Weight Loss Tips from Zone Diet Creator Dr Barry Sears From His New Book Toxic Fat

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Dr Barry Sears, creator of the Zone Diet. Dr Sears is the leading authority on the dietary control of hormonal response. His theory is that you have to keep your hormones in a zone that is not too high or too low. He believes that the food you eat has the biggest impact on your hormone levels and therefore your weight and your health. He says when your hormones are out of whack you become sicker, fatter and dumber. His solution is to get rid of all the vegetable oil in your pantry, eat less processed foods, eat less foods with Omega 6 fatty acids, eat more foods with Omega 3 fatty acids, eat smaller portions, eat more vegetables and have some cod liver oil everyday. He says your Grandmother was right – as you will notice that is the same advice she was giving you. He also gave a great tip on how to check out your fish oil supplement to make sure it is good. Here is Dr Barry Sear’s Fish Oil test – take a handful of fish oil supplements cut them open and dump the oil in a shot glass – then put the shot glass in the freezer. After a few hours check on the oil – if you can put a toothpick through the oil and it didn’t freeze then it is probably okay – if the oil is solid then it probably is not pure fish oil and you should look for another brand. Dr Sears talked about the new Anti-Inflammatory Diet and what he calls silent inflammation. He also has a new book out titled Toxic Fat. Please go to his websites www.drsears.com and www.zonediet.com

She said an easy way to cut calories is to boost up the vegetables in your meal while cutting back on the meat.

She also said that the recipes are so easy a husband can do it.

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Valerie Orsoni, creator of Le BootCamp, Europe’s favorite online weight loss and fitness support website with over 600,000 members. Valerie shared details about the new Vampire Diet that she wrote about in the Huffington post – that is sweeping Hollywood. It seems those fad diet loving Hollywood folks are now eating something red at every meal. It seems like a subtle Twilight promotion, but this diet is very limiting – name some red foods: tomato, red pepper, red meat, cherries – see the list is pretty short. A better weight loss tip is to take small steps each day rather than looking for a miracle diet. Valerie says that every day just try an be healthy – that means move more and eat healthier. She also gave our listeners some of her favorite diet and exercise tips. To learn more about LeBootCamp go to their website www.lebootcamp.com and be sure to mention DRFITNESS when you join and you will get 50% off membership.
