We are supported by three wellness systems:  A version of the late Dr. Atkins' low carb lifestyle, Fructose Compounding, and botanical holistic tonics.    

I call it the Vegas Diet.

Our belief in the low carb lifestyle led our family to put all our low carb eggs in one low carb basket, so to speak.  Our family owned business, Grams Gourmet is winding up its 2nd year. It should be called Gram's Miracle. Our kids joined us in raising the capital for Grams. It was a long shot, but it's paying off. The guiding force behind the company is my step-daughter, Julee, Founder, CEO and President. Julee and Marketing Director and stockholder Bryan Bootka have teamed up to become the #2 low carb snack food company in America (behind Atkins) and the #1 in pork rinds. Yes, we said little piggy skins. We now have more employees than grandkids, with new packaging machinery being installed constantly. Timing is everything. Low-carb lifestyle is sweeping America and, thanks to Julee's vision, we are in the forefront.  You can order online:  www.gramsgourmet.com 

Anne and I have dropped 65 pounds between us since returning to  my Formula for Physical Wellness on April 26, 2002.  I have maintained my ideal weight of 165 pounds -- down from 212.  My Vegas Diet is a guide for lifestyle changes. It is a proven plan to last a lifetime.

The Vegas Diet includes mental as well as physical awareness.  I maintained my weight loss for five years until I decided to reward myself with some "safe" bread.  I have observed hundreds of low-carbers struggle with the low carb diet by rewarding themselves with bad carbs on weekends, special occasions, buffets, funerals, vacation, births, death, etc.  They are trying to lose or maintain  weight-loss the controlled way.  What's wrong with a small amount of refined carbs you ask?  White carbs stimulate hunger.  Maintaining the weight loss as a lifestyle is not difficult as long as you don't go through the mental gymnastics of whether or not you should "reward" yourself  on special occasions. Many of us find that abstaining is far more comfortable than controlling.

Successful low carbers seem to have one thing in common-they lost the need for "rewards,"  They abstain from refined carbs as a  lifestyle. (sugar or floor listed 5 or above on the ingredients label) And, most importantly, successful low-carbers understand the difference between "low" and "no".  

I takes 90 days to create good habits.  I promise you after 90 days, your new eating lifestyle will become very comfortable. Contact me at crown80@iglide.net for detailed diet plan.

   

 

"I'm convinced that Mangosteen will, without a doubt, be the most succcessful food supplement ever.  The Mangosteen, if scientific research is any indication , is perhaps the most important fruit on earth.". . ... .J Frederic Templeman, M.D(The world's foremost authority on the Mangosteen fruit)

A challenge to all low-carbers is the lack of energy while losing weight.  Refined sugar, although dangerous to your health, is an excellent source of temporary energy.  When you cut out refined sugar and reduce complex carbs, found in most fruit and potatoes, your body must burn fat for energy.  Fat is a lower source of energy.   Millions have turned to diet pills to replace their lost energy.  Diet pills may or may not be dangerous to your health  But in modern society, perception and agenda rules, not facts.  

An excellent natural source of energy comes from the whole Mangosteen fruit patented by Xango, LLD.  The entire mangosteen fruit contains the highest concentration of antioxidants found in plants.  One ounce twice a day will supply the necessary energy while losing weight.   "No" carbers may view with alarm the small amount of carbs found in the Mangosteen botanical.  Remember, success comes from "low" carb, rather than "no" carbs.  The taste in Xango comes from natural complex carbs found in fruit. 

Wrap-Up

The only difference between my weight loss diet and my maintenance plan is an addition of complex carbs, such as grapes, melons, .veggies, and an occasional potato.    I did not increase my protein intake.  Even though complex carbs supplies me with more energy while maintaining my ideal weight, I continue to drink the Mangosteen botanical juice for 128 other health reasons.  Go to google search and enter Xanthones or Mangosteen.  You will  run out of ink  before you  print all the positive research on the Mangosteen fruit and anti-oxidant xanthones..
