The Secrets Of Thin

y

ou know the type, the ones who
never bat an eyelash when it
comes time to order lunch or
dinner. You see them everywhere, wear-
ing their size 2 jeans and munching a
cheeseburger. Every time you look at
them you think,
"That's so unfair.
How is it possible
they can eat like
that and still look
like that?"
Everyone knows
someone like this
and if you don't,
you probably are
that person. Well,
if you aren't, I am
going to tell you the
"Secrets of Thin
People."
First off, I am going to tell you that it is
a myth to believe that thin people never

give their weight a second thought; it
is absolutely false. They do think about
their weight. And they pay close attention
to the food they eat and how much they
eat.
Here are some of the "Secrets of Thin
People" that can help anyone trying
to lose weight or maintain a healthy
weight:
• Thin people don't skip meals. They
have structured eating habits. They eat
three meals a day and one to two healthy
snacks a day. They don't allow themselves
to get so hungry that they overeat.
• Thin people don't skip breakfast.
A study of breakfast eaters reported
in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association backed up findings that people
who eat breakfast are less likely to be
overweight than those who don't. And thin
people primarily eat a healthy breakfast.
One that is high in simple carbohydrates,
such as sugary cereal, stimulates appetite.

If you eat a sugary breakfast, blood sugar
levels rise and then crash rapidly, making
you hungry. So it's best to eat a breakfast
that contains protein and fiber; oatmeal
and skim milk or low-fat yogurt with fresh
fruit is better.
• Thin people watch portion size. They
don't walk around with a measuring cup
or food scale, but they are careful not to
eat too much.
• Thin people have thin parents. Good
genes play a role. Research shows that if
your parents were thin, more than likely
you will be, too. And if you're raised play-
ing sports and eating healthy, unprocessed
foods, you'll likely continue those habits
into adulthood.
• Thin people move more. A study by
the Mayo Clinic based in Rochester, Minn.,
noted that obese participants sat, on aver-
age, more than two hours longer every
day than the lean ones did. The study also
found that thin people are more likely to

stand, walk and fidget more than those
who are overweight.
• Thin people weigh themselves. They
get on the scale more often than people
who are overweight. This makes it easy
for them to manage weight gain. A gain
of even 2-4 pounds motivates them to
cut back on their eating for a few days or
increase their exercise.

people. They just may work for you, too!

Men, Diabetes and Heart Disease

There are 50% more diabetics today in the US. than just 6 years ago. The
most exciting 'new' treatment is a 50 year-old injectable testosterone for
the 15 million diabetic men affected by.the disease and 45 million clearly
obese, pre-diabetic and heart attack prone men. With this once-a-month
replacement, most men will experience renewed vigor, weight loss and re-
newed sexual vitality. Testosterone can not only protect men from drops
in blood sugars - AMA News quotes Lichten that testosterone use can
reduce insulin and oral medication requirements by 50%.

Women, Migraine, Menopause and Osteoporosis

By adjusting a woman's natural hormones, diseases as diverse as mi-
graine, pain, PMS, menopause, libido and osteoporosis can be effectively
prevented and treated.
