Dear Health-Conscious Reader,

You can drop weight and reduce fat without ever counting a calorie or stepping on a treadmill.  It all depends on what you eat first thing in the morning. You can program your metabolism for the rest of the day.(1)

When you eat a high-fat breakfast, it turns on your fat-burning metabolism. You'll drop fat off your body and use up the calories you eat for the rest of the day.  But if you eat a low-fat, high-carb breakfast, your body will hold onto fat, and your appetite will increase.  Your bad cholesterol goes up, along with your triglycerides and blood sugar. It sets you up for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and this metabolic maladjustment occurs independent of how many calories you eat or how much you exercise.

I've been following this research in the International Journal of Obesity. Before now, no one has looked at the timing of your meals and how it affects your weight and your health.  It's something we should know instinctively.  Nature didn't intend for you to eat breakfast out of a cereal box.  Your ancestors thrived on foods like eggs, meat and fish - this is what gave them power, strength and vitality.

I remember staying at my grandparents' place when I was a kid. I'd wake up to the smell of steak and eggs and race down the stairs to get my place at the table.  Your grandparents ate this way, too.  It's much better for you than what the media wants you to believe.

Today, you're brainwashed by commercials for low-fat granola, Cheerios and Special K. You think you're eating healthy products because they tell you its "high-fiber, whole-oat and whole-grain wheat."  But all those low-fat carbs throw your metabolism out of whack, and eventually, your health will suffer.

To help avoid that, I recommend you eat a solid, high-fat breakfast. You'll feel good all day with no mid-morning and mid-afternoon crash. You'll think clearly and have plenty of energy. You won't be as hungry, and cravings will seem to vanish. You'll notice it's easier to drop weight, and you'll feel like exercising again.

So, put down your cereal spoon and grab a fork and give this a try for the next few weeks. See how much better you feel and how your health improves.  To get you started, here are two of my favorite breakfasts you might enjoy:

1. Fried eggs with a side of steak: Look for cage-free eggs at the grocery. They come from antibiotic-free chickens raised in a natural, healthy environment. Fry them in organic butter.

Make sure to buy grass-fed beef. Animal fat is good for you, as long as it's from disease-free livestock that haven't been injected with hormones or fed antibiotics.  If you gravitate toward bacon, remember this can be highly processed food. So look for grass-fed and a brand that doesn't contain nitrates. They cause cancer and changes to your DNA.

2. Cheese omelet with salmon: Look for 100% organic cheese. Get it from grass-fed cows if you can.  You get none of the hormones and antibiotics and far more nutrients. Buy wild salmon instead of farm-raised.  It has no dyes, less toxins like PCBs, and higher levels of omega-3.

To Your Good Health,
Dr. Sears

Laura,

You are smart to not let Thanksgiving kick off a fat storing disaster which is what happens to most people.  During this time of year people either get much better or worse with no middle ground.  It is okay to eat to your heart's content on Thanksgiving and Christmas without having to worry about waking up looking like Santa the next day.  It is the constant intake of high sugar and refined food choices from leftovers, holiday parties, office pot lucks, etc. for the entire remaining five weeks of the year that add up to your waist line.  Email scott@infinityfitness.com and I will send you an article that reveals several proven strategies for preventing holiday body fat accumulation! 

Your new strategy should include weight training designed specifically to support your fat loss goals, and interval sprints.  These activities may be new to you, but you want to implement them now as this will be a great way for you to build momentum towards your New Year goals.

Stress Levels Add Up to More Body Fat

Do not put off success until January 1.  Too many people use this an excuse and end up piling on 10-20 lbs of body fat during the holiday season that could have been easily prevented with changes in strategy.  Building confidence in solutions to your problems will lower stress levels, which if otherwise left unchecked drive up cravings and lower energy.  This vicious cycle is one of the major hormonal contributors to rapid body fat accumulation.  You must choose to be successful by addressing potential problems before they arrive. 

Break the Fat Storage Cycle

The excessive steady state cardio is teaching the body store fat in many ways.  Without getting into a long scientific explanation, a combination of factors I can identify are increasing your fat storage hormones which also has a negative impact on metabolism.  Each month I have dozens of new female clients come my way in the same situation as you and correcting the problems involves a change in strategy.  Without the right changes you can expect matters to get much worse...

John,
 
Just an update - our run was a success - the day was beautiful and forced more runners out to Sunken Meadow.  I am attaching a copy of the race program that was included in all 520 bags, we added your name on the website (under support) and on the tee shirts, and it was announced during awards for the cancer survivor 1st and 2nd place winners.
 
Thank you for helping us make this inaugural run a success. 
 
We anticipated 300 - got 180 race day registrants - total 520. Great turnout - we believed this race was going to cost us money - but in fact - as it turned out the unofficial tally is about $8500 net - So Kudos to you for helping us reach that amount.
 
Have a great thanksgiving,

Jacqui
