The Seven Truths About Obesity by obesity specialist Gus Prosch Jr., M.D.
1. If you’re obese, you have a lifetime disease.
2. Your metabolic processes will always tend to be abnormal.
3. You cannot eat what others eat and stay thin.
4. Anyone can lose weight and stay slim provided the causes of weight gain are determined, addressed, and corrected.
5. Understanding insulin metabolism is the key to losing weight intelligently.
6. There is absolutely no physiological requirement for sugar or processed foods in your diet.
7. You cannot lose weight and keep it off successfully by strictly and solely following any special diet, by taking a weight-loss pill, or by following an exercise program. To succeed, you must address all the contributing factors causing obesity. And you must make exercise and physical activity a lifetime effort.

Fast Food Counter Actions
If you absolutely have to eat fast food and I don't know why that would ever be, but if you have to here are some counter measures. First you can take some digestive enzymes but the need to be from a whole, raw food source. Second you need to take any where from 4 to 8 pro biotic tablets. These need to be anywhere from 6 trillion different types of good bacteria and higher.
Both of these will aid your body in removing the crap you just ate, and helping you to digest a bit more of it as well. My advice is to use the same rules when eating out that you do when searching for raw foods at a grocery store. Go to a grocery store instead of a fast food restaurant there never to far apart. If not, only eat things living like a salad or fruit no french fries ever! There is no excuse for you to eat those or any other deep fried heart stopper. If you want a burger eat it without the bun even though it has been proven that fast food place receive lower grade beef than other restaurants.
One thing above all else don't go to a fast food restaurant you can make it home you will be fine call it a fast if you have to, whatever it takes.
You will be better for it!

Fitness Tip
When working out focus on a muscle group and dominate it. Run your muscle to complete exhaustion then do ten more. After this you need to move on to another muscle group. Try and focus on two a day or if you are super disciplined you can do it three times a week. This will only work if you hammer your muscles hard and then you will have to do more than 2 muscle groups at a time.
I work out everyday starting with my arms and chest with some abdominal work then on day two I do my back, legs and more abdominal.
You can work your abs everyday, the never really need to rest, especially if you are working on making them look like a wash board. If you do not see a difference after about 2 weeks then you need to do more and longer.
Increase your weights and do less reps this will help you build muscle more rapidly. If you want long lean muscle do more reps with slightly less weight.
The key is to keep changing your work out styles not the muscle groups. Your body will become used to the routine in as little as two weeks.
Challenge yourself and work hard these goals are obtainable.

Empty?
If you are anybody who knows anything about fast food you know how bad for you it really is. Let me give you an example, one french fry from McDonald's has less nutritional value than a cigarette! I know that is really crazy, but it is true and the same goes for a hamburger from any fast food place.
If you take into account the amount of effort that goes into sterilizing our food you will understand that anything bleached, sprayed with chemicals, or pasteurized, is like eating nothing. Negative empty calories go no where, it is like you are eating paper, only greasier.
So where do those negative calories go? Well they end up stored in fat cells for later digestion because the body will always digest that which is raw or whole first because it needs the energy. What this does is causes your body to be in starvation mode even though you are eating food and gaining weight. Pretty crazy huh?
So if you are eating alot of processed food you are starving your body of its nutrients it needs to digest the food stored which in turn makes your body run more tired and sluggish.
Without the nutrients from food rich in vitamins and minerals you will have more body pain such as but not limited to arthritis, joints popping, headaches, backaches and lack of sleep.
Not to mention you are now heavier than you have ever been. The problem that most people have is that when they finally decide to do something about it, their metabolism is shot and their bodies can't regulate their glucose levels. Thus stripping you of the energy needed to reach any goal that pertains to weight loss.
Years and years of bad food stored up like your body is never going to eat again, thats obese America!

Soft Drinks (Satans' Syrup)
Some shocking statistics:
The average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites.
Soda accounts for more than one-quarter of all drinks consumed in the United States.
In the past 10 years, soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States. Teenage boys now drink, on average, three or more cans of soda per day, and 10 percent drink seven or more cans a day.
The average for teenage girls is more than two cans of soda a day, and 10 percent drink more than five cans a day. 80
What’s wrong with soft drinks? Just about everything. First, they are loaded with sweeteners—usually high fructose corn syrup—or sugar substitutes, notable aspartame. (We have already discussed the negative effects of refined sugar on every organ and system in the body.) The sugar in soda pop is nothing but naked calories and acts as an anti-nutrient. Sugar in soft drinks accounts for 35 percent of all U.S. sugar consumption, and more than any other source, contributes to what has become a national addiction to sweet foods of all kinds.
Seems like a no brainer for me, but people are still drinking like maybe they want to die.
This information comes to you from my new study material, The Biblical Health Institute.
