Weight Loss Dance
Its seems strange for a guy who seems to have two left feet
when it comes to dancing to write about a weight loss dance…
In fact my article has nothing to do
directly with the activity of dancing to lose weight…
However it does involve a valuable lesson I learned going to my
first dance, which changed my life…
Several weeks ago one of my first patients of the day was an
80-year old female, 4’8” weighing 143 lbs at 47% body fat…
During our initial consultation I explained
she had 67 lbs of fat, and would have to lose 31 lbs of it to get to her ideal
weight of 112 lbs…
Her response, “that
is impossible”…
I am never surprise
when I hear those words; especially a client her age, but also never surprised,
when it happens…
In fact I expect it
will happen…
Three weeks after her starting her customized plan, she
loses 7 lbs of fat, while increasing 2 lbs of muscle…
Her smile lit up her face…
I must say mine left me, when she said, “can I go back to some of my old
habits”…
I closed my eyes and I could
hear my father’s (earthly father) voice asking me; which girl are you taking to
the dance?
What is so strange, it
happened more than 30 years ago at my first high school dance… The Beatles were
the dance theme, no not the ones in your garden, the group from England…
After I told my Dad who I was taking; he
simply said, “be sure she is who you take home”…
His advice was so simple, but its wisdom would last my whole
life…
He was saying remain faithful to
the choices you make…
Bring home from
the dance the one you brought to the dance…
I opened my eyes and asked my client this question…
What habits created her amazing fat loss in
such a short period of time?
Of course
she said, “my new eating habits”… Eating four meals a day of quality foods,
which had been perfectly portioned to her produced dramatic fat loss;
especially in the middle third of her body… She had brought her new habits to
the weight loss dance, but now wanted to go home with some of her old ones…
Well it is more than thirty years since that first dance,
but it taught me a lesson I have been practicing ever since…
I decided long ago I would bring to the
dance healthy foods in amounts right for me; five or six meals per day…
My healthy lifestyle would be a faithful
dance partner providing me a strong, lean and very healthy body; which was
aging slower than the others at the dance…
I still seem to have two left feet when it comes to
dancing; but I have masters a three-step system, which has changed the lives of
thousands… Over more than two decades
thousands of my clients have brought to their weight loss dance a lifestyle
customized to them of right foods, perfectly portioned at proper times… The Beatles no longer show up at dances, but
my concept has stood the test of time…
I still share the wisdom I learned long ago; bring home from the dance
the one brought to the dance…
