Weight Loss Marathon

Weight Loss Marathon

Losing weight and keeping it off is not a sprint but a marathon…  I know what your thinking, is the coach getting ready to tell me now I have to run a marathon to lose this un-wanted fat…  Relax…  My comment has nothing to do with becoming a marathon runner, but developing a marathon lifestyle…

We all know a marathon refers to a distance of twenty-six miles in a road race…  Even if you are not a runner you have become familiar with this term, because marathon events now take place all over the world…  But did you know where this concept originated?

Pull up a chair and let me share with you a history lesson I think you will find quite interesting…  More than twenty-five hundred years ago in the year 490 B.C. a famous battle took place between Persia a world power at the time and the small country state of Athens…  Persia was expanding its empire and imposing its will on weaker size countries to surrender or be conquered…  Greece at this time was an un-unified country made up of independent states, the two most powerful were Athens and Sparta…

The Athenians refuse to be conquered by the evil power Persians and a battle takes place twenty-six miles outside of Athens, in a place called Marathon…  During the battle of Marathon the out-numbered Athenian army defeat the Persians and stop the invasion of Athens… After the victory a messenger runner named Pheidippides is sent to Athens to reassure the Athenians the city has been saved…  Pheidippides must travel the twenty-six miles over very challenging terrain to bring the good news…  He makes the journey non-stop, quite a human feat and collapses and dies after delivering the victorious message…

So the legend of Marathon, over coming great odds and the human spirit empowering the human body to great feats of accomplishments had begun…  History has a way of repeating itself even to this day…  In America in the month of April 2013, evil once again tried to impose its will in the city of Boston during a marathon…  Once again the human spirit of man was tested, would it run from evil or stand up to it…   Good always over-comes evil and what was meant to terrify, united the people of Boston and around the world…  The marathon spirit of man did not run from the bombing, but ran into it…  Great feats of courage were witnessed and will go down in history…

So what does my story of Marathon have to do with the battle of losing weight?  Everything, you see an enemy has infiltrated our borders costing the lives of thousands of America citizens each year and bankrupting our great country…  As we unmask this villain its identity is obesity, and it will take the rising up of the human spirit to defeat it…

Most marathon runners will tell you winning the race was not their goal, but the challenge to complete the race is what inspired them…  The same is true in the race of losing weight and keeping it off…  To complete the race the challenge to develop a healthy lifestyle living within our hormonal design is essential…  A sprinters mentality will fall by the wayside…  It will take the endurance and persistence of the human spirit to over-come the trials of human nature to finish the race…  There are no magical foods or supplements to turn this marathon event into a sprint…  The magic is in the human spirit willingness to change… 

If you need to lose weight its time to learn from history and take control of destiny…  Put down the sprinters mentality of dieting, and challenge yourself to a marathon lifestyle of healthy nutrition and life-long healthy behavior… 

I challenge all who read my story of marathon to 12 weeks of eating the right foods, in portioned amounts at least four times per day…  There will be trials along the way of old behavior tempting you to give up or give in…  Learn from history as we face our enemy instead of running from it you will win the battle and never have to go on a diet again…

Generation Curse Being Overweight Broken

Generation Curse Being Overweight Broken

We have all heard the saying, “the apple does not fall far from the tree”, or “like mother, like daughter”…  The meaning implies the offspring of the parent will develop similar behavior patterns and character traits in the child…  Does this meaning hold true if the parent is overweight; the child will most likely be overweight as well?

Recent studies show if the mom is overweight, she is 10 times more likely to have an overweight daughter…  If the dad is overweight, he is 6 times more likely to have an overweight son…  The debate whether obesity in children and adolescents origin is genetic or behavioral seems to have been answered over the last twenty years…

Childhood and adolescent obesity in America has risen dramatically in the past two decades, but there has been no significant change in the genetic pool…  Studies support being overweight or obese is a learned behavior in those genetically prone…  In other words, DNA does not determine your destiny…  Genes are the ink, but the script is still written by patterns of behavior… 

I was born into the generational curse of being overweight…  At birth I weighed a colossal 15 lbs to an overweight mom, who throughout her lifetime would develop diabetes and die of a heart attack at the young age of only 67 years old…  However my mom’s fate would not genetically seal mine, and the curse was broken…  In fact my life has been used to break the generational curse in thousands of homes…

This is one recent amazing story of the curse being broken…  It is late on a Sunday afternoon and I am just finishing my workout, as I wipe my brow; there is a tap on my shoulder…  As I turn it is Jim, a former client I worked with 20 years ago…  He said, “I need your help”…  He looked great and he and his wife Linda have kept the weight off for almost two decades… So what help did he need if everything was going well?  The curse of being overweight had its grasp on his 14-year old grandson Devin…  Jim said, “I want to introduce you to my grandson, I know you can help him”…

In just three weeks of working together Devin went from 231 lbs to 212 lbs, but what was even more amazing his body fat percentage went from 38% to just 28%…  Devin’s muscle weight had gone up 10 lbs as his body fat went down 29 lbs…  The curse was broken, and in just three short weeks…

There is wisdom in the bible, which says; you will know the health of a tree by its fruit…  It says, every good tree produces good fruit (Matthew 7:17)…  Many times an overweight potential client comes thinking their weight condition is only physical (bad fruit), but the problem is behavioral the health of the tree…

So what is the health of your tree? If your overweight it is time to plant a new healthy tree, especially if you are a mom or dad…  Its true the apple does not fall far from the tree…  May the curse of being overweight be broken and may it begin in you…

What Weight Loss Industry Does Not Want YOU To Know

“THE FAT LOSS COACH” KNOWS WHAT THE 40 BILLION DOLLAR WEIGHT LOSS INDUSTRY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

Obesity in this country has little to do with over-eating or exercise, according to Charles Remington, “The Fat Loss Coach.”

During a recent television interview (http://landing.newsinc.com/shared/video.html?freewheel=91060&sitesection=wtic_Stn_590&VID=24679278), show host Stan Simpson started the program by asserting that in America, we are eating too much and working out too little. No news there, right?

But then he turned to Remington, his guest, who promptly refuted Simpson’s assertion.  “Most people I meet eat too little, and their weight problem has little to do with exercise,” Remington said.

He went on to cite an NBC Today show report in January that was “shocking” to him: the number of women reported who were following some type of diet were down from 34% in 1995, to only 21% today.

Had Americans over this period of time solved their great battle with weight? Well, unfortunately that statement could not be any further from the truth. So what did NBC report as the reason for the drop? The answer: a RELAXED attitude toward size. The commentary made it sound as if Americans were slowly giving up and just accepting getting larger.

So The Fat Loss Coach offered Simpson, the Fox host, a challenge. He said, “I will prove to you, as I have to thousands of clients, that I can solve your battle of the bulge. Follow my breakthrough Fat Loss concept for 12 weeks. You’ll lose 2-3 lbs of fat weekly, without losing muscle or being tired or hungry. You will NEVER have to go on a diet again.”

Simpson took the challenge and the 12-week Fat Loss challenge began…

And it worked!

After just 10 days, the Fox host invited Remington back on his show, because Stan had lost 6 lbs of fat, double what the coach had promised. Now Simpson and Remington challenged the audience to the 12-week Fat Loss challenge…

What is Remington’s “discovery?”

So what has Remington discovered, which the 40-50 billion dollar weight loss industry would not want you to know?

It’s not a diet, or a magical supplement, because “the magic is inside you,” he says. He will teach you a healthy new way to approach weight issues, a method which dramatically targets the un-wanted fat and fits it to your lifestyle, so you will never need or want to diet again.

Remington believes ending obesity is beyond the help of just a diet, or the solution is simply to lose weight.  He points out many Americans now live outside their hormonal design. Reducing calories alone is not enough and why most diets fail.

A customized plan that works “with” your body

Remington’s breakthrough concept custom fits his unique three-day “glyco-cycle” discovery, which stabilizes blood sugar and works within the body’s hormone design and not against it… The result you control turning off fat storing hormones and turning on fat burning ones.

Are you ready for the challenge? Remington has proven it to thousands one body at a time… There is NO BETTER body to prove it to next than yours…

Herculean Weight Loss

Herculean Weight Loss

 

As a young boy I had a strong fascination for Greek mythology…  Ancient history was one of my favorite subjects in school…  Of all the legends or myths, the one I most identified with were the adventures of Hercules…  Those of you who know Greek mythology are aware; Hercules was the son of Zeus and was half man, half god…  I must have watched every one of Hollywood’s reenactments of Hercules staring Steve Reeves more times than I can even remember…

 

This strong interest in Hercules, would place my feet on the journey of developing my strong physical body, but more importantly my knowledge of how the human body responds to nutrition and exercise…  The passion for this knowledge would have me spending countless hours of research and endless hours in the gym, long after every-one else had left…

 

Though the history of what I accomplished with my body is not ancient, the basement full of trophies and titles are a distant memory and the dust they collect make them appear as if they were a part of the Greek ruins…  However the passion for the knowledge and more importantly desire to share the knowledge burns brighter than ever…

 

Throughout my life I have had several wonderful dog companions… I usually gave them Greek names; one was called Thea and of course another called Hercules…  During the trials and tribulations of life I never heard from Zeus and Hercules never showed up in my time of need…  Why, because they never really existed, which is why we call them myths…  However the real creator God would speak to me, and his son Jesus showed up every time I called upon his name…

 

On one occasion my dog Hercules had lost his life through circumstances outside of my control…  I was very sad and as I spoke to God I expressed my sadness saying, “I miss my Hercules”…  God’s response back would change my life…  He said, “Hercules was not your dog”…  I was puzzled, I responded, “Whose dog was he”…  He answered, “ Hercules was mine, I allowed you to have him”…  Now came the life changing part, God asked did you take care of Hercules like he belonged to you or me”?  Well my answer quickly changed my focus…  I now have two dogs and they no longer receive Greek names, they have biblical names Shiloh and Cyrus…  Why? They do not belong to me, but to God and he allows me the privilege to take care of them for him…  I have never loved dogs more or enjoyed their companionship more…

 

So what does my story of Hercules have to do with helping clients lose weight?  To better explain the fire, which burns so brightly inside me and seems as I age to burn even hotter…  The words I shared with you were not audible and Hollywood will never

create them into an epic movie… It’s the voice within my spirit, because that is where I believe the Spirit of God dwells…  If Hercules did not belong to me, then the body I live in does not as well, it belongs to God…  He has allowed me to enjoy decades of wonderful health and I intend to take care of this body as if the king owned it…

 

Now I ask you this question?  Have you been taking care of your weight and health like it belongs to you or God…  Get really quiet and still when you ask, and I believe you will hear something as well…

Apple A Day Weight Loss

Apple A Day Weight Loss

Growing up my old world Italian mom would say, “ A apple a day keeps the doctor away”…  Your mom maybe was saying it too…  Well my mom was right throughout my life there have been very few doctor visits, and I have eaten what seems like an orchard of apples…  So what did our mom’s know about the health benefits of apples, especially when losing weight?

When meeting new clients, I always emphasize the big picture of healthy lifestyle instead of dieting to lose the un-wanted fat and keep it off…  Apples should be a major player as you focus in your picture of ideal health and weight…

I’ll take you on a journey of the apple’s role in your body on route being leaner and healthier…  First, lets start in the stomach apples, along with other fruits and vegetables are alkaline foods and help balance our PH, or acid, alkaline balance…  Many who are over-weight have dietary habits too high in acid foods coming from animal protein and processed grains…  Over time this leads to acid stomach conditions, like reflux and certain cancers, which thrive in acid environments…

As the partially digested apple moves into the small intestine pectin a soluble fiber in apples becomes a healthy sponge absorbing digestive bile, which will result in the lowering of cholesterol levels and help maintain a healthy gallbladder…  As it moves into the large intestine it assists in forming a healthy stool, preventing conditions like diverticulosis or pockets in the intestines, which can become infected leading to a more serious condition of diverticulitis…

As the nutrients from the apple enter the blood system they provide a beneficial role in the pancreas function…  First the glucose from the apple being low glycemic causes a slow gradual rise in blood sugar, which triggers the beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin sending glucose to muscle, liver, brain and providing stable cellular energy…  This stable insulin response, prevents fat storage and keeps cell membranes from becoming insulin resistance, which leads to type II diabetes…  Second, apples are packed with antioxidant, photo-nutrients called flavonoids, which keep free radical destruction of cells, leading to cancer…  Pancreatic cancer is still one of the least treatable forms of cancer, so lifestyle, which prevents, is far better than treatments, which repair…

Lastly apples play a role in healthy heart and brain function…  Pectin the soluble fiber in apples improves blood flow by reducing cholesterol which reduces plaque buildup and inflammation in artery walls …   This can greatly reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke… Quercetin a flavonoid found in apples prevent free radicals from damaging the outer lining of brain cells, which leads to cognitive decline as in Alzheimer’s disease…

Will eating an apple a day by itself solve your overweight-condition? Are apples the sole solution in maintaining good health?  It would be foolish to think it would…  However as part of a healthy lifestyle incorporating frequency of meals, portioned amounts and quality of foods, nothing is more foundational than an apple to manage blood sugar and hormonal responses leading to a leaner healthier body…  So my mom was right, an apple a day has kept the doctor and added weight away…

Man Or A Mouse Weight Loss

Man Or A Mouse Weight Loss

 

Its Saturday morning early March in the year 1975, and Old Dominion University and Virginia Tech University are preparing to do battle on the baseball diamond…  As a nineteen-year old freshman pitcher for Old Dominion, I expected to spend the day trying to stay warm in the dugout, when all of a sudden it started to very lightly snow…  Being from Massachusetts, I was the only player on the team north of the Mason Dixon line…  Then I heard coach Methaney a former Yankee call out my name, Remington go warm up your our starting pitcher today…  Who me coach, I replied, then he took me aside where no one else could hear and said, ‘are you a man or a mouse”?  The coached figured in this cold weather, I was the right man for the job…  Well the coach was right, that day in March thirty seven years ago my name went into the record books, because I threw a no-hitter against the guys from Tech…  It would be the only no-hitter I would pitch in my college career…  I still remember today those words, are you a man or a mouse…

 

Later that summer of the same year, I would work at Mason Research Center in Worcester MA, where they conducted mainly cancer research and other scientific studies on mice, rabbits and monkeys….  So for over thirty years I have witnessed and followed the scientific breakthroughs discovered in clinical trials working especially with mice…  I both applaud and support their findings in many ground breaking advances in science…

 

 In a recent counseling session I was asked this question…  Coach when you measure my body fat, can you determine how much of it is white fat or brown fat?  I was surprised because it had never been asked before, even after thousands of counseling visits… I replied, “why do you ask”?  The over-weight client said he just finished reading a study about a clinical finding turning white fat into brown fat in mice…  Now you now where I’m going, out of my mouth comes, “ are you a man or a mouse”…

 

So what’s the skinny on white fat and brown fat?  Humans and mice have both white and brown fat…  In the simplest of terms, white fat stores unused energy and has little metabolic activity…  Brown fat is metabolically active and releases energy to keep us warm…  If you are over-weight you have too much white fat and located primarily in middle third of your body…  Brown fat is located in upper back, neck and very little brown fat is found in adults, hence the theory of turning white fat, which is energy storing into brown fat energy burning…

 

White fat can be "browned" with a class of drugs called thiazolidazines (TZDs), which increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. However, TZDs have many adverse effects -- including liver toxicity, bone loss, and, ironically, weight gain -- which have limited the use of these drugs…  I can see the commercials now ten seconds of benefits and twenty seconds of side effects

 

 

The theory behind this discovery is irisin; a hormone found in both mice and human has been able to be manipulated to turn white fat into brown fat in mice…  Now here’s the theory, if the hormone is also in humans, maybe it can alter white fat into brown fat…

 

Now here’s the reason for my comment, “are you a man or mouse”…  The way this type of news is reported is not helping in the battle of the bulge…  So what do we do brake out the ice breakers and head to the north-pole and shiver our way to a leaner body…  This discovery though news worthy is not what some scientists call the “holy grail” to solving our battle losing unwanted fat…

 

So what does work, and has worked for decades at losing fat and more importantly keeping it off…  Here is The Fat Loss Coach prescription for getting to your ideal weight and staying there…  It’s a discovery I made, not working with mice, but with thousands of men and women…  I did not discover it in the lab, but on the front lines of the battle- field helping fifteen patients each day for twenty plus years…  The foundation of this breakthrough is a lifestyle forged with the right balance of quality foods, portioned amounts, frequency of meals, duration and type of exercise, good hydration and proper rest, combined with the right dose of behavior modification…  This discovery manages both hormonal and metabolic activity and has stood the test of time…  The commercial for this discovery thirty seconds of benefits and zero for side effects, because there are none…  I can see that old Yankee smiling down on me today and hear those words, “are you a man or a mouse”…
