3 Diet Secrets That Keep You Doing YoYo Diets!

Most experienced dieters are flabbergasted when they hear these well kept secrets - unexpected things that hinder weight loss no matter how hard you try.

These are from a forthcoming book by my very dear friend, Dr. Heidi Dulay.
  • Secret #1.
  • Industrial burgers are fattening. Grassfed ones are slimming. (Both with no bun, of course.) Yes, a low carb diet works quickest for fat burn and weight loss, for most people. However, the wrong kinds of meats hinder weight loss in the long run. Industrial burgers have too much of the wrong kind of fat, and up to 5 times more total fat than grassfed ones. They contain antibiotics, hormones, and even harmful bacteria that upset our metabolism. While grassfed ones have lots of the good fats (omega 3s) and a ton of health giving vitamins and minerals.
  • Secret #2. A balanced diet keeps you fat. If you thought a balanced diet seems like the best way to lose weight you're not alone. 160 of the 225 folks taking our survey last week - 72% - said TRUE to question 9: Eat a balanced diet to lose. But it is not so. See here.
  • Secret #3. Fruits, veggies and grains may block the weight loss trigger. Granted fruits are better than eating sweets like ice cream and cakes. Fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals. But they're not necessary for weight loss. They block the fat burning mechanism for most folks. But that's not all...See half way down here.
These are just some of the findings in the new book being written by Dr. Heidi - a nutrition professor at a university in Berkeley CA, and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) from Harvard University.

Her live fat burn programs are based on not only 150 years of research findings (like Gary Taubes' 600 page book), but her own years of experimenting and tinkering with programs for her active weight loss clientele. Finally last year she put some of the missing pieces together, and I urged her to offer her new Extreme Regime Fat Burn program to my readers.

Since last July, some 60+ folks - mostly professional yo-yo dieters - went through the program. Because it was so successful and so different, her ER Fat Burn Formula has built up a major buzz in an industry known for its failure.

Not only did folks lose significant weight, but many of their aging symptoms disappeared. Including chronic diarrhea, acid reflux, high blood pressure (no more need for medication for some), insomnia, hot flashes, and sexual decline.

Look around. How come most folks are still overweight if the current diet programs and recommendations are so great? If almost no one can do them, what good are they? How about doing something you CAN do?

If you don't do this, how much will you weigh in a year? Or two or three years? Dr. Heidi's next Fat Burn cycle starts this SATURDAY. There is still time to start working on that new bod.

What is more important than your looks, your health and your energy?

You owe it to yourself and to those who love you to do something. Check it out right here. We're waiting for ya.

Low Carb With A Twist


Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula




The Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula is now open: for that determined dieter who's ready for a new bod.

ER Fat Burn Formula

But it closes this Friday, Jan 30, at Midnight PST (3AM EST - NY).

Because this ER Fat Burn Cycle starts officially on Jan 31 with Dr. Heidi's live kickoff call.

There are two Live spots left right now...

ER Fat Burn Formula

You can still go for the less pricey Multi Media option. It includes everything for the five weeks except the private weekly consultations with Dr. Heidi. Plus you go at your own pace.

All calls are recorded for anytime listening. Plus they're edited and transcribed so you can study those things you really want to dig into.

The forums are filled with active grads and newbies doing and asking and doing and getting slinkier and more energized.

OK enough already.

ER Fat Burn Formula


P.S. What if you don't do this program? How much will you weigh in one year or in two? And by then it will cost $173 million because of inflation. And your special bonuses will be gone for sure.

Steak and Eggs - For Weight Loss?

Steak 'n eggs: Good or bad for weight loss?

What's the best way to lose weight fast and remain healthy?
There has been much hysteria pro and con the Atkins-type weight-loss regime, with the low-cal/lo fat and portion control camp screaming that red meat and eggs are dangerous.

In a recent weight loss study Atkins folks sponsored, plant-based diet supporters gleefully point out that participants were being apparently counseled "to choose vegetarian sources of fat and protein."

Kathy Freston, a Dean Ornish low-fat, calorie-counting anti-meat fan girl, insists that "there's a growing shift toward healthy, plant-based diets, especially among people looking to lose weight and keep it off." And a shift away from meat, animal fats and eggs, she writes. However, low carb, meat and blubber enthusiasts show proof of healthy weight loss and of keeping it off. Like me. Or Dr. Heidi and her ER clientele.

What should you believe?

Both. Steak (all red meats and poultry) and eggs are like cholesterol: There's good and there's bad. You need to know which is good and which is bad.

Bad Meat Most meat in U.S. supermarkets and restaurants come from confined and un-pastured cows who are often sick. Poky's animal 'hospital' (described in Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma) is one of many big-animal hospitals that treats feedlot cattle from industrial feedlots. Most of the animals' health problems, Pollan reports, are directly or indirectly related to what they're fed.

The cows are force-fed corn and soy which they can't digest. "They're made to eat forage, and we're making them eat grain," says Dr. Metzin who treats them. (p. 77, Omnivore's Dilemma)

Virtually all feedlot cattle, according to animal scientists, are sick because they cannot digest grain. The sick animals are then shot full of antibiotics so they live a little longer - so as to get a bit fatter before they're slaughtered. Happy Sunday cookout.

So yes, the Dean Ornishes and Kathy Frestons are right. Eating bad meats and fats from from such animals can NOT be good for you. Avoid eating bad meats and fats.

Good Meat Grass-fed animals. Grass-fed animals are pastured. [NOT pasteurized - but pastured.] This, my omnivore friends, you CAN eat. I do. Grass-fed animals are allowed to forage and graze in pastures - on grass and other stuff on the grounds. Eating what they eat naturally. They're not shot full of antibiotics because they're not sick.

Good meat shopping tip: When shopping for meat, ASK the meat person: Do you have 100% grass-fed beef (or pastured chicken)? If not, find a local farmer. They'll have grass fed beef and poultry. Google local farmers in YOUR CITY or check for local farmers online at Local Harvest or the Weston A Price Foundation.

Until you find a farmer, at least get meats that have not been fed antibiotics and hormones

Bad eggs Same story. Don't eat the eggs from chickens that are crammed together in spaces no bigger than an 8 and 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper, for their entire life. Don't eat those that are fed bio-engineered grain. Don't eat those kept awake with lights blazing into their cages 24/7 so they can lay as many eggs as possible before they're turned into soup. Those eggs can not be good for you. They're available in most restaurants and supermarkets.

Good eggs
Eat eggs from pastured chickens - they're the ones that go OUTSIDE and scratch around on the ground at the farm, eating grass, worms and such that they are designed to eat. NOTE: These eggs are also a surprise source of Vitamin D. Regular eggs do not have naturally occurring Vitamin D.

Good eggs shopping tip: Contact your local farmer for pastured chickens and eggs from pastured chickens. Organic is not enough here (not if you want that extra Vitamin D benefit, says Dr. Heidi here ) See sources above.

Bottom line: Find pastured grass-fed animals. Eat those. They're the good meat and animal fats. They have the same kind of GOOD fats that ocean fish have, they have more minerals and vitamins and they're not fattening or disease producing, like the feedlot animals. True, you won't keel over after one McDonald's hamburger. But the cumulative effect over the years of eating bad meats and bad animal fats weakens a body and makes it ripe for a disease to strike. Usually when you least expect it.

P.S. Kim learned most of this filming an eye-and-ear popping nutrition course Dr. Heidi Dulay taught in CA this spring. I hope to make some of the videos available soon.

Warning: These meats are fattening

This post is part of a new book being written by Dr. Heidi Dulay who created the Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula. The five week fat burn program opens this Monday, Jan 26. 12 NOON Eastern time.
Go here to sign up and to learn more. Very Limited Space.


Dear reader: Below is part 2 of the 'controversial findings' related to the ad I tested recently:

Warning: Do not attempt another diet until you read this controversial report...


Part 1 of that report is here. Diet Warning: Big FAT surprise #1

Here's part 2.

Most folks think meat is good if you want to lose weight.

90% (208) of the 228 readers said "FALSE" to Diet Warning survey Question 5.

Meat is not good if you want to lose weight.



Big Fat Surprise #3:

Most meat is fattening.

Meats are not created equal.

Nor are chickens, turkeys, fish, eggs and dairy.

We compare two burgers: An industrial burger and a grassfed burger.

They may look the same, but one is fattening and the other is reducing. Yes, assume you are eating either one WITHOUT the BUN.

An industrial burger is fattening. Its grassfed counterpart is reducing.


Here's why the industrial burger is fattening. It has:
An abnormal amount of total and saturated fat: 4 to 6 times more total fat and twice as much saturated fat as grassfed.

Hardly any omega 3 fats – the type of fat that burns fat, like salmon has. Omega 3 naturally present in cow fat plummets in the feedlot – the longer the cow is in the feedlot, the lower the omega 3 content.

Excessive amounts of omega 6 fats – the fats found in corn oil that are correlated with obesity and diabetes.

High level of toxins: growth hormone, antibiotics, pesticides and genetically modified organisms.

In industrial feedlots cows sleep in deep piles of manure – a source of bacteria that may end up in our hamburgers. They are fed synthetic nitrogen, chicken litter, blood and fat products of other slaughtered cattle, along with as much corn as they can stand. Cows naturally eat grass, not corn. Corn messes up their digestive systems, causing all kinds of disease requiring antibiotics and other medication – which end up in our steaks and burgers. "A growing body of research suggests that many problems associated with eating beef are really problems with corn-fed beef ." (Pollan 2008, p.75)


On the other hand, grassfed meats come from cows that eat grass – food they’re made to eat and digest. They stay healthy, and develop ideal amounts of total fats and the essential omega 3 and 6 fats. Grassfed meats are a boon to folks who don’t like fish, because they provide the omega 3s that we prize in fish.

There are similar differences in the weight loss effects of industrial versus pastured chickens and turkeys, and farmed versus wild fish. I often tell my students that when they eat farmed fish, they might as well be eating a feedlot cow.


Other products from grassfed and industrial animals are also wildly different in the nutrition they offer.

Milk, butter and cream from grassfed cows can help burn fat and build muscle. They contain CLA, a type of fat that causes that to happen. (see Tom, 1977 in Robinson, p 20). Grassfed milk has 5 times more CLA than industrial milk.


Bottom line, meat lovers; meat shunners.

Industrial animal farming has spawned an industrial food syndrome epidemic – folks who are obese, diabetic, and prone to heart disease, cancer, asthma and arthritis.


The reaction against cruelty to animals and dangers to human health from industrial food has given vegetarianism new life. Even Michael Pollan who started out as an omnivore, advises us on the cover of his newest book:

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants”.

But we need not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead, we say:

“Eat food, low carb, grassfed and wild.” And of course, eat real fat.

P.S. This post is part of a new book being written by Dr. Heidi Dulay who created the Extreme Regime Fat Burn Formula. The five week weight loss program opens Monday, Jan 26.

Go here to get priority notification.

Next, toxins cause weight gain.
