On December 25th, 2010, New Jersey woman Donna Simpson sat down on a steel reinforced chair to a 30,000-calorie meal on her way to her goal weight of 1,000 pounds. To be clear, she was not working to decrease her weight to 1,000 pounds, she is attempting to gain enough weight to grace the pages of The Guinness Book of World Records as "The fattest Woman in the world". The meal started off with two 25 pound turkeys and two maple-glazed hams, followed by 15 lbs. of potatoes, five loaves of bread, five gut filling pounds of stuffing, four pints of creamy gravy, four pints of cranberry dressing and 20 pounds of vegetables! Well, at least she got her veggies in! To top off the meal before the diabetic coma set in, she scarfed down a desert made of marshmallow, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies. The most amazing part of this story isn't the fact that Donna wants to be the fattest woman in the world, nor is it the fact that she was able to fit 30,000 calories worth of food into her stomach, the most amazing part of this story is the fact that she insists that she is healthy! That begs the question, "How exactly does she define health?" This is really a good question to ask yourself as well. "How do you define health." Pretty much the only way that she could rationalize her current state of health as "healthy" is if she defined health as "as long as you are still breathing." I assure you, even though she continues to breathe, underneath it all, physically and figuratively there isn't an ounce of "healthy" in there. The truth is, the grim reaper is speeding in her direction on a bullet-train from heaven; he's in transit, but he just hasn't arrived yet. Anyway, I don't tell this story to pick on Donna. I tell the story for your good, so that we can pick out the nuggets of learning from Donna's situation. So you may be asking, what in the world could we learn from a woman who is trying to gain fat rather than lose fat? That's a good question, but I assure you there i --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/support

Many of our listeners wonder if they are just genetically programmed to be fat. Their father, mother and siblings may all be overweight and thus it is logical to believe that their weight is predetermined. In today's podcast, we will answer a number of questions... Do fat genes exist? If so, is it possible to fight these evil little genes? Is obesity caused by genetics? Genetics are not the stone slate of physical certainty that we once thought. It turns out that genes offer us many different potential outcomes through a process called epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how your environment turns genes on or off. That's right, each gene has an on or off switch, even the fat genes. This means that your day-to-day choices determine whether your fat genes are activated or sitting idly by doing nothing... There is plenty of published scientific proof that genetic expression can be molded by lifestyle, however, let me tell you about a recent British study. Researchers tested the genetics of over 20,000 people and gave them each an "obesity susceptibility score" based on their results. They then analyzed work and exercise activity for each of the participants. Based on the results of their analysis, they determined that the people who incorporated at least 1 hour of physical activity had a 40% lower risk of becoming obese compared to people with the same genetic potential but less physical activity. This finding is pretty amazing given the fact that the researchers only analyzed one component of health and fitness. What if we took those same participants and taught them how to exercise for fat loss and how to eat for improved health and improved blood sugar control? I imagine that we would be blown away by the results of such a study. So, what are the takeaways from today's episode? * I don't care if you are genetically programmed for fat storage; you can make a major improvement in your health and body through your actions * Exercise & activity are hugely --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/support

Practically every "weight loss authority" out there recommends aerobic exercise as a foundation to any weight loss program. After all, it does make sense, burn more calories than you consume and you will lose fat. I have a question, "How is that working out for us?" You may have heard that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Well, isn't that what we are doing when we run the treadmill every day only to see the scale remain stagnant and the pants equally tight around the waist? But we keep trucking along, don't we? We keep running the treadmill and stepping on the scale. Listen up Fat Cutters... "It isn't working!!!" In this podcast, we will put aerobic exercise on trial and try to convince your brain that it is okay to give up the aerobic exercise as a backbone to your weight loss program. Once you have your "Ah ha!" moment, you will then make room for more effective exercise techniques. You can do better than steady-state aerobic exercise for fat loss; so listen up and we hope that you will find aerobic exercise guilty of fraud! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/support

Most of the weight loss literature discusses how to consciously take control of your eating by counting calories, keeping a food diary or weighing out your food. These methods, although effective for a time, are difficult to maintain for a lifetime. What if there were a better way, a way that uses the power of your strong subconscious mind rather than your weak conscious mind. On our weight loss podcast and blog, we have discussed many of the principles around consciously changing your diet and lifestyle for weight loss purposes. In today’s article and podcast, we will discuss methods of using your subconscious mind to achieve your weight loss goals. Mindful eating involves being present when you eat; paying attention to the taste, texture and flavors within the food. By using the principle of mindful eating, you allow your brain time to register the food. Mindless eating is a scientific approach to tricking your brain into eating less. Mindless eating principles are based on the scientific fact that your satiety is determined more by your environment than your hunger signals. By using a number of scientifically validated techniques, you can literally trick the brain into decreasing calories without feeling deprived. Some of these principles include: 1. Using plates that are 10-20% smaller than your usual plates. The brain feels obligated to eat everything that is on your plate. By decreasing the size of the plate, you can trick the brain into feeling satisfied with less food. 2. Start the meal by throwing out 15-25% of the meal. This works on the same principle as described above. If you throw it out, you no longer have to consciously ask yourself if you have had enough. 3. Leave the uneaten food on the table. When your brain is able to see the remains of your eating, it is able to gauge the quantity that you have already eating. Although mindful eating and mindless eating are both very powerful; by putting these two principles together you can dramat --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/support

In this episode, we start off by discussing what is considered the bread and butter of weight loss, The Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that if you eat more calories than you burn then you will gain weight; if you eat fewer calories than you burn then you will lose weight. in other words, this law states that calories are everything! We start off by debunking this "law" because it is the foundation of which most diets are built upon. You will hear many people say, "it's all about calories!" Now, you will be able to argue the contrary. In the second part of this episode, we discuss metabolism and some ways to boost it to promote weight loss. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cut-the-fat-podcast/support
