Detoxing

Everywhere I read they talk about detoxing. They have books, videos and speaking gurus on this subject. Has anyone thought to think that these ideas might need some detoxing themselves. Anyone who has money, knows how much more or less, that they have. They have what is called a balance sheet. This includes how much they owe or liabilities, and what it is they have that has value or assets. Thus the phrase, "net worth". Below is a formula for the basis of anyone considering or even in the middle of a weight loss program. If you already know what it means,  you might not need to read any further. If you choose to read on please join me in unison declaring that we need to detox the idea of weight loss from everyone's mind. OK here's the the test. Solve this and make one of the most life changing decisions you will ever make for the rest of your life.

BMR = 370 + (21.6 X 67.2) = 1821

TDEE = 1.55 X 1821 = 2822

.18% X 194 lbs. = 34.9 lbs

OK this is just some of the important stuff you need to know.

When you buy a house there is what they call a amortization breakdown. This shows what you have paid in interest and principle. At first we are sucked dry just paying the interest on this puppy. Why? Well we wanted to buy something that was more money than we had, or we saw an opportunity to cross from the debt side of the graph to the asset side of it. After all there was a time when buying a house was an investment. We were guaranteed about a 4 - 6 percent gain in value per year. What happened. People started using quick fix tactics to make a lot of money. You know what? They did!!! For a little while, they made a killing. Then just like most fads and hyped up ideas, it crashed. Why? Hmmmm, maybe we forgot basic math. Could anyone tell you then how to compound interest daily? Could they tell you the value of consistency? It appeared and was promoted, the idea that what you bought that day was going to be worth 20 - 30 % higher in value in x amount of years. Less than 2. Thus the sub prime frenzy. Because of the available credit based on fast increases in value on houses, obtaining credit was easy. The loans in themselves were justified in that they were designed to give someone a lower payment for a couple to five years. The loans was supposedly obtained by verified presentation of income and debt from the borrower. The lending institutions were to take value of the house plus 5-25% more and create a profile that showed other debt, (credit cards, car, and other loans). Then they communicated with the appraiser and adjusted the value so that they could pay off their back credit and start fresh. Most of the borrowers took their clean debt, and instead of saving what they had been paying on their other debt that was now clean, they started all over and began to make new loans and bought like crazy, everything they could. Manufacturing was screaming, cars, TVs, and everything from $100.00 steak dinners to $5000.00 trips to their nearest casino. They pumped their new debt right back into the hands of the one who had gotten them their new house and low payment.. How? The big banks were loaning to the manufactures because they couldn't keep up with the spike in supply and demand pricing. Banks gave generously, huge lines of credit based on percentages above value of assets. Why? Because businesses would buy, buy, and buy some more. Before the crash they were inventing programs and giving them labels. TAF,TSLF,they plowed through TARP and continued to name many others like the PPIP. The Public-Private Investment Program, rolled out in March 2009, was created to buy bad assets in order to get them off of banks' books. It was funded with a combination of TARP money and money from private investors. The program's main purpose was to provide price discovery in the market for toxic assets and to remove these assets from the balance sheets of financial institutions. Even if you don't think you understand this a little, don't worry they will throw at you another big word with a whole new language. Sound familiar? Fad diets over time have never been more creative. We have quack a doos on the internet (like me) trying to sell you on new discoveries and new tricks for removing weight. Did you notice what I said? Weight. You follow their program and watch the scales give you a lower number for about 3 - 5 months. The scale just quietly and crafty lures you into its warm and fuzzy clutches. It just gives you a number. You take this number and exploit it. You form a log to record each change. Up and down like an ocean tide. The scale has no emotion. Its a steady old boy. It doesn't argue with you. It doesn't flinch when you use other definitions to explain its faithfulness to you. It doesn't even care if you take it to court for draining the very life out you. It needs no health plan to fix it if it breaks or shatters from the flying lessons you have tried to give it. The scale is a rock. Unmovable. Always faithful quick to give you the answer to the question you present it by putting both feet on it asking it, "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth," You say "so help me God" as a threat. Then the crash. You can't reach the BMI number for your height. After all, the insurance companies use this, it has to be legit. So you starve yourself some more and lament over the fact that you feel weak and cranky. You can only focus on reaching your goal and being able to enjoy some of the foods you have proudly sacrificed as you held the course for this marathon of insanity.

We try to formulate in our minds a diet which will bring results quickly and allow us to only go without out favorite food for a short time. What do you think will happen after you reach your goal and you return to enjoying some of your favorite foods. Hey, look, I'm no doctor neither do I have credentials to claim something other than the facts. I don't want to have a lawsuit because I've concocted some new sexy way of removing weight. When I am in the line at the store, they have perfectly posed people on magazines, newspapers and advertisements. They show naughty food right along with their photos and tell you how you can eat your cake and lose it too. This is hypocrisy, torture, and guaranteed failure. In this blog I will try to make it simple and non scientific. We together will understand how to mange our health, mind and soul just as we were created to do so. We will study and have knowledge together on material we've never even considered to be a part of conditioning our bodies or temples, if you want to call them that. Join me, and lets go forward together and not let the un-detoxed gurus of this quick fix society suck us into their vacuum of  slavery and bondage. Bondage to misrepresentation of facts and slaves to a system that is all to well connected to those that care more about their balance sheets than the craziness they are trying to teach us. After we learn together what we don't know now, we will see ultimately that the un-detoxed promoters are doing a great job of ethnic cleansing. Even myself who has access to the stuff we will discover, I now want to pass them on to my family and friends. Sometimes coaches have been famous for saying, "Do as I say". "Not necessarily as I do". This will be my motto. Hopefully by the time I am done writing this, I also will have put into practice, the principles and knowledge I am going to try to present here in this blog.
