Great Results are an Early Christmas Present for a Fat-Burning Machine

 

Gale,

In January of 2018, I started in earnest on becoming a Fat Burning Machine. I have also done some other lifestyle changes but wanted you to know that my cholesterol ratio went from 5.2 to 3.5. My HDL (good cholesterol) went up, LDL (bad cholesterol) went down, and my triglycerides (which were at 295 due to genetics) are now 167!

I was considering getting on medications for the triglycerides and was very upset about it because I take no medications, just supplements.

Getting the blood test results yesterday felt like Christmas. I’m sure that Fat-Burning Machine was part of this change -…Read More »

Are skin tags an indication of insulin resistance?

 

While doing individual consulting with a person moving to the Fat-Burning Machine® diet, I recommended she visit her doctor for a checkup, bloodwork and a medication update. I also gave her a suggested list of questions to ask the doctor.

One of the results of the checkup was the doctor noted that she had more than 10 skin tags on her body –  an indication of insulin resistance. The doctor recommended she make immediate changes to her diet, directly in line with Fat-Burning Machine guidelines.

Skin tags are benign growths of skin, often characterized by a thin stalk called a peduncle.  They…Read More »

Overweight and Healthy? Not for Long.

 

I know people that are overweight and believe that as long as they don’t have high blood pressure or current signs of heart disease, they can continue on their merry way. They think, “Hey, my health markers are good! No reason for me to change my habits! I can eat anything I please!”

Not so fast.

In a study published by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers found that slightly less than half the 6,809 people that were 30 pounds or more overweight went on to develop metabolic syndrome within 10 years of “good” blood pressure and other health…Read More »

Obesity is Increasing Cancer Risk in Young Adults

 

Obesity is more than a vanity issue – it is a serious health problem. We have known for quite some time that obesity is associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer in adults. Now there is evidence that obesity is shifting certain cancers to younger age groups.

A recent meta-analysis (a powerful study that combines results of several studies) has shown that cancers typically associated with people over the age of 50 are now reported with increasing frequency in young adults. The study reported, “In 2016, nearly 1 in 10 new breast cancer cases, and 1 in 4 new thyroid cancer…Read More »

Great Session on How to Become a Fat-Burning Machine

 

I received a wonderful invitation from the town of Frisco, Colorado to be a speaker as part of their town series. One of the managers at the Frisco Nordic Center, Bernie Frey, thought that this time of year is perfect to talk about health, wellness, fitness and how people can turn their bodies into Fat-Burning Machines. I was happy to speak at the Nordic Center, now managed by Olympian Jim Galanes.

3 Tips to Get Your Kids (and Other Family Members) to Eat Healthy Foods

 

Trying to get kids to eat healthy foods can seem like an impossible task for parents. Heck, trying to get yourself to eat healthy foods can seem impossible. We are bombarded with sugary, processed foods at every turn. These foods are highly palatable and they can be addicting for some people.

How do you win the battle against junk food? These three tips can help:

Your palate is trainable. Obesity researchers know that humans have a predisposition to accept sweet tastes and reject sour and bitter tastes. However, our palates are…Read More »

Just 5% Body Weight Loss Cuts Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Risk

 

What does 5% weight loss look like?

If you currently weigh 150 pounds, losing just 7.5 pounds may help reduce your breast cancer risk. At 190 pounds, losing just 9.5 pounds is 5%. For round numbers, let’s say that if you weigh some 150 to 200 pounds, losing some 7.5 to 10 pounds can cut your risk for breast cancer. This is a relatively small weight loss range that results in tremendous benefits.

The numbers come from research that looked at 61,335 postmenopausal women between the age of 50 and 75 who had no history of breast cancer and had normal mammography…Read More »
