In today’s episode of Healing From Within, your host Sheryl Glick, author of The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love welcomes Dr. Sandeep Grewal, co-founder of the Ace Medical Loss Center in Rock Hill South Carolina and author of Fat-Me-Not Weight Loss: Diet of The Future. Fat-Me-Not breaks down many of the common myths of dieting including the strategy of only eating salads and grilled chicken for a look at the whole picture and to incorporating exercise into your schedule.
Sandeep and Sheryl will explore what science actually says about Holiday Weight Gain, tips for recovery and an action plan for a healthy year round weight plan and may also discuss how the body regulates your weight and how you can use it to your advantage. The goal is always to provide a way to merge the mind spirit and body for success health and happiness through knowing ourselves better.
Sandeep Grewal was a curious and well read youngster who grew up in a loving family in India and attended Medical school there where there are only three medical schools that produce five hundred doctors annually. Sandeep’s interaction with his patients allowed him to realize that best results with affecting patients health revolved around his ability to share hope and respect and to listen to their needs and respond accordingly.
Dr. Grewal tells us “It is important for the gut to do its work in digesting foods that is why real food not a protein bar or drink is recommended We must have all food groups being consumed Protein Carbohydrates Fats and Minerals…magnesium chromium and others. If you starve your body, your brain will still crave certain foods. In 2009 his group perfected a portion control weight loss system called the Slim Plate system www.slimplatesystem.com (http://www.slimplatesytem.com/) Patients who are very overweight are encouraged to eat 5-7 times and later on 4-5 times a day in the proper proportion and including all the food groups.”
Dr Grewal writes about the many myths still held by patients and health professionals that often sabotage establishing a functional healthy nutritional plan.
Myths people believe:
1. If you do not eat you will lose weight
2. If you eat once a day you will lose weight
3. Diet sugar and diet drinks are good for losing weight
4. Fast food is bad but fine dining is OK
5. Eating Salad and grilled chicken is the way for weight loss.
6. Exercise is everything to weight loss
7. Eating carbs will make you fat
8. Switch from caffeinated to de-caffeinated to lose weight
9. Eating sweets desserts and chocolate are no-noes for weight loss
10. Obesity is healthy and there is nothing wrong with it.
What is not a myth
1. Obesity kills…It is not only a personal concern but a public concern.
2. Obesity is a disease: it needs to be treated appropriately.
3. Just because insurance may not cover treatment does not mean that obesity is not serious enough to be treated.
Sheryl wonders why when so many people diet and lose weight they often gain it back even with more pounds than before? Sandeep says that too many people fail to lose weight because they don’t plan and implement a weight loss strategy. Rather than radically adjusting personal habits in a day, it is a good idea to do some appropriate shopping and stock up on healthier food options and plan a day by day diet. They often do not eat enough or regularly or the proper portion and from all the food groups…Beer for example is a super fast and super calorie drink and if you want to lose weight eliminate beer…… 9 calories per gram as opposed to 4 calories for a carb.
If you are trapped in the Fat-Me-Yes cycle how can you get out of it? Weight loss as any progressive change in your daily functioning in regard to any goal you wish to fulfill is about balancing your options not limiting your options.
