Two-thirds who lose weight on diets gain it back within 1 year. 98% gain their weight back and more within 2 years. WEIGHT CONTROL FACTS

  6. WHY DIETS DON’T WORK • Short-term solution for a long-term problem • Majority of diets are not balanced (Ornish, Atkins) • Few tackle the core issue of keeping blood sugar balanced • Few look at the whole picture or health as a lifestyle

  11. WHAT IS THE GLYCEMIC INDEX?

  12. FOODGLYCEMIC INDEX Glucose Baked Potato Corn Flakes White Bread Table Sugar Apple Peach Black Beans 100 85 84 70 61 38 28 20 High GI = 70+ Medium GI = 56-69 Low GI = 55 and below

  13. UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR BRAIN & BODY WORK • Brain & body work off of glucose • Carbs are NOT bad – it’s the kind & amount • Challenge: Brain works off a Narrow Band of Blood Sugar

  14. BRAIN WANTS US TO “ROLL” IN THIS NARROW BAND OF BLOOD SUGAR

  15. BREAKFAST FOODSCEREAL, BAGEL, ORANGE JUICECOFFEE SHOP LATTE & MUFFIN

  16. “STATE OF EMERGENCY” SPIKE your blood sugar, brain thinks it’s ...DROWNING Blood sugar too LOW, brain thinks it’s ...STARVING BOTH states are equally harmful to brain/body….

  17. WHEN BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES • Brain releases a very powerful hormone • INSULIN is your storage hormone • It does its job very well!

  18. 1 HR LATER - BLOOD SUGAR DROPS

  19. YOU ARE STARVING! (OR DEAD TIRED) • Blood Sugar TOO low • Shaky weakness, fatigue, mental fog • Uncontrollable Hunger (Emotional Eating) • “Get me FOOD!”

  20. WE DO THIS 5 X’S PER DAY OVER 20, 30 YEARS ... BODY CAN’T HANDLE IT ANYMORE

  21. THIS IS WHY... • Diets Don’t Work • Short Term Solution to Long Term problem • Extremes Don’t Work • Balance, not deprivation or removing whole food groups • Quick Fixes Don’t Work • Lifestyle

  22. HIGH GLYCEMIC FOODS • 85 to 90% of the carbohydrates adults and children are consuming in the US and Canada are considered to be high-glycemic. • Bread, rice, cereals, and potatoes actually spike your blood sugar faster than if you were eating table sugar.

  23. WHAT ARE HIGH GLYCEMIC FOODS? • Sugar, Candy, Ice Cream, Cookies • White Flour, White Rice, White Tortillas • Most Breads & Cereals • Potatoes • Highly Processed Foods • “Instant” Foods • Fruit Juices • Every time you spike your blood sugar, you create INFLAMMATION in the body

  24. INFLAMMATION “Chronic inflammation lies at the root of virtually every disease process known to modern man – from weight gain, obesity & heart disease to autoimmune disorders like lupus, MS and rheumatoid arthritis.” - Dr. Chris Lydon, Yale University Anti-inflammatory Lifestyle = Supplementation, Exercise & Nutrition

  25. WHY IS ENERGY STORED AS FAT? • Muscle Cells have insulin receptor sites • Too much insulin in blood? • Muscle Cells shut down receptor sites  become Insulin Insensitive

  26. WHY IS ENERGY STORED AS FAT? • BAD NEWS…. • Fat cells are like Energizer Bunnies! • AND have their own insulin receptors

  27. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY... Fat cells duplicate, multiply & secrete hormones which create more fat cells, which create more…

  28. GOOD NEWS! REVERSIBLE! • Keep blood sugar rolling between “band” • Slow release of insulin • Muscle cells start regenerating insulin receptor sites • Fat cells starve (receptor sites shut down) REGENERATE INSULIN RECEPTOR SITES!

  29. TAKE HOME POINT Don’t SPIKE blood sugar or let it go too LOW Both are equally harmful to brain/body WHY?

  30. WHEN OUR BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO LOW • Cravings • Binging • Low Energy • Moody, Irritable • No Dieting!

  31. WHEN WE SPIKE OUR BLOOD SUGAR • Store energy as fat WAIST • “Insulin Insensitivity” - difficult to lose weight • Uncontrollable Eating & Cravings • Increase Risk of Diabetes & Degenerative Disease • Decrease immune system • Low Energy  Energy Roller Coaster

  32. WHEN OUR BLOOD SUGAR IS KEPT STABLE • Lose Weight • Release Fat – WAIST! • Energy! • Feel satisfied & lose cravings • Increase Fitness Levels • Strengthen Immune System • Reduce Inflammation • Feel GREAT!

  33. How Do You Keep Blood Sugar Stable Throughout The Day And Reduce Inflammation?

  35. SUPPLEMENTATION • All about CELL HEALTH • All health and disease starts in the cell Get Cells Healthy And Then The Cells Can Take Care Of The Body

  36. IMPORTANCE OF SUPPLEMENTATION Research of Dr. Bruce Ames, professor of toxicology at UC Berkeley has demonstrated that “a deficiency in any of the micronutrients such as folic acid, Vitamins B-12, B-6, niacin, C, E, iron or zinc, mimics radiation and chemicals in damaging DNA by causing single & double strand breaks, oxidative lesions or both”. In fact, the damage your system will endure from a nutrient deficiency is hundreds of times greater than any damage cause by radiation or chemicals.

  37. SUPPLEMENTATION Every Day… • Take a High Quality Multi-Vitamin • Essential Fatty Acids – 2 kinds Cell is the building block of the body… where all health and disease originates

  38. BUT WHAT ABOUT IF YOU EAT VERY HEALTHY? • 1900’s versus today • Over farming, fertilization methods • Nutrition is no longer in the soil

  39. BUT WHAT ABOUT IF YOU EAT VERY HEALTHY?
