Dr. Z's
Weight Loss Express
Over the
course of the last 10 years Dr. Z has helped countless patients
with such health problems as candida, hypoglycemia, digestive problems,
allergies, food addictions (especially to carbohydrates). His protocol
nearly always includes drastic dietary changes:
An Atkins
type high protein diet is recommended with the appropriate nutritional
supplements for metabolic support. Absolutely no carbohydrates
for the first two weeks are permitted. In almost all cases this leads
to considerable weight loss with increased sense of well being and
vitality within 3 to 4 weeks on the protocol.
Because of
this often people would come to his office or call to ask for this weight
loss protocol. Inevitably Dr. Z would reply that the person's health and
well being was his primary concern and that weight loss, if any, would
come as a side effect to becoming more healthy and balanced.
As you are
probably aware, many weight loss programs available out there are
outright nonsense and some are truly dangerous to your health because
they are based on false assumption or even total ignorance about the functioning
of the human body. Many lead to an initial weight loss, often through
starvation. After getting off the program there is a typical rebound effect:
You end up gaining more weight than you had before. Unfortunately often
more serious health consequences follow.
Dr. Z has
derived the inspiration for his successful work from various sources over
the last 10 years. Here are some that come to mind immediately:
- The
work of Dr. Atkins and his "New Diet Revolution"
- Joan
Matthew Larson, Ph.D.: "Seven Weeks to Sobriety - The
Proven Program to fight Alcoholism through Nutrition"
- T.S.
Wiley with Bent Formby, Ph.D.: "Lights
Out - Sleep, Sugar and Survival"
- Dieter
Markert: "The Turbo-Protein Diet "
The
Problem
Our lives
have changed drastically over the last 100 years
- We used
to have to work hard for a living
- We used
to go to bed when it got dark outside
- We used
to live by actual seasons
- Summer
and fall was the time of harvest, the time of plenty
- Fruits
were rare past harvest time
- Summer
and fall was the time to put on fat in preparation of winter (high
carbohydrates)
- Winter
and spring was the time of less food (hibernation)
- Meats
and roots and some stored grain was winter staple food
- Sugar
and fruits were rare treats
Now
- We are
leading more and more sedentary life styles (jobs, TV, etc.).
Our muscles don't burn the energy they used to. Excess carbohydrates
are deposited as fat. You gain weight!
- With the
advent of electricity we have created permanent daylight
which disrupt our normal cyclical hormone pattern. Food (carbohydrate)
cravings in the evening follow. Couch potatoes tend to nibble
on carbohydrate snacks (chips, pretzels, cookies,etc.) Excess
carbohydrates are deposited as fat. You gain
weight!
- We tend
to live with no real sense of seasons (as to how they used to
affect our lives)
- With modern
modes of transport we have created constant harvest time
- We don't
harvest, we just go to the grocery store
- All fruits
and vegetables are always available, any time of the year
- Constant
availability of carbohydrates leads to increasing fat deposits.
You gain weight!
- Winter
and spring is just like any time: it is harvest time
- Winter
food is high carbohydrate diet, spring food is high carbohydrate
diet, summer food is high carbohydrate diet, fall food
is high carbohydrate diet. You gain weight
all year round!
- Sugar
is everywhere and in everything. Excess blood sugar is deposited
as fat. You gain weight!
