The World Health Organizations recommendation on sugar intake is 5 percent of your daily calorie intake. For an adult of a normal body mass index (BMI), that works out to about 6 teaspoons -- or 25 grams -- of sugar per day.I know what you're thinking
What about all those studies showing yogurt has helpful bacteria? What about the stories I read about it having pre-biotics to help my stomach? Isn't that what Activia is for? Why would my doctor tell me to eat it if it's not good for me? Are you suggesting that all the scientific studies are wrong?
Just Calm Down There Big Shot
When studies are conducted on yogurt, they are not conducted using Yoplait yogurt or Dannon's. The studies are conducted on pure, unrefined yogurt. Not the stuff you buy at the store. Real yogurt tastes bitter, is thick and goes bad in a matter of days. It is unmarketable to the public (generally speaking).
It IS good for you, but you'd never to eat it, it wouldn't be able to be widely sold because it would go sour too quickly. Both manufacturers and stores would lose profit. Then somebody got an awful idea, a wonderfully awful idea...
(what i picture in my minds eye)
In some all white standard office sits a table of three. The boss, the employees, and a flow chart across the room showing nothing but red. After the silence became too deafening to bare, poor, thin Charlie clears his throat and speaks up to the stone faced man who's his employer. "Hey Mr. Bossman... what if... this is just an idea here I'm floating out there.. just setting it's sails... what if we added a massive amount of sugar to the yogurt and artificial chemicals to preserve it? It could last for weeks!" "Charles, damn you, that's a brilliant idea! But how will we market it?" "Well, Sir, Stanley and I here... umm.. we figured since it WAS yogurt, we could market it as a health food, and, you know, the studies should back us." "Get Mason on the phone, we have some work to do.." QUICK TEST! HOW MUCH SUGAR SHOULD YOU EAT IN A DAY?
You Shouldn't be eating more than 25g of sugar a day, or about 5% of your caloric intake.
Keep that in mind while we browse the yogurt section together. Okay so let's listen to Dr.White Coat and buy some yogurt.But what I find in the store is a little different than the ad I saw...
I'm no rocket scientist, but if the max is 25g for an adult, then it should be about half that for a child right? Looks like our kids are getting their entire day's serving of sugar in one overpriced pouch of "yogurt". Maybe the more expensive fancy stuff is better?
Okay Dr. White Coat, tell me again why I should be eating this stuff? Oh.... for the pro-biotic (or pre-biotic) benefits right?
Great. Let's get into it then shall we? Bacteria is alive. Meaning, it can die.

| We love David Wolfe, and what he's saying is 100% true. Adding high volumes of water to your day will not only will help you stay hydrated (duh), not only will help you stay fuller feeling (duh) but water will also help remove build up in your intestines, causing... you guessed it: Weight Loss. So why are you paying these people? |
Secret #2 Raw Greens
Raw fresh greens, like the ones shown above will increase your weight loss 10 fold, and will do so quickly.
Eating raw greens in larger amounts will help push through any blockage, and, when drinking more water, will begin to provide oxygen and nutrients to your intestinal tract. Truth.
Most weight loss centers will increase their patients protein via advising eating more meat the first week or two or by offering "supplement" shakes, bars or drinks. Women typically lose 5-7lbs that first week and men lose nearly double.

So Why aren't you telling me to eat more meat?"
Great question you snazzy reader you! Most patients begin to suffer from mild to moderate constipation within 2-4 weeks of a high protein diet, for a few reasons.
1. Consuming artificial shakes/bars/drinks take longer to digest and are loaded with chemicals you don't want and your body doesn't recognize.
2. Most meats today are not "clean". The animals were fed all manner of poisons, later their meat was injected with more chemicals making it even more difficult for the patient's body to move out waste. This creates constipation, fatigue and most importantly, creates a buyer, not a healthy educated patient.

Secret 3: Removing the Carbs
You've heard the drill. Carbs are bad. Carbs make you fat.
But that's like saying all cars are Fords. Not ALL carbs are bad. Weight Loss Centers remove or restrict carbs from the diet either for a short period of time, or throughout the remainder of the weight loss phase.
But that's like saying all cars are Fords. Not ALL carbs are bad. Weight Loss Centers remove or restrict carbs from the diet either for a short period of time, or throughout the remainder of the weight loss phase.
So Why Aren't You Telling Me To Stop Eating Carbs?"
Because you NEED carbohydrates. If we removed carbs from your diet, you might feel fantastic for a few days or a week, but the after affects of depriving yourself quickly become apparent.
1. Once you go down this path, your body will go into "emergency mode" (ya that exists). You will lose quite a bit quickly, but your body will immediately put that weight back on as soon as your out of the food desert.
2. Most patients see quick results because most carbs eaten in the American diet turn immediately into sugar in our bodies, which get stored in fat/water cells until needed. Stop the inflow of sugar (masked as carbs) and the patient loses weight dramatically; however this is typically short lived because eventually, everybody wants to actually EAT and this "no carb diet" becomes self defeating.
3. Our bodies are not designed to only eat from a few food groups. We need all the rich colors and flavors that all foods have to offer; each food source offers it's own unique strand of acids and cells, that, when combined with other natural foods create a healthy body- not a false short term victory.

They know the retention rate but already have your cash
Weight loss companies know that you will lose weight steadily for 3-4 weeks then slowly see the affects of the high protein/no carb/magic pill cure AND they already have your money in house, or you are in the process of paying monthly.
Most weight loss retention rates are 4-6 weeks.
In order to help you pass this "plateau" your friendly weight loss consultant will advise you try some more of their supplements or services, making it seem as if it's your fault, effectively hoodwinking you into spending more money to see short lived results.

Ya- I'm talking to you
Each of these companies employs these tactics to gain patient trust with fast weight loss and half truths, but in none of their programs do they TEACH their clients long lasting methods of living a healthy life through diet, as it's intended.
And really, if you look at how Monsanto is selling and then poisoning land to poor farmers, it's no shock to see the same sleazy methods applied to us, the human body.
( buy, quick results, decline, buy more, boost, decline, buy more...)
Their goal is to get the maximum amount of money from you during the retention period as possible.

Don't be fooled anymore by these liars. Their goal isn't to create a cure, it's to create a customer.
So What Do I Do Now?"
Everyone is in a unique place in life with unique circumstances. Find below which best matches your needs and let's go! You CAN lose weight and you can do it the RIGHT way.
The Eat2Live way.
The Eat2Live way.
You can't expect to feel any different if you keep eating the same things. Each day is a new day to try again, and it starts as soon as you get out of bed.
Eating a healthy breakfast everyday sets you up for success for the rest of the day!
So what are some good options? There is a slew of information out there on regimented eating programs, or counting calories, or nuking whatever frozen cardboard meal is in the freezer.
But what are those methods actually teaching you?
They are only teaching you to be further reliant on them. Will you eat frozen foods forever or count how many calories are in a turkey sandwich? Will you deny yourself carbs all day or eat only foods that have 3 syllables?
Right now, as there are millions of Americans overweight, there are millions more who go hungry or die of starvation. Yet we pay companies to help us lose weight. Do you see the irony here? The starving in North Korea would be disgusted to learn that you spend money to stop eating. The women in Africa who walk 5 miles a day to fetch water from a muddy well would be shocked to know you “just can't drink water”.

The morning boost that you need has to be in your brain. Retrain your brain to see the world as it is, rather than how dieting companies or magazines want you to see it.
Every morning, start your day out with a cup of warm lemon water* before you do anything else. This helps flush out toxins and reset your pH balance. Why does this matter? When you have an abundance of toxins that your body can not filter out, you create fat cells. The fewer toxins that you have in your body, the fewer fat cells that your body will create.
Resetting your pH allows for better digestion of your breakfast.
Want a cup of coffee with your breakfast? Sure! Read about creamers and coffee here*.
Eat2Live recommends eating protein and antioxidants for breakfast, not a fruit nut smoothie or a protein bar that tastes like dirt!
I'm talking real food. Always keep fresh berries in the house, a great source of antioxidants.
Having a fresh cup of blackberries or raspberries in the morning will change your world.
For protein, Eat2Live recommends eating organic eggs (from a real farm where possible). 2 eggs a day is a safe bet when losing weight. Whether it's for breakfast, in a salad, or hard-boiled as a snack, the protein in eggs gives you energy! Protein feeds your muscles and is also one of the essential building blocks for your brain. So eat up! If you prefer chicken, then eating 1 ORGANIC chicken breast in the morning does the same trick, adding variety.

So, you have decided to boost your breakfast and boost your weight loss. Great! If you also want to increase your energy level, then you must take in a large amount of phytochemicals.
Juicing is the quickest way to accomplish that goal. You can read about juicers and juice recipes*.
Phytochemicals are micro-nutrients derived from plant-based cells. The most crucial ones come one from leafy greens.
Now, unless you’re planning on eating 3 handfuls of spinach and kale every morning, (and maybe you are?), juicing is the best way to get in the micronutrients that you need. Juicing will also speed up your weight loss immensely. Greens are loaded with iron, which many people are deficient in. (My theory on why men want steak and women salad, both are craving iron). If you need help getting started on juicing, contact MyCoach!
Breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day and should be consumed slowly. Make time for it. Starting out your day with warm lemon water, protein, antioxidants, and 2 cups of fresh juice will change your life, and you can start doing it tomorrow!
Most folks like to add oatmeal or gluten-free toast to their meal. We highly recommend eating 1 handful of unsalted nuts in the morning. Nuts are high in EFAs, (essential fatty acids) which most women lack in their diets.
Eat2Live recommends adding in the good stuff at the beginning of your day, rather than taking food away from you. Add some onions and red peppers to your scrambled eggs. Eat a grapefruit with breakfast. Get creative and add in beans and a little cheese or oven-baked cinnamon apples. All of these food additions not only fill you up, but actually aid in weight loss at the same time!

Helpful tips:
- Use real butter
- Limit your sugar intake
- Remove gluten from breakfast
- Use non-iodized salt
Since your food will digest faster and be absorbed faster, you'll also feel hungry more often. You will need to eat more often, but your body will become cleaner and healthier with every bite!
There are lots of reports that will tell you whatever you want to hear on this topic. But I say to you, if you are hungry, truly hungry, then you need to eat. Your body knows what it needs.
There's a huge difference between being hungry and cravings.
If it's not healthy for you, then you don't NEED it.
You don't need it to survive.
So, be strong enough to say to yourself, “I don't need this to survive.”
I say it to myself (sometimes loudly like I have schizophrenia), “No! It does nothing for you!”
Eat clean and eat often. Want fast food? Bananas have plenty of potassium, and are high in natural sugar. Apples are filling and provide a great vitamin boost. Grapes are juicy and sweet. All women should be eating pineapple everyday if they can, for female health. There are many grains you can eat; nuts, seeds and the like. Find a quality brand to buy that's certified organic and LOW IN SUGAR/SALT. Usually, if it's pre- packaged, it's loaded with either sugar or chemicals. Try to stay natural whenever possible. Read the labels.
Remember that sugar is a drug and it's addictive. The more you eat, the more you will want; and we all know how that cycle works. Eating fruit in the mid-morning is a great way to combat that craving, along with a tall glass of…you guessed it… Lemon water.
Boost your energy, your morning, and your weight loss by eating clean and eating often!
