study give a clear message. You become stronger by lifting heavier weights, not by exercising more. If you do too much work, you can't lift very heavy weights and you do not become stronger. When it comes to becoming very strong, less may be more. | |
