HEALTHY EATING
This food plan is traditional
North American with reduced meat, dairy products, sugar
and no fat added.
This food plan with the help of
the patch will work for most people. With the patch you will feel
full earlier and eat less. Furthermore, the patch increases the
metabolism and thus burns stored fat.
Good news first: We want you to
enjoy eating. You cannot deprive yourself of one of the basic needs
and be happy. You have to like yourself and your way of life. You
can only do this if you approve of how you do things and have self
respect. There is no other way to achieve this without some perseverance
and persistence. There is no need to starve. In fact you are supposed
to eat three meals and three snacks every day and not go hungry.
Accept the reason why you are overweight
now. Without recognizing this you cannot succeed in making the changes
in eating a little less and reduce the intake in fatty and sweet
foods. In principle that is all there is in changes. If you cannot
accept this, do not start the program.
How to reduce calory intake the
natural way, with the help of the EZEE SLIMMING PATCH. It is so
much easier, because you have this help.
Within 3 months you should be able
to carry on with the same food choices and without the help of the
patch. The purpose of the slimming patch was to help in aquiring
new habits.
Basic knowledge that will help you
to succeed
Knowledge is the power to give you direction and determination.
Even if you make a few mistakes, as long as you stay on course and
you don't give up. Never give up! You are not on a 4 weeks fad diet.
You are on a permanent change of eating habits that will make you
look better and improve your outlook on health. Being overweight
is the start of many health problems including having your chest
cut open for by-pass surgery (good only for a limited number of
years until your arteries are clogged up again), diabetes, some
cancers, joint problems from carrying excessive weight, high blood
pressure and many others.
Virtually
all quantity restrictive diets fail because they do not respect
the fact that nature in the long run is always more powerful than
temporary diets. Therefore, eat always at regular times 3 meals
a day and 3 snacks so that you will never be very hungry. Hungry
people go on eating binges. Do not go on crash diets. Or protein
diets (meat and dairy products only). You need a balanced diet.
Don't starve yourself with too small portions or with juices or
diet drinks only.
Our
genetics have developed over thousands of years to eat as
much as we can and store as much as we can in fat, because fat was
what helped to survive the famines that always alternated with times
when food was plentiful. In times of famines the metabolism of our
bodies slowed down (like animals that go into hibernation) to make
our stored fat in our body last long enough until food was available
again. Scientists have finally found out that when we go on diets
our body thinks another famine is starting and slows down the metabolism.
This is why dieters are perplexed that although they ate less they
did not lose weight. It gradually dawned on them that weight loss
has to be gradual on a long term to be sucessful. Your body has
to be "tricked" into believing that there is no famine
coming. This is achieved by eating more plant food that fills your
stomach faster than animal food. Animal food has too many calories
mainly in fat and you can eat a lot more before you get the feeling
your stomach is full. By the time you do get the feeling you are
full, you are way overloaded with calories.
Meat
eating animals have a much shorter digestive tract than people.
Our digestive tract is much longer, because it is adapted for plant
food over many thousands of years. If we eat too much meat and that
meat stays in our digestive system longer than in meat eating animals,
we have a problem with toxins and fat in our intestines and develop
health problems. If we do eat some meat, we have to eat enough carbohydrates
and fruit to have enough fibre in our digestive system to move all
undigested food and fat as quickly as possibly out of your body.
This is why we added in our instructions to eat some extra fibers
by snacking bran cereals. Do this because it is VERY important for
losing weight and for having a healthy digestive system. Excess
fat is the greatest toxin in our food supply and your greatest enemy
if you want to lose weight.
It
is like learning a new skill. It will take time to get used
to the 7 points in our instructions. At first it may sound complicated.
Within a couple of weeks you will get the hang of it and make less
eating mistakes. Because you have less fat in your cooking, it will
taste a little different. Gradually you may even like it better
that way. You have to aquire new tastes. Some people put a lot of
salt on their food. Others refuse to eat it, because it is too salty.
I am used to drinking tea that is not sweetened. If by mistake I
get a tea that was sweetened, I feel it tastes absolutely awful.
It will take a while to change your taste habits. Once you are through
with your change, you won't miss the salt or the sugar or the fat.
Once you aquired new taste habits you have won the game.
CALORIES:
Fat has 9 calories per gram and carbohydrates only 4 calories. This
shows you that you can fill your stomach and have less than half
the calories eaten. You will get plenty of fat also from carbohydrates.
70% carbohydrates, 15% protein and 15% fat will give you that lean
body and better health. Hamburger meat derives more than 50%-80%
of its calories from fat. Other animal foods, such as eggs, milk,
and milk products, processed meats like bacon and hot dogs, derive
from 50%-90% of calories from fat.
The Pritikin Longevity Center
The Pritikin Longevity Center, Santa Monica, CA., is the most respected
institution in North America pioneering better health through a
change of eating habits. They treated 65,000 people with severe
health problems such as angina (to the extent that they could not
cross the road without stopping to rest), atherosclerosis, diabetes,
high blood pressure, claudication, various degrees of overweight
and obesity. Many have already had heart attacks. Some had been
scheduled for by-pass surgery and have come to the center hoping
to avoid it. The Pritikin program has been more successful at restoring
people to normal function without the use of drugs than any other
therapy known. No other institution in the world can match their
experience and expertise in the use of low fat and high fiber diet
as well as exercise as a treatment for serious diseases. These pages
give all needed details about food choices you should make. Buy
the book Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough $8.99 + tax, for the
cook book section giving many good recipes of the conventional North
American food with less meat, less fat and more fibre. If you cannot
find it in your local book store send us $12.00 incuding postage
and taxes and we will send it to you.
Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D.
Another authority on healthy living is Dr. Julian Whitaker M.D.,
Newport Beach, CA., who has almost identical recommendations. He
says, permanent weight loss is slow and steady. This is the only
intelligent, healthy and lasting way there is. Fad diets will not
give satisfaction in the long run. You should not go on a quick
crash diet and then have a disaster binge in a few weeks. You should
look for a solution to your weight problem that will be permanent
and lasts a life time.
If you follow all 7 rules, it is
virtually IMPOSSIBLE to fail and not lose weight. If thousands of
people will benefit from our plan, we feel it was a major accomplishment.
We wholeheartedly subscribe to the Pritikin and Whitaker recommendations
as the ONLY natural and honest nutrition plan (modified conventional
North American diet) that gives you not just a slimmer body but
also a healthier body. A healthy body will also give you a healthy
mind, self respect, you will like yourself and have a happy outlook
on life.
We cannot guarantee that YOU will
follow the rules and make the required eating habit changes. Many
would blame it on the patches. This is why a guarantee would be
misleading and counter productive. The patches will help you, but
they cannot force you. You have to accept the fact that it needs
your willingness and determination to eat less fattening foods and
increase your fibre intake as fully explained. This food plan is
a little different but the food is just as delicious plus you can
eat until you are full (3 meals + 3 snacks) without stuffing yourself.

EXCERPTS TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY THE BOOK: A delicious way
to shift your menu from fat-adding foods to foods that actually
increase your metabolism so that the cells of your body burn calories
faster. Tastes of people on the eating plan begin to change and
they will prefer the fat-burning foods and no longer desire many
of the fattening foods. It is best to let it come off gradually.
However, many people lose a lot of weight fast. The most effective
permanent weight management tool ever devised. Most people have
never even heard of it. You will feel better, you will have more
energy. Let the fat melt away at its own speed. Do not push for
overly quick weight loss. His cholesterol dropped more than 80 points.
Some people have a slower metabolic rate than others. It slows down
still more as you get older. Food producers in Western countries
have heavily advertised meat, dairy products, fried chicken, French
fries and other high-fat foods. Results are disasterous for your
health and the population in now 50% overweight. Most eating binges
would never happen, if dieting were replaced with better food choices
that would promote a slow, steady drop in weight, rather than an
overly rapid weight loss. Calories from carbohydrates are not as
likely to increase body fat as are the same number of calories from
fats. Carbohydrate-rich vegetables. beans and grains are best friends
of anyone trying to shed some pounds. That is the reason why the
most effective weight-control programs use vegetarian menus. Plant-based
diets promote slimness, while animal products promote overweight.
Carbohydrate-rich foods are POWER FOODS for weight control. High-protein
diets are outright dangerous in the long run. Counting calories
is old fashioned. The key is not how much you eat, but, instead,
the types of foods you eat. While many of us grew up being taught
to make sure we got enough protein, the fact is we have gotten too
much. The idea of a lifelong change can be frightening. Don't worry
about it. Try it. If you like what it does for you, you can stick
with it for as long as you want to. After your weight is down where
you want it, you can decide whether you want to give in occasionally
to cravings for a chicken. For long-term weight control, foods must
be enjoyable - quality and quantity. Start the program for 2-3 weeks
and see how you like it.
I have given all the basic information
you need about being well nourished with all the protein and fat
without eating animal and dairy products. You may want to get the
book "Foods that Cause You to Lose Weight" for the main
reason to try the many delicious food recipes. The book costs $8.99
in your local book store. If you cannot get it locally, we will
mail it to you if you send us $12.00. (Includes postage and taxes.)
80% of females on diets by 18
HAMILTON SPECTATOR, March 25, 2000, article excerpts: Young women
are continuing to struggle with feelings of inadequacy and self
loathing. 90% are dissatisfied with their bodies. 80% of females
are on diets by 18. Some teens starve themselves, some force themselves
to vomit. Others even become vegetarians in an effort to lose weight.
The notion of fat for girls is so skewed, it's mind boggling.
The writer of the above article
did not talk to nutrition authorities that say today there is no
need to go hungry or starve yourself. In fact you should fill your
stomach with delicious food that does not cause weight gain and
keeps your body well nourished. Even top athletes follow this plan.
A dietitian connected to the meat
or dairy industry will give you different advice than dietitians
who are NOT spokespersons for special industry groups. Some nutrition
experts say outright the recommendation to eat all 5 food groups
(meat, eggs, dairy, grain, vegetables, fruit) is a political statement
to avoid offending interest groups. Also because of traditional
befiefs.
If 80% are on diets, as the newspaper says, in theory the number
of overweight people should decrease. However, the opposite is true.
The number of overweight people increases steadily. This shows that
all these temporary diets they are on do not work. We have to start
eating less or no animal and dairy products permanently as outlined
in the healthy eating section.
You have to decide for yourself,
whether you should listen to authorities like Robert Pritikin of
the Pritikin Longevity Center (who recommends reduced meat, dairy,
fat, more fibres) and Dr. Neal Barnard M.D. or Dr. John A. McDougall
M.D. (Both say to be well nourished you need NO meat, dairy, and
no fat added, people are completely mis-informed, see B). Grains,
beans, peas, vegetables and fruits provide all the protein, fat,
vitamins and minerals you need to be in excellent health. It is
the carbohydrates which are the POWER FOODS for the human body.
Best help you will ever get
This plan is saying that you should eat often and enough so that
you will never be very hungry. If you change your taste habits,
you will enjoy eating. You will have a good looking body and a healthy
body. Remember you are not alone. 90% of all people have the same
problem and should be selective in their eating. Gradually this
is becoming known to many people and hopefully there will be a reversing
of the present trend to have more and more overweight people. Our
patch and our instructions may be the best help you will ever get.
Don't miss this opportunity. Your friends will give you the recognition
you are craving for. Once you have helped yourself. You can help
them as well.
ABOUT
FATS: For weight loss and later on remaining at the desirable
weight, you have to reduce fat consumption to 15% or maximum 20%.
We are talking about fat that is included in fish, poultry, nuts,
grains, cereal and most other foods contain some fat. During the
time when you want to reduce weight, do NOT ADD any kind of fat
to your cooking. Later on add sparingly flaxseed, canola or olive
oil, if you feel you need it. Replace butter and margarine with
fat-free substitutes. Non-fat yogurt is a healthy substitute to
sour cream. Coat frying pans or baking pans with non-fat sprays
or an olive oil spray.
ABOUT
BAD FATS: Most people know about this by now. Because it
is so important, here it is again. Do not eat animal fats (saturated
fats) and trans fats (hydrogenated vegetable oil) used a lot in
packaged foods in super markets and in fast foods. Most commercially
prepared foods contain trans fats. Animal fats in meat and dairy
products and trans fats are called today by nutritionists and health
professionals the HIDDEN KILLERS, because they clogg your arteries
that nourish your heart. Hundreds of thousands of artery by-pass
surgeries are done in North America every year that could be avoided
by a change in nutrition. Unless a person changes his eating habits
at that point, he/she will need another by-pass in a number of years.
Why does their doctor not make them aware of this? At a medical
convention a number of years ago in Toronto newspapers reported
that the statement was made: We are not in the prevention business.
FATS
IN MEAT: 15% to 20% of your food should be lean protein (fish,
poultry, red meats, in that order) and in that meat you will get
the rest of fat that is included in your daily allowance. The rest
of your food should be fiber-rich vegetables, legumes, whole grains
and fruits. No refined flour baking goods or added sugar. This was
covered in our instructions. It is repeated here to review it in
the context of fat.
BE
PATIENT: In case this has not been absorbed as yet, I say
it again in different words. People hear about big weight losses
advertised by fad diets and this is why they expect big weight losses
instead of moderation. These fad dieters burn out quickly, by giving
up too many calories and then they quit. Worse, they then go on
eating binges and put on more than they had in the beginning. Weight
loss has to be slow to be successful. It will be virtually impossible
not to lose weight and stay at a desirable weight level, if you
follow instructions and make minor food changes as directed.
