Here’s an email I got the other day that I thought instructive for everyone…

“Hey Harry,
Do you know were I could find more recipes that fit your diet?”

Here was my answer….

Here’s the problem with “recipes”, and I’ll be super honest here… most of them are not good. What I mean is this, if you want the real deal information about really getting in shape, you have to eat what the body requires for it do to so. If you start getting too creative with recipes it’s almost a sure-fire recipe (pun intended) for disaster.

Recipes tend to make food taste “too” good, and if something tastes too good, you’ll tend to overeat it. It’s the human condition. WE JUST CANNOT HELP THIS. Example: you portion out your food created with this great-tasting recipe, and after you eat it you think, “man, that was really, really tasty! I want more!” So, ‘just this time’ you eat more (than you should have). See the problem here?

In order to lose fat for good, save the “tasty” food for the days I recommend you eat almost anything you want. You’ll get plenty of those days too, once every 4 days to start, and then as you get fitter once every 3, or even 2 days once your bodyfat gets much lower.

Don’t worry so much about getting fancy on the days where you are eating the healthy food… just eat the healthy food. This means meat, and vegetables. I eat the veggies almost raw, by buying frozen vegetables, then when ready to eat them I place them under hot running water and “heat” them that way. For the salads, I prepare them exactly as I talk about in the manual you have.

You can get as fancy as you want on the condiments, even going a little higher fat on some of them for your veggies or salads.

For example, for my salad, I’ll mix up a tablespoon of either olive oil (but usually a tablespoon of Udo’s Choice blended oil) along with salt, pepper, red pepper, cumin, curry powder, a couple of tablespoons of Greek Yogurt (the high fat kind – don’t be afraid here please – it’s not fat you have to worry about on the days your carbs are supposed to be low, it’s the carbs), then mix it all up and toss the salad with this dressing (I even use this dressing on the veggies sometimes).

I personally like a little kick with my dressing and this provides it. But you can get creative yourself and design one that suits you. Let me know if you do as I’d like to share it with others (that goes with anyone reading this too – please chime in with your recipes and I’ll give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down, in my opinion).

Remember, just keep the carbs low and you should be fine.

…till next time…

Most people can do difficult things for at least a short time before the pain of continuing becomes too much and they have to stop. The same principle applies to the goal of transforming your body and dieting. Many undergo drastic measures in their efforts to lose fat and get in shape. They want immediate results, and are willing to do anything in order to get them. Unfortunately, this approach is a sure-fire way to guarantee failure. You can endure the effects of drastic lifestyle changes and dieting for only so long before having to finally give up.

After having read to this point, you can appreciate the fact that there is no shortcut to a successful body

Drastic dieting is a sure fire way to set yourself up for failure. Fitness is achieved through an overall healthy lifestyle, not by extreme dieting.

transformation. At the same time, there is no need to deprive or torture yourself in order to achieve the kind of fit body you’ve always wanted. The feeling you should always have is one of looking forward to going to the gym, and of feeling revitalized by eating your prescribed healthy, nutritious, and life-building foods.

Because you are doing all the right things for your body your attitude and energy levels should be sky high. At no time should you feel like you are torturing or depriving yourself. If you have to resort to these kinds of tactics because you think it is the only way to force your body to give you results, then your efforts at transforming your body will surely end in failure.

Drastic measures will never allow you to permanently change your body to where you want it to be. It’s impossible to do, so don’t even attempt it. This is truly about creating a lifestyle change that you can live with easily and effectively for the rest of your life.

Once upon a time there was a turtle and a hare.

On a bright sunny morning the hare came upon the turtle and, seeing him walking so slowly, started to make fun of him. The tortoise replied to the mocking by saying, “Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race.”

At this challenge the hare laughed at the ridiculous assertion that this slow-footed turtle could ever hope to win against him, one who had never lost a race before.

They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he’d sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.

He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise, plodding on, overtook him and finished the race. The hare woke up and realized that he had lost the race.

The moral of the story (as if you didn’t already know):

“Slow and steady wins the race.”

This famous childrens fable is one of the most powerful messages we can hope to grasp and use if we ever want to accomplish anything.

Why?

Because we’re programmed to want quick results, do things quickly, get things fast, get quick results, and usually without much effort. We usually quit before we accomplish anything of significance, getting distracted by some other “shiny object” and start going down that path, instead of the one we were on, toward our supposed goal.

Eventually ending up nowhere because we’ve wandered all over tarnation.

Does this sound like you? If not, congratulations, you’re one of the minority in this world that sets goals, maps out the path to those goals, and continues on through thick and thin until you get to the “finish line.”

But if you are one of those that has had trouble accomplishing goals (like transforming your body, for one), then follow this 3-step quick weight loss diet formula. Read More→
