One of the best ways to lose weight quickly is to avoid eating obesity additives. Obesity additives are mostly artificial or man-made chemicals and components that the food industry adds to almost everything in our grocery stores to make food last longer and taste “better”.
First, let me say this… nearly all of the food that you can find in a grocery store is put there by 4-5 HUGE companies that dominate the food industry. And, they put that food there for 1 reason… to make money. The more they sell, the more money they make… I’m sorry to say it, but that’s how our economy works.
The problems with obesity additives are as follows:
1. They interfere with a hormone in your body that’s called leptin. This interference causes the body to constantly feel hungry which leads to overeating.
2. They stimulate your body to produce more insulin. Insulin is a hunger hormone and when it’s high, you consume more food and that excess food is turned into fat… fat that is often stored in and around our belly region.
3. They are addictive… just like nicotine and cocaine… it’s difficult to eat just one potato chip.
So, how do you avoid these obesity additives? First off, you have to read the labels that printed on those cans. Avoid artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, trans fats, and anything that says hydrogenated such as hydrogenated oils. Also, avoid anything that has an ingredient that ends with “ose” such as glucose and sucrose.
There’s much more to learn about how to avoid eating foods containing these obesity additives and one place where you can read more about it is in a book called The End of Overeating by Dr. David Kessler. That book is only $6.40.
For more information on obesity additives, watch this video:
Also, avoiding obesity additives is also a major theme in a quick weight loss diet program called the 7 Day Belly Blast Diet by Josh Bezoni. Many of the readers to my blog have enjoyed that diet.
One of most important things that I always tell anyone that’s interested in a quick weight loss diet is to keep those types of food that you really like to eat and just can’t seem to resist out of you house. Temptation is hard to resist.
But, I know, it’s the holiday season right now and there are a lot of goodies and treats everywhere you go…and, not just in your house. So, what can you do now?
Well, a recent study showed that there is one “strange” little herb that helped women that were overweight to reduce the foods that they snacked on by as much as 50%!
Now, I know what you’re thinking…what is this “strange” little herb?
Women in this study were divided into two groups. One group had there food supplemented with this herb and the other group (control group) did not. Researchers were surprised to find that the group that had this herb added to their food snacked 50% less than the control group and they also had greater fat loss.
It’s believed that saffron reduced the stress levels within these women and that helped to reduce their anxiety and depression. That’s the thought, but it’s still being tested. We all know that stress and anxiety can lead to some unhealthy eating habits, even while on a quick weight loss diet.
If you’re having problems avoiding snacks this holiday season, give this trick a try!
And, here is a quick recipe that you may want to try this holiday season that uses saffron:
Easy Saffron Chicken
1. Add 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, one diced garlic clove, and a large pinch of saffron to 1-1/2 cups of low fat yogurt. Stir these ingredients together.
2. Add 6-8 ounces of chicken breast to the above mixture and marinate for about 15 minutes. Brush the chicken with walnut oil and place the chicken in the oven on broil.
3. Broil each side of the chicken for about 10 minutes each. The chicken shoud be cooked all the way through and be lightly brown.
4. Add some vegetables and a healthy source of carbs… Enjoy!
Nutritionist and doctors will tell you that the flab you have around your belly is the deadliest fat of all kinds. This fat increases the likelihood that you will have a heart attack, a stroke, diabetes, and a host of other illnesses… not to mention depression. It’s difficult to lose pounds of belly fat.
Besides making us look bad, belly fat makes you stand out in a crowd and breaks your self-confidence. But the most frustrating part about belly fat is that trying to lose it is like trying to break into a bank vault. Do you want to know why? Well, here are 3 reasons:
1. Unbalanced Hormones
If you have belly flab, one hormone that you are likely to have to much of is called cortizol. The stress that belly fat causes to the human body causes it to generate additional cortizol. Guess what? Cortizol causes your body to store additional fat cells. Hello?!
In addition, if you have been consuming the wrong kinds of food, your body will generate insulin which is a fat-storing hormone and turn-off glucagon which is a fat-burning hormone.
2. Your Fat-Burning Furnace Is Out Of Whack
If you need to lose a lot of belly fat, you probably think that you need to reduce the number of calories that you are consuming for a long period of time…correct? DEAD WRONG!
Reducing the number of calories that you are consuming over a long period of time causes a nutrient deficiency. This causes the brain to send signals to the stomach to eat more which causes “food cravings”. The problem is, you will likely eat more but it is likely to be “nutrient-dead” and those food cravings just continue (that’s why on some diets where you are trying to lose pounds you feel hungry all the time).
The human body is an incredible machine. After dieting for about 1 week, the human body starts fighting back by reducing your metabolism…it starts shutting down the system that burns fat. Even worse, the human body now starts generating a hormone called leptin which is a “hunger” generating hormone. It’s telling your body to eat more.
Your fat loss and your diet will likely come to a STOP!
HUGE food corporations use cheap artificial additives and flavorings in most of the products that we find at our grocery stores. Read the side of those cans!
These Obesity Additives are chemical bombs that:
Cause a mineral imbalance resulting in bloating and excess water storage.
Cause pounds of toxic waste to accumulate in our digestive tract.
These are the 3 Big reasons why it’s difficult to get a flatter tummy!
Can you guess what it is? Is it a greasy hamburger? A bowl of sweet vanilla ice cream? Perhaps, it’s a bag of salty potato chips? If you’re trying to lose weight and are on a quick weight loss diet, you must stay away from this type of food!
Still guessing? Well, before I give you the answer to this question, you may want to check out this FREE 40-PAGE REPORT that many people are talking about – The 15 Foods That Will Kill BellyFat Faster.
This report will show you the 15 BEST BellyFat killing foods and you will also learn about some supposedly “healthy” foods that, in reality, will increase your body’s ability to store more fat.
Now, back to our original question: What’s the worst food that you can eat while you’re on a quick weight loss diet? Believe it or not, it’s any food that you have a hard time quitting to eat! These are “trigger” foods, you know, these are the foods that you could eat until you are sick.
My “trigger” food is cheese…all types and all flavors. For others, it’s meat-lovers pizza with cheese-stuffed crust or chocolate chip cookies.
It doesn’t matter what type of “trigger” food it is, even when you’re on a quick weight loss diet, you’ll find an excuse or a dozen excuses to eat these foods.
The best way to get a FLAT BELLY is to get these foods OUT OF YOUR HOUSE! Don’t even think about buying them. STAY AWAY!
It’s easier to control your environment than it is to control your impulses. So, identify what these “trigger” foods are and get them off your shelves…get them out of your refrigerator.
This one tip alone can save you thousands of calories per week and can help you to be more successful on that quick weight loss diet.
Ultimately, quick weight loss diets really depend upon the individual and their attitude towards losing weight. Let’s face it, if you want to eat a whole pizza by yourself or if you want to eat two Double Big Macs, it’s your choice to do it… and nothing will change that. But, wouldn’t it be nice if there was something that would help you to resist eating all that food?
Well, now there is!
The product that I’m talking about is called Prograde Protein. Prograde Protein is a cutting-edge protein powder made from whey. I know, now you’re asking what is whey?
Whey is one of the major proteins found in cow’s milk and when it is separated from the milk it can be dried and made into a protein rich powder.
Studies have shown (the initial studies were done on women, but I bet it will also work for men) that when whey is consumed, the individuals were likely to eat much less and they didn’t experience as much hunger. And, not only that, the metabolism of these individuals were increased and more body fat was burned.
I’m not going to go into any great amount of detail about this study, but if you want to read more about this quick weight loss protein, just click here.
So, if you’re trying to lose weight, I not only encourage you to try one of the diets that I promote on this blog, such as Fat Loss 4 Idiots, but I would also encourage you to use Prograde Protein… burn more calories and feel full longer.
Remember, ultimately it’s up to you to lose weight and to lose as much as you want. But, the products and diets that I promote will make it easier for you to push yourself away from the table. Best of Luck on your quick weight loss diet!
Ice cream is not something that you find recommended in the suggestion box on most quick diet recipes, but you will find it here, in this suggestion box.
And, who doesn’t need some ice cream in this summer’s blistering heat!
The reason why ice cream is in my suggestion box is that this ice cream also contains some Prograde Lean…a complete meal replacement that boosts your metabolism.
Quick Diets That Boost Metabolism
Try these two ice cream recipes this summer to lose more weight:
In a blender, mix the first two ingredients very well. Place this mixture into an ice cream machine until it is almost ready. Just befor it is done, drizzle the peanut butter into the chocolate ice cream.
TIP:You just want to barely mix the peanut butter into the ice cream…you don’t want the two flavors to mix entirely together.
I want to say “Thanks” to all those readers that have contacted me after reading my article Quick Weightloss and Obesity Additives. It seems that this article woke up a good deal of people about the dangers of obesity additives.
For those visitors that have not read my other article, obesity additives are additives and compounds that food manufacturers are adding to our foods to extend their shelf life. The problem is that knowingly or unknowingly, these additives are making us obese. When I say “us”, I mean the general public.
I know that this is my personal opinion, but I can’t help but believe that these giant corporations know this. After all, it adds to their bottom lines.
To get an idea on just how rapidly our population’s waist lines are growing, watch this short 40 second video:
Yes, I know that video is a bit quick and you may have to watch it a couple of times to digest all of the information, but in a nut-shell, here are some things that the video reveals:
>In 1990, among states participating in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 10 states had a prevalence of obesity less than 10% and no state had a prevalence equal to or greater than 15%.
>In 1998, no state had a prevalence less than 10%; seven states had a prevalence of obesity between 20-24%, and no state had prevalence equal to or greater than 25%.
>In 2007, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty states had a prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; three of these states (Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%.
Scary…isn’t it?! And, how do we stop it?
That’s why I’m promoting a new diet called the 7-Day Belly Blast Diet. One of the important things that this diet does is that it teaches you how to avoid these dangerous food additives.
Of course, there’s much more to this diet than this alone, and if you’re interested in losing weight, read the article I talked about at the top of this page or read another one of my articles called Quick Weightloss and Belly Fat Free. The 7-Day Bell Blast Diet will help you to quickly lose weight and avoid dangerous obesity additives.
For any quick weight loss diet to really work, there are three key concepts that you have to understand. These key concepts are:
Know the exact foods that cause accelerated fat burning in YOUR BODY.
Know which particular foods are preventing YOUR BODY from burning fat.
Know and understand how to put the right foods together to create a fat burning effect in YOUR BODY.
Anybody that can learn, understand, and utilize these three concepts can lose weight quickly.
In this article, I want to quickly touch base on the #2 concept: Know which particular foods are preventing YOUR BODY from burning fat.
Here is a quick weight loss diet secret that may surprise you: Many of the nutritional foods that are touted to be healthy and low fat are actually preventing you from losing weight!
What are some of these foods that I am talking about?
Orange juice, whole wheat bread, healthy cereals, low fat muffins, granola, whole grain pasta, processed soy products, artificial sweeteners, whole grain crackers…just to name a few and there are many more!
The problem with these type of foods is that while your body is digesting them, your body is converting them into sugar…the #1 enemy on any diet!
Surprised?! Well, I was and I bet many of you are too.
Listen, I could go on and on, but it would be easier for you and me if you go to this LINK and listen to a 26 minute video that explains all of this in much more detail.
Yes, of course, this video was produced to promote a quick weight loss diet program called The Diet Solution, but even if you don’t invest in this dieting program, you’ll learn a lot of intersting things. Things like:
Counting Calories is the wrong thing to do.
Eating smaller amounts of food is the wrong thing to do.
This blog promotes a number of very special quick weight loss diets. It doesn’t matter which one of these diets that you are using…rather it be the Fat Burning Furnace, Fat Loss 4 Idiots, or Strip That Fat… you can use this fat burning secret trick to help you lose weight on any of these diets.
Here’s the trick…
The next time you take a shower, start out with a mixture of warm and cold water. While standing under the shower (with the water directed at your neck and shoulders), slowly turn the warm water off…not too fast now! Once you have completely shut the warm water off, remain in the cold shower for about 30 seconds…now, you’re done!
I bet you will feel energized and full of vitality…not to mention that you’re on your way to losing more weight. Want to know why? Do you want the secret to this little trick?
There are a number of different types of fat in the human body, but two of them come into play in this trick…White Fat Tissue and Brown Fat Tissue.White Fat Tissue is what we generally call “fat” and it sits on your belly, thighs, butt, and hips. This is the fat that we are so desperately trying to get rid of when we are on a quick weight loss diet. We burn this fat when we exercise.
On the other hand, Brown Fat Tissue contains higher concentrations of Mitochondria which can be thought of as mini “power stations”. One of the roles of Brown Fat Tissue is to burn White Fat Tissue so that it can be used as energy.
Have you ever wondered why infants look so plump and fat? Well, one reason is that infants have a higher percentage of Brown Fat Tissue in their little bodies. This helps their bodies stay warm after be welcomed into this new world.
Until recently, it was believed that Brown Fat Tissue just disappeared in the human body as it matured. But, this just isn’t so. Although in smaller amounts, Brown Fat Tissue is stored in the human neck, shoulders, and upper body.
Have you ever jumped into a cold pool of water and you suddenly feel frozen? If you stay in that water for a few minutes, you feel warmer. One reason for that is that your blood vessels open up and lets more blood flow through your body. But, another reason for that is that the cold water energizes the Brown Fat Tissue which triggers the White Fat Tissue to burn fat.
Pharmaceutical companies are working feverishly to develop a new quick weight loss diet “pill” to take advantage of this phenomenon…but, they haven’t done it yet. Besides, you don’t need that pill because you can use this trick and it doesn’t cost you anything.
I hope you enjoyed this quick weight loss diet trick. And, if you’re interested, you can learn 101 other tricks in a book written by Jeff Anderson called DO THIS…BURN FAT.
Holy Cow…this story was hard to believe. A friend of mine and fitness author Jon Benson just finished a 8-day business vacation and during that time he LOST 11 lbs of body fat while on his new quick weight loss diet. He sent me an email telling me how he did it and here’s a copy of that email… Enjoy!
****************
Dear Jhoe,
It was the weirdest thing …
I mean, I’ve been around you know? I’ve had just about every body and fatloss experience you can think of… the good, the bad, the ugly…
… and now the really bizarre.
Here’s the story:
I took off on an 8-day cruise to the Caribbean. This was a “business” cruise (yeah, right)… and I knew there was no way to eat the way I prefer to eat. At least not ideally. After that I had to speak in Tampa Florida at a fitness summit, then off to Las Vegas for yet another summit meeting.
All-in-all I was gone for almost three weeks.
First thing that I knew had to go was my “ideal” dietplan.
That’s my “Extreme” Plan on the Every Other Day Dietplan…
There are three plans in EODD: The Primer Plan, which is literally “every other day”. You get to eat your favorite foods within reason every other day or so on this Plan. It’s perfect for folks who ‘hate’ dieting because, let’s face it, anyone can diet-for a day, right? Right.
Then there’s the Lifestyle Plans. These are two days of “burn eating” followed by a day of eating favorite foods. Most people use this because it too is so simple to use.
Then for we athletes and fitness pros there’s the Extreme Plan. This is for ultimate body fat loss and muscle-shaping. I love this plan.
But hey… it’s a vacation. And so I decided to eat on the Primer Plan… remember, that’s every other day. So every other day on the cruise I had a small dessert (sometimes two), pizza, or pasta… whatever I wanted within reason. The days before I did perfectly, substituting my morning shake for egg white omelets with a bit of cheese and a lot of veggies. Yum!
Within three days I had LOST more than 4 lbs… or about 2 kg. Pure fat… well, a bit of water I suppose, but mostly that stubborn body fat around my middle that’s the last to go.
What the heck was going on?
Wait… the story gets better…
I move on to Tampa, and then Vegas, and now I’m 11 lbs (about 5 kg) down. My jeans ALL require a belt, only this time it’s not a fashion statement.
Frankly, I’m as surprised as you may be.
But I figured out why this happened. And I want to share it with you so you can use EODD (or another plan if you want… but mine is the best… : ) when you go on vacation or take a break.
Here’s why I dropped the last bit of my body fat:
First, I was on a VERY large cruise ship. I knew my weight training would not be as intense (the weights were not that heavy) but I also knew I could just make it work… train a bit more and go for the “pump”… just a good, quick workout. I ended up training 5 days on the cruise without a problem (and only ONE day of cardio for 20 minutes… you see, you do NOT need cardio to dump body fat!)
But the difference was in the WALKING. The ship was the largest ever built… the size of 2.5 football fields. And I walked everywhere… on the islands, on the boat, even to every meal. Just walking burned off FAR more calories than my normal lifestyle, which like most of you has a lot of sitting down to it. ; )
Walking… my favorite “Cardio” to this very day.

My Supplement Tricks
————————————————————|
Second, I took extra potassium, along with all of my Radical Fatloss Blueprint Supplements. I carried them all on board.
You can read more about the supplements I take for “radical” fatloss here:
The two that really did the trick for me was the Aqualize (also known as Acquacil), only 1-2 a day, along with the amino acids.
Finally, I realized that I need MORE food than I’m eating now in order to increase my metabolic rate. Just a bit… about 400 calories a day more than I have been eating. Doing just that rebooted my metabolic rate and presto… 11 lbs of body fat and useless water is history. My abs have never looked better.
I hope this gives you some encouragement when it comes to being on the road or on vacation. With the right plan (like EODD and Radical Fatloss) you can actually improve your body…
… and best of all, I enjoyed every minute of my vacation!
Jhoe, I’ll see you next week.
Yours In Fitness,
J O N B E N S O N
P.S. An important note was that I made a decision not to drink on the cruise or elsewhere. I had one small glass of wine last night to celebrate with my largest affiliate and business comrade. He flew in from Israel just for this meeting, and it was the least i could do. Roei and I had a blast all day.
The reason drinking is a problem is that alcohol shuts down fat-burning for several hours… sometimes longer. But a glass of wine or two a week is not going to hurt you. I just made that one small “sacrifice” so I could enjoy ice cream, pizza (I ate four slices one night at 3:00am and woke up leaner!) and all the yummy food the boat had to offer.
So, my final tip: Make a decision to cut out just ONE thing when you’re on the road. Alcohol was easy for me as I do not drink that much as it is.
