How your daily gut busting routine may actually be preventing weight loss and pushing you closer to death


In western cultures like ours, countries like the U.S., UK, Australia, Canada and other European nations, what’s the first thing that anybody thinks of or tells you whenever the idea of weight loss is brought up?  You’ve got to hit the treadmill, exercise bike or the streets and burn those calories!

On the surface of it, this makes sense, right?  After all, you’re doing a lot of work and you’re sweating and breathing heavy.  Surely running a few miles every day must be dissolving those unsightly LB’s like crazy, right?

Would you be surprised to hear that this is actually wrong?

No, I’m not crazy – let me lay it out for you…

Yes, cardio does burn calories, it’s true.  And yes, some cardio is good for you.  Light cardio promotes a healthy heart and increases your endurance.  On the other hand, though… heavy cardio actually begins to have the opposite effects.

Before I get into why, let me give you a simple but common sense example.  Imagine pre-historic Man.  These men and women are running around the Paleolithic world chasing down antelope, red deer, aurox, bison and the occasional wooly mammoth.  Most of their diet comes from animal protein and what edible plants they can scrounge.

Well, if cardio was so great for losing weight, these people would simply starve to death while running down their food.  All that cardio would burn through their energy reserves faster than they could replace them.  Yet they didn’t starve to death… why?



For one thing, a lot of heavy cardio is hard on your knees and feet.  Second, it’s also hard on the heart.  Too much cardio actually begins to add scar tissue to your heart and increases your rate of heart attack.  We didn’t realize that for a while until many scientific studies were done on the subject.

As for losing weight, excessive cardio actually has the reverse effect and here’s why.  Our bodies are genetically designed to survive.  Our body’s job is to store energy as fuel both for its immediate use and in the form of fat for those times when food is scarce.  In modern times, of course, food isn’t really scarce, so this built in safety feature is rarely needed.

However, when you deprive your body of the nutrients it requires, either by starving yourself on some crazy diet or by over-taxing your body with lots of cardio, it begins to switch into survival mode. 
Additionally, and unfortunately with heavy cardio, your body also becomes anabolic.

This means that it begins to burn the most effective source of energy first – and that’s not fat… it’s your muscle.  Take a good look at some of these chronic long distance runners who compete.  Many of them are kind of stringy looking and have to pack in the carbs just to maintain their muscle mass.

You want your body to burn fat, not muscle, obviously.  It’s not really about calories, as many diets and so-called fitness gurus try to make you believe.  Calories are only a means of measuring food energy.  Yes, if you want to lose weight, you must take in less calories than you consume, yet there’s so much more to it than that.

The biggest secret to weight loss isn’t running 10 miles every day, starving yourself or even avoiding some of your favorite carbs, believe it or not.  In fact, if you’re going to lose weight properly, it’s actually important that you do eat some of your favorite foods!

I know that sounds crazy, too – but it’s absolutely true, and I can prove it to you!  If you know how to use your body’s natural processes to your advantage, it’s entirely possible to lose 10, 20 or even 30+ pounds in a single month without starvation diets, gut wrenching cardio, ridiculous workouts and eating anything gross!  It’s true and I can show you the science to prove it!

1. FODMAPs

“FODMAPs” is a fancy acronym for “Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.”

That’s quite a mouthful... but the name isn’t important. What matters is how they can wreck your digestive health.

FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate (carb) that your small intestine has trouble digesting properly.

You can find FODMAPs in a lot of foods that would be healthy for you… if you didn’t have digestive problems.

The solution? Stay away from these foods for at least a month:
Fruits: apples, avocados, cherries, mangos, peaches, pears, and watermelons
Vegetables: asparagus, artichokes, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, eggplant, garlic, onion

After your gut heals, you can slowly add FODMAPs back into your diet and see how your digestion goes.

2. Coffee and Caffeine

Coffee’s great for a quick jolt of energy…

But it can cause CHAOS in your digestive system.

We’re talking stomach cramps, diarrhea, and constipation. Even if it doesn’t have those effects on you, it can make other digestive problems worse.

Coffee is also loaded with caffeine, which can cause digestive issue like irritable bowel disease or a leaky gut.

Did you know that a ton of people with digestive issues like IBD or leaky gut ALSO have problems with their adrenal glands? Yep. Caffeine messes with those too.

Save yourself the pain and give your body time to heal. Take a “caffeine break” for 30 days and see how you feel.

“So, What Do I Do Next?”

Did you know that the foods you eat don't just affect the way you feel? They also affect the way you LOOK. So if you're unhappy with your skin, your DIET (not just your age and lifestyle) could be to blame.

Some foods are great for you—inside and out…

So if you want healthy, radiant skin, eating more of them is one of the smartest things you can do!

But most people don't know that. They end up spending stacks of cash on beauty "products" and spreading artificial chemicals on themselves hoping to look better.

YOU deserve better than that.

What are the best foods you can eat for healthier skin?

Keep reading to find out...

Drinking a few cups of green tea a day isn’t just relaxing -- it’s one of the most important things you can do to look younger!

Tea leaves are full of antioxidants that protect your cells, fight inflammation, and keep out harmful toxins.

Green tea also has compounds called “catechins” that increase the blood flow and oxygen to your skin. This makes it easier to get nutrients, which keeps your skin look amazing.

A 2011 study published in the journal Nutrition found that people who drank green tea every day for 12 weeks had smoother skin than people who didn’t. The green tea-drinkers even had less sun damage after they were exposed to UV light!

University of Alabama and Case Western Reserve University researchers also came to the conclusion that green tea might even reduce your risk of skin cancer.

One of the best ways to keep your skin healthy: avoid inflammation in your body. Reducing inflammation helps all kinds of skin issues, whether you’re battling a specific condition or just looking for a healthier glow.

Eating more fish helps you do just that!

Fish are full of omega-3 fatty acids. Most of us aren’t getting nearly enough of these. But they’re KEY to fighting inflammation.

Studies have found that adding omega-3s to your diet reduces puffiness and improves skin health. Bottom line: eat more fish, and get smoother, younger-looking skin.

You can find the most omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna, and cod. Focus on those to get the most bang for your buck.

Don’t be fooled by their small size.Berries pack a serious skin-clearing punch!

They’re loaded with “antioxidants,” chemicals that flush toxins out of your body. A lot of foods have some antioxidants, but few have more than berries…

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistryfound that blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries have the highest “total antioxidant capacity” of any food.

These antioxidants improve your skin by protecting it from aging, sun damage, and stress.

So eating berries means fewer wrinkles, dry skin, and creases in your forehead…

Nutritionist Samantha Heller says, “when you help protect the cells from damage and disintegration, you also guard against premature aging. In this respect, these fruits may very well help keep your skin looking younger longer.”

Walnuts are great for your skin. According to Dr. David Bank, the omega-3 fatty acids inside them make your skin more elastic. Walnuts are the only type of nut that have a significant amount of omega-3s.

Walnuts are also high in “biotin,” a B vitamin that helps moisturize dry skin and overcome conditions like eczema.

Eating Brazil nuts is another great way to keep your skin looking its best…

Brazil nuts are loaded with selenium, a mineral that boosts your immune system and can reverse skin conditions like acne!

It takes just two Brazil nuts a day to get enough selenium. Toss those in with a handful of walnuts, and your skin will look better in no time.

Olive oil gets rid of toxins from your body and fights inflammation (which can lead to all kinds of health problems).

That makes it good for your heart and brain… and also great for your skin.

When you eat olive oil, you take in a good dose of antioxidants and healthy fats, which leave your skin looking healthier and younger.

Olive oil gets rid of toxins from your body and fights inflammation (which can lead to all kinds of health problems).

Getting enough “good fats” is a key part of keeping your skin healthy. A Japanese study found that people who ate more saturated and monounsaturated fats had fewer wrinkles and more elastic skin than people who ate less.

A 2012 study in the Public Library of Science found that the more olive oil you eat, the fewer signs of aging skin.Olive oil beat every other type of oil the researchers tested!

Now that you know which foods make your skin look great, it’s time to make them a regular part of your diet.
