5 Reasons Why Dieters Regain the Weight

By

If you've ever lost a few pounds on a diet plan but later gained them all back, you're not alone.

The success rates of typical diets are dismal - less than 3% of typical dieters keep the weight off long-term.

If you're a disappointed dieter, take heart. It may not be your fault. Often times, you don't fail the diet - today's popluar diets are failing you.

I've spelled out 5 Reasons Why Dieters Regain the Weight in a free PDF, which is yours simply by subscribing to my newsletter. The newsletter typically goes out once a month, so don't worry - I promise not to overload your inbox.

Do you like to read the last chapter first?

By

If so, you're in for a treat. Because today I'd like to share the short, final chapter of The "Plan A" Diet, which I consider to be THE most important chapter of the entire book.

Titled Final Thoughts: Life is Short, this chapter urges readers to deeply consider two important perspectives on their physical and spiritual lives. I'm praying this chapter will resonate with you, and if so, I'd love to hear about it.

You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

What is life? You are a mist that is seen for a moment and then disappears.

Concerns with Coronary Calcium Scans

By

Considering a Coronary Calcium Scan? A Coronary Calcium Scan is a CT scan of the heart that detects the amount of calcium in the artieries, but many respected groups, researchers, and professional cardiology societies are now recommending against the test.

In her informative article today, Dr. Pam Popper explains the current concerns about the test, which partly include:

  • The test does not detect plaques, and therefore cannot inform a patient of their true risk of experiencing an event or death
  • Someone with a perfect score of zero can still have significant blockages
  • Cancer concern from the large dose of radiation (100 - 400x a traditional xray)
  • False positives which lead to unnecessary, invasive procedures and drugs

Because the potentential harms outweigh any benefits, many groups are now recommending against the test (including the USPSTF - The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, which finds no evidence that screening for coronary heart disease is beneficial).

Just one more reason why we need to do our homework before agreeing to any type of tests or procedures, preventative or otherwise.....

.....and another great reason to protect our arteries with a whole food, plant-based, no-added-oil eating plan, as spelled out in The "Plan A" Diet. 

 

Interview on Karl’s Coaching Podcast

By

I had the privilege and blessing to be interviewed recently by Karl Forehand. Karl has 20 years experience as a pastor and a counselor, plus he's certified in Plant Based Nutrition through Dr. Campbell's eCornell course. He hosts two Facebook pages (WFBP Christians, and Four-Eyed Plant Eater) and offers coaching through his website.

Because we're on the same page in many areas, I contacted Karl several weeks ago to ask if I could send him a copy of The "Plan A" Diet. He agreed (and explains in the interview why he was somewhat reluctant about it initially).

However, after reading the book, he invited me as a guest on his podcast! Here's the interview. Hopefully you'll have time to give it a listen - and feel free to share it! I'm convinced that God has purposes for this book, and it's exciting to see the doors He conintues to open.

I know that you can do everything and that your plans are unstoppable.

(Job 42:2, GW)

 

Is a Plant-Based Diet Safe for Children?

Is this diet safe for children?

Of course it is, but I sense your concern. You may be willing to change your own diet, but are leery of any perceived risks to your child. That’s understandable. But a diet plan proven to be the healthiest one on the planet certainly applies to the children, too.

Because your child’s health is a priority, may I encourage you to change their diets now. The Standard American Diet, filled with too much protein, fat, cholesterol, and environmental chemicals, leads to many common health issues for kids. (Read the rest of the article here.)
