I appreciate your article of success. But the reality is that one can not lose weight by exercising. This accepts the antiquated idea that we are steam engines and all we have to do is burn the off off or burn up the calories like a steam engine burns coal.
To lose weight and keep it off we must understand the cause of weight gain in the first place. The cause of weight gain is mineral deficiency. It is often said that we are what we eat. The fact is we are what we can absorb. When we ruin our digestive tract by eating the wrong foods such as wheat, barley, rye and oats we are unable to absorb nutrition. You may notice that these foods all contain GLUTEN.
80% of the public is gluten intolerant. This means that when we eat gluten in bread, pasta, cereals, ice cream, gravies, sauces etc. we end up corrupting our our digestive tracts and destroying the absorption mechanism.
Further, the foods that we eat are devoid of the minerals that humans require to be healthy. There are 90+ vitamins and minerals that are required. There is no way that a person can eat all 90+ nutrients in today’s diet.
The idea that exercise is the key to losing weight is a myth. That is like saying people are fat because they are lazy and lack exercise. In fact, exercising may put added stress on the body causing it to become more deficient and telling the body to store carbohydrates as fat.
