Hourglass Silhouette

My doctor said my stress hormone; cortisol was well above its critical threshold.

This was due to the lack of sleep and constant worrying; however, it was the image of MYSELF whom I barely recognized.

Naturally, I was so ashamed of rolls of fat, accumulating on my tummy.

The rolls were responsible for the spike in my blood pressure.

Combine this with the off-the-charts insulin and estrogen that so many of us are suffering from without even knowing it.

It’s so scary to think that we’re all just one stressful experience away from a mini-stroke.

I tell you the detrimental effects of bad cholesterol could be worse.

I could have endured a seizure, a heart attack or even worse.

Looking back, I’m actually one of the lucky ones.

Wherein lays the mystery, if 8American women die every hour from cardiovascular diseases, which are mainly caused by high cholesterol.

Overweight kills!

Luck is the only reason, why I am still alive. I am lucky to have had my husband around to rush me to the hospital.

Hours later I woke up like it any other day....tired, achy and hungry.

The only difference was that I was in a hospital bed attached to a heart monitor with tubes running in and out of me.

Even worse, my big butt hadn’t served me well. You’d think, it would absorb most of the shock, when I fell, but it did not.

The fall resulted in the fracture of 2 of my vertebrae. I laid there of the hospital bed half-awake.

The doctor and my husband were speaking in hushed voices at the foot of my hospital bed.

“You’re lucky she’s here” said the doctor. “She could have died.”

He went on to prescribe a litany of medication for me.

I heard him talking about the need to a scientific approach my overweight problem.

“But sir, I’m going to be extremely blunt with you here....” whispered the doctor...

“For your family’s sake, please get your wife’s affairs in order because she’s literally only a couple of pounds away from....well, I don’t have to tell you...

Hints of impending death got my heartbeat throbbing faster and beeps on the heart-rate monitor accelerated.

“The truth is, her growing resistance to insulin has damaged her ability to manage blood sugar levels.”

“The stress of all this combined with the excess weight is now forcing her body to pump-out ridiculous amounts of estrogen and cortisol...

At this point, it is difficult to decide what outcome should be of greater concern: cancer, diabetes or a heart attack.

My heart monitor began to race.

The accelerated beep on the heart-rate monitor caught my husband’s attention. He looked over and realized that I was awake.

To my shock, I realized that tears were streaming down his face. This was the first time, in our entire marriage, that I had ever seen my husband, crying.

For years, he had watched me struggle with overweight. He did his best to nudge me to shed off some extra fat to no avail.

This time, I could see the stern determination in his face. Then, wiping away the tears with one hand while clutching mine with the other, he told me, “the fat must go!”

As his grip grew tighter he looked into my eyes and whispered in my ear...

“You will be there to watch me walk our daughter down the aisle one day,

“And you’re going to look just as gorgeous as the day I met you.”

I blushed as my self-confidence returned. I even noticed beep on my heart-rate monitor, slowing down.

“You and I BOTH know that this extra weight, you have been carrying around is not permanent. Together, we are going to attack the fat from every angle.”

FROM THAT MOMENT ONWARDS, EVERYTHING CHANGED.

You see; 3weeks before landing my sorry ass in a hospital bed, I’d read from a “United Nations Release” that Japan was the healthiest country in the world.

As it turns out Japan has ranked in the top 5 for the last 50years!

The profundity of this UN Release really began to hit home, when I read that Japanese women had a record-breaking life expectancy of 87years.

That’s over 10 years longer than we get to live here... 10 YEARS!

Can you imagine getting an extra decade on this planet with your loved ones?

But the Japanese were also named the most “Disease-Resistant” & “Happiest” country as well. These women had uncommonly low rates of dementia, depression, heart attacks and strokes.

A long life is not all that counts. As a matter of fact, I personally rank quality of life much higher.

Believe it or not, this phenomenal achievement was made by a slight alteration in the eating habits of the Japanese about 62years ago.

Here, most of us are so sick already without even knowing it...

In the West, we have gotten so accustomed to accumulating weight that we do not notice the detrimental effects it regularly creates.

The next stunning revelation of the UN Release came as no surprise to me: on average Japanese women are 42lbs lighter than American women.

Quite incredible, isn’t?

While our obesity epidemic peaked at 67% of our adult population, the Japanese obesity index went in the opposite direction.

It dropped by three points. How could that be?

The puzzle just kept popping on the fringe of my mind.

How could such an astounding health miracle escape the habitual media frenzy?

And don’t worry I was just as shocked as you are right now when I saw the staggering statistics!

The phenomena stimulated my curiosity. I wanted to find out “Why” and more importantly “How” but there was one problem.

I flipped out my phone and hopped online, hoping to find an answer on Google.

As it turns out, the internet was of little help. Just statistics and no reason “why” or even a hint of “how-to” information.

TOTAL SHOCKER! THIS IS WAS AN UNBELIEVABLY SHOCKING DISCOVERY.

FAT LOSS IS THE RESULT OF EXPENDING MORE CALORIES THAN YOU CONSUMES.

And to be really honest; I selfishly prayed that the answer was neither unique to Japanese climate nor Japanese DNA.

I was desperate to uncover the reason these women living such long, ultra-healthy lives went unnoticed by the diet industry.

Even from the very get-go, I was starkly aware that the secret could be of invaluable importance to millions of North American women struggling with weight loss.

Now before I go any further and reveal exactly how these women live leaner and healthier lives; I have a guilty confession to make.

I am sure you have experienced that desperate feeling of praying that the extra fat just melts away.

If that’s the case, I’m betting those prayers have gone answered.

You are not alone. Mine too went unanswered. No miracle ever occurred.

The truth is, I had secretly opened a bank account to save up for liposuction surgery in an attempt answer my own prayers.

For over 2 years I had been squirreling away every dime for the $11,000-dollar surgery.

That day in the hospital I revealed the plan to my husband. Of course, I was still $3,000 short of my goal and my luck was not about to change.

Gradually, the idea began to hold in my mind, that taking the easy-way-out was not the appropriate solution to weight loss.

So, instead of walking into a surgeon’s office, I walked into the Bio-Nutrition Research Laboratory at my local university.

With the assistance of the nutrition experts, I finally lost 34lbs.

Hurray! I had cracked, what I later came to call the “Japan Code.”

For 6 months straight we devoured every piece of information we could find. We interviewed a vast array of endocrinologists, scientists and doctors.

Everything didn’t go smoothly from the start. Some of these scientists proved outright hostile to our efforts. They considered us obnoxious amateurs.

It took quite a lot of persistence to get them to come around. When they finally did, the results were amazing.

It turns out that Shoku-Iku (Nutrition Architecture) is a set of guidelines, broken down into extremely simple food and flavor-pairing rituals.

Each pairing had a specific purpose. The main purpose of the pairings was to create a “hormonal and metabolic balance” to guarantee optimal metabolic function.

In America, we do the exact opposite. In North America we literally try to “attack” obesity and cardiovascular problems from the outside.

In the diet industry, this is generally known as the “Shotgun Approach”. In essence, it consists of swallowing the latest pills, being peddled in late-night infomercials.

Back In 1966, as the fast-food craze hit America; the Japanese were busy doing the exact opposite.

Instead of indulging their fast-food industry, they encourage their citizens to eat sushi.

To make their “wellness from within” Flavor-Pairing Rituals and Shoku-Iku, the country’s mandatory Nutritional Platform.

At the very same period that we were quickly becoming the fattest and most unhealthy country on the planet,

The Japanese just kept losing weight and getting leaner and toner.

This happened because of a metabolically explosive set of Flavor-Pairing rituals they adopted over 50 years ago.

And that’s what really gave me peace of mind that flavor-pairing was the key to unlocking the female fat-loss code.

Be re-assured, this wasn’t one of those scams, constantly being peddled by doctors with questionable credentials on late night TV.

Shoku-Iku is a proven methodology and the lean bodies of Japanese women provide all the proof, anyone can ever ask for.

This was 50 years of proof combined with 2 billion people living leaner and sleeker lives.

And did I mention that Japanese women consume more carbohydrates than any other country as well?

In fact, they eat almost double the carbs, we eat here!

From there we began to examine other nations that topped the list for “Healthiest Countries” like Spain, Switzerland and Australia.

My research team was working overtime. We dug deep to uncover the secret of the lean and ultra-healthy.

Focusing specifically on weight loss and how they actually maintain such lean and slender figures.

It took a while, but a clear pattern emerged. The women, who lost weight the fastest, all had the same set of best practices.

They lived stress-free lives and engaged in predictable habits.

They exercised regularly and ate clean. They drank fruit juice and never touched a drop of alcohol.

We also found out that all of our own North American diet and weight loss rituals were completely unheard of in Japan.

THEY DID NOT wear any electronic vibrator belts
THEY DID NOT have to eat bland food or starve themselves
THEY DID NOT spend money on expensive pills or supplements
THEY DID NOT spend hours counting calories to no avail
