This is what we call stubborn fat. You exercise, you sweat, you eat right, but you still have this belly fat!

The solution is looking at the hormone picture. Ori Hofmekler gives us the details in this video. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Stubborn fat is a slow metabolized fat tissue that resits fat burning. The belly is the most common area for stubborn fat storage. Int this video, Ori Hofmekler says stubborn fat is due to a hormonal imbalance. estrogen is the culprit. Aging plays a role.

I prefer to eat hormone and anti-biotic free meats as often as possible. Sometimes this means a trip to the health food store or local Farmer’s Market. Organic meat is the best, and at a minimum I look for the wording hormone and anti-biotic free on the label, or talk with the farmer who is selling the meat.

Dairy is another potential source of  unwanted hormones. I have not had a glass of milk in over a decade.

I would love to hear your thoughts about stubborn belly fat and hormones in the food supply. Please use the comment box below. Thank you for reading and watching.

And Agave is really high in fructose.

Equal to or greater than high fructose corn syrup.

And just how is fructose metabolized by the body?

Check out the video for the answer, it will surprise you. There is a list of issues related to excess fructose. The liver is where fructose is metabolized.

This video gives a great overview of agave nectar and why it may not be a good alternative to other sweeteners.

Stevia is my favorite alternative sweetener. I just planted a couple stevia plants in my garden. A few leaves on my salad and it really gives it a flavor boost.

My father recently died from complications of diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family, so I have to pay attention to anything sweet. Agave is obviously not a good choice for me. – Jeff Yentzer.

Sure fructose occurs naturally in fruit.  But as you will see from the video, it is the cumulative daily total intake of  fructose that becomes a problem. So even though agave may be natural, pay attention to the fructose quantity.

My personal tip: Get good nourishment. This helps to ward off cravings. We all know that we are supposed to be eating more fruits and vegetables. But what if you are in a time crunch? That's where powdered greens come in. Mix one small scoop in water (purified), shake and go. There are many good greens products on the market. My current favorite is Core Greens, by Synergy. It has the best formulation of ingredients I have seen so far. (An yes, I do make a commission from the sale of this product, and you can too. Full disclosure is always a good policy.)

What about the composition of the food, high carbs, low carbs, low fat?

And how does the role of hormones fit into the puzzle of the optimum weight?

Even beer drinking guys that eat 400 chicken wings don’t really want to be fat. They just don’t want to stop eating.

You don’t get fat because you overeat, you overeat because you are getting fat. There is more to it behind the scenes that just consuming more calories that you are expending.

But what is the best way to exercise to reduce acidity in the body.

Gentle and moderate exercise is the key.

You want to get blood moving and oxygen flowing. This provides great benefit for the body. Exercising too aggressively can be counter productive. When you over exercise the body produces lactic acid. That is what contributes to the sore muscles after exercising.

Walking, yoga, playing catch, a nice bike ride are all good. One of the big keys is to have fun while moving. An exercise buddy helps with motivation.

Exercise is a great stress reducer. And stress in one of the quickest ways to get the body acidic. So counteract the stress by working it out with some movement. And have fun while doing it.

Jumping on a mini trampoline is a wonderful form of exercise. Put on some upbeat music and have fun with it. It gets the lymph fluid moving in the body. You can workout at whatever intensity is good for you. You don’t have to jump up and down. You can just do some gentle bouncing, where your feet hardly leave the trampoline.

One of my favorite ways to balance my pH is to drink an organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body.

He is not a doctor, but a chef.

He is teaching kids and adults, healthier ways to cook and eat.

- I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.

America is leading the way in obesity and unhealthy eating habits. Do you believe there are kids out there that do not know the difference between a tomato and potato?

Education is the best weapon we have against the early grave, caused by a poor diet.

I would love to hear your input on this topic. Please use the comment box below to speak your mind!

At the rate we are going, our kids are set up to live a shorter life span than us adults. Thanks to advances in science we are living longer than we did200 years ago, but now it seems we are going the other way. There is a fix.

The best strategy is to vote with your dollars at the supermarket. I much prefer to support local farmers at the farmers market. And shop for organic and healthier choices at the  grocery stores. Let the soda pop, chips, candy bars and other junk food rot on the shelves. Although that will probably take a long time with all the preservatives…

So is there a good way to get the junk out of your body, if you have been eating processed food for a while? My favorite method is with Dr. Miller’s Iaso tea. It is anorganic, cleansing herbal tea.It accelerates the removal of toxins and waste from my body.

The US government official diet really does not make one very healthy.

It may be a food pyramid that creates pyramidal shaped people.

Dr Weston Price, a dentist wondered why his patients were increasingly unhealthy. He set out on a global expedition to study healthy people and what they were eating.

Check out the video to lean more about his incredible adventure and the eye opening dietary information he uncovered.

She got up to 300 lbs. Very unwell and very miserable.

According to her story, a  raw food diet changed all that.

Angela Stokes on CNN News: Raw Food Weight Loss

One day while working in a greenhouse the light came on. This is what I have been waiting for, this is what I have been searching for. 160 pound weight loss later, she shares her story with others.

The heart of the diet is:

• Nuts
• Seeds
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• In an unheated, unprocessed condition.

Starting out on the Raw Food Diet, the Easier Way

I like her recommendation, start out slow. In the beginning, go with 50% raw or better. I think that is good advice. A 100% raw diet is really too extreme for most people and may not even be healthy in the long run, in my humble opinion. Personally I like to eat  a good percentage of raw foods. Somewhere around 70% raw is good for me. A little bit of meat helps to match my metabolic type and still keep a good pH alkaline balance.

I clearly feel more energy. I can eat as much food as I like, and not worry about putting on excess weight.

Obsessing over healthfood.

Is this a ploy by the powers that be to discredit healthy eating or do people really get stressed about health food.  I would love to hear your opinion on this video.

I know from personal experience that eating healthy can sometimes be stressful. You seem to be going against the flow of what everyone else is doing. But then again, everyone else is getting fatter, sicker and more tired. What I am trying to do is feel better, have more energy and live a long healthy life.

Have you ever gone into a restaurant, looked at the menu and thought to yourself, there is nothing healthy on this menu? Or you feel embarrassed because you have to make a special request to get some food that is acceptable to someone who is health conscious.

If you have a spouse, or other family members who are not into health food it can be challenging. I know that first hand.
