I am now, but not my new weight. That is a whole new ball game. I reached my goal weight on a Thursday in April 2. I tried to begin eating normally I gained 5 pounds Not only did I feel like I could I not stop eating once I started as I was so craving the variety of food, and I was combining the wrong foods together causing my body to put the fat back on hoke asp So, that Sunday I went back on the first diet for the next week. I did lose that weight again, but was really struggling with being back on that diet having worked so hard to reach my goal and then thinking I could just jump off of the diet and move on. Okay, Friday arrived again the following week and I went off the diet again. Back on the diet again on Sunday. I did this three times. Gain. Breakfast is key, that you know. But which breakfast reigns supreme for its calorieburning power We have the answer. Every year millions of people in Britain try to lose weight, and most fail. We are constantly bombarded with advice about dieting and the latest slimming. Kylie Jenner, Kim K Flaunt Perfect Bodies On Instagram Top Five WeightLoss Diet Foods KUWTK Stars Love. Two days off the diet, and 5 days on again. It was so disheartening And I felt so afraid of eating And I felt like I couldnt get off of that first diet. Now what I called my doctor and explained what was going on and asked for his advice and help. He gave me good instruction and told me of a way to maintain my goal weight. The basic principle being to avoid combining fats and complex carbs grain in the same meal. For example eating lunch that included fats such as cheese, peanut butter, oils, butter, with protein and vegetables and for dinner eating a meal that had basically no fat but included carbohydrates such as breads or pasta with the protein and vegetables. But not combining the two fuel sources. With this plan one can eat most foods and not be deprived just not eat them together. Lets look at this principle some more. Both fats and carbohydrates are sources of fuel. When were past puberty our bodies can usually burn one source of fuel at a time, not tandem burn. So when we feed our bodies both fat and complex carbs together, our bodies burn the sugars first complex carbohydrates in grains which are easier and set the fat aside for later. The problem is that when we eat the next snack or meal the same way, the body never has time to go get that fat that was set aside as a fuel source for later and so that fat then stays on the body. However, if we only offer the body one source of fuel at a time then the body can burn it off just fine. If we eat complex carbs grains, pasta, bread, etc. And if we eat fat isolated from carbs with protein and vegetables, our bodies can burn that just fine, too, and we feel satiated So really its not a matter of never eating fat in order to lose weight, or never eating carbohydrates. Its a matter of not tandem fueling the body by eating these two fuels together. But if you think about it, most all American foods combine fat and carbohydrates Hamburgers, lasagna, crackers, muffins, even lattes with the carbs and fats in the milk. Most food items are made with both fat and carbs stuck together So. Dont worry. God has everything under control as always, and He showed me a wonderful plan for success simultaneously with giving me these principles from my doctor. Within 2 days of hearing about these great principles and wondering how in the world I was going to implement them and while still stuck on the previous diet the Lord brought an angel of a friend in to my life. Being a new friend to me she was completely unaware of my current struggle, and yet the Lord prompted her to give me a copy of Trim Healthy Mama as a gift. What a God send. mile And this book not only goes in to depth with lots more information on this same principle of fueling the body with one fuel or the other but not together, but it provides over 2. I was in awe. mile Gods timing is amazing to me and being fairly nutritionally educated I had never heard these principles before. But the blessing doesnt even stop there. This is one of my favorite aspects of the The Trim Healthy Mama THM book and a very practical one at that my favorite thing The authors of the book, Pearl and Serene show us how to adjust most of our normal recipes for our families so that we can be losing weight, while the family eats their normal tandem fueling foods. It is a big book, 6. Pearl and Serene intentionally included all of the practical how tos and tips along the way which I so appreciate, and that help us all to be successful without the mystery and frustration of having nice principles given to us but with out the practical how tos for doing so. THM is an awesome resource. So for family shopping and meal planning everyone in our family eats the same pretty much, with some tweaking done on my part to enable some family members to lose weight who desire to do so in our family that would be me, my husband Bob, and our oldest daughter. I only prepare one dinner instead of two for dieters and non dieters as I was doing for months, and it is very easy to simply adjust the diet a bit to stop losing weight as soon as ones goal weight is reached. Amazing to me. Childrens bodies actually tandem fuel just beautifully being so young and this is actually good for them, so we dont need to be concerned about these principles for them yet. It isnt until were older that our bodies start to choke up when we try to tandem fuel. There are simple principles in the THM book, but then much explanation and understanding to help educate people, and tools to implement and give a jump start for life. Theres a lot to be learned about how to separate fats and carbs what foods fall in to which categories, and in what quantities, but then a life style is established that we can run with and have so much freedom within. Im beginning to experience this myself, and have talked with many others who are much further down the road than I am and who testify to these facts. Most people can begin reading and learning from the THM book and begin losing weight, applying the information as they learn it, trying out new recipes, etc. I had been trying to keep the weight off that I had worked so hard to lose and I didnt have time or patience for a learning process while gaining weight back so fast simultaneously. I dove in to reading the book every minute I could spare, and applied the knowledge as best as I could as I was learning. And because of coming from the first diet with no education behind it I had a steep learning curve to begin to start losing weight. Its taken me 3 weeks to halt the weight gain and to begin to get back to my goal weight. Oh how I wish I had the THM book in the first place. What he didnt expect to learn was that even when the conditions for weight loss are TVperfectwith a tough but motivating trainer, telegenic doctors, strict meal.
