The Ten Steps I Give My Patients to Lose Weight...The Best and Healthy Way.

Copyright 2006 Ted Crawford

Why not start living a lifestyle that will do EVERYTHING

for your mind AND body?

No pills, no frills, no counting calories; and being able

to eat frequently.

Start eating and living this way and you will not only lose

weight, but you will reduce your risk of developing

cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, the aging

process, and you will become more healthy, fit and alert.

You WILL lose weight and be healthier and happier all at

the same time!

Ten Steps. This is all you need! Sad isn’t it. But it is

the truth.

1. WATER! Drink plenty of water; at least 64 oz/day. If

you hate water like so many of my patients do, “spice it

up” with lime or lemon. You can buy the squirt bottles of

the lime or lemon juice at the grocery store. Hydrate

those cells, flush away the toxins, and give your stomach

the feeling that it is full. You will eat less as a result.

2. MOVE! Stay off of your butt as much as possible! You

burn more calories just standing than sitting. Stand and

walk as much as you can. Walk, walk, walk!

3. GRAZE! Eat more often. Keep your “good” snacks at your

disposal during the day. We were NOT meant to eat two to

three large meals a day.

4. Eat primarily a plant-based diet with plenty of

“colorful” fruits and vegetables. Eat at least “a handful”

of nuts/day. Try to eliminate or greatly cut down on dairy

and substitute soy or rice milk.

5. AVOID fried foods, breads, cakes, bagels, cookies,

muffins, and other “simple carbs” except for a special

occasion like a birthday or special social gathering.

6. Eat cold water fish (salmon, tuna, halibut) at least 2-3

times/week and use the fish, beans, and lentils as your

main protein source.

7. Eat LEAN cuts of meat (red meats SPARINGLY—not more than

a couple of times/week).

8. Eliminate soda pop; YES, even DIET soda!

9. Eat a bedtime snack if you need, but stick to one of the

recommended snacks like fruit, nuts, carrots, berries, or

low fat popcorn.

10. Eliminate or greatly cut down on your caffeine intake.

Another problem in our society is SLEEPING difficulties;

many of which could be eliminated if we eliminated this

drug!

WHAT I DO. My patients commonly ask me what I do with

regards to diet & exercise. Well, here it is.

Here is a “typical day”. I get up and walk my dog every

morning 20-30 minutes. I do a 15 minute workout on my

Total Gym in my garage at least 2-3 times/week to work my

upper body. My breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal or

oatmeal with some fruit like a banana, peaches,

blueberries, grapes, or strawberries. I keep healthy

snacks at my desk at work at all times or in the

refrigerator if they need to be kept cold. I get hungry at

various times during the day and THE BEST thing that curbs

my appetite is mixed nuts that I keep in my drawer. A

handful of them completely takes care of the cravings and

is good for you with low calories, plenty of fiber, and

healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Two items that I keep in the

refrigerator are small carrots (the small little washed

ones in a bag), and apples. I have water at my desk at all

times. I am a physician and am on my feet a lot going from

room to room seeing patients, but I also try to take a

10-15 minute walk at lunch as well. When I get home, I do

a few chores around the house and eat a sensible dinner

MOST of the time like grilled chicken or salmon with a

salad. I DO like to dine out and do splurge at times with

a good steak or perhaps a chimichanga from one of my

favorite Mexican restaurants. I very RARELY have dessert

unless it is at an important family or social function and

it perhaps would offend the host if I didn’t at least try

it.

There you have it. I hope you have found this helpful and

can use this information to start living a healthier life

today!
