THE ENDOTHERMIC EATING PLAN:

And

How To Remain Slim For Life

Caution: If you are diabetic, or seriously medically ill, always consult your primary medical provider before starting any eating program.

What does “Endothermic” mean? How can eating endothermically benefit your life and weight management?

Technically, the term Endothermic means a chemical reaction that absorbs

heat. If this is applied to diet and eating, this would be a chemical reaction that absorbs caloric energy. We measure the energy we use from food as calories. We need to eat the foods that contain calories or the energy we require to keep functioning. When we eat more calories than the energy we need to function daily, we store those calories in the form of fat…We have been informed, traditionally, that if one eats a little less calories (energy) than one burns each day, the result will be that the body will take from the stored caloric reserves (fat) to make up for what it needs and we will lose weight. This is essentially true, although other factors are involved… such as the kind of calories consumed each day and the time of day calories are consumed, and other health conditions which contribute to a low metabolism, and there are also medications when taken (such as steroids) which can contribute to body fat dispersion and difficulty losing weight.

This “Eating Plan” lays out a well-researched plan where the foods consumed each day cause “endothermic” metabolic reactions. This means that the foods, when digested use up calories. When using this plan, the individual can eat a great deal of food and still lose weight. In fact, the more the person eats, since these foods burn calories when being digested, the more weight the person will lose. This sounds very good or too good to be true, but it is not. This is a scientific fact. You have the choice about which foods you consume. Those which use up calories when you eat them, or those that spare calories (causing weight gain) when you eat them.

Food that spare calories are called “exothermic” foods. You may know these as “high-calorie” foods. That is because if you eat a large amount of these foods, there are always calories left over that your body doesn’t need to use for energy and your body, being a well-tuned machine, will store the calories (in fat) to use for a day when you may not be able to eat so well. This is a natural protective mechanism created in living beings. But the problem is, high-calorie foods or “exothermic” foods are readily available and, guess what? These foods are addictive. Why are they addictive? Because our body naturally wants to protect itself and make sure that it has enough food stored for “lean times”, so we are naturally attracted to addictive, high-caloric “exothermic” foods.

I have been very successful with many patients getting them to reduce their weight and ABSOLUTELY remain slender by the Exothermic Eating Plan. However, it involves training oneself and using the plan often whenever one finds himself/herself picking up a few unwanted extra pounds or inches.

So, the key to the eating plan is to consume food that burns calories when you eat them and therefore the more you eat, the more you lose -> And getting back on the program whenever you find yourself needing to lose a few extra pounds or inches. Let me give you a step-by-step process.

Directions for using the Endothermic Eating Plan and remaining Slim For Life:

⦁ Use the “Endothermic Eating Plan” often, as not only does this plan reduce weight but it will eliminate excess waste and toxins in the body. It is a cleansing diet as well.

⦁ It is recommended to use the eating plan for 2 to 3 weeks and then eat from the “Slim For Life Plan” for 4 to 6 weeks and then start the “Endothermic Eating Plan” over again until you are satisfied with the weight you have lost.

⦁ After you are satisfied with the weight you have lost, if you find yourself picking up some extra pounds or inches, go back on the “Endothermic Eating Plan” for 2 to 3 weeks rotating off for 4-6 weeks utilizing the “Slim For Life Plan” until you are satisfied again.

If you follow the above instructions, you will never have to worry about being more than a few pounds overweight again in your entire life. There are a few exceptions. I could not help a lady who was taking steroids consistently as this negated her progress. Also, as mentioned, some diabetics have problems with reducing blood sugar excessively as endothermic foods may also reduce blood sugar ranges for diabetics.

⦁ You will feel more energized and you will never need to feel hungry because you can always eat and your mind will be clearer because you are also eliminating toxins from your body. So, you start with “The Weekly Eating Menu”. Once you have completed a week, you start the week over again for 1 to 2 weeks and then you start the “Slim For Life Plan” as your maintenance program.

IMPORTANT: You will also eat the “De-Tox Soup” each day along with the “Endothermic Eating Plan”. Eat the “De-Tox Soup” each day along with the weekly menu provided. The more you eat of the “De-Tox Soup” the more weight you will lose. If you need a snack or feel hungry, tank up on the “De-Tox Soup” while you are abiding by the weekly menu.

Here is the Endothermic Eating Menu Plan:

⦁ (You can drink unsweetened tea or herbal tea, or black coffee and all the water you want with this eating plan.) Here are step-by-step instructions:

⦁ Day One: Eat only fruit (except eat no bananas). If you eat only melons, you can lose 3 lbs on your first day. This is actual weight loss and not water weight loss.

⦁ Day Two: Eat only vegetables. You may have one large potato with butter or margarine. Eat no corn.

⦁ Day Three: Eat fruits and vegetables. Eat no potato, banana, or corn.

⦁ Day Four: Eat bananas and skim milk or 1 % milk. You can blend the bananas and milk as a milkshake and eat in any combination as you like. You can use spices on your bananas, no sugar.

⦁ Day Five: Eat 10-12 oz. of lean beef and 6 tomatoes. Drink eight glasses of water. You need to wash the uric and other impurities out of your system.

⦁ Day Six: Have 10-12 oz. of lean beef, skinned chicken, or fish. Bake or broil all meats. Have all the veggies you want but eat no potato.

⦁ Day Seven: Eat brown rice and unsweetened fruit juices.

Now that you have completed a week, weigh yourself and look at yourself in the mirror. The average weight loss per week is 8-18 lbs. This is genuine weight loss. The key is these combinations of foods provide nutrients, decrease the desire for sweets, flush the body of toxins, and establish optimum metabolic uptake. If you still want to lose more weight and / or inches, then proceed over again from the top of the week menu. You can do this for three weeks. Then you will need to change to your maintenance program, the “Slim For Life” plan (included) Also you will find included are foods that burn fat. You can go back to the weekly menu for 2-3 weeks after 4 – 6 weeks off. You can do this rotation indefinitely until you are satisfied with your weight and only improve your body…Do not forget to eat the “De-Tox Soup” while you are eating from the weekly endothermic menu.

De-Tox Soup Recipe

The more you eat this soup, the more weight you will lose. Eat it each day along with the weekly menu. Use it for a snack. Eat it cold or hot. You can vary the amount of each ingredient listed for a slightly different flavor each time you make it. Keep a large amount handy on the stove to delve into or store in the fridge for when you need it. Be sure not to puree this soup. Part of its effectiveness is the fact that it uses energy to chew it. Make it chunky.

In a large pot (a large crock pot is great) combine the following:

⦁ 1-2 heads of cabbage

⦁ 6-8 large tomatoes

⦁ 3-6 onions

⦁ 1-2 green peppers

⦁ ½ to 1 bunch of celery with leaves

⦁ 1-2 packages of dried onion soup mix or V-8 juice diluted to taste

⦁ Enough pure water to taste

People report feeling more energetic by using the program than eating previously.

So here is the next step how to stay slim when you are not using the “Endothermic Eating Plan” to lose weight:

The “Slim For Life” Maintenance Plan Directions:

⦁ Find a book or an app that counts the carbohydrates in foods for you.

⦁ Limit your daily intake of carbohydrates to 90-100 grams per day. Your body needs 50 grams of carbohydrates per day to maintain your life functions, so don’t limit your daily carbohydrates to less than 50 grams per day. Serious health conditions can arise by eating less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day, and these health conditions may not occur until years later.

⦁ Find a low-carb cookbook. Here are some examples:

“Eat Happy” by Anna Vocino

“The Complete Low-Carb Cookbook” by George Stella

“1001 Low-Carb Recipes” by Dana Carpender

“Eat Low-Carb Slow Cooking” by Robin Donovan

You might want to get more than one of these cookbooks. You will soon find yourself building a fun way of eating that really keeps you slim. You can eat all sorts of food, and you will never be hungry.

You can fill up and feel full. You can still enjoy deserts…For example: Berries have very little carbs. Whipped cream has very little carbs. A bowl of strawberries with whipped cream on top has only about 12 carbohydrates. A generous topping of unsweetened whipped cream has about 1 carbohydrate. So, often you can add whipped cream to a dish of various fruits.

You will discover all sorts of recipes and once this manner of eating becomes a habit, you will never worry about weight loss again.

Here is a partial list of foods that burn fat and increase metabolism:

Artichokes, asparagus, bamboo shoots, green beans, broccoli, green pepper, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, celery, chicory, dill pickle, eggplant, endive, kohlrabi, lettuce, mushrooms, pumpkin, radishes, rhubarb, sauerkraut if prepared without sugar, spinach, summer squash, turnips, watercress. So eat any of these often.

Here is a partial list of foods that build fat and decrease metabolism:

All cheese except cottage cheese, cream, butter, cake, pies, pastries, milkshakes, malted milks, avocados, banana if eaten differently other than this program, fatty meats, pork, ham, sausage, frankfurters, duck, goose, salmon, tuna, white breads, sweet breads, pasta, all candy except sugarless, honey, ice cream, mayonnaise, peanut butter, most sauces, gravies, syrups, chocolates, most cookies, fried foods, alcohol, dates, prunes, figs, persimmons. Most of these foods will also trigger an increased desire for more sweets, creating a further mechanism that lowers metabolism. (These foods can create a sugar addiction, a craving for more.) So eat these very sparingly.

Some people maintain a very healthy slim weight by allowing themselves to eat anything they want one day out of the week once they are pleased with their slim size.

May you be blessed and enjoy a healthy slim figure for life.
