Are You Overweight

By Dr. Bill

Yesterday I was discussing the current political scenario with some business partners. These guys are both astute and very funny, and we had plenty of fun talking about the so-called "stimulus" bill. Just about nothing they said can be repeated here, but maybe you'll hear them on the radio some day - unless the "Fairness Doctrine" stops them.

So the question I have for you is: Are you over weight? Or as Artie Lange would ask, "Too Fat To Fish?"

There's no need to go over the medical specifics, because it's just common sense. People know when they're hefting around too much flab. I know it, and my friends all seem to know it too from talking to them.

The signs are always there.

It takes more than a second to button up the pants.

Shirt collars tightening up.

You start altering your golf swing.

You start going back to the buffet a third time.

You're winded after three flights of stairs.

The signs are there. Like arms jiggling when you come to a stop.

We all know, and we all need to start getting leaner. The way to get there is by doing a little planning.

First on the plan is to get on pharmaceutical grade fish oil and stay on it. Which is easy, a couple capsules a couple times per day.

The full benefits to your blood lipid levels come after 12-15 weeks based on the scientific studies, which is why you need to get started NOW.

Then you start altering your diet in small steps. A great way to start is by replacing the soda in your diet, including diet soda, with water. My friend made this change alone, as well as beginning to take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, and melted off 14 pounds in 8 weeks.

Six more pounds came off when he replaced his lunch burgers with salads twice a week.

Then he took his ice cream servings down to just 4 ounces per day, and even more weight flew off.

He did some hill walking in the beginning for exercise, then started going up the hill faster over the weeks as his body allowed. Took him 15 minutes a day.

He looks 10 years younger today and is 35 pounds lighter.

He didn't make any radical changes, or totally eliminate anything from his diet, other than soda. And he doesn't miss it.

But he can tell you this. He took a business trip and forgot to pack his Dr. Bill's Powerhouse Omega Formula, and he could feel that. He missed his dose for four days, and says if it ever happened again, he would have it Fedexed to him, immediately.

I've had many people repeat this same scenario to me. Once you start on the road to optimal health, your body will let you know loud and clear when you make a detour. Which is a sign you were on the right track in the first place.
