I’m back to 220 pounds again after a 3-pound GAIN this week

It’s TERRIFIC TUESDAY again here in Week 20 of The “30-In-30″ Weight Loss Challenge as we are almost through one of the toughest times of the year to keep your weight from going up, up, up! You have LESS THAN A WEEK LEFT to survive the Christmas 2006 temptation season before the new year comes to rescue you from holiday bliss. YOU CAN DO IT!

With two-thirds of “30-In-30″ behind us now, it’s time to make that big push in the final 10 weeks to reach your goal. If you are lagging behind the pace, then it’s time to step it up a notch or two. As it stands right now, I am EXACTLY on track with my original goal of one pound a week for the first twenty weeks.

But my weight has been doing some fluky things lately that are completely unexplainable from a dietary perspective. Does that frustrate you? You have been doing everything exactly right in your low-carb lifestyle, you haven’t cheated a bit, you’re exercising just as much as you always have, and yet the weight keeps bouncing up and down like a beach ball!

UGH UGH UGH! What the *&#$@ is going on?!?!

LOL! Actually, that’s exactly how I used to feel before I started my low-carb lifestyle. It was all about living in the moment for me and allowing my present circumstances to dictate my attitude about my success or failure on my “diet.” Oh, I’ve been so “bad” today, so I might as well just give up!

Do I REALLY need to tell you how dopey that is?!

Seriously, I was just talking with a respected controlled-carb advocate today about the qualities of people who have been able to successfully lose weight and keep it off forever. It’s amazing how people like this are able to do so well and not fall prey to the notion that losing weight is some mystical impossibility.

Erik Chopin is the fourth straight low-carber to win “The Biggest Loser”

Ever since deli shop owner Erik Chopin from Islip, New York won Season 3 of the hit NBC reality television show “The Biggest Loser” last week, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about something rather fascinating about his amazing 214-pound weight loss that he now wants to use to help people who are obese to find hope. This is something I haven’t heard ANYONE discussing about the people who are winning this show.

Let’s take a quick look at the three previous “Biggest Loser” winners:

STARTING WEIGHT: 319 pounds
WEIGHT LOSS: 131.5 pounds
HOW HE DID IT: Avoid starchy and refined carbs

“The Biggest Loser” 2 winner Matt Hoover

STARTING WEIGHT: 340 pounds
WEIGHT LOSS: 157 pounds
HOW HE DID IT: Counts calories and carbs

“The Biggest Loser” 1 winner Ryan Benson

STARTING WEIGHT: 330 pounds
WEIGHT LOSS: 100 pounds
HOW HE DID IT: Eats high-protein, low-carb foods

Anthony Colpo has updated and expanded “The Great Cholesterol Con”

One of the most underrated health books that came out in 2006 was Australian independent researcher Anthony Colpo’s “The Great Cholesterol Con.” This scientific masterpiece was chock full of the solid scientific foundation for questioning everything you have ever heard about cholesterol, fat, and health with that signature Colpo swagger and confidence that was on full display in my interview with him.

Following the critical acclaim he received for his book debut, Colpo decided to update and provide further information in a special second edition of “The Great Cholesterol Con” which is now available at Amazon.com. You get more than 80 additional pages (now it’s a 428-page book!) for the exact same price as the original book with even more evidence and Amazon is providing FREE SHIPPING when you purchase Colpo’s book!

So, what’s “new and improved” about this book? Glad you asked.

In response to complaints about the words being too small to read, the font size is larger for easier readability. Extra sections of the updated book include an appendix dealing with the issue of Familial Hypercholesterolemia, an extra study showing that low-fat diets do not lower cholesterol when calories and saturated/polyunsaturated ratios are kept the same, an expose on how the Lyon Diet Heart Study was initially rejected by one of the world’s most “prestigious” medical journals because the reviewers refused to believe such impressive mortality reductions could occur independent of cholesterol-lowering, additional information on statins, including 2 recent studies from some very prominent journals that show a total disconnect between cholesterol-lowering and mortality reduction, updated supplement recommendations, an essay by Colpo on the “bacon and eggs” myth about low-carb, and a discussion of some super-effective high intensity interval training.

Perhaps you’d like to get all of these nifty updates, but you don’t want to pay over $25 for the paperback book or you want it delivered to you fast! No problem! Now you can purchase “The Great Cholesterol Con” in e-book format for LESS THAN $10!

That’s right, get the e-book sent directly to your e-mail box within 24 hours from Anthony Colpo and he’ll even throw in a FREE BONUS e-book “The Junk Science Self Defense Manual,” which gives you a crash course in recognizing when you are getting fuzzy health and nutrition information.
