The Way of Eating
Center True Diet is a Way of Living
What does the word diet mean to you? The word comes from the Greek word diaita, which means a “way of life”. Often you hear people mention a diet as a weight loss program intended to be followed for a specific amount of time for specific results. Once the weight is off, they go back to their old eating habits and the weight often comes back. A diet should be a way of living, not a short-term cycle.
To Live Healthy, a diet should be a Way of Life
The way of eating today, hardly seems to be a way of life. 50 million Americans go on a new diet each year to lose weight. Failure rates are estimated at 95%. It is not working! Is it time to make some changes and stop repeating unhealthy eating?
The best diet is an individualized nutritional approach. Achieving your healthiest weight happens when your body itself is healthy. The natural outcome is to retain your existing weight or weight loss if you need to lose weight. If you don’t change your way of eating you will not change the long-term outcome. The time has come to return to a more sensible way of living. But which way?
What will the proper diet change for me?
- Increase your metabolism for weight loss
- Hormonal balance and reduce the production of fat
- Being physical fit and healthy
- Restoration of your body’s natural state
Center True Diet – Approach Overview
Our diet needs to be the way we eat 24/7/365. The four plans CTL recommends are: Eat Right 4 Your Type – Mediterranean Diet – Paleo Diet – Paleo Vegetarian. Eat Right 4 Your Type by Dr Peter J. D’Adamo is the preferred plan. It has a list of the 12 food groups with foods that are highly beneficial, neutral and the ones to avoid. There are notations for the different foods that help with weight loss by enhancing our metabolism.
In combination of a healthy diet CTL uses multiple breathing techniques and exercises to increase your metabolic rate and decrease stress hormones. We need to have functional breathing and active-fitness to increase weight loss and improve our physical strength and performance during exercise.
To produce energy our body needs oxygen and will use one of two sources for fuel, fat or carbs, sugar-glucose. The #1 culprit for weight gain is sugar and refined carbs. They will only provide temporary energy, and if it’s not used, it’s stored as fat. Over breathing releases too much CO2 and causes oxygen deficiency. We are then starving the body of the needed oxygen to convert fat to energy. Our body will switch from burning fat to burning carbs.
Some say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. Do not fall into this category.
