We get fat around our middles sooner or later in life. Americans (and all factory food eating peoples) are now growing that roll a lot sooner because we’ve speeded up the aging process.

The roll appears after years of stress and carbohydrates. As I’ve explained in videos:
When you are stressed your adrenals secrete cortisol, which breaks down your lean body mass (muscle and bones) to provide sugar as fuel to use during this time of stress (not trekking across the desert looking for food, but staying up till midnight Xeroxing something for your boss). But still. Now you have too much sugar in your bloodstream and sugar is damaging to cells so your body doesn’t like that situation.
Another way is by using stimulants (tobacco, caffeine, drugs (prescription, OTC, or recreational)—all of which result in the release of cortisol.
The third way you get too much sugar in your bloodstream is by eating too many carbs.
When you have too much sugar in your bloodstream insulin is secreted to store that sugar away into cells. After years of stress, eating too many carbs, using stimulants, your cells are filled to capacity with sugar and your body has not other choice but to convert any incoming (nonused) sugar into fat and it stores that fat, guess where? Around your waist first. I do not know why. I agree it’s unfair, but it’s just the way it is.
The way to achieve your optimal body weight and empty those cells of fat and sugar is to focus on overall health.
Stop eating factory food
Eat a balanced diet of real food
Reduce stress (remove yourself from stress if possible, practice meditation)
Cut down on or quit all stimulants (caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, prescription, OTC and recreational drugs)
Avoid toxic exposure
Drinking plenty of water to flush poisons from your system
Indulging in mind-clearing playtime
Go to bed as early as possible (preferably by ten) and get eight hours of rest
Exercise
Om Shanti,
Your girlfriend in health,
