Classification … LONGEVITY > #WEIGHT, #HOWTO, #NUTRITION, #FOOD … (FULL SYSTEM) (REALITY SHIFT)
Overview … Recently, researchers at Beth Israel Medical, Harvard, and Yale University have recommended adding the obvious waist circumference to the definition of “obese,” with good reason. But that also means that they’ve now acknowledged that three-quarters of all U.S. adults are obese. … Here’s what happened: In this culture, during recent decades, a corporate hijacking of the “food” industry has been accomplished. And they’ve made most available “food” more addictive, less nutritious, and in fact somewhat poisonous. All in the name of greater profits. … So nowadays, if you eat “normally,” your health goes downhill fast. But the good news? Here ‘ya go: It’s actually not complicated—once you know the trick—to regain your ideal weight.
It’s not *fun* to fix it, because you can’t continue eating those corporate-engineered, addictive fake-foods and fake-food snacks. That’s what has cost you your youthful body and energy. And because these “normal” foods are intentionally engineered to keep you fat and addicted, you gotta tell them no. However, it’s not actually difficult … if you know how.
When it comes to re-training your body, here’s the trick that makes it much easier. It’s a sequence …
Do each step then go to the next, and you’ll first remove the addiction.
When you remove the addiction, you’ll stop creating the obesity.
When you stop creating the obesity, your body will revert to a more functional, stronger, healthier, better-feeling state.
Here’s the magic sequence. It can take some weeks or months, so be prepared for a slow marathon and not a wild sprint. Calm your mind to be patient and simply continue day after day. Weighing yourself every single day will aid your motivation. Yep, it will go up and down a bit, but there is learning to be found in that. Here’s what to do …
These are fast-converting carbs (any and all grains, all sugars, all seed-oils, all salty “snacks”), and these things keep your body craving more, just like a junkie wants heroin, and a smoker wants cigarettes. The best way to do this is: for a period of time, eat *only* single-ingredient foods that you prep yourself.
Think about your great-grandparents. If they could get the food—anywhere in the world—t’s actual food.
But anything “invented” after 1950, anything that requires an advertisement, anything prepped or packaged is probably not actual food. Pretty much all prepared soups, sauces, chips, prepped-meals, frozen meals, snacks, all fast food, all restaurant food is no longer actual food.
The best approach: Eat things like eggs and bacon (no toast), huge salads without croutons or sweet things like sugared nuts or cranberries, make veggie and meat soups without potatoes (other than japanese or purple potatoes, which are a different species). Eat meat/fish/fowl with low-carb veggies. Have a very few fruits from: berries, citrus, pears, peaches, apples, kiwi. Absolutely *stuff* yourself with these things, to stay away from the newer, invented, damaging “normal” foods. Those are the problem, and they are killing us.
Once you’re free of addictive foods, your addiction will fade away over a number of days. You’ll still have bad habits, but if you focus and continue, those bad habits will weaken after three weeks. If you cave in, your three weeks starts over. But now, once free of addictive foods … your next target is to stop eating all day long.
Set a window of time, for example, 8 hours and eat ONLY within this window. This allows your body 16 hours to rest, take a break, and focus on stuff other than digestion. Your body will function better, and you will sleep better, feel stronger, and have better energy.
And since you’ve weakened the addiction, you’ll find that now … it’s reasonably easy to only eat within this window. Especially if you really, really tank up, especially in the beginning. Got the impulse to eat some more? Tank up like crazy, if necessary, with these non-poisonous, non-addictive foods before the end of your “eating window.”
Begin some kind of exercise, whatever you can do every day is best. Doesn’t have to be difficult or painful, just something you can do *regularly* like walking or gardening or yoga or lifting tiny weights at home or calisthenics or taichi. What matters, at first, isn’t what or how hard. What’s important is regularity.
This will upregulate hormones that make you stronger, it will make your blood flow, it will trigger body-chemicals that make you feel better than before. If you want to exercise more powerfully, fine. There are helpful, timesaving, high-benefit exercise articles on this website. But your priority is to be REGULAR. For re-establishing your ideal weight, that’s what’s most important.
Once you can do this “intermittent” fasting and are no longer gobbling food all day long, then learn to take a one-day fast. Nothing other than water, coffee, or tea. That’s it. No carbs of any kind. No protein of any kind. No fats of any kind. (So no milk or cream or fake sweetener in your coffee; take it black.) Now here’s the surprising part.
Since you’ve already turned off the compulsive “gobbles,” and you’ve regained the ability to say no to eating, you will find that a one-day fast is actually rather easy. You may still have some habits, or thoughts, but your body and addictions will not actually stop you.
And now, finally, your body can begin to function as it was designed, because it uses this time to clear out the “trash” in the body, removing damaged cells, and restoring even better response to insulin. Again, your sleep, energy, and mood improves. It’s like taking the trash out of the kitchen. Before, it just piled up forever, and that’s lousy.
Remove all poisons from your house, they keep you off-balance. They’ve become “normal” during the same time we became near-universally sick and fat, but these things are damaging your body daily.
These poisons include all kitchen tools, pots, food-containers, plates, or glasses made plastic, silicone, or teflon. This includes plastic air-fryers. Remove all scented cleansers or air-fresheners or laundry-sheets or pods. All are toxic. Swap out your undergarments that use synthetics, then pants and shirts and dresses and skirts and outer clothing built of plastic. All of these damage the hormones that keep you healthy and feeling good.
You’ll feel even better if you add some daily sunlight, and if possible, give your body doses of too-cold (cold shower) or too-hot (sauna), and add some form of higher-intensity exercise.
There are other things like mold, EMF exposure from electrical devices or powerlines, and light-pollution disturbing your sleep. But by now you’re already in way better shape.
At this point, you’re no longer obese. Wow! It happened along the way, just by changing “normal” poisons all around us into actual food, actual movement, actual sleep. Cool!

“Eat Like a Bear: Half my Size with the Ridiculously Big Salad” — by Amanda Rose. If you wish to jump-start weight loss, you may wish to insert this way of eating (suggested after getting off addictive foods, and acclimatizing yourself with intermittent fasting). Her method is a One-Meal-a-Day keto approach using an absolutely huge salad, eating as much as you wish over an hour. She doesn’t specify non-poisonous foods, but that’s easy to fix. :)
“The Wild Diet: Get Back to Your Roots, Burn Fat, and Drop Up to 20 Pounds in 40 Days” — by Abel James. Good discussion about the “low calorie” hoax, and how eating natural, single-ingredient meals can be luxurious, and how they help your body to return to its natural function.
