The Word of Wisdom Weight-Loss Program

1. Eight Biblical Herbs, One Supplement, A LifeTime Of Wellness and Grace The Word of Wisdom Weight-Loss Program

2. This is the Walk Away Slim program with a new name. A nutritionist saw the program under the old name, "Walk Away Slim" and was angered over the name because it suggests that we must all be thin to be happy, instead of losing weight to be healthy. It pushes good women towards anorexia. I took the problem to the Lord. It was His suggestion that we name it for the place where it came from the Word of Wisdom. This program is the Word of Wisdom in action. The Word of Wisdom Weight-Loss Program evolved as I worked with clients with weight problems. Every time we had a glitch I took it to the Lord and He gave me the answer. I bundled up all the answers and came up with the program. Then the Lord said to me, "What do you think of the program? " I told Him that I though it was awesome, because it made sense and my clients were losing weight, some for the first time? They were all so happy! He said "No, what do you think it looks like?" I was puzzled and told him so. He said, "Doesn't it look like the Word of Wisdom?" I was again puzzled. He said, "Look at the use of fruits and vegetables. Look at the use of grains, especially wheat. Finally, the use of meat sparingly." Then he helped me remember the Word of Wisdom, word for word that I knew by heart. As we went over it together I finally understood. The information He had been giving me for my clients was the guidelines given in the Word of Wisdom. I felt humbled and rather embarrassed. For years I had studied information from so called authorities in the field and saw that they were all conflicting with each other. I didn't know what to do. I felt like Joseph Smith must have in wondering what church to join with all their conflicting words. I was chasing the words of man and had not remembered what the Lord has already told us. Not once had I thought of the Word of Wisdom as a way to lose weight. I'm here to tell you, " IT IS!"

All as if you just picked it straight from the earth. Why can’t I lose weight even though I am eating well and exercising? How much ‘should’ I weigh? I eat less than many people, yet I am the one who is overweight. Why? Weight Loss Self reflection, affirmation Many people feel defeated or frustrated by their attempts to lose weight. Although weight loss seems simple, it is actually quite complicated. Understanding all the factors that influence why you weigh what you weigh can help. When it comes to weight loss, one size does not fit all. Your best strategy is to work out a personal best weight you can live with for life.

5. Why do I weigh what I do? The diet industry would have you believe you will lose weight if you just eat less or shift your diet. The fitness industry continues to perpetuate the myth that you only need to exercise. In reality, changing your diet or exercising more may or may not result in weight loss. Although your weight reflects your nutrition and exercise habits, it is not as simple as ‘calories in versus calories out.’

6. Your weight reflects many complex factors (see sidebar) that are above and beyond your food and activity habits. Understand that while we can change some factors, we must learn to live with other stubborn, unchangeable ones. Work on the factors you can control, like nutrition, exercise, stress and sleep. Then, remind yourself that like everybody else, you have a unique weight that your body will steer toward. What influences weight? Just as we have different shoe sizes, we have different body sizes too. Many factors influence your weight: personal genetics family history age and gender medical concerns and medications amount of exercise stress and sleep levels nutrition and calories consumed dieting, fasting and starvation fluid intake and hydration status sodium and carbohydrate-rich food intake (as these can make your body store water) and body composition (bone, muscle and fat mass). ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

7. How much ‘should’ I weigh? Perhaps you have been told to use the BMI (body mass index) to assess your weight. This chart correlates height and weight into a health range. While the BMI does give a broad starting place, you are an individual. A chart cannot determine your health or how much you should weigh. Charts like these oversimplify the range of factors contributing to your weight. They cannot reflect what we have learned about the science of weight management. More and more health educators and researchers, including the Canadian Obesity Network, are moving towards individualizing target weight goals.

8. What is a personal best weight? Identifying a personal ‘best weight’ gives you a realistic target. You are likely never going to win an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel Prize. However, that does not mean you should stop shooting for your personal best. “Your best weight is the weight you can achieve while living fully. Living fully is about living healthfully AND soulfully.” Your best weight is a personal best. It is not based on a graph, chart, app or number provided by a so-called ‘expert.’ You are your own best expert. As you look at nutrition, activity level and other lifestyle considerations, keep a few points in mind. You are most likely to be at your best weight when you:

9. get enough sleep manage stress and emotions in healthy ways eat healthfully and mindfully, without striving for perfection exercise in a non-punishing or extreme way live soulfully, with enough fun and flexibility to feel that life is social and fulfilling ● ● ● ● ● Five tips for achieving your personal best weight It’s not a number First, focus on restoring your health and quality of life. Your personal best weight is not about a number on the scale. Instead, work on increasing your energy levels, improving your mood and getting the vitamins, minerals and other key nutrients you need. You may identify other targets that would help you feel your best. For instance, you might focus on reducing joint pain or the need for medication, improving digestion, or achieving healthier blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Most people who struggle with their weight have a target number in mind. They try to adapt their lifestyles to hit that number. Embracing a best weight mindset means doing just the opposite. Let go of the number. Instead, focus on achieving the healthiest possible lifestyle, while staying fun and flexible. If you can do so while continuing to enjoy life, whatever weight range you achieve will be your best weight. Find a weight loss strategy that you can live with for life. Think about how long you can follow a suggested diet plan, weight loss program, or exercise routine. If it’s not a plan you can live with forever, then weight loss is doomed to fail. The idea that you can restrict now and return to real life later just does not work in maintaining weight change. Attempting to do so is the most common reason for having your weight yo-yo up and down. In the long term, crash diets and punishing exercise plans involving hours in the gym do not work. You may lose weight at first, but often the weight returns very quickly. You may even find yourself heavier than you were

10. before. The most difficult part of a yo-yo cycle is the psychological damage it causes. Feelings of failure, body hatred, and a worsening relationship with food go hand in hand with these strategies. Instead, think about what you can enjoy versus tolerate. If you despise legumes and love meat, then a strict vegetarian diet is clearly not for you. If you are a carbohydrate lover and want to support sustainability efforts for the planet, then a paleo plan is certainly not your best bet. If you have a history of chronic dieting or an eating disorder, a system that has you meticulously tracking points or numbers in your smartphone often increases obsessive thinking. It steals the joy away from a healthy food and body relationship. If you really hate the gym and are not a morning person, then chances are that morning workouts are not your best choice for building a fitness plan. Take the die out of diet. In fact, remove the word ‘diet’ from your vocabulary. Go for an eating plan with as much variety and as few food restrictions as possible. After all, there is a basic psychological principle that we all want what we cannot have. Keep your options open, and of course, employ an eating style that considers your overall health. Find physical activity that you enjoy. When it comes to physical activity, remember – exercise to become stronger and out of love for your body, not because you hate it. Perhaps you like walking the dog, or would be happy joining a class or team. Combine physical activity with socialising and family life as much as possible. It can be more fun if you do it with a partner, pet or as part of a community. Never underestimate the power of stress and lack of sleep.

11. Although many lifestyle factors play a role, one of the most overlooked is the power of stress management and getting enough sleep. No surprise – the more stressed we get, the more our nutrition habits suffer. Being stressed makes it hard to find the time and energy to plan meals, shop and cook. Stress and sleep deprivation also trigger physiological changes in our hormones that drastically influence cravings and food preferences. The same hormonal changes hinder weight loss. During a short-term bout of stress, the brain unleashes a cascade of hormones that shut down appetite and the desire to eat. Chronic persistent stress does just the opposite. Persistent stress triggers the adrenal glands to produce the stress hormone cortisol, which increases appetite and influences overall motivation to eat. According to research, ongoing emotional or physical stress causes cravings for foods high in sugar and fat. High cortisol and insulin levels, as well as higher levels of the hunger hormone known as ghrelin, seem linked to cravings. Although getting enough sleep and reducing negative stress can be challenging, make them a priority in your overall weight management program. Weight wisdom You know your body best. A truly healthy weight is not something that can be found on a chart. Your body will naturally stay in a healthy weight

12. range when you nourish it with healthy food, exercise regularly, and manage sleep and stress. Never allow the weight you see on the scale to determine whether you will have a good day, or a bad one filled with feelings of failure and guilt. Your happiness, self-worth, and beliefs about your health should not be assessed in that way. Resist the magnetic pull of the scale and start to measure your success on your own terms. Move towards a best weight philosophy that offers a kind, compassionate and realistic view of your efforts going forward. Do it for You Did someone make an offensive comment about your weight? Is someone close to you pressuring you to lose weight? That shouldn’t be your motivation to lose weight. You can never achieve true success and happiness if every action you do is intended to please someone else. When the motivation to lose weight comes from external sources, should the going get tough, you will give up. Motivation that comes from within is far much stronger and positive than motivation that comes from others. Let the urge to lose weight and to live a healthy lifestyle come from a positive place- let it come from you! Know Your Body Type I have watched the hardest working people in the gym struggle to keep the pounds off. The reason is partly because they do not follow a workout and diet regimen that is tuned to their body type. Yes, there is such a thing as body types! The scientific term for it is somatotypes, and there are three; mesomorph. endomorph, ectomorph and We are all a combination of these three types. Depending on yours, you may need to lift more weights or do more cardio, eat less carbs or lay-off

13. the fatty foods. Knowing your somatotypes will also help you set your goals and expectations. As a general rule of thumb, endomorphs tend to gain weight easily and have a hard time losing it. Mesomorphs don’t gain weight easily but when they do, they find it easier to shed it. Ectomorphs don’t gain weight easily, and tend to have strong physiques. Know the Facts Where does fat go when you lose weight? What is a caloric deficit? How is fat created? All these questions and more, are extremely important in making your weight loss journey successful. Understanding the truth about how your body works, the kind of fuel it needs and when it has had enough, is the foundation of a sustainable weight loss and healthy living. They say that education never stops. This is true even when losing weight. There is a lot of great, credible information on the mechanics of weight loss. In general, the kind of knowledge that you are seeking is on the right kind of exercises to do for weight loss, and proper nutrition. The National Institutes of Health conducted a study in which they found that subjects who were well informed on nutrition science found it easier to lose weight. Stay in the Now When you have 40 pounds of weight to lose, you may feel like the Greek myth legend Sisyphus, rolling a heavy boulder up an unending mountain.

14. When you’re always looking at the big picture, it is easy to lose hope. You need to realise that what will make the difference when you hit a wall is not remembering your ambitious goal. What will make the difference is you putting your left leg in front of the right, doing that last pushup or even going to the gym on that day when you feel exhausted. Staying in the now means concentrating on the tasks at hand instead of the end goal. When you execute what you need to do every day, the results will come without you thinking about them.
