Want To Lose Weight? Move

That’s it, I’m packing my bags and moving to the country. I just read a new study that says the more fast food restaurants in your area the more people are overweight and at risk for all sorts of obesity related conditions like heart disease, diabetes and I’m sure high cholesterol ….and so on and so on.
Still, unless I work in a rural area as well I’ll have to drive past all those fast food spots on my way home at night and since it’ll take me longer to get home I’ll probably be more hungry when I get there. Do this a few times and I’ll probably stop and grab something on my way to tide me over. Of course I could order a salad or yogurt but when I smell french fries I just can’t resist!
So, wait a minute. Maybe I should rethink this. It appears, in my case, I would probably eat more fast food if I moved away from them. Oh well, in this economy I couldn’t sell my house anyway.

In 2005, I began gaining weight in spite of the fact that I was eating healthy and exercising regularly. I became very discouraged, especially since I could not pinpoint a cause for the sudden weight gain. I had my thyroid tested and underwent other tests as well. According to the tests, all was well. I was relieved, but still perplexed. Then, one day I heard about the Master Cleanse. I researched the cleanse and its simplicity intrigued me. I was uncertain whether I’d be able to drink the “lemonade” concoction for 10 days, but I was willing to try. Peter Glickman’s book was wonderful. Every time I had a question…and I had many, I could find the answer in his book. It was like a manual. During the cleanse, my night sweats ceased, my acne cleared up and my allergy symptoms went away. I was so excited about the results I acheived after 10 days, that I went six extra days. As a result, I have lost over 20 lbs. and kept it off. My body simply craved better foods after the cleanse and I didn’t argue with it. I will probably do this cleanse quarterly for the rest of my life and recommend it to anyone “willing” to try it.
I’m on the 10th day of of my second Master Cleanse and have lost almost 11 pounds!
I read Peter’s book each morning while I’m waiting for the salt water to “kick-in”, and I have found it to be an invaluable support. I found the the most powerful attributes of the text to be A) Discovering that all of the symptoms and cravings I was having were shared and to be expected; and B) Many, many other folks have much more trouble with this process than I!
It is true that many of the points are repeated — However, it is important to note the power of repetition, which can be seen in my success and many, many other’s as well.
I’m continuing on for another 10 days and will indeed do some repeated reading.
Peter, thank you so much for your commitment and care.
God bless,
Kara
