Diet Update And Candida Cleanse Info

I was doing a week long water and lemon juce fast the last time I posted.  It’s time to get up-to-date on my eating plans.
After that fast, I switched back to the “single item” eating plan.  I ate as much of a single fruit as I wanted for breakfast, a single vegetable for lunch and […]

The Problem With Exercise

Have you ever read the book 1984 by George Orwell?  It tells a story about a goverment who controlled it’s people by changing the very language they spoke.
I deal with that problem as it exists in today’s world quite a bit on my financial success blog and in other places.  The meanings that people give […]

No Longer Obese And Some Thoughts About Exercise

I’ve hit a milestone in the weight loss project.  I’m no longer “obese” by many charts.  I’m merely “overweight.”
I’m also at the halfway mark to “normal weight.”
It’s been less than four months since I started this project.  I would say that the plan is working and working extremely well.  I’m pleased with the results.
The plan […]

Why I’m Not A Vegetarian

First of all, I would like to say that I have a strong respect for those who choose a vegetarian lifestyle.  I always ask them if their choice was religious, health and/or a desire to not kill animals.
I am always interested in their answer and I have a deep feeling of admiration for anyone who […]

Fasting

I ended the “single item” eating plan yesterday.
This week, I will be fasting and doing a candida cleanse.
The candida cleanse will actually continue for the next four weeks in some form or another.   For this week and next week, I will be consuming oregano oil (10 drops or so per day in gel caps) to […]

Minerals

Awhile back, I wrote an article about how to get all of the major vitamins from real food sources… with each real food source being only about a tablespoon. 
The net result was something that was almost as convenient as taking a vitamin pill, but probably much more effective since the vitamins were in their natural […]

Body Fat Percentage

Many have asked me how I’m measuring body fat percentage.  I use this scale:
http://www.amazon.com/Tanita-Body-Water-Percentage-Monitor/dp/B000IXXCDG/
It is more important to watch your body fat percentage when losing weight than it is to watch your actual weight.
This is because your body naturally stays slimmer if you have a higher percentage of lean mass.  Muscle causes a higher metabolism […]

Dr. Natura Update

At least one blog reader claimed that the four foot long sausage casings expelled as a result of using the Dr. Natura program was simply the psylium husks that were being injested during the program.
I found a few problems with that theory:
1. Psylium husks were taken (about 2 grams per day) for the entire first […]
