[Guest guest]



I get numerous health newsletters. Of course, some of them are attempting to sell a product or knowledge, which I normally ignore. But I do glean some interesting knowledge from them anyway.

Nutrition for Summer Shape

Hello everyone, hope this finds all feeling well and looking forward to a great summer. We spoke last week around Fitness and Supplements for Summer Shape, this week as promised we will focus on some ideas for helping with one of the cornerstones (and many times stumbling blocks) of Fitness, which is Nutrition. We will give a snapshot of the category but even that will require two Newsletters, so we will cover Part 1 this week and finish with Part 2 next.

First eating right does NOT have to be boring, difficult to follow nor dreaded. I won't mention any names or companies or authors, (you guys already know them anyway) however many are in the market that promote a magic pill, a wonder "diet,"or the latest study to justify their promotion of a product, which finally will allow you to eat anything and everything you want, including chocolate, ice cream and candy and still be trim. Even if such a product/system did allow such a feat, your health would suffer from junk food in ways other than being overweight.

What I am about to share with you isn't magic. On the other hand if it makes some of you "feel" better, I can label it as, THE GET HONEYCUTT MAGIC NUTRITIONAL SYSTEM,"anyone feel better? Hope nobody takes offense at me having a little fun with all the gimmicks, wonder products and empty promises which some people make. The truth is, these people are much more interested in your dollars than your health.

Now having said that, I will say that what you are about to read is from decades of study, research, and practical application by myself (please excuse the personal reference.) However, the photo posted here is of myself at my present age 56, and it is has not been retouched and was not taken just before a competition. In other words, this has been achieved with the Nutritional advice given here, along with regular exercise and the supplements we spoke about last, which can be bought in any Health Food Store or on our site www.gethoneycutt.com. Again, please forgive the personal reference, I simply want you to know I do practice what I preach, so to speak.

Here are the basics. Food is broken into three major categories, Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats. All these are important for overall health and long term success in weight control. While, as I just mentioned, none of this is MAGIC, some of what I am about to share will challenge conventional wisdom,(especially the thoughts which we will cover in next week's Newsletter.) To this I will simply add that currently 34% of we adults in America are clinically obese, another 33% are overweight, so what we have been doing (conventionally) is not doing us much good, our stats speak for themselves. What we will now do is briefly define the food groups listed above.

Protein: Foods which contain high amounts of protein are meats, including beef, poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs. Almost all foods contain some protein; however those just listed are predominately protein, unless you choose a meat product which is mostly fat. Also, it is important to note that some foods which do contain protein do not have "complete"protein. Meaning that they do not contain all the amino acids necessary to be present to allow the human body to utilize the protein. Those listed above have the complete protein and contain all the essential amino acids. Other foods which have protein but do not have "complete" protein are nuts, grains, beans and vegetables.

Carbohydrates: This food group has three major categories:

1: Simple Carbohydrates, these foods are basically the ones with sugar and refined white flour. Hope I don't loose any of you here, but I am less than honest unless I tell you this:

Sugar and White Flour are the two biggest reasons we Americans are overweight!!!

Unfortunately in our culture most foods are overly processed and contain either sugar or refined flour. Read any label form crackers, bread to peanut butter and for the most part they will contain one or both of these ingredients. Fortunately over the past 10 years or so many of us have become aware of this and products are now available which do not contain sugar or white flour. For instance peanut butter can be found in most grocery stores that are completely natural and they taste fantastic.

Foods high in sugar and/or flour are candy, ice cream, cookies, breads, rolls, cereals, cakes, the list goes on. The key here is to get into the habit of reading the labels for a few weeks, after this you will know the foods that contain these ingredients and can easily make better choices.

Now if you have a "sweet tooth" and most of us do, including myself. We do have products available that allows us to "eat our cake and have it to" so to speak. In our first Get Honeycutt Newsletter did an article listing these, my favorite is Splenda and I usually have it every day in something. Also, one of the recipes in this weeks Newsletter is one of my favorite deserts Cheese Cake made with Splenda.

By the way, not all Simple Carbohydrates are bad, simple sugar is found in fruit, fruit juice and the body needs this carbohydrate in proper amounts at the proper time.

2: Complex Carbohydrates: These carbs unlike the Simple Carbs are the ones which you want to use on a daily basis. They include whole grain breads, steel cut oatmeal, unrefined rice, whole grain cereals (w/o the sugar, use Splenda instead), red, black and pinto beans, and potatoes as examples.

3: Fibrous Carbohydrates: These carbs can be eaten in any amount which you desire w/o being a burden to your Nutritional Program. They include vegetables such as green beans, snap beans, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes (yes, I know it is technically a fruit, but I'm not trying to be technical here, to me if it goes in a salad, it's a vegetable) red and green peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip greens, asparagus and onions.

Part 2, next week's topic will focus on the third category, Fats and when, how often you need to eat, how much (this may surprise you) and a couple pointers that will help you begin to loose weight and keep it off for life.

By the way within the Get Honeycutt Members Site, one of the features is our exclusive Nutritional Profiler. This feature all anyone to have a Customized Program designed around your specific body, around your likes and dislikes in food, their weight loss goals in the timeframe which you select and charts your progress each day and week. All the recipes here in the Get Honeycutt Newsletter are from the Nutritional Profiler. All this is done for you electronically. Give it a try, it is risk free and a lot of fun.

May God Bless!
