Here’s What to Do"},"content":{"rendered":"<\/title><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As you may know, I’ve been following a no-carb\/low-carb diet for the past 2 and a half weeks, almost 3 weeks of weight loss efforts. I stepped on the scales the other day, and had actually gained a couple of pounds! OMG!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Having lost 160 pounds and maintained it by the grace of God for over 18 years now (wow, can it be that long?), I’ve learned a few things about weight loss. Here’s what I do to stay on track, to drop those pesky 20 pounds I’ve wanted to get rid of for a long time:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— I stick with my food plan, and follow it precisely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— Perhaps I eat a little less, but every few hours so I don’t get ravenous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— I make sure to drink at least 3 big (8 ozs. or bigger) glasses of water a day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— I continue my movement program, and make sure to move at least 30 minutes a day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— I don’t worry, and pray to God over and over for assistance – which I always receive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— Stop weighting myself everyday, and only get on the scales once a week: same time, same clothes (or not).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">— I make sure to eat a lot of vegetables, and less heavier foods like meats, nuts and dairy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If it’s next-to-impossible for you to stay on your “diet,” then I’d bet you’re not on the right one for you. Always check with your physician before beginning a new diet, food plan or weight loss effort. Check with your doctor, too, if you go more than two weeks without losing weight on a diet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">= = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Please see my movie on ancient spiritual wisdom – “Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer” now on iTunes (U.S. only for now).
