Basic Training is a good place to start.

There are laws in the universe that no amount of thought or denial can change. Gravity is one of them. Others include things like, calories consumed must be burned off or it will go to fat storage. Laws of the universe can not be denied. Nor can there be real life changes with a pill or drug. Let that sink in! Since when are pills more intelligent than Gods natural cures?

Basic Training:

 We will start with food. Food is fuel for your body. (It is not a form of entertainment or stress relief.) What you eat literally determines how you feel, how you look, and how long you will live. Occasional nights out on the town are ok but most of us have every day out on the town and wonder how we are going to lose weight.

DR. DAVE SAYS: Eat good 80% of the time and then you can afford yourself a night on the town to pig out.

What should you eat? This can get confusing if you read all those diet books because most of them are written by people with no scientific back groud what so ever! It is really quite simple. Do not eat things, on a daily basis, that God did not make. Example: Yes, grains are natural. No, whole grain bread is not. Bread does not grow on a plant, it is manufactured. You can not take something natural, convert it into something else, and still expect the same benefits from eating it. Take this philosophy to every kind of food you eat and watch your body transform itself into something wonderful.

DR.DAVE SAYS: The 40-30-30 Principle works for everyone. Eat 40% of your diet in protien, 30% in fat, and 30% in carbohydrates.

Food Basics: Protien is anything that walks, swims, or flies. There are a few vegies that have protien in them as well. Fat either comes in animal or vegetable form. Vegetable fat being better. Carbohydrates are from plants. All plants or trees produce carbohydrates. Anything processed or manufactured is probably too high in carbohydrate or fat to be consumed on a regular basis. Foods in their natural state are intended for our consumption, and therefore much easier for the body to digest and turn into healthy cells. Processed foods are difficult, if not impossible for our bodies to deal with.

DR. DAVE SAYS: Look at your plate before you eat. Is what you see something you could go outside and hunt or pick? If not, consider eating less of it. Or none at all! If you are good all week, reward yourself with a Saturday night out.

More food basics: When deciding what to eat, non traditional is OK. Eat tuna for breakfast if you want to. Mix it up and keep variety in your diet. Who says you have to eat cereal for breakfast? Lunch can be an omlette. It's high in protien and the carbs are in the middle! 

MEAL SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE         40-30-30 SAFE. 

Breakfast: A can of tuna, a spoonful of mayo, a few slices of cheese. or

Two pieces of flourless bread with organic peanut butter.  or

A two egg omlette with a vegie in it.

Drink OJ or any other fresh squeezed juice. No juice from concentrate! 

Lunch: Turkey burger and eat half of the bun. Drink water. or

Salads are good. Watch out for creamy dressings...not good.

High Protien smoothies are good. They usually taste like chocolate and peanut butter!

Dinner: This is a time to get a little of everything if you want. A small slab of meat(chicken, or fish), some whole vegies, and a glass of wine. Nothing tricky here, just the basics.

Note: Butter in moderation is ok. No artificial anything! Mayo is ok. Vegie oil based dressings are the best. All your spices are ok too. These things are all good for making that yucky good stuff taste better.
