Weight Loss:

Our population is becoming more and more overweight. There is no racial, age or socio-economic boundaries with obesity. People are consuming more calories than their bodies require and exercising less. Heart disease is killing more and more people everyday. It is currently the number one cause of death for females and the second for males. There is a furious search for drugs that will control appetite. There is no magic bullet for weight loss. It requires lifestyle changes, dietary changes and supplements in order to lose pounds. The goal of Dr. Metcalfeís plan is to help you learn how to exchange bad habits for good habits that will last a lifetime. She recommends you begin by writing down your current weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, then put that piece of paper somewhere safe. Get a good physical exam if it has been longer than a year. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, then you should get an exercise stress test done before beginning your new exercise program. The goal of this entire program is to make you healthy.

Treatment:

Lifestyle Changes:

Food: food is put on this earth to provide us with nutrients and energy to make our bodies function every day. Early man had to work to get his food, so shall we. We shall eat the most natural, basic foods that taste great and benefit our bodies the most. We will plan to make better food choices at restaurants, grocery stores and at home. We donít skip meals or go too long without eating. We never worry about calories; we just worry about nutritional quality.

Exercise: 30 - 60 minutes before breakfast everyday. If you are new to exercise, start by walking or join a gym, dance class, or buy exercise videos. We want to start each day out right, so get up and get moving. No excuses. Get up one hour earlier, it will be hard at first, but soon your body will get used to the earlier time. Go to bed earlier. Find an exercise buddy or motivate a family member to exercise with you. You’ve got to move your body before any weight is going to come off. You must regiment yourself to do this everyday, after 3 weeks, I guarantee youíll start to feel so much better.

Self-worth: You must believe you are a good person and you deserve the best that life has to offer. By losing weight, your energy will increase and you will try and enjoy new activities and feel more outgoing. People around you will notice the change and respond positively toward the new you, even if the old you was pretty good!

Clean your kitchen cupboards. Begin by removing absolutely every food item from them. Then, since they’re empty, take this opportunity to clean them out! You’re exercising already! Then, take a good look at what you have in front of you. Read the labels. Discard anything that contains more than 30% calories from fat (unless it is that bottle of olive, canola or grapeseed oil). Discard anything that contains white flour. This includes crackers, croutons, cake mixes, cookies, cereals etc. Discard candy, preserved or smoked meats, or anything else that is a problem with your diet.
Now, go shopping. Replace those white flour products with whole grains. Look on those labels and find the ones with the highest fiber content. Look for whole grain cereals with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. Try cereals that need to be cooked, such as oat bran, barley flakes, large flake oatmeal, etc.

Dietary Changes:

Start every morning with a full glass of water and 1 tablet of Ultra Potent C 1000. Now go exercise! Okay, you can have a cup of coffee to wake you up first.

Breakfast: always eat a high protein, high fiber, and low fat breakfast. Take Multiplex I Multivitamin with breakfast.

Goal: 20 grams of protein, 45 grams of carbohydrate, 10 grams of fiber and we don't count fat because we are cooking with a low fat goal in mind.
People who eat more protein at breakfast perform better mentally throughout the day and are more alert.

Recipe ideas:

French toast: 1 whole egg and 5 egg whites, 2 tbsp. of soymilk and two slices of whole grain bread. Mix all ingredients and soak bread in it for 1 minute. Place on medium hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray, pour remaining egg mixture over top of it and cook until firm on both sides. You may use a small amount of syrup or sugar free syrup, but fresh fruit tastes even better.

Scrambled eggs or omelet: 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, pinch of salt and pepper. Beat together; add mushrooms, veggies, low fat ham or low fat cheese and cook. Have 2 slices of whole wheat toast, light on the butter and jam!

Scrambled eggs as above with a bowl of oatmeal with 2 tbsp of added wheat bran, or high fiber cereal.

Other good choices: fat-free, sugar free or low sugar yogurt. Fresh fruit, Oat bran or high fiber cereal.

Mid-morning snack: fresh fruit, yogurt, protein energy bar, and 16 oz of water.

Lunch: Should consist of 25-35 grams of protein, 40-50 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of fiber. Think about what the protein source will be for your meal first. Lunch is easy to get more protein. Try a skinless, boneless chicken breast and make a sandwich with whole grain bread and low fat mayonnaise and vegetables. 1 can of oil free tuna has 35 grams of protein, and this is good in a sandwich or over a green salad with dressing. Try a turkey roll-up with turkey sandwich meat, light cream cheese wrapped in a tortilla with vegetables. Take 2 more capsules of Multiplex I Multiple vitamins with lunch to keep you going through that mid-afternoon slump in energy.

Eating protein keeps you more mentally alert, and the complex carbohydrates give you energy.
Drink 16 oz of water with lunch.
Do not drink fruit juice or soda pop. Try sparkling mineral water or low calorie drinks.

Dinner: This is another meal that is easy to get a larger intake of protein. The goal is 35 grams of protein, 50 grams of carbohydrate, 10 grams of fiber. Try any low fat cut of meat, fish or tofu, and prepare it by broiling, grilling, steaming or sautÈing it. Serve it with 2 types of vegetables. Avoid things like rice, pasta, and bread at dinnertime. If you do have these carbohydrates, limit your serving size to 1 cup or 1 roll. Protein and vegetables are easier to digest without the added starchy carbohydrates. Drink 16 oz of water with dinner.

Don't have desert immediately after dinner, but eat it later in the evening when you are craving a snack. Choose a low calorie desert like a high fiber cereal, fruit, yogurt, low calorie frozen yogurt, etc.
