Foods That Can Help me Lose Weight

When I joined a group of folks doing a guided home-based online weight loss plan with the funny name  "  Extreme Regime Fat Burn ", I was afraid I couldn’t follow the food plan.  It was based on eating low-carb using the basic foods from Atkins and Gary Taube’s book. Good Calories - Bad Calories. I’ve been mostly vegetarian for over 30 years and was concerned about eating all that meat again! I’ve known people who have done Atkins, lost 40 plus pounds eating pork rinds and pork chops and mayo and real butter with almost no vegetables. Their cholesterol shot up, and their skin looked gray, it was thin and kind of the color of cardboard. Or pork rinds. The weight didn’t stay off for long, they gained it all back and quite a bit more, as I was afraid they would.

But, I felt this would be different, because Dr. Heidi would be guiding  us along the way.  We would get a low carb food list and recipes.  Dr. Heidi Dulay is an expert on high fat low carb diets ans she know these foods are the best way to lose belly fat.  I lost my baby belly fat after 11 years.

It was day and night different - in a few critical places.
Here’s what I learned about both the gaining back and the cholesterol.
Cholesterol Atkins’s personal work (he was an MD - a cardiologist) showed that bad cholesterol went down on his low carb diet. He encouraged people to measure their cholesterol before starting so they could see for themselves.

Important note, that was 30 years ago. A difference today is in the quality of the meats and fats people are eating with low carb diets like Atkins (and all everyday foods.) Feedlot livestock is full of antibiotics and hormones, not to forget  they’re often mistreated and sick. They’re force-fed grain and soy. But their digestive systems are designed for grass. It may be that eating these feedlot meats, eggs and fats exclusively, as most Americans do, can indeed contribute to high bad cholesterol. With or without Atkins. People in   Extreme Regime Fat Burn have reported reducing their bad cholesterol. That’s likely because in the ER Fat Burn, people eat only ER-quality meats, fats, eggs and oils. ER quality means:

1) only 100% grassfed beef 2) pastured chickens and eggs (see mini egg video here), and 3) only non-damaged fats and oils.

ER Fat Burn participant and psychologist Al Frech, a diabetic for 30 years, worried that "eggs and other saturated fats" would raise his bad cholesterol. He’s on statins, he said.

But to his surprise, his bad cholesterol went down during and after ER FB. So did his blood sugar, which is now in the normal range (90-110) for the first time in 30 years, he said. Plus he lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks and has kept it off.

Dr. Frech had been on low carb for years and never lost weight before ER Fat Burn. Plus he was always hungry. Not anymore. We suspect his results are due in part to the ER quality of the protein, fats and oils he ate.

Gaining weight back If a person goes back to the eating habits that made them overweight in the first place, what should we expect - except weight gain again.

What’s been surprising to the ER FB participants is that the biggest weight losers have not gained anything back. One gal has now dropped 38 pounds and is still losing.  A computer programmer lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks, and five more since. As a programmer, he sits all day. And a month later, he has kept it all off.

Here’s what’s most gratifying to me: ER Fat Burn participants say they’ll never go back to their old ways of eating (industrial food) - they’re real food converts. That doesn’t mean they will never have ice cream or pasta once in a while. They will. Because they’ll be on their coasting cycle.

Hope that helps anyone who has the two concerns I did.
