Why Food Is Our Most Powerful Medicine

Introduction

The Resurrection Eating Plan is not a diet. Diets don’t work, that’s a fact of life. The Resurrection Eating Plan is a healing strategy designed to harness the power of food to:

• Reverse metabolic damage
• Rebalance your hormonal system
• Restore the “feel” good chemicals in your brain
• Eliminate food and sweet cravings
• Improve and stabilize your physical and mental energy levels
• Activate fat burning
• Prevent and potentially reverse disease

The Resurrection Eating Plan has nothing to do with calorie restriction or deprivation. The food is delicious and the plan is very simple to follow. It’s not about being perfect or feeling guilty. It’s about understanding the power of food to either create health or destroy it.

How the Resurrection Eating Plan Works

The Plan is designed to accomplish 5 things:

• Prevent damaging “insulin spikes”. This is devastating to your metabolism and may be the single most powerful disease causing factor in modern society.
• Prevent “rebound stress” . Insulin spikes are an over-reaction that must be compensated for by releasing the stress hormones, Adrenalin and Cortisol. This “rebound stress” is a “silent but deadly” form of stress that slowly destroys your health.
• Prevent inflammation. Modern science accepts the fact that almost every disease and condition starts with inflammation. The lack of good fats and the consumption of bad fats is the main cause.
• Rebuild, repair, maintain, and produce energy. You eat food to drive metabolism. Metabolism is the sum total of all the bio-chemical and biological activities that are necessary to sustain life. In other words, food is transformed into the molecules that drive the process known as LIFE! Can you think of something more important?
• Find the optimal Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates ratio for you. Your body has a unique need for a mixture of foods that match your metabolic and genetic requirements. The most rejuvenating and healing process on earth is when your metabolism is given the optimal ratio of life sustaining foods.

We know that if we can help you accomplish these five things then you’re mind and body will be resurrected!

However, we also know that the foods you may be eating are damaging your metabolism and sentencing you to a life of frustrating symptoms, stubborn weight gain, emotional instability and poor self confidence.

That’s why knowing what to eat and what not to eat are equally important. So let’s start with…

What NOT to Eat

Any food that causes insulin spikes, rebound stress, and inflammation is a major cause of your problems and needs to be avoided or dramatically reduced. Foods that cannot be “bio-transformed” into the molecules that sustain life will, to be blunt, promote death. Practically speaking, the types of food that cause the most problems in today’s world are what we call “bad carbohydrates” and “bad fats and oils.”

Bad carbohydrates are the reason for insulin spikes and the major cause of rebound stress. Bad fats and oils promote inflammation, the precursor to just about every disease known. (Please read our report 90 Days to a New Life to learn more).

Bad Carbohydrates

At the root of the most powerful disease causing process in modern society is the insane over consumption of refined sugars, starches and grains. Collectively we call them bad carbohydrates. The danger of these bad carbohydrates comes from the fact that they are “socially acceptable.” In fact, you “reward” yourself with the very thing that causes more metabolic destruction than anything on earth. Every time you eat white sugar, white flour, white bread, white rice, soda pop, fruit juice, high fructose corn syrup, cakes, candies, doughnuts, pies, pastries, honey, molasses, syrup…you get the idea, you disrupt the most powerful hormones in your body, the hormones of metabolism. This causes a silent but deadly process that has to be reversed or you have zero chance of walking this earth as a healthy, happy, energetic and symptom free woman. When we look at the “total load” of most women we find the over consumption of bad carbohydrates to be their main “dominant burden.” (See: 90 Days to a New Life report for an explanation of total load and dominant burdens.) The good news is that our program helps to dramatically reduce the cravings for refined sugars and starches (in some cases addictions!) and offers delicious alternatives.

Bad Fats and Oils

Perhaps the worst advice ever given, especially to women, was the high carbohydrate, low fat diet. Millions of women avoided fats at all costs and filled up on bread, pasta and sweets. As a result, the national problem we had with weight gain and obesity at that time (in the 1970’s) has exploded into an epidemic of unbelievable proportions. Almost 70 per cent of Americans are overweight and close to 40 per cent are clinically obese today. The lesson learned was two fold.

• Bad carbohydrates are the primary reason for the epidemic of obesity.
• Fats and Oils are absolutely necessary for optimal health.

So what do we mean by “bad fats and oils?” Well, it’s really very simple. Since fats and oils are so important to optimal health then the last thing you want is to ruin their ability to keep you healthy. However, that’s exactly what the food industry has done. These vital nutrients have been refined, over-heated, denatured, de-odorized and loaded with chemical preservatives. The good fats that we need to prevent inflammation in the body have been turned into the exact opposite. Inflammation producing monsters! They are hydrogenated oils, partially hydrogenated oils, margarine, lard, certain saturated fats and refined, de-odorized oils. We are going to teach you the right fats and oils to eat. Your part is to stay away from the bad fats and oils that are killing any chance you have for the quality of life you’re looking for. This issue is so important that one of our core supplements, Essential Factors, is a mixture of therapeutic essential fatty acids that are proven to be an absolutely vital part of woman’s health and well being.

What To Eat

The secret to the Resurrection Eating Plan is to know the correct proteins, fats and carbohydrates to eat and understand your “starting ratio.” We list all the foods in the protein, fat and carbohydrate categories and tell you which one to eat and which ones to avoid. Your “starting ratio” is simply a way to look at a plate of food or a snack in order to balance the proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

There is nothing complicated about the Resurrection Eating Plan. The right food is real food! We have them all listed for you, we tell you the optimal choices, acceptable choices and what you have to stay away from. We give you sample menus and we will continually update and add new recipes to the website or by email. However, there are a few rules you need to understand to get the best results possible.

Breakfast is very important

But probably not for the reasons you think. You cannot start your day with an insulin spike or you will be a metabolic wreck and a fat storing machine until the next day! Breakfast is no different than any other meal, you need protein, fat and carbohydrate. You have to rethink the cultural conditioning associated with breakfast. If you are eating cereal, bagels, juice, pop tarts, doughnuts or any refined, starchy, sugary mess in the morning you are killing yourself! If you have a cup or more of coffee and eat nothing you are killing yourself even faster. You absolutely must start your day with the right mixture of protein, fat and carbohydrate so you set the stage for the next 24 hours in front of you. You don’t have to eat a lot because some people are just not hungry in the morning. But you have to establish a habit of getting quality food in your body before you start your day full on. (more on this later).

No skipping meals

Your metabolism, your hormonal system and your brain get thrown into a panic when you let your reserves get to low for to long. You start eating yourself alive! It’s much more than just “low blood sugar.” It’s a major stress that contributes to metabolic damage, hormonal imbalance and disruption of those “feel good” chemicals in your brain. It also forces your metabolism into fat storage. This is a particular problem for you ladies. You can get busy and “forget” to eat for long periods. Now you are either so famished you can’t think or no longer hungry. Both are ways your brain has to compensate but the damage has been done. Give your body good quality food at regular intervals and your progress will be better than you could of ever imagined.

Eat Three to Five Smaller Meals a Day

Especially if you want to lose weight! Does that sound a little counter-intuitive? Well, you may have tried calorie restriction, how did that work for you? There are three main reasons why eating three to five meals a day is the only solution. Not just for weight loss but for pre-menopause, menopause and post menopausal symptoms and fatigue!

Digestion improves your metabolic rate. Insulin spikes and rebound stress is controlled which balances out your hormonal system. You will maintain your muscle tissue. Muscle is your most effective fat burner!

Every woman’s appetite is different so don’t force-feed yourself. But many of you have been eating like little birds thinking it’s the only way to control your weight. It’s a great way to feel deprived, binge, feel bad about your self and gain weight.

If you follow the Resurrection Eating Plan and take our formula for healthy weight loss called SlimActin, you are guaranteed to lose weight! You will do it eating healthy, delicious food three to five times per day!

Its A Process

You’re not expected to be perfect. There is no reason to feel guilty about eating something that you know isn’t on the list. You are going come face to face with your own emotional triggers and habitual patterns surrounding food. Giving up all that sugar for some of you is going to be uncomfortable however it is destroying your health and the quality of your life along with it. Yes, it’s addicting. So is heroine! Addicting things ruin people’s lives and the only solution is to stop. Our Core Supplements will help to dramatically reduce the cravings. Unlike drugs, there are great alternatives to refined sugar, flour and starch.

The food industry knows how to get inside your head. Every man, women and child in the United States now eats between 150 and 170 pounds of refined sugar per year! Almost a half a pound of sugar a day! Twenty years ago it was less than 30 pounds a year! That does not include all the other refined white stuff that is equally as bad. (white flour, white rice, white bread etc.).

Most of the bad fats you are consuming are in the doughnuts, cakes, cookies, crackers, chocolates and desserts that supply all the sugar and refined flour. If there is one thing you have to hear it’s this. It is impossible to consume that much refined sugar, flour, starch and bad fat without putting yourself on a crash course with disease! This is metabolic suicide sanctioned by the food industry, overlooked by the medical profession and misunderstood by the vast majority of our population.

As long as you understand that bad carbohydrates and bad fats are proven, disease causing factors that are also responsible for your metabolic damage, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, weight gain and laundry list of symptoms then you have to manage your intake as you see fit. Think of it this way. Smoking three packs of cigarettes a day is different than smoking a pack every two weeks. Not smoking eliminates the problem all together.

This insane over-consumption of refined sugar, flour and starch can produce type 2 diabetes in a 6 year old child. It takes thirty or forty years of smoking to produce a major degenerative or metabolic disease. You tell me what’s worse.

Take it one step at a time but don’t lose track of why you’re doing it. Our core supplement program, FactorUp am/pm and Essential Factors is designed to reverse the damage caused by bad carbohydrates and bad fats to your metabolism, hormones and feel good chemicals in your brain! It doesn’t make much sense to keep the fire burning strong while we are trying to put it out!

The Life Factor Research 90 Day Program is your opportunity to regain your health, energy and vitality!

Your Starting Protein & Fats to Carbohydrate Ratio

Every time you eat you are consuming a certain ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Eat a bagel and you have a very high ratio of carbohydrate compared to protein and fat. Eat a steak by itself and you have the opposite.

The key to your success with the Resurrection Eating Plan is quality food in the right ratios at every meal. Remember, your body is already suffering or you wouldn’t have symptoms, fatigue or weight gain. You have to rebuild, rebalance and heal. Quality food in the right ratios is converted into the molecules capable of healing and regenerating. Our targeted natural medicines dramatically accelerate that process.

This is what your starting ratio should look like. I’m not going to give it to you in numbers because that has proven to be more confusing. There’s a much simpler way, by example.

On your plate you have a nice piece of salmon.
In equal proportions you have non-starchy vegetables.
Add a smaller amount of starchy vegetable or grain (about half the non-starchy amount).
Add a small amount of fats and oils if needed. (salad dressing, butter etc.).

That’s it!

Substitute salmon for any protein you have on your list.
Use any combination of non-starchy vegetables you have on your list.
Use any starchy vegetable or grain you have on your list.
Use any of the fats and oils on your list.

Guidelines for Success

Fueling your body with good foods not only honors your body, it honors YOU. It will make you feel good about the way you are treating yourself while making your body function as nature intended it to, to feel good, move well, respond to stresses effectively, cleanse itself, heal itself. There is a cycle of feeling good physically that helps us feel good mentally and emotionally, and feeling good mentally and emotionally helps your body function well and feel well!

Fueling your body does not have to be difficult or complicated.
Start with making a promise to yourself to treat yourself healthy and feel good.

Every time you put something in your mouth ask yourself this: Will this food honor my body and am I treating myself well by eating it?

You will know the honest answer to the question. Your body will tell you when you have lied to yourself! It will feel sluggish, you may have “brain fog”, indigestion or you may simply not feel good about having just broken a promise to yourself to treat yourself good! If you’ve found you haven’t lived up to your promise, don’t kick yourself, make a more honored choice the next time.

The primary function of food in our lives is to fuel the body. You need to fuel your body’s organs, systems, brain, muscles. Food should make your body and your mind, feel good and function well, not drag you down. You can feel the difference when you have fueled your body well.
