Tis the Season to be eating

I am sure there is a lot of of anxiety, or maybe anticipation, for the upcoming food centered holiday approaching us here in the States, Thanksgiving. Some of you are probably worried about what will happen with your diets and your resolve to lose weight. Others may be looking forward to a “good” excuse to break their diets. I just want to give a word of caution and then I won’t say anymore about it.

We go through this same thing every year, and every year I will have customers that had been doing great with their diets who decide to go off for the day to celebrate, only to find out too late that they can’t seem to get it together again and they then spend months trying to get back on track.

Please consider all sides of this before making your decision as to what you will do for Thanksgiving and then the coming month leading right through Christmas and on to New Years. There will be lots of opportunities to eat foods that you have no business eating. Holiday foods are calorie rich and nutrient poor. For some reason we feel entitled to overindulge, but if you really think about it…why? They are really just like any other day on the calendar except for the celebrations we have attached to them. We are free to choose not to cave in to the hype and commercialism of any of the next few holidays rolling in.

I think there is nothing wrong with putting your own needs ahead of anyone else’s right now. The worst thing you could do is make a decision that could cause you to lose your way and fall back in to old habits. We all have family expectations to consider, but just this once don’t forget to put yourself on the list, and I don’t mean at the end! Base your decisions on what is best for you and make that priority #1 this year. By Jan 2nd life will return to normal and you can either be flying high with the success of having lost weight or you can be feeling regrets like you probably have many times before.

So what should you do?

That is not a question anyone can answer for you, not even me. You know your options and you know their outcomes. Just don’t talk yourself in to believing that you are immune to falling off the wagon. No one is immune. We are addicts in many respects of the word and like addicts we have a strong tendency to revert back to old behaviors regardless of how destructive they may be to our health. Just consider the possibility that you can chose to not observe the holidays this year, at least as far as the eating goes, or you can make the decision to not abuse yourself with food and only make good choices. The world will not end and no one will disown you. You are your own best advocate and you need to step up for yourself. You need to take care of yourself.

If you owned a business with several employees you would never expect any of them to have as much invested in your success as you do. It is the same with your diet and your health. Oh sure, people love you, but they are not walking around in your skin feeling your pain. Don’t put any of them in charge of making any decisions or choices where your diet is concerned.This is truly something that you have complete control over…if you chose to…and I hope you will chose to nurture yourself in to 2008 a stronger healthier person in body, heart, and mind. Happy and healthy holidays everyone!

Newest research on Gastric Bypass

There has been a lot on the news here in Utah about recent research that shows the positive effects of weight loss surgery. They state that the mortality rate is reduced by 30% for those that have the surgery over those that do not. This is taking in to account all the obesity related diseases that can cause death such as diabetes and heart disease.

It is true that the surgery can have an effect on these conditions, but that is only because these health problems are generally caused by obesity and inactivity. The surgery does not “cure” these conditions, the weight loss does. It is part of your body being able to restore the normal balance it is constantly striving to achieve that the extra weight interferes with. The fact is that weight loss, as long as it is done in a healthy manner such as with Cambridge, can correct most if not all of these dangerous health risks that overweight people suffer from.

So my question is this…rather then say that the surgery is the cure for these problems, why not state the whole truth, that weight loss and exercise is the cure for obesity and all the many health conditions that come with it? I also find it interesting that no mention was made of the potential complications that so many people suffer from after these surgeries. The death rate is still too high in my opinion and even though they have improved their techniques and surgeons are more experienced (hopefully!) in doing these, there is still short and long term consequences that many people are left to deal with. Regaining the weight is also still common and with that will come the same health problems that were present before with the added problem of a body that is not being fully nourished.

Cambridge is the perfect alternative for those that are considering surgery. You can lose the weight just as rapidly, only healthfully and without damaging your body or your future health. You will have the pride of knowing that you did this yourself! It is a great feeling! Your family will not have to endure the stress and worry of surgery and recovery and neither will you! From day one on Cambridge you will feel your body getting healthier. You will feel younger too as your energy returns and your body soaks up the balanced nutrition in the products. Knowing what I do, I can not imagine ever making the choice to surgically alter and damage my healthy digestive tract for the sake of losing weight when Cambridge is so easy to do, tastes so good, and is so affordable.

If you are considering surgery or you know someone that is, why not try Cambridge for a month first? It has a money back guarantee so you can try it and see how you do. If you are like most, you will abandon the idea of surgery and stick with Cambridge. There has never been another weight loss product like it! You won’t regret it!
