EXERCISE PROGRAM AND DESIGN
Your exercise program could be flawed. Whether
you don’t exercise enough or exercise too much, over do cardiovascular work or not enough, these all play an important role in your ability to maintain a healthy weight. You do not need a complex exercise regime to maintain a healthy weight and a good physique. Aside from a genetic predisposition with your metabolism, your body does not want you to be overweight. Being overweight, or conversely too thin, is interpreted as stressful to your vitality. A complex training program is necessary and beneficial for an advanced exerciser who has met his or her basic health needs and wants to go to the next level; such as training a person involved in high level athletics and competition. Someone trying to lose weight does not need that type of complex exercise program; the fact that they are overweight is a clear indicator that their body is under stress and not having the minimal healthy require- ments met. Adding an overly rigorous exercise program would only create more negative-stress, making it even harder to lose fat and gain muscle.
REAL, CLEAN FOODS Eat only the highest quality foods that you can. Why? Toxins in food pro-
duced with chemicals like herbicides, fungicides, synthetic preservatives, medical drugs, growth hormones, etc., directly affect not only the foods they are in, but also your body when consumed. Whatever chemicals the body cannot eliminate, are stored in your fat tissue as a protective measure for the central nervous system. The toxic fallout from these foods accumulates over time and creates many physical and neurological problems. Cellulite, for example, is a direct reflection of chemical stress on the cells. Eating high quality foods will greatly limit cellular stress and will allow your body to use more energy on repair and growth—and less on detoxification.
SIDE NOTE It’s very important to know that holding on to body-fat is a clear sign of some physi-
cal and physiological stress that is not being addressed. Body-fat is important because it’s what keeps us alive and functioning , especially under times of great stress. The ac- cumulation of excess body-fat (and this means those who are not visually overweight, but the small sized person with more fat than muscle) is a survival technique designed to ensure survivability, having muscle or being muscular is not vital for life-function. If you are mainly healthy both physically and mentally, eat properly, stay away from
excess amounts of toxins from medical and non-medical drugs in and out of food or water. Stay away from excess alcohol, caffeine and sugars and manage your stress input /outputs—you will need moderate amounts of movement on a daily basis to maintain your ideal bodyweight for a lifetime.
