Introduction
The purpose of this report is to first make you aware of how we have been misled regarding diets, calories, exercise, and our trusted (American) Healthcare System. If you are reading this book, youve probably discovered that fat-loss pills, crash diets, fasting, endless cardio exercising, and infommercial fad solutions are ineffective, outdated, and pretty much a waste of time and energy. Many things have changed over the last century. We have overfarmed our soils, genetically modified our foods and raised livestock on hormones and antibiotics. Today 80% of our processed foods did not exist 25 years ago! The foods we now consume are nutritionally depleted and heavily processed. We have become dependent on prescription drugs to treat our illnesses, and at times one drug will introduce another symptom that requires yet another prescription! Over the last century we have been exposed to more than 100,000 new chemicals in our environment and our consumer products. These are just some of the many examples contributing to the evolution of our failing state of health. This report is the first of a three-part series: (1) - Diet, Calorie, Exercise and Healthcare Misconceptions. We have been misled by people weve trusted for far too long. (2) - Toxic World, Toxic Body. Find out the ways we are now exposed to more toxic chemicals than ever before, and they are having dangerous effects on our bodies. (3) - Nutritional Tune-up. There is a safe, natural, and proven solution to achieving optimum health. I hope you are able to read all three reports and increase your awareness of what we are all up against, what the effects are to your body, what proven solutions exist for eating and exercise, and how you can clean your body inside and out to reach your optimum health.

Fat Shapes the Body: According to Dr. Marie Savard, author of Apples & Pears: The Body Shape Solution to Weight Loss and Wellness, there are two types of body shapes when it comes to fat. The type of fat a person carries determines her health risks. Visceral fat, found in apple shaped bodies, surrounds the abdominal organs. Subcutaneous fat is found under the skin. Apple-Shape Risks: The apple-shaped body carries more fat above the belt line, has very little waist definition, and often has a full chest and thin legs. According to the Mayo Clinic, those with appleshaped bodies have a greater risk of heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes, gall-bladder problems, high blood pressure, and colorectal cancer. Pear-Shape Risks: A pear-shaped body carries more fat below the belt line and has a defined waist. The pear may have a thin upper body and full hips. Pearshaped individuals are more likely to have osteoporosis, varicose veins, menopausal symptoms, and blood clots. According to the American Heart Association, women who are pear shaped have a higher risk of life-threatening blood clots. For men the opposite is true: the apple shape carries more risk. Up until now, people would do some form of traditional diet that involved counting calories, decreasing food intake, or even fasting. In recent times our pill-equals-cure mentally has us looking for the newest magic pill or capsule for a quick and easy fix. At the time of this writing, the famous Doctor Oz is promoting a money-making magic pill to help millions of desperate overweight people lose weight. What these attempts all fail to do is give the body what it truly needs: nutrients. Look at the chart below; it speaks volumes. What do you think happens after fat is burned and the toxic impurities are released into the body? Do you think a pill, or less food or empty calories, will give the bodys 130 trillion cells the 90 essential nutrients it needs and is already lacking? I think not!
Three keys to detoxification and creating a healthy, lean body: - First, you have to assist your body in getting rid of the toxic impurities in its system while at
the same time not depleting it of the nutrients it needs. This is...nutritional cleansing. -
Second, you have to supply your body with massive amounts of nutrition but not massive
numbers of calories. This is...nutritional replenishing.
Third, you must assist your body in getting rid of the toxic impurities that it has been storing
in fat it has created to protect itself and in turn give it the nutrients it needs. This is...achievement and maintenance of optimum health!
This solution is simple, and proven and has been used for many years. Better yet, it is totally natural, as it does not include any drugs, laxatives, or diuretics. Its not combined with a heavy-duty exercise program, nor surgery or a magic herbal pill. Its not at all like a traditional diet, but it is about what you put into your body that will assist in nutritionally cleansing and replenishing on a cellular level. I will go over this in detail in the third report of this series: Nutritional Tune-up.
So now we have nutritionally bankrupt food dumped into a dirty body with really low absorption. What do we do? We shop down aisles of boxes, cans and vacuum-sealed foods. We eat continuously, yet we are never full. More calories dont fill us up. Twinkies or Doritos or Lays potato chips dont fill us up. The body is not hungry for calories; its hungry for nutrition. And when it absorbs nutrients at a level it needs, its not hungry for four, five, or six hours.--Peter Greenlaw
Obesogens--Not to Be Ignored
The term obesogen was first coined in 2002 and has been cited in over 20 peer-reviewed articles in the following ten years. The American Society of Endocrinologists has found that Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), or obesogens, are disrupting the function of our hormonal system, causing obesity and many diseases we suffer from.
Obesogens enter our bodies from a variety of sources:--From natural compounds found in soy and produce sprayed with pesticides. From artificial hormones injected in or fed to farm animals. From plastic pollutants in some food packaging, plastic water bottles, heated plastic food trays or containers, and even shower curtains. From fire-retardant carpets, drapes, or sofas and the interior of a newly purchased car. From personal care products such as shaving creams, colognes, lotions, shampoo, and hair gel. The list goes on! Obesogens disrupt hormone balance:--And dont think that because you maintain a healthy body weight, this doesnt apply to you. Obesogens act in a variety of ways to mimic human hormones such as estrogen and block the action of other hormones, such as testosterone. They also alter the function of our genes and essentially program us to gain weight. They are endocrine disruptors and are the same chemicals that contribute to hormone issues such polycystic ovarian syndrome, amenorrhea, low testosterone, infertility, certain cancers, and increased perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
The role of obesogens in obesity has garnered increased attention over the past ten years. It has been acknowledged by the Presidential Task Force on Childhood Obesity and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Strategic Plan for Obesity Research. Kristina Thayer, Director of the Office of Health Assessment and Translation at the National Toxicology Program (NTP) said, There are many studies in both humans and animals. The NTP found real biological plausibility. In 2011 the NIH launched a 3-year effort to fund research exploring the role of environmental chemical exposures in obesity, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. Many in the medical and exercise communities remain convinced that poor diet and lack of exercise are the sole causes of obesity. Yet, researchers are continually gathering convincing evidence that obesogens are altering metabolic processes and causing weight gain. So assisting the body in cleansing out its toxic overload may be more important than the evolving dieting and exercising we have been failing at.
Although some toxins can be sweated out, the fat soluble toxins simply cannot. So, the long and hard sweating cardio workouts may not be doing all you think! The weight-loss industry has programmed everybody into thinking that they need to track how many calories they burn when doing cardio workouts. Cardio has its place and may work initially, before your body adapts and it loses its effectiveness. Studies prove that people who perform long bouts of cardio suffer from decreased thyroid function, release more of the stress hormone called cortisol, and increase their appetite, eating 100 or more calories than they burn off after performing cardio. Cardio can even overwork your heart. Other than that the exercise industry has gone soft. Toning classes, yoga, 5k races, Pilates, and core training are all healthy for you, but theyll never flatten your belly or, more importantly, release the hormones that burn off stubborn fat.
In another study, subjects did 50 minutes of cardio, five days a week, and, once again, lost no more weight than those who dieted alone! [Source: Redman et al. Effect of calorie restriction with or without exercise on
body composition and fat distribution. J. Clin. Endocrinol Metab., 2007, Jan., 2.]
In a one-year study, subjects performed aerobic exercise for 60 minutes a day, six whopping days a week and lost only 3.5 pounds on average in an entire year! [Source: McTiernan et al., Exercise Effect on Weight
and Body Fat in Men and Women. Obesity, 2007, June 15.]
After reviewing 305 controlled trials, researchers found NO detectable differences between exercise and medications for treating pre-diabetes and heart disease. Exercise was found to be more effective than drugs after a stroke. Drugs beat exercise only in the recovery from heart failure, in which case diuretic medicines produce a better outcome. Exercise is in fact so effective that, researchers suggest that drug companies be required to include it for comparison when conducting clinical trials for new drugs. High-intensity interval training, which requires only a fraction of the time that conventional cardio does, and, has been shown to be FAR more effective. Its also the only type of exercise that really gives you an efficient cardiovascular workout. It doesnt matter what your age, fitness level, or limitations may be. Unless you learn to apply proper interval intensity to your workouts, youll never see your body become leaner. It does require some consistency and effort, but you can do it in as little as 4 to 15 minutes with several combined short bursts (10 to 30 seconds) of sprinting, jumping, cycling, weight exercises, or even a on cardio machine, followed by a recovery period to let the heart rate come back down before repeating.
High-intensity bursts have the potential to increase your metabolic rate for 38 to 48 hours. During these short intervals the adrenal glands release unique hormones called catecholamines. They are part of the sympathetic nervous system and force the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream. Catecholamines break apart stubborn body fat, ultimately causing it to be burned. Warning: Before beginning any such programs make sure youve conditioned yourself with Normal exercise on a consistent basis and been cleared by your doctor for higher-intensity exercise. Intensity levels are different for every person and are based on your current condition, age, gender, or other limitations. Gauge your intensity level and build up the intensity as you gain strength. Flushing out the released toxins: After a high-intensity interval workout, fatty acids and toxins will be released into the bloodstream. Because they can be re-stored as body fat again, it is crucial to drink a lot of water to assist in flushing out these fatty acids and impurities. Some form of cleansing, such as a daily cleanse is also recommended. In the third and final report of this series, Nutritional Tune-up youll learn about a unique nutritional system that assists the body in cleansing the toxins that are released when fat is burned during exercising.
For years the most profitable companies in America have been the pharmaceutical corporations, which routinely top the annual fortune 500 list.

In 2012, the U.S. spent 17.9% of gross domestic product on healthcare, nearly one-fifth of every dollar! [Source: Worldbank.] Twenty of the fastest-growing professions in America are in the healthcare field, a number that has increased 34% since 1998. [Source: HealthCareerCenter.org.]
Doctors receive little or no education on nutrition; they are trained to prescribe drugs to treat but not cure our illnesses. Over-the-counter, prescription, and even recreational drugs are known to contain chemicals that can build up in your body over time. When was the last time you saw a doctor for a problem or symptom and were asked, What are you eating? So you need to ask yourself, What are the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being?
The Older You Get, the More of a Healthcare Victim You Become
Nursing homes in America are filled with frail, feeble residents suffering from dementia. But many of these patients do not have dementia at all. Their memory loss, confusion, and delirium are caused by prescription drugs! This situation is so common that there are even medical terms for it like "polypharmacy," which means ingestion of too many different drugs, and "iatrogenic illness," which referes to any illness caused by doctors. According to medical journals, polypharmacy and iatrogenic illness are rampant. Causes of falls in nursing homes are the side effects of medications. Many drugs can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms and "drug-induced parkinsonism is frequent." A study listed 22 different classes of drugs that can cause Alzheimer's-like symptoms. Heres a typical scenario: A relatively healthy person goes to the doctor for a checkup and is told his cholesterol or blood pressure is high. So he starts taking medication, which causes side effects. This leads his doctor to give him a second drug to treat those side effects. The second drug causes new side effects, so the doctor prescribes a third drug to treat the side effects of the second one! The person's health is spiraling downward, and he soon needs people to take care of him. And everyone chalks it up to "old age."
The second report: Toxic World, Toxic Body will heighten your awareness of your exposure to toxins and their effects on your body. Ill provide a yes/no questionnaire How Toxic Are You? whose purpose is to demonstrate how living a normal life can result in massive exposure to toxins. I will share with you ways you can combat external and internal toxins. Download a FREE copy at: www.ToxicWorldToxicBody.com
The final report: Nutritional Tune-Up illustrates how rare pure vitamins, minerals, nutrition, and antioxidants are in todays foods and how healthy enzymes, fiber, and nutrients can be acquired. Now its time to change course--to take accountability and control over your health and well-being and to find solutions that can assist your body to take out its garbage and flood it with dense nutrition to get you feeling amazing!
