Diet Plans – Before and After the Plan

Are you interested in becoming extremely lean and healthy? If so, read on and decide for yourself what’s the best way. No pressure here, just lots of healthy real truthful guidance that is sure to improve your life.

Almost daily we hear someone tell us about the newest greatest diet plan. You know, the one that everyone in town is trying. You may even try that plan for yourself. Why not, everyone is doing it so it must work, right? But why would you even consider it? Didn’t you try last year’s greatest plan, and the year before that?

If you’re like most trusting Americans, I’m guessing that you have tried every so-called diet plan since the very birth of diet plans. So why do you keep doing something that’s really never worked for you? Maybe because it’s culturally popular and you are afraid you will be left out if the newest diet plan actually works.

My guess is that the powerful marketing scheme accompanied with the new plan convinced you to try it…the same marketing plan that convinced all of your friends to try it. The same friends that told you how great it would be, because someone else told them, but of course that person heard it from someone else! So then that settles it, it must be the mother of all diet plans!

That’s how mass marketing works and it has absolutely nothing to do with losing weight and improving your health, It usually goes something like this: marketing team 100 you 0! More often than not most people who buy into these plans end-up fatter and sicker than they were when they started. That’s how these plans are designed to work. Why you say? So that you will keep coming back for more year after year. That’s their exact plan and it works, just not for you!

You don’t possibly think they want to lose you as a permanent customer do you? I would love to lose you as a customer. That would mean I did my job, and did it well! That’s actually my intention, with all my heart I want to help you just like so many others that have followed my way!

Almost every adult we know has tried dieting as a fast and healthy fix at least once in their life. The only problem is that most of these nonsense (less than honest) fads don’t, won’t, and never will work.

They only help to hurt your health, not to mention the tens of billions of dollars spent annually by consumers for these dangerous products that don’t work!

You’re better off investing your money elsewhere. Many diet plans include high doses of caffeine and similar chemically induced products. Caffeine is considered an excitotoxin and is designed to speed up your body. The problem with this speedy heart rate substance is that it usually causes irregular heart rates and also over excites your brain neurons and can kill them. If that’s not enough reason to stay clear of these famous movie star endorsed plans, it can also cause irreversible thyroid problems and raise cortisol (stress hormone) levels. What happens when cortisol levels rise in your body? Yes weight gain…the very thing you were trying to rid yourself of in the first place!

Some of the most popular diets include the centuries old self induced diarrhea plan. Most of these products promise 15 pounds off in two days. But here’s where it gets tricky! These diets include ingredients that empty your bowels and cleanses the inner lining of bacteria. The problem with this kind of living is there can be some horrific long term effects. These diets greatly deplinish your healthy gut flora also. This could be the beginning of leaky gut (disease) for you. Yes you temporarily lose weight after sitting on the toilet for half of the

day. The summary is that you have stomach cramps, dehydration, and low energy all weekend as your immune system crashes to a new low.

Self induced dehydration and emptying your body of all healthy nutrients is not my way of becoming lean and healthy. When Monday morning rolls around and you start eating again, the 15 pounds comes right back on, plus a few more! This happens because your suppressed thyroid and liver are screaming for sugar and other weight gaining carbohydrates! And that’s where the addiction continues. Be aware that the 15 pounds was water (your hydration) and poop, not body fat.

Another not so good side effect from this dangerous fad diet is that some of the weight you lose is healthy muscle. There is simply no good (healthy) reason to force your body into something this damaging just so you can fit into last year’s jeans, for a weekend.

I have a completely different outlook on losing weight and becoming extremely healthy. It’s a tried and true way, the only way that works and is sustainable for life. John Rankin’s Way Back consists of eating real food that you cook, and plenty of it.

Eating delicious food until you’re full may seem somewhat unorthodox in the world we live in today, but actually we live in a very healthy world. We live in the same world as our healthy ancestors but unfortunately we don’t eat like them. There are many reasons why: marketing, addiction, economics etc.

I invite you to let me guide you to eat like we did back in a healthier time in history. I’ll help you become a lean and healthy person while eating delicious foods, not diet food! Follow me along on this journey. Hopefully it won’t be your last journey, but it will be your longest.
