Eating Right is Not Counting Calories

It is amazing when you see things clearly.

By my own devices I have narrowed my diet down to eating mostly raw foods with very little sugar, flour, bad fat, nor many foods that are processed or sold in boxes or cans.

I have lost weight each year, maintained it and gotten very lean. It has allowed me to feel great, look better, and avoid any type of sickness. My recent life insurance exam said I was great in every category.

Then I ran into someone who says it even better and provides more options. Isabel de los Rios has a diet guide that is actually more restrictive and more liberal than my own plan.

She doesn’t call it a diet, she calls it the Diet Solution and it is featured on this site.

She restricted a few things I used like sweet and low, I Can’t believe its not Butter, and my salad dressing. I know those are minor points, but everything that gives the liver relief creates more fat burning capacity.

Where she supercedes me is that she creates fat burning foods in every meal, a wider variety of foods, better proportions, unbelievable recipes and more food than I eat. She makes it so much more fun to eat healthy than what I do.

I stopped counting calories a long time ago. I have lost 30 pounds in 3 years and recently lost 10 pounds in the 5 months I have been at the beach but actually lost it in a few months from better eating and exercise.  Now at 188 pounds, I am heading for my high school weight of 175 pounds when I participated in sports year around.

I can do the same now because I live at the beach and love to run and surf.

But severe eating and severe exercise are not necessary. The better you eat, the more lean your body becomes. Exercise is important to stay healthy in body and mind but only minimally necessary for losing weight.

That is because your body needs lots of energy to function and if you keep your digestion stoked with fat burning and lean foods it will tear the fat off as it seeks fuel for operating.

The most important life style organ is your brain. The right foods give the brain the supplements and energy it needs to be clear, alert and sharp. Because I am a writer,  my brain function is a prime concern.

You could go my way which is, I have to admit,  pretty severe and plain or you could go her way which is more clearly explained, more food, and more variety. Her recipes, which I am now using definitely have a nutritionist’s  touch.

The ten minute video attached tells everything she recommends and how to start adding and eliminating today.

I make money from this process, but it is pretty minimal compared to what it could do for your life. I haven’t needed a doctor of any kind for 15 years, so that alone is worth expense money and down time.

I also anticipate I will not die or be disabled from heart disease or cancer.  What’s that worth?

I want to exercise, feel good, look good, operate at my optimum, and live to raise grandchildren. What are your goals?
