GET THE KNOW HOW
by Don Lemmon
Let me tell you how things should have always been and need
to always always be! You HAVE to learn to combine/mix/separate
your foods correctly meal per meal to get anywhere with
yourself. The stomach has no means by which to separate poorly
combined foods. The digestive processes of protein, carbohydrate
and fat food groups is so different that digestion cannot occur
efficiently if the wrong food groups are in the stomach at the
same time. For instance, the enzymes that act upon carbohydrates
are not the ones that act upon proteins and fats. It isn't a bucket of
acid like you think it is down there! The body wasn't designed to
release all the different fluids needed to breakdown all the
different types of foods at once! Come to respect digestive
enzymes and their limitations. Once you do, as I have witnessed
countless times before, you will achieve that dream physique in
a fraction of the time and see not only food allergies almost
completely disappear but health become restored. Why?
Because you're finally allowing yourself to receive nourishment
from properly digested mealsand foods.
Give it a little time though. Allow all those years of dietary abuse
to be reversed. (Divide your age by 2 and that is how many days
it should take you to adjust; about a day for every two years you
have been alive.) Your body given a chance, will wake up, and
BOOM! First, you will begin to feel 'light' all of a sudden and next,
fat will have began vanishing right before your very eyes! AND
YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN BE FOLLOWING THE PROGRAM
TO THE NOTE! (But try.)
Food Separating
That means, I expect you to make some mistakes! But that is no
excuse! Pay close attention! Improperly mixed foods sit in your
digestive tract and spoil. They go undigested. You receive little
or none of the nutrients you are needing and expecting to get
that are in those foods this way. Not only is that a waste but the
spoiling process creates toxins and other poisons that can
make you sick. That is why you should try not to let more than
2 1/2 hours go between feedings all day, every day. (Assuming
it takes 1/2 hour to finish each meal, and scheduling meals
3 hours apart.) In case something doesn't get efficiently
digested, then that last meal can be pushed through your
digestive tract by another incoming meal. Think of the food in
your stomach as a clog in a drain. Something must be put on
top of that food to shove it through by applying enough
pressure behind it that moves it down and out your drainage
(digestive) system.
You'll always be 'clogged' or 'backed up' unless this process
is taken into consideration meal after meal. Skipping feedings
is then, whether you believe it or not, worse for you than over
eating. Skipping a meal may mean allowing things in your gut
to rot. Therefore, eating only breakfast, lunch and dinner as
main meals without snacking barely nourishes you (especially
since you have been taught to cram all four food groups into
them, not providing the proper atmosphere for digestion
anyhow, and nothing is put on top of them soon enough to
push the food through before it rots). Four meals a day
maintains your metabolism (because it pushes one of the
three rotted meals stuck in your gut out); but five meals
speeds and six meals a day optimizes your digestive system.
Another reason your body was designed to break down only
individual food types at a time is the same as the reason why
multiple feedings are necesary; because the body is unable
to absorb 100% of anything all in one sitting and it takes
complete digestion to recieve anything at all from something.
You need to be able to receive your nourishment and that is
unfortunately only possible in bits and pieces that you can
handle, not from handfuls of pills or buffet style meals, but
from frequent, properly mixed meals. Properly combine your
foods if for only this one last reason (not just to remain
healthy, but) to LIVE LONGER and you will watch all of your
vain needs be met at the same time. Once you determined
how to fit all six feedings a day into your schedule (or at
least five), remember to also alternate between two or three
carbohydrate and three protein/fat meals. Two of your meals
are actually snacks, not full meals. Try cottage cheese, or
peanut butter (no sugar added) on celery as a snack or fruit a
nd yogurt or BALANCE nutrition BARS if you'd like that
instead. (I know, there is protein AND fat WITH carbs in
these bars. It's OK. The ratio of those nutrients all coming
from the same food source at such a calorie level actually
benefits you.) If you can't do three snacks and have time for
only five feedings, plan either breakfast and lunch OR both
snacks being the carb meals. You should never have two
carbohydrate feedings in a row. That sets off a trigger
response for your body to burn muscle tissue and store
fat, where as the opposite, two fat/protein meals in a row,
is optimal and gets you burning fat instead but there has
to be twice the calories in fat there are from protein.
Sounds good, but it's confusing because you haven't
heard this before? Beats me why not. But what I have
taught you thus far should have explained to most of
you why what you do may work and why what some of
you are doing cannot. Then again, I know some are still
panicking because it looks as though I suggest one of
those higher fat diets or something completely off the
wall like that.
Don't worry about the fat you eat or how different this program
appears to be. You are now going to be eating those taboo foods in
conjunction with one another in a total diet that allows you to burn
both dietary and stored bodily calories as opposed to continuing to
store them as excess body fat. I also realize a small percentage of
you think and feel you will not succeed unless you eat a lower fat
diet. You poor souls have been so abused! We have one group
going low-fat and the other screaming high fat! There is a group
somewhere in the middle though too talking about a moderate
carbohydrate intake. You've all been misled! It seems like
everybody around here is either giving or taking the wrong
advice. And who came up with all this stuff? I dunno! But you
are all actually somewhat correct believe it or not. (I will not
suggest you know why though.)
The problem here is this; too many people are pretending they
have discovered something by boldly promoting eating plans
they wouldn't have looked twice at just a short while ago. They
think their 'new' fad system is so unique at the moment because
it seemed to have worked for a few weeks on someone,
somewhere, somehow. It's really confusing because these diets
either exceed 30% of the calories in fat when not too long ago
the same authors were sticking to their guns and saying go low
fat OR there are diets professing to increase your dietary fat
intake by simply cutting your carbohydrates in half being all the
rage. Some other clown over there is still eating lowfat all the
time or touting their battles of the bulge, it's rough. (What I
mean is, most of those who push any of these programs
nowadays did not achieve what they have by practicing what
they currently preach and others refuse to quit pushing
programs that never worked to begin with. I will not discuss
the use of drugs here by the way.)
Pharmaceuticals are definitely not a part of a truly successful
program either, people. Some of the people you see promoting
'their' diets on TV had 'work' done too to look good for their
appearances ya know! Yeah, yeah, you thought the people in
the magazines or on TV that have been rammed down your
throats for so long and are in pretty decent physical condition
(or not) are the prophets of our times. They are actually
borderline clueless. So let's progress things one, or two steps
ahead. Heck, it may even be three. Who's right out of the
bunch? Despite everything, they all are! Kinda. The closest
were the ones who separated their proteins from starches. But
they still ate too much fat with their carbs! You know, olive oil
on pasta! Aargh! Some of what each of them say then IS true,
but most IS either NOT true (unintentionally), stolen from
someone else (intentionally), based on the results of only
the author, a small group of people (such as only testing the
program on a few college students or close friends who
probably 'supplemented' as well), is only PART of the big
picture, they dont know why or what part of it is working or it is
coming from the tail end of a bandwagon somebody's just
climbed on (thus, being stolen).
Let me put it this way. A program is only successful if it works
with and not against the natural mechanisms of the human body
for all different types of people ALL THE TIME. Doesn't reach
serious roadblocks EVER. Continues to work CONTINUOUSLY.
And stands the test of time. Most authors today haven't given
their programs that much thought or attention. It doesn't matter
how wonderful their marketing campaigns have been. Its
obvious they didn't read the most easily accessible journals
close enough before jumping the gun. They didn't put two and
two together first (going into it only having one third or one
half of the total picture figured out). No amount of arguing or
promotion is going to get your digestive fluids to react any
other way than they already do! Sorry! If you don't separate
and properly combine your foods, the diet cannot work and
they ARE WRONG. How could it be? These people haven't
had as much practical one on one experience as they should
have. Well, I did and I do. Do not get me wrong. Whatever
program it was you were on last probably did work for awhile.
Cut your calories back a bit and most all programs do work.
But I have a couple of questions to ask you. The questions a
re 1) When will that diet begin to quit working for you? 2) Why
did it suddenly fail? 3) Did it leave you with unattractive loose
fitting skin? And 4) How do you get out of such a rut? You now
know by alternating carbohydrate and fat/protein meals (which
yes, somewhat lowers your overall intake of carbohydrates),
you can work out the glitches of any program you have tried
before. If you have been eating low-fat, add a few low
carbohydrate meals to your daily schedule. If you have been
ating low carbohydrate, add a couple low fat meals to your
daily schedule. If you have been mixing proteins, fats and
carbohydrates on a diet that leaves you eating in a zone
of 30% proteins, 30% fats and 40% carbs, all you have to do
is to place the carbs you eat in meals separate from the
proteins and fats. It's pretty darn simple.
