3. The Fat Loss Bible Colpo

In all of my remembered days, two truths remain constant: I believe in God, and I am fat. While there have been seasons where I struggled with my faith or my fatness, neither has ever left me.As a teen, I thought that being a good, effective Christian meant being thin. Fatness was associated with a lack of self-control, one of the fruits of the Spirit.

So I came to view my weight as an outward sign that I must not really believe or obey. I was terrified that my witness would be hampered by the size of my thighs. Surely no one would believe in the power of the Resurrected Christ if his Spirit wasn’t strong enough to keep me from gaining weight.My home church offered weight-loss groups as a Bible study option.

Like other well-known church leaders, the pastor talked about his exercise regime from the pulpit. He would not become one of those “fat and lazy pastors,” he told us.

One of my church classes kept track of our weight to find out if we were improving our.

Share post on.Bout this time every year I publish the health related books that I read over the course of the last year. This has been a practice of mine since the beginning of this blog. I don’t know why I do it, I just do. I read slightly fewer books this year than normal, but only because for the first time this year I spent a ton of time perusing other blogs. In particular, and many others, some of which I became infamous for visiting. My favorite of late is, which is pretty amazing considering that the author of the blog is on a low-carb diet.Anyway, here are the books I read in 2010.

Note, a couple, such as the Leangains Guide and Legends of Bodybuilding are not actually books. The good ones – those that I found to be most influential that is (this is not an Oprah book list) are highlighted in RED.Eating Well for Optimum Health Andrew WeilThe MS Recovery Diet Ann D.

I’ve already got 80-90 titles lined up and plan on spending a lot LESS time perusing blogs in the upcoming year. At the end of the day, books are better. They are a culmination of certain people’s overall conclusions that they’ve come to after decades of research and experience all consolidated into one organized, typically easy to read format. And I get to read them AWAY from the computer, which is key for my own personal health and sanity.If there’s a book out there you suspect I haven’t read and really think that I should, please include it in the comments section below and I promise to get to it.

Maybe not this year, but certainly by the end of next year. Anything that is remotely tied to health, nutrition, eating disorders, psychology, new agey stuff, and so forth is fair game. I got one to add. Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan.

It was covered on Sean Croxton's blog back in November so I decided to pick up a copy.I'm about four chapters in and I will say right now this book is definitely a cut or two above the rest.I would call this book Weston Price for the average person, but without all the WAPF baggage, and some updates on the science linking health, beauty, and epigenetics. I feel Price being vindicated.

And it's short, concise, and scientific enough I'm seriously considering lending it to my mom. If this book can't convince people of the value of the work of Price and others, then they probably can't be convinced.I also think of this book as the red pill for the average person because there's no ignoring the clear degeneration of the average person.

The science is simple, direct, and in your face (pun intended).As for e-books and long boring documents, I'm holding out hope for the Kindle. I got one for Christmas but haven't set it up yet. Matt,My recommendation is to quit spending all your time reading and theorizing about all of this. Spend your time working in person with as many people as you can so that you can see for your self what works and what doesn't. Real knowledge comes from experience, so get as much as you can.I just checked out that carbsanity blog for the first time and I was really impressed.

Some of the best criticism of the typical low carb/paleo ideology, and it is even better that she follows that diet herself.She also does well at pointing out that it really is as simple as a calorie deficit when it comes to weight loss. So many people are suffering because they cant see why their 'special' diet is making them fat because calories don't matter. Princess,send me what ever you have thanxanyone has Ebooks to share shoot me an email thank youMattI agree with JT,as far as experience, I've learned alot of things that are not published anywhere from working with people face to face. At the same time without doing a tremendous amount of reading i would have needed a lifetime of trial and error to make sense of it all as well avoid needless experiments.

Without experience I definitely would not have learned that long term success with weight loss is not as simple as a calorie deficit. JT-I do spend quite a bit of time working with people one on one (2-3 hours most days), although it's rarely face to face. It teaches me a lot, as do the comments section of this blog, about how different people respond to different things. I will be working with some people in Sarasota face to face hopefully in tandem with a dietician here, who I asked to do a blog post about her experiences working at an HCG diet clinic.However, reading a book about someone's summary of 30 years of experience has always seemed a hell of a lot more efficient to me than spending hours with just one person. Maybe that's not the case with turning people into human freakshows without obliterating their health in the process like Godfather Abel, but that has never been my focus. Not that or any other uses of nutrition to achieve stupid human tricks, which is why the copy of the 4-Hour Body I picked up the other day didn't exit the bookstore with me.Chief-Another Challem book?

I'm sick of that guy. I'll do it though.Princess-Just finished Campos 2 hours ago. Like proscuitto, in some ways it was even better than Bacon (Linda Bacon that is). Truly a good book. If everyone else's recommendations are as good as that one, you all earn gold stars. Matt,You may have misinterpreted my comment.

I didn't think you had a desire to get in the field of physique enhancement. I think it is important to do a lot of reading to learn what others have learned, but you have to put it into practice to really understand what works and what doesn't.Your own personal experiences have been very important to you. If you hadn't gone through it yourself, you still might think that low carb/paleo diets are great because all of these 'experts' write books on how they have discovered these truths through their extensive research.

Matt,I don't know if you are being serious or not but what you stated is not true. There definitely are health problems associated with excess weight. High blood pressure and mobility being the most obvious. I don't think yoyo dieting is good, but what sort of proof do you have for claiming this is the cause of the problems and not the excess weight? I know plenty of people that have never dieted and have health complications due to being overweight.Chief,Why do you believe that obesity is a sign of starvation.

I have seen you mention how this is associated in traditional cultures, and I don't think this is true. I have seen documentaries on several tribal groups where being fatter was a status symbol to show that you had access to surplus food. Eating junk food, being overly sedentary and yo-yo dieting and exercising are the predominant causes of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, visceral fat accumulation, type 2 diabetes, and so forth.We know this because:1) If you take weight off of people these problems do not go away2) If you change people's exercise and eating habits these problems go away, even if they do not lose a pound.Weight is only a problem when it becomes extreme (BMI over 35). But even then, there is no reliable way to get weight off of people (no recommendations ever given broadly to a group of people resulted in lasting weight loss in more than a few percent of people), and no one has proven that taking weight off of people at any weight equates to improvements in health.If you don't believe that, then you should consider researching it objectively like Bacon, Campos, Kolata, Pool, Szwarc, Gaesser, Fraser, Wann, and several others have. Matt,Again this shows that you need to spend more time in the trenches working with people.

You will see that there are reliable ways to get weight off of people and they will have health improvements. Getting in shape is the easy part, staying in shape us what is really difficult because most people just slip back into the bad habits of eating too much junk and not exercising.But, I do agree with you that if the desired result is health the focus should not be on weight, it should be on eating healthy and exercising in a correct manner. Jt,see ancel keys starvation study that matt spoke about recently if you don't understand.when you apply the starvation concept to obesity it makes sense and the puzzle is less puzzling and the results are not temporary like 'falling off the wagon' and eating junk food like you mentioned. I have apply the focus of a samurai to get off the damn wagon once my body is running right.all of my success has to do with recognizing this concept of starvation and my in experience it applies to both over skinny and over weight.You are telling matt to get experience in the trenches but you disagree with my experience over n over without an open mind.

I challenge you to become 80 pounds overweight and stay there for a year or so and then remove it and keep it off with under 20 mins of exercise a week and eating to your full appetite,then maybe you will understand some of the things i am talking about.there maybe a group of people in the world that associate fatness with a higher food status just like there is a group of people that insert rings around their necks to elongate them or another that put wood into their lips to stretch them it does not mean everyone did or even the majority did. Here's some real life experience for you. My BMI is 41. I do not have any health issues other than hypothyroidism. I did also have adrenal fatigue from not being diagnosed with hypothyroidism sooner and from not getting enough sleep and overworking for a long time. I've never been seriously sick. My blood pressure and blood sugar have always been fine.

My BG is better though on RRARF. Yesterday my fasting BG was 68. My mobility is fine too.

While admittedly I'm in no shape to run a marathon, I have no problem exercising on my exercise bike regularly and mowing my lawn etc (basically living my life). I rarely get sick. When everyone around me is coughing and spluttering, I don't catch a thing.The period of time where I put on the most weight was the period I was barely eating. I'm eating way more now and have lost a little weight and have gained more muscle.

I know my doctors are consistently surprised I'm not circling the drain yet, but I have good genes. I've always been active and ate reasonably well, although I am eating much better on RRARF. You might assume many things about me but you would be wrong.BTW, Matt I'm loving the fact you are becoming more HAES friendly. People who really need your help are more likely to listen to you when they feel they are not being judged unfairly. Thanks anonymous – for coming out of the 'trenches' to voice your experiences.

This is something that I never totally realized until recently. I kind of had this cognitive dissonance about the weight gain some have experienced on RRARF. It was strange to me that someone could gain lots of fat and have blood sugar, hypertension, and countless health problems all fall into the proper place at the same time. Now I get it.

The weight is more or less meaningless – it just happens to be correlated with the negative habits of eating junk food, having parents that ate junk food and dieted, dieting, total sedentarism, etc. I'm slow didn't you know that about me?I'm actually a neanderthal. I was frozen in ice and thawed out by scientists. 'Stone' is not a real family name. When I was thawed out my hair was all matted and since I was from the Stone age they decided to call me 'Matt Stone.'

What's crazy is that even though I was like a total Paleo man I still have discovered that eating more carbs is better – even for solid blood glucose numbers like ours.Sheila-Watching that right now.Chief-You totally spoiled the video man. Sheila was trying to surprise me.So far it kinda reminds me of a book I just finished called the Anderson Method.

Matt, I really appreciate the effort. It's better late than never. I know it blows people's minds that you have become more accepting of fat (and by extension fat people), but until you can do that you can't grow further in your studies on health.The thing I like most about RRARF is that it's simple. Simple every day foods. Eating loads of potatoes takes away any craving for bread and pasta.

Dinner tonight was a lamb chop, medium potato, sauteed mushrooms and two corn on the cob with lots of butter of course. I really don't feel like I'm on a diet because normally when I restrict my eating I end up bingeing on processed junk when I can't take it any more. I can eat a piece of chocolate without it causing me to lose control. Initially I started RRARF on four large meals a day but that felt like a lot of work to eat that much.

But then I did really well on that amount of food. I had no cravings for junk and I didn't snack at all. Nor did I put on any weight.I got my brother onto RRARF and he's doing really well on it too.

The weight is genetic as the only ones in my family who are overweight take after my father. My brother's health was very poor.

He only ate once a day and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I don't believe that he really had it, but he was severely depressed.

Anyway the anti-psychotic meds made him too paranoid to leave the house and he couldn't fill his prescriptions. Once the drugs were out of his system, he was no longer paranoid and he no longer looked like a zombie. His diet is so much better now even though it still isn't 'perfect'. I'd like him to stop drinking bourban and diet coke regularly and smoking.

But even though his diet isn't the perfect RRARF, his health is very much improved. He looks brighter and his mind and speech is clearer. He is more active now as his mental and physical health isn't holding him back. He has lost a little weight and his arms are looking more defined.

He told me that he had got to the end of his rope before trying RRARF and was considering ending it all. But when I told him about how well I was feeling on RRARF he felt like there was some hope for him. Thankfully he decided to follow it and it improved his mental and physical health in a very short amount of time. It's amazing how just eating the food can make such a difference.I've come to the realisation that even if we don't lose any more weight, our health is worth so much more. If I do happen to lose all the weight, I will send you a before and after photo to prove it. So thank you, Matt.

Keep up the good work!. Matt, I really appreciate the effort. It's better late than never.

So thank you, Matt. Keep up the good work!. MATT-The whole clip is just funny in multiple ways, I don't eben know where to start!The fact that the guy promoting this, is an actual DOCTOR, is funny in its own way.No,no. It's not a one way ticket to an eating disorder such as anorexia, because anorexia comes from an chemical imbalance (which is the exact thing you are going to achieve from undereating) DOHH!-And the fact that the interviewer is ALREADY eating disordered (and speaks hilariously fast) makes it all so much funnier!Ahh how I love that there is a place here on 180 where I can get understandment for my humor.

Everyone else just stares blank at me while I can't wipe the big grin off my face;-DCHIEF-You spoiled the surprise! -Why you little! Your post should come with a SPOILER allert!

LOL!Well I guess it isn't your fault that Matt is a stone head;-)(yes Sheila made a funny). JT-'Getting in shape is the easy part, staying in shape us what is really difficult because most people just slip back into the bad habits of eating too much junk and not exercising.' The question, though, is.why. do they stop exercising? Speaking from my personal experience, it was not by choice. It was not by 'slipping back into bad habits'. It was because I was bed-ridden with simultaneous diagnoses of anemia, pneumonia, bronchitis and ear infection.

Even after I recovered from the worst of the illnesses, I had zero energy. Walking up a small hill that I was once able to sprint multiple times at the height of my short running career felt like slogging through hip-deep snow. I was freezing and exhausted all the time.

Exercise was Not. And it wasn't because I suddenly turned 'lazy' again or wanted to take it 'easy'. It was because I physically COULDN'T DO IT.I started out 270 pounds.

Through various exercise (bike riding, dancing, weight training and long-distance running) and strict diet (a calorie-restricted, nearly sugar-free and very carb-conscious routine), I got down to 133 over the course of 2 years. I'm back up to 210-215 now, 1.5 years later.I haven't face-planted into a pile of candy bars. I am extremely selective about the quantity and quality of food that I eat. I stay active, going for long walks daily, and 3 hours of folk dancing once or twice a week (which makes most people sweat and get out of breath, but not me). Orange Sarah,I never said it was just because people didn't feel like putting in the work anymore. But, it is because they start consuming excess calories and decreasing exercise, just like your story demonstrates. This is why is is so important to do it the right way, because if you do it the wrong way it won't be maintained over the long term and you will end up hurting yourself.

You definitely need guidance from a professional with lots of experience dealing with how to do it right.Can you list what your weekly diet is?. Chief,I respect your experience, and I was not insulting Matt by telling him to focus on gaining hands on experience.

I was giving him that advice because I want to see him succeed.I'm very familiar with Ancel keys starvation experiment. And I know that extreme yoyo dieting damages the metabolism causing you to stay fatter in the long run. I just don't believe that traditional cultures associate obesity with starvation. In the past it was seen as a status symbol to be fat when calories were not so easy to come by, because it showed you had access to the most food.Me gaining 80 pounds wouldn't prove anything. I would easily drop the weight without any exercise or going hungry because my body would automatically try to resume my natural metabolic setpoint.

It would be much more difficult for me to gain the weight and I would have to make myself sick eating tons or high carb high fat food. JT-My point is that they start consuming 'excess' calories and decreasing exercise because the body physically cannot keep up the deprivation for an extremely long period of time without having an opposite and greater rebound, as Matt has spoken of time and time again.

Additionally, due to the stresses caused by cutting calories and increasing exercise, the body gains weight at a lower calorie level, which could hardly be considered 'excess' by most measures, and only would be viewed excess in comparison to the lower metabolic rate.My weekly diet is made up of varied, whole foods. Rice & oats, potatoes, beans, raw and cooked vegetables, some fruit, cheese and occasional meat and nuts (have to eat cheaply due to budgetary constraints). JT,in your statement' it is because they start consuming excess calories and decreasing exercise,'you neglect to consider the ' they ' in this case is almost never the 'person', It is actually the body's protective mechanism kicking in to regain the fat.they can stop eating just like some one can stop sleeping, however, eventually they will crash and give in to sleep and 'binge sleep' eating is no different.they are not in control and by making your blanket statement you make it sound like losing 5 pounds is the same as 120 just more of the same method. You are giving them bad advice and applying the 'lose a few pounds' method will most likely end in disaster or at minimum unhappiness when it does not work. JT,my point with gaining 80 pounds1. You most likely cant (which says something about the nature of it )2. You have most likely never been more than a few pounds ( no more than 15) overweight therefore do not understand it3.

Thanks, Chief. Chief,I have never been obese, but most of my family is, and I see what their eating patterns are.I have been as low as 150 and as high as 215, this is 65 pounds and is a bigger difference than what you have. I feel good between 190 and 200 so this is where I stay because it is where my body wants to be. You went from being fat due to eating junk and drinking pepsi to being a big thick guy by cutting the junk and eating healthy foods. This is good because you allowed your body to be where it naturally wants to be on a healthy diet.

You are happy being a big guy, but many women would be very unhappy maintaining a thick body even if it is natural for them.I know that. Just my two cents, I have been eating beyond appetite every day, coming up to 16 months (not restricting at all). I am only getting leaner, this without exercise.

Weight going down still and lean mass increasing. This is what is working for me right now. Even when I am not hungry, I still eat large mixed meals.

I can only equate this to metabolism increasing to compensate and rebuild years of wreckageI will be adding Abel style MET training in the next few weeks (been watching his DVD's), after a long business trip. As always I will report how things progress with adding back in some exercise. I do expect that I will eat even more, when I start to exercise again. JT,you had a 65 pound difference in fat? If you did and lost it with restriction and kept it off you are rare my friend.If you are talking about muscle it does not work the same way at all.I went from 273 pounds to 220 pounds with most likely about 25 pounds of added muscle thrown in to the mix.

Roughly 65 – 75 pounds of fat give or take.I know people that do the same thing as you, observing the eating patterns of others claiming to see why people are fat. You most likely make your family feel bad about themselves in doing so. The lean observer sees it from a lean person's eyes and it seems like these people are going out of their way to sabotage their weight management when the body is really in control and trying to fight it only makes it worse. A person in fat-mode can only dodge the donut for so long.you observe me through my comments and already have it all figured out. I got thick and thats what saved me. Again you are wrong in this regard.i would say the junk food that you were referring to ( which was maybe 20 to 40 percent junk) accounts for not being able to handle stress as well and lacking a few key nutrients that made my body function less effectively but it is most certainly not the key variable that made me fat and removing it did not make me Un-fat as a direct instant result.

Jt, continuedIf it was the junk then I and others would not be able to indulge in junk and 'get away with it ' the way I can when i am not 'wearing the fat suit '. It's not a simple no junk/ watch the calories do exercise right and all is well scenario. I assure you, one day you will see what I am talking about if you live long enough to see a change in common knowledge of weight management.BTW I am happy without 'abs' this is how I am meant to be as well as a little on the bulky side.

The women I have dealt with do not need to become gym monsters to achieve normal levels of body fat. I do not think many women are naturally very thick anyways. I'm not saying it does not happen just that it is rare. I'm a fan of HAES but not huge supporter of fat acceptance.Don't get me wrong I fully Accept overweight people. I just do not think any of us need to personally accept it for ourselves, give up and live with something unnatural. To me that is what that movement is about.

Deep down they do not truly feel they were meant to live like that but they roll with it because it feels better not blaming your self ( and they shouldn't ). Having trouble walking from fat is not natural at all, neither is having trouble putting on your own shoes. At the same time I feel for these people because this movement was born out them feeling helpless( due to the belief in calorie in calorie out ) They know even though they do not know why, that they are not in control.

Without a solution fat acceptance is a great idea but ever since I understand how 'being fat ' works I truly feel it is counterproductive to accept it. Chief,I agree with you that there is a big difference in people that are naturally fatter than others.

In observing my friends and family I have observed they ALL have a greater pleasure response to calorie dense foods. I have no desire to eat all of the junk they eat, but for them the desire is almost uncontrollable. In nature this would have given them a definite survival advantage, so their is nothing wrong with being that way.I don't think that there is anything wrong with you being thick because that is your natural body type. You did the right thing by getting in shape for your body type. Also, something else to add, any chance you could turn your attention more to children's health? I ask this as children do not have all the psychological baggage that us adults have, (stress/body image ect).

I am particularly interested in the area of allergy/atopic disorders and the recent changes in your approach to omega 6s. So many children of my daughters age (4) are afflicted with these conditions. I have taken my daughter's morning temps, they are very low despite a very hearty appetite and no eating restrictions that's for sure.

K, I know Matt read him at one point because I saw a reference to the book somewhere recently in the 180DH materials.Personally, Dr. K is freaking me out about gluten because my thyroid, although treated with Armour, is still not working so well and so I find myself asking the million dollar question: Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms?I threw this out there on the -rexia thread:I know, as a -rexic, I'm always going to be looking for the 'bad' food to avoid, and this one seems to be it right now.
