Go to your doctor, go to your nutritionist, go to your personal trainer in your town and most likely they will tell you cut down on fat. For your doctor you’ll eventually realize you don’t lose weight, and will prescribe you statins for your cholesterol.  For the nutritionist you might that you might have bad genes, and your trainer will train you more, and you will eat more to compensate for the lost calories burned to keep the body at homeostasis.  But there is one thing many won’t tell you to do, and that is cut down on the consumption of carbohydrates.

To help reverse the problem there are various ways, is to start letting universities know about the issue. From there people should start to become educated about the dangers such as doctors who go to med school (MSN 2008). This is to let people know that carbohydrates are the enemy when it comes to obesity rates. From there people may have start eating foods that won’t make them fat instead of eating foods that are supposedly healthy such as grains which has no supportive research proving that they are healthy.

However many doctors still think saturated fat is bad. Despite having a New York Times Seller Gary Taubes of Good Calories, Bad Calories, and the author of Why We Get Fat and What To Do About it appear on Dr. Oz’s show the doctor still wasn’t convinced about eating saturated fats. And still despite Gary Taubes letting the doctor know that he has been on a high fat diet for 10 years, Dr. Oz still didn’t seem to agree on saturated fats.  This is important because if doctors don’t agree with the high fat diet despite the research then the heart patients will never try the high fat diet, but there are other ways to get the diet across.

The last way to reverse the problem of obesity is to redo the food pyramid the United States did back in the 1990’s recommending no fats, and pure carbohydrates. This may be an indication as to why people think fats are bad.  This is where people started to get the idea fat is bad when there was no proof for that. The bottom of the pyramid could be rearranged where the carbs are at the top of the pyramid, and the fats and proteins are at the bottom. At least many people now agree with unsaturated fats so it’s safe to put them at the bottom meaning the consumption of these foods should be the majority. And with this people should eventually start losing weight and living slim. This era may just be called the slim revolution.

According to MedMD There is just two side effects for taking L-Carnitine in 2000mg doses daily One is that if you have hypothyroidism this may drop your thyroid levels even further Ok going back to my experience. At first I was fairly excited taking L-Carntine . There were supposedly many benefits taking L-Carntine.

Weight loss and faster metabolism. Neither of these things happened to me in fact I

• Gained weight

• Felt lethargic to the point was feeling I didn’t care about anything.

• I didn’t have energy

• I wasn’t feeling relaxed

Bad enough to the point where I had no energy, I wasn’t feeling relaxed and feeling like I didn’t care about anything. So I didn’t know what was happening to me, however I didn’t start feeling like this until I started taking the supplement. I looked up some side effects and I didn’t think that the supplement was affecting thyroid levels until I looked up what the side effects of hypothyroidism were and they are as follows. After I stopped taking L-Carnitine a few days later I felt normal again. So guys I don’t recommend this supplement as for the follows: L-Carnitine is actually used to slow down the thyroid for people have hyperthyroidism. So if the supplement is used to slow down the thyroid I’m not going to take the supplement. However maybe the supplement is working for you then why stop taking it.

Some foods that will raise your pH to acidic are

• Burgers
• White Grains
• Whole Wheat
• Meat
• Fish
• Hot Dogs
• French Fries

Now I’m not saying to stop eating meat, which would be lethal but because your body needs protein to process to repair your cells, but if the majority of your diet comes from this your body has to use up some of its minerals to balance to acid alkaline state. Meats and bread are highly acidic just like a car battery or worse. SO eating these types of food can corrode your body. Over time those minerals exhaust and your body can no longer balance this delicate balance causing disease.

Foods that you should eat that will raise your alkaline levels are leafy greens

Broccoli

Taking glutamine also makes your alkaline levels higher also as well

Quick tip

As soon as you get up from your bed before you get to experience your wonderful day, drink 8oz of water with half a lemon, or a full lime. This gets your alkaline levels up. When you get your alkaline levels up it will,

• Help you feel less fatigued,
• Get sick less often because bacteria and viruses are anaerobic , Your blood becomes more oxygen rich

You might have heard that lemons are acidic but when they go into your body they become a base.

To make sure your pH levels are on the 7.35 to 7.45 side just check it with pH strips

If you are on the acidic side then your body will waste your muscles to get the glutamine out of your muscles to create a powerful base to balance your acid-alkaline level, but in turn it uses up your muscles so you’ll end up looking smaller and weaker. Keep in mind that your body can only do this so many times till you get sick and that is just one of the many ways of your body keeps the balance.

My body didn’t have energy anymore I used up all the energy. I was using fat storage for energy and boy did that hurt my body. It felt like someone had just punched me in the abdomen.  I wanted to stop running but I didn’t want to let myself down.  I finished in 22 min a three mile race and felt miserable. That was me during a cross country race 1 year ago for my High School.

When you are running you feel like you are literally dying and there is a reason for that. Your body is does not have extra energy lying around for you. To compensate you have to use ATP*, fat storage, and muscles. Your body has no choice but to use this in intense activities.  To top it all your cortisal levels spike which is responsible for breaking down your muscles to harvest it as energy. In essence you’re using your own body for energy.

A cross country runner is the product of muscle wasting; they look like they are going to fall over with by 5 mph winds.   Look one up if you haven’t seen one already. It’s just ego games at its finest like a person trying to win at an eating contest to see who can eat the most cookies. No improvement just damage.

Although I had a great three year experience in cross country because of my friends, I’m glad it’s over.  I mean I wasn’t too aesthetically pleasing because of running so much. I used to be always tired, and sick (Immune system got shot).  So far that doesn’t sound like running was doing my body any good. But for crying out loud.

After running three miles every day you and I would think that I would be very skinny but I wasn’t losing any weight. This is what happened

·         I had a lot more fat than I do now! Yes I had more body fat by running 3 miles a day than running 0 miles today!

·         I had fat but no muscle. Zero definition

·         I was nowhere near a six pack!

·         My body was in survival mode since I was running so much; for evolutionary reasons my body stored fat on purpose.

·         I had a nice blob of fat on my abdomen for “survival” for it, yummy!

·         This let me down a lot because I was working hard; I was a try-hard. I still am but now muscle building.

I mean how many times we have been told running is good? Yet when we run we simply don’t lose weight we just get weaker. No matter how much we ran we just don’t seem to lose a pound.  Haven’t you seen people that go to the gym to go run faithfully? They lose weight but after they stop going, man they’re looking plump days after not going.  I don’t know about you but I think a stronger individual is healthier than a weaker person.Afterall aren’t older people usually weaker than younger people? So don’t waste your time by running.

When you run you also increase free radical production, reduce immune system, cause muscle wasting, and inflammatory responses. The reason running causes free radical production is because your immune system gets shot down so it has less energy to get rid of these free radical cells. It just makes it harder for your body to repair basic cells.

When you have less muscle you burn fewer calories. That was another side effect of running intensely. It ate my muscles away so I had fewer calories to burn thus more body fat.

Check This Out

According to Runners World ;for a 160lb man, it would take 29 miles to run off 1 pound of fat. I think at this point it would be better not to eat the “extra” calories off. And what I mean by extra is that don’t stop eating. Just eat at no more 3,000 calories if you are athletically active.

Solution For this mess

Don’t run. Running is not for losing weight. Running is to run away from cheetahs and gorillas back then. Lift weights instead.

If you run 60 min everyday or even every other day: Do yourself and your body a favor. Stop. This is only going to make you look like a skeleton and you already know about all the health risks.

Instead of running 60 min days do a sprint drill every other day for five days. Find yourself a hill, or just get 100 meters of space. Run those 100 meters about 70% of your ability. Run then rest for 4min and run again. Do this for 5 times. This pace allows your body to not waste and recover in time, and you don’t exhaust yourself. All you do is workout instead of eating yourself. I learned this one of the many routines when I was in track from my coach as a sprinter, and I never regretted that I joined back in the high school days.

One of my favorite workouts is when the track team went out to a super steep sandy hill with at least a 50% gradient.  It was so steep that the real risk was us falling from the gravity pulling us down. We only went up it about 5 times and that was it. I felt great and it was short.

Let me warn this routine that I just mentioned is not to build muscle it is to gain speed. If you want to build muscle hit the gym.  I’ll post some workouts later on how to build muscle if that is what you wish.

By building muscle you are gained access to a healthier stronger firmer bigger body just like those track stars. One worth noting is Usain Bolt. Wouldn’t’ you like that instead of being a flimsy runner?

There are just endless benefits to muscle building; which some of my favorite are:  I’ll burn more calories, more muscle more calories burned. You will have a rock solid immune system and get sick little to none.  Chicks dig muscles. You don’t screw up your joints besides you don’t feel like dying as to when running. You keep your immune system healthy so you wouldn’t get sick as much. And you’ll be a new person, not just feel like one.

Aren’t those enough reasons to stop running against your life?

What changes are you going to do in your routine?
