Unstick Your Brain

Did you know it's possible to make unwanted old habits or emotions vanish?

And the weird thing? You can do it in minutes, not years. You may not need therapy or medication or a lobotomy to zap habits or emotions you want to eliminate or change.

Of course what seems like a miracle is always a little weird and out of the ordinary...see for yourself.

Wild, huh?

P.S. What habit or emotion would you bring to the session to banish forever from your mind?

P.P.S. Early bird price good until March 20.

"We ate our way into this problem and we will need to eat our way out."

From the owners of a new, healthy pizza delivery place:

"Two of every three adults in the US are overweight or obese, 20 million people have diabetes, our joints and guts ache, our arteries are clogged, hypertension is common, Alzheimer’s is on the rise, as are autism, asthma, and we are popping more pills than any generation in human history. Americans are sick people. Game over. We lost and its time for everyone in the food chain to step up to the plate - and that means fats food as well. We ate our way into this problem and we will need to eat our way out..."

Their marketing approach?

"Our business model is not built on “pleasing all the people all the time” but rather “offering 100% of what a small percent of the population is seeking with increasing frequency.”

Amen. And I know you are part of a small percent seeking to eat your way back to health. And for you, Extreme Regime Fat Burn (Dr. Heidi tells what you get video) is now open for the March cycle.

Scanners see here. Coming?

Are you dieting backwards?

Dr. Heidi's next ER Fat Burn Program is open for registration here.

Here's the standard approach with most diets. Start with two things:

1. Restrict (count) your calories.

2. Exercise an hour a day.

But this, argues Dr. Heidi, is doing it backwards.

If your body isn't burning fat like it should, with its own fat burning furnace, you need to first get your body healthy enough - with a nutritional eating program - to start burning fat again. Once you have your body working on the inside, THEN do some exercise. Plus when your body is healthy again, you can more easily become aware of how much of the different foods it takes to satisfy you.

Dr. Heidi's ER Fat Burn program requires no exercise for that first 5 week program. Fine if you do, fine if you don't. And no counting anything, no starvation. The opposite of the status quo.

And guess what - her Extreme Regime Fat Burn program has been unusually successful. Most folks lose weight and keep it off. And many ailments just disappear. And after that, people just WANT to start exercising - because their bodies feel healthier from the inside out.

A new cycle of the ER Fat Burn program starts March 14. You can hear Dr. Heidi describe what you get here. For the scanners, here are the steps in the ER Fat Burn program:

1. Adjust your attitude: You are NOT NOT NOT on a diet. You're a detective, looking for the key to your fat burning furnace...

2. Select your fat burning foods (all healthy, no toxic or artificial stuff) and make your meal models for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

3. Learn which super foods amp up fat burn and good nutrition

4. Learn how to deal with cravings, digestive problems and elimination issues, and possible detoxing reactions from switching to good nutritious foods.

5. Make a shopping list from the big ER food Guide, and go forage - some easy to get, some you get online, some you forage for. Lots of tips and cool sources on the ER member Forum

6. Get some basic knowledge about how to prepare your foods...kitchen food prep basics. Tips and cooking demos.

7. Take your beginning tracker data (online forms avail 24/7).

8. Learn how to eat (and how to order) in restaurants and bars without looking like a weirdo

9. Learn what to do when you're traveling so you're not tempted by the purveyors of bad food.

10. Learn how to enjoy celebrations - guilt free.

Once your body is stabilized and your energy is up again (at least adequate) THEN think about movement, and adjust the quality of food that satisfies you.

P.S. Dr. Heidi's approach is NOT based on a crime and punishment model.

"You have sinned by eating more than you burn up because you've been a pig and a lazy one at that. Now you will pay the price. You will go hungry and count every calorie you put in your mouth. And you will exercise even if it hurts and makes you tired and more hungry."

Dr. Heidi's approach is based totally on awareness and education. Most people already punish themselves enough for their overweight state. Most people already know what "bad" and fattening foods are. So it's a question of knowing alternatives and learning to have them appear at the moment of temptation for the old habits. That's what folks learn. Their own awareness is the driver, not punishment fro some authority who lays guilt trips on you.

You can watch Dr. Heidi describe the program here. You want in? There is still time to start on your new body with the gang starting March 14. Register on the same page.

Vitamin Pills: A False Hope?

Just in from the New York Times...

Today about half of all adults use some form of dietary supplement, at a cost of $23 billion a year.

But are vitamins worth it? In the past few years, several high-quality studies have failed to show that extra vitamins, at least in pill form, help prevent chronic disease or prolong life.

The latest news came last week after researchers in the Women’s Health Initiative study tracked eight years of multivitamin use among more than 161,000 older women. Despite earlier findings suggesting that multivitamins might lower the risk for heart disease and certain cancers, the study, published in The Archives of Internal Medicine, found no such benefit.

Last year, a study that tracked almost 15,000 male physicians for a decade reported no differences in...

Interesting note. The piece comments:

"Everyone needs vitamins, which are essential nutrients that the body can’t produce on its own. Inadequate vitamin C leads to scurvy, for instance, and a lack of vitamin D can cause rickets."

But says one researcher, “Why are we taking a reductionist approach and plucking out one or two chemicals given in isolation?”

This has been Dr. Heidi's song for 10 years. Synthetic, or isolated nutrients are not as effective as the whole food based multis, which are more able to be used by the body. Because they come in a more recognized, i.e. not "foreign" form. That's why she designed the Pops (the whole food multi WFN offers) and that's one reason the Pops won the Vitamin of 2008 award form Kitchen Table Medicine.

Children with 'Mountain Dew Mouth'

"A child in Central Appalachia...No 1 in the nation in toothlessness. According to dentists, one of the main cultpirts is Mountain Dew soda. With 50 percent more caffeine than Coke or Pepsi, Mountain Dew seems to be used as a kind of anti-depressant for children in the hills. More...

F.D.A. Finds ‘Natural’ Diet Pills Spiked With Drugs

Just in from the New York Times...

Grady Jackson, a defensive tackle with the Atlanta Falcons, said he used the weight-loss capsules. Kathie Lee Gifford was enthusiastic about them on the “Today” show. Retailers like GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe sold them, no prescription required.

But the Food and Drug Administration now says those weight-loss capsules, called StarCaps and promoted as natural dietary supplements using papaya, could be hazardous to your health. In violation of the law, the agency has found, the capsules also contained a potent pharmaceutical drug called bumetanide which can have serious side effects.

And StarCaps are not the only culprits....MORE
