Fix Your Most Important System with 5 Steps
You know how important the Structural System (fat, muscle, and bone) is and how badly we have messed it up in America. This week we will begin to change this by tackling unwanted fat. As we dive into this System, you will learn how to get it working for you – not against you.
How do we fix the storage component (fat) of the Structural System, and what can we eat to eliminate angry fat?
Let me give you five steps to implement the 7 Systems Plan. These steps are critical; do not miss it!
Jessie is a remarkable example of how powerful following these simple steps can be. She used the 7 Systems Plan online course for a fantastic health transformation!
Step 1: Inventory Your Intake and Categorize Your Food
It is hard to know where you need to go if you don’t know where you are now. Start by identifying your nutrients. Categorize the real foods you eat and those that aren’t considered real foods. Everything you eat will fall into one of these categories:
Real: vegetables, fruits, beans, good fats, protein, nuts (watch my video for a simple start)
Not Real: ultra-processed, canned, packaged, highly palatable, addictive, total junk
Step 2: Eliminate Ultra-Processed Food
We have been sucked into having these bad foods too often. Get them out of your house. Once in a while is no problem, but regular use will sabotage your health.
Step 3: Implement The 7 Systems Plan
Many of you have read The 7 Systems Plan book and enrolled in the life-changing The 7 Systems Plan course. If not, I encourage you to jump in and begin your journey to excellent health.
Step 4: Change Your Fuel Sources
Today we often eat more than we need, and our bodies might not know how to access our storage. We need to make our bodies fat-burning machines. Don’t worry; you will learn more as we go along.
Step 5: Experiment with “Fast-Mimicking Diets” (FMDs) and Fasting
If you are not using FMDs, you are missing one of the most powerful tools to regain your health. We will discuss easy ways to do this in future newsletters.
