Weight Management -- Karl Loren

I realized that weight loss was not the role of the Detox, so I started a major weight loss program a few weeks before I expected to start the Detox and then “went back” to what had been a normal diet.

My preferred weight loss method has generally been the high-protein diet. I’ve researched and written thousands of pages about diet.

I started this weight loss campaign, before the Detox, when I weighed a life-time high of 256 pounds. I got down to 236 before I started the Detox. That 236 pounds was less than I have weighed in many years.

But it was a struggle.

On the purif I went back, at first, to just eating enough salad to satisfy the requirements of “eating vegetables” on the Detox. My weight went up and down a bit, but it never got back to that low figure of 236 and never rose above 243.

My diet, however, was constantly changing on the Detox. I found that I craved more and different foods. I never had any interest return for my former occasional use of alcohol or frequent interest in dessert, but my first craving was bread! I’ve always found that bread was, for me, the easiest way to ruin a diet.

Gradually I added all sorts of carbohydrates and didn’t seem to gain the weight I would have in the past from those carbs.

At the beginning of the Detox I found that I wanted and consumed more food than normal – and I’ve always been a big eater.

My wife and I ate out at various restaurants often during the Detox. I found that I was typically ordering a specific favorite dish at the different restaurants. One such place, the Smoke House, is where I always had a particular meal of prime rib.

I did not notice the changes at first, but early in the Detox I would eat the entire meal and extra stuff.

Then I would order the same meal, but not eat quite all of it. I always ate all the meat.

The last time we went there, as I reported to the C/S, I didn’t eat all and didn’t even eat all the meat.

Along somewhere during this time I was startled to find that my weight had dropped to 233 – lower than it has been for more than 10 years.

I realized that I had been eating a bit less, but I was eating a complete range of carbohydrates, protein and fat. I still had no craving for sugar or even salt.

ONLY THEN did my Ayurvedic doctor friend in India tell me that there is a well-known principle in Ayurvedic Medicine that toxins stored in the body prevent proper digestion and use of food and prevent weight management. I discovered from him, but only after I had experienced this result myself, that the toxins can prevent wanted weight gain or weight loss. My Ayurvedic doctor in India sent me this advice, both about weight management and about a "turn on" of tiredness I experienced during the Detox when my blood pressure started to decline from the too-high levels it had been at for years.

Your Tiresomeness:-   It is due to your falling BP.  A body which has been used to high BP for so long will take time to adjust to lower levels of BP.  Greater the fall in BP ... greater will be the tiresomeness.  There are great breathing techniques in Yoga (Pranayama) to overcome this problem, but cannot be taught through Emails.   

Critical Factor:-    Your weight .... is a critical factor.  Urge to eat more is purely mental and not dictated by the need of the body.  The need of the body is dictated by the intensity of hunger. It takes careful observation to differentiate between these two....physical need & mental urge.   

The quantity of digestive enzymes in the stomach are secreted in accordance with the body's estimation / calculation of the convertible quantity of food required -- based on the average activities of the body.  "Excess Quantity" of food that is beyond the proportion with the available enzymes for conversion is likely to "Putrefy" in the system and add toxins to the system.....disturbing the balance of endocrines and hormones.... resulting in weight gains.   

Try eating "Very Very slowly" .... and stop eating the moment you stop feeling hungry.  Never eat when you do not feel hungry....ignore the self discipline of "Time to Eat".  Your extra weight will melt away ... without inducing tiresomeness.

I then heard from my wife that SHE was able to gain weight on the Detox whereas she had not previously. (She had dropped from 150 before cancer to 110 at her low point. She was mostly hovering around 113 before the Detox and now maintains 115 to even 117 with no effort. )

It is amazing to see the validation of the Ayurvedic data, but to alos see how the modern technology of the Detox may be a un-remarked breakthrough for dieters. Not that the Detox would be USED to lose weight, but could cause the changes that ALLOW a simple weight loss program to work.

The second day after my last day on the Detox my weight dropped from the previous few days (between 236 and 238) to an attractive 235.

I am now finding it easier to “eat less.” The other advice I got from my Ayurvedic friend was to eat very slowly and to distinguish (perceive) the difference between the mental (usually deceptive) urge to eat with the body’s own call for the fuel it needs to operate. I am now “looking for that perception” and responding to it – with every expectation that I will now be able to lose weight much more smoothly.
