The other day, a woman who happens to be my pastor friend's mother inlaw showed my all her laboratory tests after her doctor's visit. "The doctor advised me to lose weight," she told me. She also showed me a diet pill she bought on the recommendation of someone which promised to make her lose weight. Of course, the diet pill did not work because weight gain is a multi-factorial problem. A simplistic thinking or a magic pill will not cut it.
I looked at the lab results and saw that she was not just over weight but she also had insulin resistance judging from her HbA1c. By the way HbA1c measures your blood glucose control over a long haul like two or 3 months period unlike the daily fluctuations of random blood sugar. Well, I told her what to do to lose weight; the heartbeat of which was for her to change her diet. There's no change without exchange. Switch to raw wholesome green super food. I advised her to get a grinder/blender. This is because she is in her sixties and digestion and absorption is a factor in weight gain and must also be a factor in her weight loss program. Also I noticed that her systemic weight gain is due to hormonal factors like excess estrogen which has caused inflammation in her body. I also advised that she need aggressive detoxification and cleansing; otherwise the weight will not come off. Anybody with a lot of weight shows that she has been accummulating toxins and must start with colon cleansing.
I gave her a recipe for cleansing and detoxification. She is not willing to change what she is doing which is the main reason she gained the weight in the first place. Going through her dietary history, I noticed as usual that her food was inflammatory like fried wheat based products, roasted nuts, chips, cookies, fried plantain etc, She pretty much eats what other younger members of her family (like her children and grand children) are eating and there was no discipline in eating; or knowing the right and nutritious food selection.
Now here is where the problem is...I told her that she needs to pay for her supplements which cost $87.00. She was not willing to invest in her health to save her life. She was rather complaining of her utility bills and other problems she needed to take care of. This is exactly hte attitude and behavior of most people when it comes to weight loss and fitness. They pay to fix everything else except for their health. The same women paid about $500.00 the previous week to fix her car. Yes, we always give priority to what is of value in our lives. I could not help but wonder within me: "when she is gone, who is gonna drive the car?" My point here is that what we ignore the most is what comes back to bite us the most. When people are younger, they sarcrifice everything at the altar of their health and when they get older, they sarcrifice everything to gain their health back. Remember all the health and longevity benefits or weight loss? Can you place a price tag on your life? This is what I call penny wise pound foolish!
