Every Time I Looked in the Mirror, I Made a Vow to get Rid of That “Spare Tire” I was Carrying Around With Me, Finally it was a Heart Attack That Made Me Actually Do Something About it... “When I Saw This Report, I Was In Shock! I Mean, You Would Have to Be NUTS, Not to Try This Sensational Diet…”Dear Friend, I couldn’t help it...I just loved food. It took a heart attack to make me lose 67 pounds. Even though I felt fine and was going to the gym, I didn’t realize just how bad I was getting. After my heart attack, I was looking for a diet that I could stick with. I mean I tried low fat, no fat, low carb, no carb, Atkins, South Beach, Slim Fast and dozens of others. Problem was that no matter which one I tried, I got bored! And then a friend told me about this strange twist. Its official, according to scientific studies, you could lose up to 25 lbs. of fat, and help your heart, just by eating Peanut Butter! In the U.S. alone, we consume some 800 Million pounds of the gooey stuff, EVERY YEAR. Most people actually feel guilty about eating this special treat, because of the 190 calories and 16 grams of fat in just 2 tablespoons. No need for worry, the “fat” content is mono-uansaturated fat—the good kind! This type of fat helps to keep the heart working properly and even helps with diabetes. Most diets fail because they don’t satisfy the “fat” craving that your body wants. To actually lose weight you need to decrease your calorie intake and increase your exercise. By introducing nutritious peanut butter into your diet, your body gets the fat it craves and helps you stay committed to losing weight. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found that people following a Mediterranean-style, moderate fat weight loss diet were able to keep weight off for a longer period of time than people following the traditionally recommended low fat diet. The findings appear in the October 5th issue of the International Journal of Obesity. In a study of 101 overweight people at a Boston Hospital, one group had their fat intake limited to 20% of their daily caloric intake, while the other group got 35% of their daily calories from the “good” fat. Both groups lost about 11pounds in 6 weeks, but the dieters on the peanut butter, stuck it out longer and maintained their weight for 18 months. When asked why they dropped out or stayed, the answer was “taste”. The dieters using the peanut butter diet, felt better, because of taste. Another surprise is that in a test done at a Pennsylvania University, showed that a peanut butter diet, lowered heart disease risk by 21%, while a very low fat diet only lowered risk by only 12%...... |
