Hey Merribelle!

Hey Merribelle!

How are you? Have you progressed from where you were?

I hear the calorie debate so often and I have to offer this advice..stop counting calories! It's very important to understand why your body is storing fat. Your lifestyle choices, along with normal bodily functions, create acid within your body. This acid is regularly removed form your body through urination, defecation, perspiration and respiration.

However, when you create too much acid for your body to be bale to cope with in this normal manner, your body turns to it's secondary channels of coping with the acid. One of these secondary channels is to store fat, in non-life threatening places, to safely store the excess acid.

The answer then becomes to alkalize your system which will allow your body to release the acid and thus let go of the fat. Counting calories is not necessary for you and clearly is not working for you. Counting calories actually can distract you from focusing on the much more important aspect of 'what those calories are made of?'

You see, if you ate 5000 calories of alkalizing, alive, electron-rich, natural foods and fluids each day, your body would shed that extra weight at a rate you would barely believe. Conversely, you could cut down to 1500 calories per day of acidic foods and fluids and still not be able to shed those extra pounds.

It sounds very much like this is happening to you. The alkaline foods I am talking about here are foods such as: avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, cucumber, onion, celery, tomato, spinach, almonds to name a few.

In terms of what you are ingesting, the fluids are vitally important. For optimum health and weight loss you should be consuming at least 4 litres of alkaline fluids per day. Search for alkaline water or anything similar and you will find what I am talking about.

Exercising more is not necessary. It sounds like you are exercising regularly already. I recommend simply focusing on keeping your body moving as much as possible in between your scheduled workouts.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please post them. I'll be happy to help

Tim

I'm sorry, but I think this is utter BS. There is no way someone can lose weight at 5000 calories a day, no matter what kind of food they eat. This is the kind of wrong advice that can really harm people on a site like this.

Perhaps you should investigate....

Hey Kara!

Perhaps, before you judge something as BS, you could actually apply it and see so you have a frame of reference to work from.

Everything I promote I have not only tried with my own body, but also with my clients and have not failed to achieve healthy weight loss.

I sincerely ask you to eat as I suggested. Try it for yourself and see. If you were to increase someones normal unhealthy diet to 5000 calories, yes this would be very bad for them. However, if you fill the human body with that much alive, alkalizing food then the body will release the fat stores as it will no longer have the need to store the excess acids that have been buffered by fat and various minerals and placed 'safely' in the fat stores.

The human body is storing fat to neutralize excess acids created by normal bodily functions and lifestyle choices. Heavily alkalizing the body, by means such as increased consumption of alkaline foods and fluids has the weight poor off quickly and healthily.

Blancita will become famous soon enough
I think the reality is that it would be literally impossible to consume 5000 calories of raw food or alkaline food given that most caloric foods fall into the supposedly "acidic" category. So sure, if you stick with NO GRAINS, NO MEAT, NO SUGAR (except in fruits), No honey, limited oils (the foregoing all being supposedly acidic foods) you will lose weight simply out of an inability to eat anything with much caloric value. The foods on the "alkaline" list have little calories, except the avocado and almonds as a few exceptions. Have YOU ever eaten 5,000 calories in one day of supposedly only alkaline foods? Doubtful.
