Meet Dr. Susan Smith-Jones

Five to seven pounds added to your waistline…maybe more…between Thanksgiving and the first week in January? Yikes!

That’s what the experts tell us, but what can we do to enjoy the holidays without gaining weight? Lots of questions, but what about answers?

I checked in with Dr. Susan Smith-Jones out Hollywood way on POPPOFF.

She is author of some 25 books, motivational speaker, and holistic health expert and her celebrity list is impressive. If it’s good enough for them, I figured we could take a shot at slimming down and not puffing up for this ‘tis the season for being jolly.

So enjoy your holidays and take heed of these ten tips.

The first one is really HOT ! HOT ! HOT !

1) CAYENNE PEPPER - This wonderful spice provides a three-pronged attack against obesity.

First, eating cayenne may help fight off food cravings. Some experts believe that eating sharp-tasting foods such as hot peppers can overwhelm taste buds, cutting off cravings.

Second, cayenne helps you eat less. Researchers in the Netherlands gave men .9 grams of ground cayenne pepper either as a pill or mixed into a tomato juice beverage. Then 30 minutes later, they turned the men loose at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Compared with men who were given a placebo, the men who had consumed cayenne reduced their food intake by 16%.

Third, it actually requires energy to eat hot peppers. That’s right. That’s because the heat you feel when you eat chili peppers takes energy to produce. That’s why Dr. Jones adds cayenne capsules to her daily health and nutrition program. And especially with any large holiday meal, she finds ways to also consume some cayenne.

2) DON’T SKIP MEALS - Make sure to eat something every 3-4 hours so you won’t get famished and end up eating more than necessary.

3) BRING HEALTHY SNACKS -  While shopping or in the car, healthy snacks help your blood sugar not to plummet.

4) HAVE SOMETHING SMALL TO EAT - That’s before you go out, especially to a holiday party or big dinner so you don’t arrive with a voracious appetite.

5) DON’T HANG OUT NEAR THE FOOD during holiday parties and large gatherings where there are tables of food.

6) DON’T JUST EAT TO BE SOCIAL - Choose wisely what food you hold in your hands while talking to others at holiday gatherings.

7) KEEP YOUR BODY HYDRATED with purified water. We often confuse hunger with dehydration.

8) START ALL MEALS WITH HIGH-FIBER FOODS to fill your stomach. Fiber is your secret weapon to weight control.

9) EAT SLOWLY - Put down the fork between bites. Make a meal last 30 minutes so your brain’s satiety center gets the signal when you are full.

10) MAKE SLEEP A PRIORITY - Lack of sleep causes your body to hold on to all of the calories you eat and strengthens your desire for junk foods.

So go ahead and enjoy this wonderful time of the year, but remember all that extra gym work you’ll have to do in January if you’re not a little careful.

HAPPY SLIM HOLIDAYS!

A Great American Health Hoax?

Available on Amazon

Is there a health hoax happening in the U.S.? It is according to Raymond Francis author of “Never Be Sick Again” and his latest book “The Great American Health Hoax.” He claims healthcare in America is pretending to be something it is not.

He added on POPPOFF that the definition of healthcare is the maintenance or restoration of health. But our healthcare system is not about maintaining or restoring health…it’s about managing the symptoms of disease.

This is disease-care, not healthcare. In addition to the possibility of a hoax, he claims it is threatening to bankrupt the United States with an aging population…10,000 people retiring daily and we have promised to pay for their healthcare.

There won’t be enough young people working to cover the costs. But he thinks there is a way out of this economic mess. Choose health! All the debate so far is about how to save a dime here and a dollar there, but it won’t work.

We need to change the terms of the debate to how to prevent disease. We need to teach people how to choose health…no disease, no costs. Unfortunately, health is a choice not yet chosen.

So, it is possible to choose health? Yes, says Francis. The science is there. We already know how to prevent and reverse almost all disease. We have to put to use what we already know. Raymond Francis is a chemist and MIT graduate and has spent sufficient time around chemicals.

So when plagued with a chemical sensitivity as a result of his acute chemical hepatitis, he knew he had to do something to save his life and fast!

The first step - - identify the root of the problem. It was here he discovered that these issues derive from the significant changes in lifestyle, diet, and environment that have occurred over the past hundred years.

Many advances have been made, but not all of them are beneficial to our bodies and their delicate chemistry. Harmful toxins can be found in a myriad of places besides prescription drugs like carpets, cookware, building materials, even appliances.

Now it’s all about diet, right? No, says Francis, it’s a very holistic approach to health with what he calls the Six Pathways to health and disease. You can get yourself moving toward health on all Six Pathways and you will remain biologically young, healthy and vigorous.

We do not know all of the many factors that can be affecting your health, which is why using all six at the same time is important. They are:

1) NUTRITION
2) TOXIN
3) MENTAL
4) PHYSICAL
5) GENETIC
6) MEDICAL

I don’t have enough time to tackle them all, but I was curious if there were any foods we should not eat. He said, yes. Get off processed foods. The average American diet consists mostly of processed foods, and this diet will not support healthy life…even in rats.

In his book, he lists what he calls the Bad four. These are the four most dangerous foods people eat…sugar, wheat, processed oils, and milk and dairy products. He also told me on the air no corn, no soy or tofu either. Guess it has to do with GMOs.

You can check out all the other things we do to live an unhealthy life in “The Great American HEALTH HOAX (available on Amazon)” The Surprising Truth about How Modern Medicine Keeps You Sick. You can also check out his website www.BeyondHealth.com.

Stay well!

Fat-me-Not - The slim plate diet

From the files of Mary Jane Popp at KAHI Radio in Sacramento, California

Available on Amazon

Summer is creeping up on us. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Are you ready to shed those sweaters for the itsy bitsy bikini?

What if you could burn that nasty fat without pills or super exercising?

Dr. Sandeep Grewal says there are fat burning foods. Along with Dr. Myo New, Dr. Grewal has finally connected the advances in weight-loss science in their book “Fat-Me-Not” weight loss diet of the future.

They say why try to lose weight the old way when powerful new research can make it simpler, easier, and safer to shed those pounds. Dr. Sandeep, board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine shared the type of diet you should create to burn fat with me on my POPPOFF Radio Show like:

EATING REAL FOOD: Whole grain food, Meat, Eggs, vegetables and fruits that promotes gut workout, spend about 35% more calories digesting and absorbing the food, and also increase the satiety and cut cravings for sweet sugary drinks. Choose the diet that allows you to eat real foods rather than protein shakes and powders.

EATING A BALANCED DIET RATHER THAN A LOW CARB, LOW FAT DIET: Different body organs need different nutrients, for example, sugar (carb) is essential for blood cells and brain cells. Without the sugar (carb) the brain will be chasing cabs and sweets. That’s how cravings begin and the discipline of dieting gets ruined. That is the reason if you want to lose fat, you need to shoot for a balanced diet for long term results. Losing weight from body water and lean body are short term. Quick fix diets will get you weight loss for a short time and then pounds come back with a vengeance.

EATING FOUR OR FIVE TIMES A DAY: Our metabolism goes down 40% if we do not eat for more than 4-6 hours. It shuts down the less essential departments of the body. If your body senses that you are a regular breakfast skipper or small lunch eater, or just one meal a day eater, it will be cutting the calories by 40% without realizing it. That’s why some obese people gain more weight without eating much. So let’s fast-pace our metabolism by eating at least 4-5 times a day in correct potions. Let the gut work hard digesting, transporting, absorbing, storing, and transforming the nutrients at the interval of approximately every 4 hours. When your gut is working hard, you know it’s burning fat too.

FOODS THAT BURN FAT: Whole grain breads and pasta, brown rice, legumes, lentils…good stable foods. Variety of colorful vegetables will give your gut a good gut work out and burn more calories. High fiber diets promote fat-me-not bacteria in the gut and promotes weight loss. Lean meat, fish, sea foods are great fat burners. For example, compare a protein shake vs a piece of lean meat with the same calories…eating meat will burn up to 40% more calories than the ready-made protein shakes and the lean meat will enhance the gut work out by chewing, digesting, absorbing, and transforming the nutrients. Coffee, pepper, and chewy veggies are good metabolism enhancers. Good fat such as avocado, nuts, egg yolks are helpful too. Drinking 8 glasses of water per day is essential to improve metabolism, and burn fat.

These are a few of the ideas explored in “Fat-Me-Not” and you can check out more at www.slimplatesystem.com.

Good luck with that itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini!

The only fat Feds recognize is your behind

The Only Fat the Federal Government Recognizes Is on Your Behind from the files of Michael Shannon



Meet the Obama's

The National Institute of Heath functions as sort of a Job Corps for academic researchers that specialize in the trivial.
Since the public continually fails to live up to the expectations of our betters in Washington, DC more research is needed on how to improve us. Willingly or not.

While one arm of Big Government is busy fighting 'hunger,' the NIH has opened a second front on obesity.

Most conservatives would think both problems can't exist simultaneously, but we don't have tax dollars burning a hole in our pocket.
