Are You Overweight
The question of the day is: Are you overweight? Or as comedienne Artie Lange puts it, “Too Fat To Fish?”
There’s no need to go over the medical specifics, because it’s just common sense. People know when they’re hefting around too much flab. I know it, and my friends all seem to know it too from talking to them.
There are signs.
Taking more than 5 seconds to button up pants.
Your shirt is getting tight in the collar.
You start altering your golf swing.
You start going back to the buffet a third time.
Three flights of stairs leave you winded.
It adds up. And I could go on from here. Like when you stop suddenly, your arms keep jiggling.
We all need to start getting leaner, and we know it. We just have to do a little planning.
First on the plan is to get on pharmaceutical grade fish oil and stay on it. Which is easy, a couple capsules a couple times per day.
You’ll see the results in 60 days, but the internal benefits start immediately – as should YOU.
Then you start altering your diet in small steps. A great way to start is by replacing the soda in your diet, including diet soda, with water. My friend made this change alone, as well as beginning to take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and melted off 14 pounds in 8 weeks.
Six more pounds came off when he replaced his lunch burgers with salads twice a week.
He limited his ice cream intake to 4 ounces per day, and lost even more weight.
His exercise program consisted of hill walking in the beginning, and then 6 hill sprints per day, which took him about 15 minutes.
He looks 10 years younger today and is 35 pounds lighter.
He didn’t make any radical changes, or totally eliminate anything from his diet, other than soda. And he doesn’t miss it.
In fact, on a business trip he forgot to pack his fish oil. That, he felt immediately. After four days without a dose, he knew next time he’d just have some fish oil fedexed to him – it was that important.
I’ve heard that same story over and over. Once you get your health levels up, you’ll become much more sensitive to a detour. And that’s a good thing.
