By Dr. Gary Young
In the Lifestyle FitnessProgram I gave you different diet suggestions and ideas. I am going to share another one with you because there are so many different metabolisms, there are so many different conditions that we struggle with, and I feel that I am probably one of the greatest candidates that exists because of my own condition and what I have been through that has made burning fat almost virtually impossible.

I am going to share another one with you because there are so many different metabolisms, there are so many different conditions that we struggle with, and I feel that I am probably one of the greatest candidates that exists because of my own condition and what I have been through that has made burning fat almost virtually impossible.
Personal Scenario
I will tell you a simple scenario: I dropped 23-24 pounds
during my competition last fall and I was really charged. I was excited. I was feeling good! I replaced it with 17 pounds of lean muscle
mass.
After my injury I had to stop working out based on the
doctor’s advice (which was wise). I
agreed, but in changing that I didn’t deviate from my diet and I didn’t stop
everything completely. Instead of
working out on the recumbent bike four hours a week, I went to elliptical four
hours a week, so I just shifted some of the things I was doing.
I wasn’t doing the real heavy strength training because I
couldn’t put pressure on my back, so I did light rubber bands, but I kept
physically engaged.
Depressing Weight Gain
I took off for Japan
and China for 2½ weeks and I gained 21 pounds back. I still did my exercises as much as I could in my room–my push ups, my little
leg lifts, walking backwards down the hall.
When I was in Japan I had access to the gym in the hotel and so I would
go down and get on the treadmill and fast walk. I tried to maintain and keep up with some
form of fitness program. I didn’t alter my diet that much, but I gained back 21
pounds while I was gone during that period!
That is not really motivating; it gets kind of depressing!. I got home and told Mary, “I am going
back to working out. I cannot stand this
excess weight.” She said, “Well..it
doesn’t look like you have gained any excess weight to me.” I said, “Honey–look below my chin!” She is so precious; I swear I could be 300
pounds and she would still say, “You look wonderful.” What a great companion!
A Strenuous Schedule
But I was the one who had to be satisfied, so I went back to
working out, and this is what I was doing:
I did one solid hour of strength training six days a week. I did 1½ hours of aerobics six days a week,
and sometimes I did my aerobics at 1:00 a.m to get it in. I would do my strength training for a solid
hour in the morning and as I finished it I would get on the elliptical or the
stair climber and I would go for a solid half hour and I would burn 380
calories on the stair climber. Then when
I would get home at night from the office or farm or wherever I had been I
would get back on the stair climber or the elliptical and I would go full-tilt
for 50 minutes and burn another 380-400 calories.
What was Missing?
I was burning up 700-800 calories a day. I was only consuming about 2000 calories total–and I did that for two
weeks–chugging an average of a gallon of water
daily, maintaining my 40-30-30, 50-30-20 average in there–and I only
lost four pounds. I burned off four
pounds!
At this point it is very easy for someone to
say..”P-f-f-f!–and that wasn’t considering the calories I was burning during
the day, and this was considering that when you work strength training for one
solid hour on a regular routine you will burn an average of 250 calories in an
hour of strength training.
So I was burning an average of 1000 calories a day–and I
burned off four pounds! I could have
taken a diuretic and gotten rid of four pounds, or six ComforTone–and probably shed four pounds! That really wasn’t motivating to me after two
weeks of jamming.
Many with Similar Problems
I told Mary, “I know there are many people who have the same
problem that I do because seven years of heavy medication messed my body up
big-time. It destroyed my thyroid
function, destroyed my digestive system, destroyed my hormonal balance. If anyone says, ‘I am struggling getting my
health back..’ believe me, I know what they are talking about! That is why I keep working at it. If I can find the thing that works for me,
maybe it will help those who have gone to the same place I have and are saying,
‘Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow the fat’s going to eat me..’ and they
just give up.”
Coming back from the office I said, “Honey, I am going to try
something totally different.” She said,
“What are you going to do?” I said, “I
have been a vegetarian for 25 years. I
was a strict vegetarian for 12 years.
I felt really good as a vegetarian.
When I was in my clinic I ate the best I have ever eaten in my life
because I had cooks that I trained who took care of me and fed me my three
squares a day and my herbal tea and my juices in between, and I felt fantastic. But with the lifestyle I have now it doesn’t
work–it is not too often a cook can even find me, so it is difficult to
maintain that.” I said, “I do know that
because of it I have become a carbohydrate addict. I am addicted to
carbohydrates–and especially bread!”
Carbohydrates can be Addictive
I grew up on bread and milk–it was homemade bread. I can eat a slice of bread and by the time it
disappears in my mouth it materializes on my waist! I didn’t realize the gift I
had as a magician–the magic I could work in my own body making things
materialize! I knew I had to get away from it, so this is what I did and it has
been really interesting. This may
help some of you.
I chose to change my diet.
I am taking 180 to 200 grams of protein a day and I do it mostly with and the best vegetarian Protein powder on the Planet PowerMeal. I push it really
hard by using egg whites, called Eggology, and we carry that at the Fitness
Center. I pour in one cup of egg white
in my blender in the morning; I put in two scoops of Power Meal and that gives me a total of 60 grams of protein.
Unique Protein Program
Then I will throw in a scoop of PowerMeal so that I have a little carbohydrate in there–because
with WheyFit and egg white you have
almost zero carbohydrates. I will get 68
grams of protein just in one drink. I do that drink right after my workout.
My breakfast consists of another four egg whites 1½ hours
later and a ground organic chicken liver patty which gives me 20-30 grams of
protein, so by the time I finish my drink after my workout and my breakfast I
have consumed pretty close to 80 grams of protein. I average about 20-60 grams of carbohydrates
and about 20 grams of fat throughout the day.
I am consuming a total of 1500 calories and I have stopped my
rigid cardiovascular exercises except for 1½ hours a week, 30 minutes every
other day. I went from nine hours of
cardiovascular I was doing a week before. I cut my carbohydrates down to under
100 grams a day; I cut my fats down to under 30 grams a day and when I mix my PowerMeal and my WheyFit drink I put in a tablespoon of Omega 6 and 9 and blend it
all together.
Weight Loss in Seven Days!
I went on with my strength training as I had been doing
before. In seven days I dropped eleven
pounds! Now here is the thing that is
really important. This is not a diet you
want to live on. This is a diet to break
the carbohydrate barrier–and that is what I have discovered for myself. I was addicted to carbohydrates; I had created
an imbalance in my body such that I had to go to the extreme the other way in
order to break that barrier and then start bringing the balance back, and it is
so wonderful!
I do Thyromin by taking four in the morning when I drink
my Power Meal protein drink, then I take four more just before I have my lunch-time
meal. I maintain an average of about five times a day of food intake, but it
is moderate intake. I am not eating five
big meals. I have breakfast, then midday where
I’ll have another PowerMeal drink or a Power Bar. I have a little chicken. In fact, at
lunch-time I’ll have six to eight ounces of chicken and I’ll eat maybe an ounce
of green salad and that’s it, or the next day I’ll have six to ten ounces of
chicken and I’ll eat an ounce to two ounces of fruit, like cantaloupe or
watermelon. I keep it very minimal. Then I will have the PowerMeal in
the afternoon and I’ll have a little chicken and a little bit more salad or a
raw vegetable in the evening.
Calculating the Totals
I go through and calculate my carbohydrates and my protein and
my fats, and I total it up to see where I
am coming in on the range. I look
at the calories I am taking in and I have not yet exceeded 1200 calories a day
and I am burning an average of 300 to 350 calories a day, so that’s putting me
under 1000 calories for my intake that
day–and I am building muscle on that.
The average person will say..”No, that’s not possible. The body building world, the fitness world
will tell you that you have to take in 3000 to 4000 calories a day in order to
build muscle. That is true if you are
taking steroids and are trying to lift 500 pounds of weight, but that’s not what I am doing.
Breaking the Carbohydrate Barrier
When you have arrived at that plateau where nothing is
working, then this is an indication that you have reached that barrier in your
life and your have to go extremes to break the barrier. I do that.
I stay on that diet for 5-6 days and then I do carbohydrates because you
need the carbohydrates to bring the glucose up from the blood, and if you don’t
you are going to feel your energy waning and dropping off and you are going to
feel fatigued and tired. When you do
that you know you are dropping on your
carbs and your glucose levels are dropping, so take one day to load the body
back up with carbohydrates.
Go to your vegetables.
Stay away from pasta and stay away from bread. It is a deadly poison in your body and I
don’t care if it is Ezekiel Bread. If
you have the condition I have, Ezekiel
Bread will stick right here in your middle just as quickly as Wonder Bread
will! It is part of that carbohydrate
addiction in your body, so stick with your green vegetables and your fruits
because they help with the cleansing as well, and that is really important.
Add a Little ICP
Another thing I do every single day–and I do it at night–is
take two heaping tablespoons of ICP
in water. Periodically I will put an ounce of apple juice in there just to give
it a little more flavor to gag it down. This has been exceptionally beneficial
because the ICP helps pull the waste
through and helps in absorbing toxins from my body.
Then I started doing the Ledum–20
drops in a capsule–at night. It is
interesting because you wake up and you can taste Ledum and it has a very interesting taste–you’ll really enjoy
it!
Ledum and Poisons Release
The function it is creating in my body (moving the fluids and
poisons out through the kidneys and the colon) have been really most
interesting. It will get you up two or
three times during the night for the first few weeks when it starts more
poisons from your body. It has been very rewarding.
Just pay attention to your energy levels; that is your best
barometer. You might go three days and have to put in a 1000 calories of
carbohydrates and then go another three days on high protein and then put in
another 1000 to 1500 calories of carbohydrates.
Then see if you can go four days on the high protein and then a day of
carbs and high protein and a day of carbs. Once you get your weight burned off
and you get back into balance, then you can come back to a 50–30-20 or 40–30-30
program and you will be able to maintain it quite adequately. This is not the type of diet you are
going to want to live on the rest of your life.
One of the things that is very important to remember (and this is why
you have got to load the carbs in there every third day or every fifth day) is
if you stay heavy with protein then you are going to create ketosis in the body
and you are going to have some problems.
Avoid Ketosis
I also do 18 Essentialzymes
a day–six three times a day–so I can facilitate digesting that protein so I
don’t create ketosis and facilitate moving it through the body. When you are out of balance, and you get as
far out of balance as I have been, it may take (as I have found for myself),
drastic measures to bring it back into balance.
The more mature I become the more I realize that I have got to make a
stronger commitment to achieve the goals I want for myself because I love life
and I don’t want to have my life compromised by having even one hour of
dysfunction because of being sick or having headaches or other things people
out there talk about that none of us know of or experience. The more healthy we can be, the more
productive we can be. That is extremely
important.
Benefits of Strength Training
Let’s go into strength training and some of the benefits
of lifting weights. How many of you absolutely detest lifting
weights? I used to think that lifting
dumb-bells was for dumbbells and (as I shared with you last year) I had never
lifted weights in my life to speak of other than when I was in high school, and
I just did it to show off. I didn’t do
it because I really wanted to or had a purpose–it was just to show off.
I was blessed with tremendous strength as a youngster, and I
think a lot of that had to do with the way I was raised. The genetics naturally have something to do
with it and also the way we ate and the way we worked. What is the point of picking up the 45#
barbell when you are stacking hay by hand all day long?
When I was 14 my buddy and I contracted to bring hay from the
field and put it in a stack in the barnyard for the winter. Between the two of us we would stack 1000
bales a day–that was loading it on the slip, taking it to the barn and putting
it in the barn, and sometimes the distance from the fields to the barn was 1½
miles. The bales were 80 to 100# each
and we would stack 1000 bales a day.
That was good money. We
contracted at 10¢ a bale in those days.
My buddies were working for 50¢ an hour and I was earning $50 to $60 a
day! After that you don’t really feel
like going home and lifting weights! I
would say that if you were all doing that, you wouldn’t have to lift weights either, but since that doesn’t happen too
often these days, lifting weight is really important.
Makes a New Person of You!
I can share with you from my own experience that since I have
started doing it and made the switch in my brain, I feel like I’m deficient if
I don’t do my weight training every day.
It has become almost an addiction because you feel so good after you do
it. For a man, that serves his ego a
little bit. When you go down and work
out you get that blood going in those muscles and come up and show them off,
and you get that little bulge right there, and your sweetheart grabs you and
says, “Oh honey, that’s neat!” Yes, it
really does a man good.
Some of the interesting things with strength training are such
as: A study published in the American Medical
Association said that women who do strength training wound up smaller,
not larger. Some of them drastically
slenderized their bodies without losing a pound because they burned off the fat
and replaced it with lean muscle mass.
In fact, fat takes up five times more space than muscle. Resistance training
generates one of the largest rises in growth hormone of any exercise.
Change of Mind Set
You folks may have to do what I had to do because I really
thought that lifting weights was so retarded.
I would go to the gym, walk in and look around and think, “Oh my, this
is disgusting!” and I generally would walk back out. I thought, “This is not for me.” so I got my
own stuff and did my own thing at home.
Working Out at Home
Part of the reason for that is because when I started lifting
weights the maximum I was able to do was 35# on a bench press. That is really embarrassing when you go to a
gym and you see a guy over on the bench and he is doing a one-arm kickback with 45# and you go over and
pick up 45# and you can’t lift it, and you finally manage to get 5# and you
walk over to your bench and look around to see who’s watching you..and you know
they are thinking, “What a wuss–he’s only lifting 5#!” You put it down and when everybody is looking
you go over to the 45# and act like you are setting it down!
I felt humiliated to go into a gym when I couldn’t lift
weights, so I did it at home and I got started.
I don’t have a problem going into a gym now and competing with
anybody. It feels wonderful!
As I started doing it and began to see the physical changes in
my body I got more and more excited, but that first six weeks I would get up in
the morning and put on my workout clothes and I would look back at my bed and I
would say. “You are absolutely stupid!”
I would talk to myself and finally go down to my workout room and start
through my routine.
Companionship is Great!
It is really helpful when you have someone to do it with
because it kind of motivates you when your motivation drops off. After the first couple of weeks Mary started
coming down and working out with me and that just changed the whole world for
me because I had my companion with me and we were doing something together
where she was supporting me in the competition that I entered.
As I started seeing and feeling the differences and started feeling my energy coming up when I
started going from 5# to 10# I thought, “Wow, something is really happening
here..” that is really motivating!
Study the Benefits
Here is what I had to do..I had to start focusing on the
absolute benefits of what strength training was going to do for me and forget
about everything else. I had to just
look at the benefits and I had to find one that really drove me because if you
don’t, you let every little thing that comes a long stop you from doing it. So I started reading and studying. I subscribed to Muscle Fitness and Muscle
Media and Flex and surrounded
myself with ppl who had been there and done that.
Great Motivators
The reason I did it (particularly with Muscle Fitness) was they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on
research and it was very exciting, so I started reading some of this
research. Some of the things I read
were: A study conducted at the University of Florida by Steven Borst compared
the ability of various forms of exercise to increased growth levels. “Moderate
weight training produced dramatic increase in growth hormone levels. How different exercises affected growth
hormones: Stationery bike at moderate speed–145%, high speed–16%; moderate running
for men at moderate speed–none to moderate; running for women at high
speed–266% increase; weight training at 85% capacity resulted in 400% increase
in growth hormone! Does that motivate
anybody? I don’t know about you, but I like being young–and it kind of fits
with me!
So this was the part that motivated me to do strength training
and stick with it and keep pushing. I thought, “If it increases growth hormone
by 400% (just lifting at 85% of maximum capacity), what is going to happen when
I hit 100% of maximum capacity!” Even at
70% it is still a 300% increase in growth hormone. That is the hormone that starts changing the
body back to balance and making everything else work, so that was really
exciting!
