One thing I love to
do when I get up at 4 am (yes, I know, I'm crazy)
is to peruse the questions that we've received from readers and
clients.
This tells me what
people's issues are and what they might need me to talk about in
newsletters.
But every once in a
while, a question just makes me say, "Huh? Did you really just
ask that?"
Here is one of those
questions that just made me scratch my head:
*******************
Sherry:
I
have had 3 c-sections (2004, 2007 and 2009), a total colectomy
(2010) and an uterine ablation. I have gained 50 pounds since
the 2010 surgery.
What should I eat??? I do Weight Watchers points plus and it is
not working...
I
have your books but I need some encouragement and perhaps a jump
start.
Krista
*******************
SB: Krista,
with all due respect, you're basically in the window of a
burning building and you're asking me to convince you to jump
into the firemen's net.
If losing your colon
and gaining 50 pounds isn't enough motivation to change your
diet, then what is? A new disease? Another surgery?
To try to help you,
I'll explain to you and all my readers what's really going on
here, and also why Weight Watchers hasn't worked for you.
*********
Part 1: The
colon removal
Krista didn't say why
she had her colon removed, but the most common reasons are:
Severe diverticulitis
Colon cancer
Ulcerative colitis
Each of those
conditions is a BIG RED FLAG that something is seriously wrong
with your digestion.
Diverticulitis (and its predecessor, diverticulosis) is 100% caused by poor
digestion. Inadequate digestion leads to wastes that don't get
eliminated like they should. They get stuck along the colon
wall, cause constipation and lead to the formation of the
pockets (diverticula) that characterize the disease.
In addition, although
there are many factors that can play into the development of cancer, the toxins and acid wastes that build up from
insufficient digestion provide the ideal environment in which
cancer can thrive.
Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune condition, meaning that the immune
system gets confused and attacks healthy cells in the colon,
causing sores, pus, bleeding and diarrhea. However, poor
digestion can aggravate an intestinal tract that is
sore-infested and encourage or worsen an attack.
So...no matter what
the underlying cause of having her colon removed, all the
evidence points to Krista needing to improve her digestion.
If not, it's only a
matter of time before something else goes wrong.
You see, once a
diseased body part is removed, you're not out of the woods.
Unless you address what caused the initial disease to begin
with, something else just as bad is sure to pop up.
And when you're
talking about poor digestion and buildup of wastes and toxins,
that can mean cancer somewhere else, Crohn's disease (similar to
colitis, but usually in the small intestine),
gastritis/ulcers/acid reflux or even arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Now, on to...
Part 2: Weight
Watchers, why have you failed me?
Weight Watchers is
effective at helping people track intake and gives them a
support system to encourage their efforts.
Most people do take
off weight at least initially by consuming fewer calories than
they burn. It's strictly a mathematical formula.
But that formula
works against you eventually.
You see, your body is
smart and realizes that you're taking in fewer calories. So it S
- L - O - W - S down your metabolic rate to keep you functioning
on less food.
That means you lose
fewer pounds...then eventually that scale number becomes
stubborn and will not budge.
Clearly calorie
counting or reduced intake is not the real key to taking weight
off and keeping it off. If it was, then there would have been no
more overweight people in the world once Weight Watchers came on
the scene.
Know what the secret
is to taking off pounds AND keeping them off?
1- Eating REAL foods
and
2- Efficient
digestion
Real foods
--------
Real foods include
fresh fruits, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, lean meats and
poultry, fish, whole grains and essential fats.
When you eat real
foods like these, your body can be nourished the way it needs to
be.
And when you're
nourished, great things happen:
- You naturally get
full faster and eat less overall.
- Plus, the foods
you're eating are inherently lower in calories than pizza,
burgers, fries, chips or whatever other nutritionally dead foods
you may have eaten in the past.
- Because you're
actually nourished, you'll also STAY full and satisfied longer,
so your chances of sniffing around the refrigerator for a late
night snack have just been decimated.
And all of this
means: You can get slim and STAY slim!
But remember this is
just half of the formula. You also need to...
Make sure
digestion is efficient!
If your foods are not
being broken down like they should be, you're not getting the
maximum nutrition from them. And that can cause feelings of
hunger which leads to overeating...
...plain and simple.
Getting the
help you need
Now that you know
that real foods and good digestion are key to taking off pounds
AND disease prevention, I'll guide you on what to do.
1- Use the Great Taste No Pain system
Following the simple
principles in Great Taste No Pain will make sure that
every single one of the calories you take in is filled with
nutrients AND gourmet-style delicious. If you think good-for-you
foods are boring, wait until you try my recipes! They're easy,
tasty and I guarantee you'll LOVE them. Everyone does.
Most GTNP customers
who have gotten the system for digestive problems report losing
weight without even trying -- it just falls off and they're
thrilled!
And the meal planning
rules you will learn will help ensure that all of your meals are
completely and easily digested, making sure you get the maximum
nutritional boost from everything you eat...without pain!
You'll find a quick
start guide in the manuals that spells out all of your meals and
snacks for 4 full days. So there's no excuse not to get started
right away.
And to Krista, you
already own Great Taste No Pain! The answers are at your
fingertips...
OPEN THE BOOKS. Read
them.
You're holding a
winning lottery ticket. All you need to do is cash it in.
2- Supplement with digestive enzymes.
Many people who have
had a longstanding diet of fast or processed foods have reduced
their body's ability to produce enzymes. That's because foods
like these are very hard to break down and your body must use up
a LOT of its enzymes doing its job.
And there are others
who are resistant to a healthy diet or will "slip up" more than
they should and eat meals that are next to impossible for their
system to digest.
Without the needed
levels of enzymes to break down your foods, you don't stand a
chance at efficient digestion. As a result, your body will have
trouble absorbing nutrients, you'll put weight back on and gut
problems will continue.
Digestizol Max can help give your body the enzyme boost it
needs.
Digestizol Max has 14
powerful, natural enzymes that work right along side your
body's own to keep your digestion in tip-top shape...and YOU
well-nourished, slimmer and feeling REALLY good in the gut.
And all of the
enzymes are plant-derived, so it's perfect for vegetarians and
meat-eaters alike.
So, Krista and anyone
else like you:
Don't waste one more
moment saying "Woe is me" or looking to others for
encouragement.
Let your results be
your motivation.
Trust me, when you
start seeing pounds slide off and your tummy troubles disappear,
a fire will be lit inside of you.
And there will be no
going back. Ever.
Let Great Taste
No Pain and Digestizol Max help show YOU a new life of being slender and
ending digestive problems.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS:
Colleen is down 42 pounds and has her colitis under control now
Sherry:
I
have been following your Great Taste No Pain plan and have lost
42 lbs. in 2 years!
Also, if I eat correctly my colitis is fine but watch out if I
don't.
If
any one mentions stomach problems or bowel problems, I have
referred them to you on the internet.
I'm a 68 year old, 5'-4'' women who now weighs 125!
Thank you, thank you, Sherry.

*******************
PPS: Eating
processed junk foods (most boxed, bagged, canned or bottled
concoctions) reduces your body's ability to produce digestive
enzymes. Your body uses LOTS of enzymes breaking down junk food,
and it can only produce so many over your lifetime. But Digestizol Max enzyme formula can help your system break down
any kind of food you eat and preserve your precious enzyme
supply. Learn more about Digestizol Max here.
