Staying physically fit...and the challenges of.

You don't even have to exercise to loose weight, if your diet is right.



Again, if I were on Dr Phil's show saying this or Oprah's show or in 'O' Magazine, I'd be hailed as being brilliant, this and that, but because I'm saying this on obscure site, it will get skipped over, until repeated by some day time hostess on TV.

But it's really very simple, weight gain that is, let's start with the basics..

1. If you eat nothing you starve.

2. If you eat nothing and just water you live for 40-80 days, then starve, no weight gain.

3. If you eat nothing but fruit and vegatibles, raw, you live, but don't gain weight.

4. If you eat pies, sugar, hamburgers, beef, hot dogs, cereal, pizza, pasta, processed foods, you gain weight.

It's really that simple.

Fruit doesn't make you gain weight, you could eat 100 tomatoes a day, and not gain weight, cause there's no fat in tomatoes, at least not in measurable amounts.

You could swallow grapes all day, and not gain weight, no fat in grapes.

Weight loss is the most simple basic thing in life, but what makes it complicated is modern man, at least modern man in the West, are addicted to artifiscal foods and flavoring...



We are addicted to taste.

And that's the number one reason why folks can't loose weight while in their prime.

Taste, it's an addiction.

We have been made addicted to tastes and flavors that are not natural.

Dorito chips, yum, Snapple fruit drink, yum, Hostess Ding Dong, yum, Kit-Kat candy bar, yum, Pepsi, yum, Ruffles potato chips, yum, Mustard, yum, Ketchup, yum, Sauce, yum, milky cheese, yum.

After eating all that, makes an apple or banana seem quit dull tasting.

Again, geeky Phd expert on Oprah or Dr Phil says this, they're hailed, as they go to commercial break.

But when ordinary citizen says it, all people do is yawn, even though it's correct.

I've recently decided to add Tea to me diet, I'm sure many long time tea drinkers are like 'well duh'.

When it comes to tea, I'm not an expert at all, but did purchase a few brands this weekend that claim to have different properties, like ones a 'detox' type tea, the other 'relieves stress', and then I bought some 'black tea', and regular Lipton 'green tea'.

Again, I'm not a tea guru, so I don't have much to say about it other than I do notice the energy boost.

It's kind of hard to measure the effects of something positive, when your still doing something negative to counter it, or slow down it's effects.

For instance it's hard to measure effect of Tea on you throughout the day, when a few hours later you have some wine, or a beer.

But for those who do know about Tea, and I do not, I'll share a few brands I got.



This is one of the brands I got, the Detox, and 'Stress Relief'.

I'm drinking the Detox one now, as I type this.

Mind you I'm no tea drinking guru type, and for years was turned off by the image of tea drinkers you see in adds, and the poses they're always in, like people floating on cloud 9 or something, totally absorbed in their regiment of healthy living, lucky and blessed to live in environment where they could do so.

For years I was turned off by this type.

Like there was some kind of social wall between them and myself.

I've always been more of a dive in the ditch, and get dirty type, kind of out of necessity.

Just like Beer drinkers have an image, so do Tea drinkers, and I've never fit that Tea drinking image, not physically or mentally.

I gravitate towards Tea now, not for image, but for health alternative, as I become more aware of 'gunk' ingredients their putting in foods and drinks, naturally I want to gravitate away from that 'gunk' and more towards natural foods and drinks.

Instead of Red Bull; Tea, instead of Milk; Almond milk (not sure if that's much better, but will do for now)

If you make enough little adjustments in diet, soon all those little adjustments add up, and become a major change in how you did things in the past.

(This tea I'm drinking has notably boosted my energy, yet claims to have no caffeine in it)...

All I did was boil some water, place bag of Detox tea in cup, and drink it...had two cups, and I use purified water. But I notice a ton of energy suddenly.

I need to educate myself more on Tea, so that I know what exactly it is I'm injesting, and the effects, the claims, but right now I'm a Tea novice...

Maybe I'll ask this guy here, they seem to know a lot about Tea.

Listen to your body



Listen to your body, listen to what it's telling you.

We get in trouble when we don't listen.

1. Stop drinking or cut way back on alcohol consumption

2. Cut way back on sugar intake, all sugar intake

3. Stay away from artificially flavored foods, cause they make your crave more artificially flavored food (actually parasite in stomach does).

Don't believe so, than watch this video which explains it in much better terms than I can...Parasite controls your mind and appetite

Basically certain organism inside stomach have come to crave certain artificial sugars, flavor, in processed food, and is why you end up craving fake food over unflavored natural healthy food.

4. You know soda is no good for you so stop making excuses to drink it (refer to 3.)

5. Be good, honest, and behave in a upright way...yes that to is a form of health. The more honest, genuine and sincere you are the less anxiety you carry around, the less stress you carry, the healthier you'll be.
The cleaner your conscious, the happy you'll be.

6. Dust and clean often, if you have the choice between tile/hardwood, choose that over carpet.



Bugs, insects, fleas, roaches, spiders, dust mites, mold and any other undesirable crawly creepy thing will never be able to hide, make a home, as they do in carpets.
You have no idea the amount of dust and grit that you track inside until you get a tile floor and can actually see it daily, and deal with it daily.

And if you do have a carpet, no shoes.

Anyways, time to go exercise...all this writing about health has put me in the mood to go exercise a bit, nothing hard and rigorous.
The main thing is to 'do something' 'anything', to main objective is to keep the body limber, flexible, which will improve blood flow to joints, body tissue.

7. Yes, almost forgot, no dairy products, or heavy oils or grease, if you value your health...Avoid dairy products, expecially milk as an adult.
(a pizza now and then, ye why not).

Later.

I get tired of media always blaming high levels of Diabetes and other health issues, those in inner city communities suffer, as being do to poverty.

Hogwash, it's do to laziness and poor eating habits...has nothing to do with color or poverty.

Heck, I was dead broke once, homeless even, but never resorted to eating twinkies and donuts and fatty foods.

Health is health, and money has absolutely nothing to do with how healthy one is or not.

People in inner cities, particularly the women, are fat and unhealthy do to poor eating habits and lack of exercise...period.

Has nothing to do with lack of medical facilities or health care.

Me, myself, haven't been to doctor for years, why, cause I self medicate simply by eating right and exercising.

I'm not rich, but I'm healthier than most who are rich, simply cause I try to eat right and exercise.

And I'm sure genetics plays a role in that to.

Women, crammed in the inner city, isolated from positive people, tend to just stay cramped up inside apartments, talking on phone with dead beat men, who are in and out of jail and prison...when these men get out, the mate with females, then go back to jail or prison, female ends up raising hobbits a lone, looses motivation, sits at home and eats, no hobbies, no culture, just TV and destructive R&B love lyrics.

It's a destructive lifestyle, a useless one.

Rural women, or women raised correctly, join clubs, date real men, go hiking, plan activities, are tied with positive people and groups and have a healthier outlook on life.

Inner city women are often cut off from all of that and never mature beyond the hood mentality.

They get older, realize they're not going to marry prince charming, hobbits become their only family, they sit at home, eat donuts and ice cream, get fat, drink beer, and get diabetes at age 35.

You don't have to be rich to be healthy, you just have to change habits, grow up and mature, and learn how to cook for self, and how to read.

But you can't tell these women nothing when they're younger, they think they know it all.

And then by age 30 are overweight and always going to doctor...

I think I'm going to make trip to farmers market this morning, it's further out, but am so sick of buying fruit, vegtables, that use to have healing properties, before food scientist all but removed those properties from them for longer lasting shelf life, or so it looks like wax sitting on display.

Dead food essentially...all in the name of profit, and our health, by the millions, are suffering because of it.

I work around some people who are just 'hefty'...even though they work like I do, they don't seem to loose weight like I do after a long day in heat.

I sweat a lot during the day, do to no A/C in vehicle, and wonder if sweating is a good thing, in that all day long you're flushing out toxins, and who knows what else, through sweat glands.

Those I work around do have a/c, and therefore aren't exposed to heat all day like I am.

Sometimes I wonder what the term effects of a/c are?

Either way I think I'd rather have a/c than not have it, but not having it is sure helping me stay slim...and loose weight.

That and over all general diet, I guess.

Low fat low sugar diet.
