While you are learning about how to eat clean, non-toxic foods on your Genesis plan, it is also important to supply the body with the help it needs to undo some of the damage that has been done while your body repairs.

The word “diet” produces all kinds of dread – and not just mentally and emotionally. There are even huge downsides to “dieting” physically that you’ve probably never even heard about. By dieting, we are talking about something called “weight cycling.” Some refer to it as yo-yo dieting. Either way you define it, we’re talking about a pattern of dieting to lose weight, gaining weight back, then dieting again. Read More

• Clarify and define cheat,  cheats are not an excuse to eat anything,  A cheat is a special treat not a feast,  Have variety and nutritious foods for cheat,  Get right back on plan after cheat

The word “cheat” should be clarified or defined when you decide you are going to do it. If my mindset is, “Saturday is coming, and I’m going to eat as much as I want and whatever I want,” then you’re going to be in trouble. Cheats are not an excuse to eat as much of anything we want. Read More

• Cheat days,  put a cheat in the right context,  planned cheat,  a cheat is an exception not the rule,  make better decisions in the moment of temptation

Cheat days have the potential to really take us off track and bring back all those cravings we had under control. They can be a very slippery slope, for sure. On the other hand, because it’s really rare to have a client who never cheats at all (although we actually do have them), cheats can be kind of like the release valve on a pressure cooker for some.

• proper amount of dietary salt,  Salt plays an important role in nervous system,  Cardiovascular issues from low salt,  correlation between blood pressure and salt

Everybody is confused about salt, and with good reason. Not even the major health organizations in our country agree with one another on the proper amount of dietary salt. While their recommendations have continued to decline overall, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) 2020-2025 guidelines recommend the average intake of sodium to be about 2,300 mg per day, which was revised down from a previous recommendation of 3,300 mg.

Food isn’t cheap if it leads to obesity, diabetes and all sorts of chronic diseases. But unfortunately, the grocery bill is a reality for everyone. A big part of the problem is that most people don’t really realize the negative effects of so many of the foods they are eating, whether it’s in the moment or long term. Read More

We need to eat foods that will not spike blood sugar and create a fast spike in insulin. Those are the foods on your GHS plan. They create a slow, steady release of insulin that will not cause the body to store fat. Many of the foods that aren’t present on our plan are removed, first and foremost, for that reason. Read More

There are some very sound body chemistry principles taking place behind every food you put into your body.

We don’t make up the rules… we just explain them to you to help you succeed. So, let’s look at some of those foods and explain the concepts related to how they interfere with weight loss. Read More

If we approach our weight loss as something we would like to obtain, but don’t really believe we can get there or stay there, then we will be less likely to be successful. Many of us have traveled down the weight loss road so many times that we believe we can put a dent in our weight for a while, but the idea of permanent change for us seems unattainable. Regardless of the goal that someone is trying to reach, there are some common traps we can all fall into, especially if we aren’t aware of what they are or that they even exist. Read More

Perseverance isn’t a gift or talent, like being an artist or mathematician. It is a character quality we have to develop. Perhaps that’s why it’s not so widely sought after – because it doesn’t yield immediate gratification. It is a process we continue in until we get good at it. That’s why we call it a journey.
