Jordan Rubin's speech

Posted in Healthy Living

www.allposters.com

Friday night Bryan, Bryson, and I went to Christ Church of the Apostles to hear Dr Jordan Rubin speak.  Bryan has worked with him on several functions so this wasn't at all new to him.  I have read all of his books, plus I live in the "natural" world so not all of this was new to me.  However, the way he delivered his speech was really well done.  I thought I'd pass on some of the main points in taking control of your health and eventually weight.

Why do diets fail?  Primarily because they do not go on one.  They say they have, yet they do not completely follow them or they are wrong for them.  Also, when we go to the grocery store or we are cooking our meals we buy and make the same items so there is no variety in our diet then we lose interest.l

Eating for Perfect Weight

Myth #1- Have to eat cereal for breakfast.  There is more sugar and toxins in cereal than many foods.

Myth #2- All dairy needs to be skim.  We need the fat to help stabilize blood sugar.

Myth #3- Red meat is bad for you.  Red meat has the highest amount of zinc and iron than any other food which are necessary. It should be grass fed and/or organic.

Order in which you eat your food determines weight

1st protein

2nd veggie

3rd sweet veggie or fruit

4th bread

Don't eat carbs naked

Combine carbs with fat or fiber

Key to controlling weight is controlling glucose

How to cheat?

2-3 times per week have a healthy breakfast and lunch, then for 60 minutes eat whatever you want.

Never/Drink eat artificial sweetners

They do not work

They are addictive because they are poisoning your brain and then your brain wants more

They are a drug

They are dangerous because of neurotoxins

Extra virgin coconut oil

helps your metabolism

May use in cooking high heats.  When sauteing veggies use coconut oil instead of butter sometimes.

Drink for Perfect Weight

Water- 1 oz for half your body weight

HealthyPerceptions filters out more chemicals than any local spring water.  You do not want to drink chlorine.  However, purchasing bottle water is terrible for the environment and sometimes the plastic can get into blood stream.

May drink organic herbal teas and/or organic coffee with cream.  No sugar except honey or agave nectar

SPE (Snacks ready to Eat)

Need to eat every 3 hours to stabilize blood sugar. 

trail mix

Jenny's macaroons

Fucothin protein bar

Supplements needed

Cod liver oil is a must

Fucothin (seaweed) to increase resting metabolic rate

Get fit for Perfect Weight

FIT (functional interval training) can find these exercises at www.perfectweightamerica.com

Reduce Toxins for Perfect Weight

1- foods- organic or local (to find where go to sustainableharvest.com). All meat, eggs, dairy and poultry HAS to be organic.

2. get shower filter to eliminate chlorine in your skin cells

3. open windows, get houseplants, hepa air filters, change your skin and hair products to natural.

Think for your Perfect Weight

Reduce stress

Love yourself

Forgive others

Help the world

1. Be more environmentally friendly- 400x more toxins now than 100 years ago.

2. Raise healthy children

3. Choose life (live and share your experiences.

4. Have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Monday, May 5, 2008 - I love Jordan Rubin's books!

Posted by meadow


I use many of his teachings in our food choices, etc. (although I still have a long way to go). We also love mercola.com for learning healthy eating and living habits (his newsletter is invaluable to me!). It's not from a Christian perspective, but he has mentioned Jordan and his books on his site.

Monday, May 5, 2008 - Wasn't it great?

Posted by Michelle


I heard Jordan last weekend at Alive Expo, and again on Friday. I was disappointed that they canceled the seminar on Saturday.

What excited me the most is that my mother is going to begin trying to follow some of his principles! She went with me to the Alive Expo and again on Friday night. She even bought one of the water filter pitchers! It is such a blessing to know that she has noticed the benefits of some of the things I have been doing. I mean, it's good to know that she can see them in me, and is interested.

Sounds a bit similar to that in the Nourishing Traditions Plan. I will have to check out the website, thanks for sharing.
