Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Dear patients, friends and family:

I am issuing the following call to action. As most of you know I am extremely passionate about diet, nutrition and exercise. The lack of proper diet and exercise in our society is a full-blown epidemic and it’s killing you, your children, your friends and co-workers – way before their time. I am asking everyone who reads this post to please watch Jamie Olivers 2010, award winning, Technology-Entertainment-Design (TED) video and if you can, watch his TV series, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, that starts tonight on ABC. The video is just twenty minutes out of one’s life and may add years to the lives of those that are positively affected by it.

I truly believe it’s never too late to learn something new and it’s also never too late to make a change in your life. Eating properly is not a time-consuming chore, it’s not difficult and it’s not expensive.

You have all the time in the world, you have all the money you need to buy healthy food, you want to live a long and healthy life and you want the best for your children. I know for a fact that this is true. Remember “Thoughts Become Things” and action is all that’s needed to make these thoughts become reality. Please, just do it!

If after watching the video you have any questions or need help implementing any of Jamie’s ideas, I am here for you and I want to help.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger – www.advancedhealing.com

Message from Jamie Oliver:

“I believe that every child in America has the right to fresh, nutritious school meals, and that every family deserves real, honest, wholesome food. Too many people are being affected by what they eat. It’s time for a national revolution. America needs to stand up for better food!

You live in an amazing country full of inspirational people and you have the power to change things. With your help, we can get better food into homes, schools and communities all over America and give your kids a better future.”

Please watch Jamie Oliver’s 20 minute 2010 TED prize winning video (link below). Even if you don’t want to watch Jamie’s TV series or can’t watch it, the video is a must. Do it for your children and your grandchildren.

Ultra Lite – Day 40

Friday, February 26th, 2010

It’s the morning of day (40) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down another half pound, 14.5 lbs total weight-loss – weighing in at 160 lbs.

I am six days into my maintenance phase, and for the last three I have added two, six ounces glasses of red wine a day. The reason for this is that I have not had any wine this past month and I am going on a three day wine tasting trip, next weekend. I really don’t want to be passed-out after the first hour, so I need to build-back a little tolerance to alcohol.

The great thing about being a biochemist/doctor is the fact that I can use modern chemistry, anatomy and physiology to my advantage. This advantage not only helped me, but every client I put on this program.

Here is where chemistry comes in. Bringing the body into ketosis or maintaining ketosis is only possible if the level of carbohydrates, proteins and fats ingested, being converted into glucose (blood sugar), stays below a certain threshold. I have been in ketosis for a little over five weeks now. The fact that I have stayed in ketosis even though I have had two glasses of wine the past three nights, proves that my body, especially my brain, is requiring more glucose (blood sugar) than I am providing it, through my food and beverage intake. My increased exercise, cardio and weight training, level has kept by body liberating fat, supplying ketone bodies, to compensate for the low blood glucose, even though there is the addition of the increased daily carbohydrate intake from the wine.

My energy level and clarity of thought is still the same.

I have also converted back to my morning breakfast shake, which I have had as my daily breakfast for years.

Dr. Ettinger’s Breakfast Shake Ingredients:

Whey Protein Isolate (ISO 100) – 1 Scoop
Lecithin Granules (non-GMO) – 1 Tbsp (normally 2 Tbsp)
Flax Seed Oil (organic, cold pressed) – NOT NOW, but normally 1 Tbsp
Molecularly Distilled Fish Oil – 1 Tsp
Spirulina – 1 Tbsp
Vitamin D3 Emulsion – 6,000IU’s
Psyllium Husk Fiber – 1 heaping Tbsp
Konjac Soluble Fiber – 1 Tsp
Acai Powder, Organic Freeze Dried – 2 Tsp
Probiotic Defense, Now Foods – ½ Tsp
Strawberries
Water

Ultra Lite – Day 34

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

It’s the morning of day (34) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down another 1lb, a total of 14lbs lost – 160.5lbs. Now is the time I move into the Ultra Lite maintenance phase. My goal is to maintain my weight, a little may be lost, while dropping body fat. Heavy weight training at the gym and lots of cardio will be the key.

The wild part of this is that I am just a few pounds shy of what I weighed my senior year of high school. The difference though is that the weight is more muscle than fat.

Ultra Lite – Day 27

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

It’s the morning of day (27) on the Ultra Lite program and I’m now down another .5lb, 13lbs total – 161.5lbs. My original goal weight was between 160-165lbs and a body fat of 10%. My estimate is that I will have to hit 155lbs to reach 10%. Diego Sanchez, watch out.

January 15, 2010 – Fuburary 13, 2010

Age: 45 years, 5 months

3 weeks to go until my Sonoma wine tasting trip, then 4 weeks until we leave for an all inclusive trip to Puerto Vallarta. My goal as of today will be at 10% body fat by the end of March and somewhere between 155lbs and 160lbs. I will have to add 45-90 minutes of cardio, per week into the equation, along with 3-4 hours of weights. This is very doable. I can’t wait for next months pictures.
