The 10 Calorie Diet

Do you think that you’ll lose any weight if you trained like a marathon runner or spent 20 hours a week in the gym while eating only 10 calories a day? Of course you will, if you don’t keel over first. But what if you just subtracted 10 calories per meal and then added just one 2 oz. drink to your diet to insure you received all the nutrients you needed? Imagine losing that gut and having the extra energy to pursue a new hobby.

My friend Dave lost only 6 lbs. but took 2 inches off his waistline. His energy level is higher than when he was 20 and all he was trying to do was increase his intake of antioxidants. He didn’t change his diet or increase his workout routine. He did however add a lot of life to his existence.

Apparently 81% of Americans are severely deficient in many minerals and nutrients. This makes the body unable to produce the energy it needs. Pump up your minerals and antioxidants and you will have more energy and a better immune system. The government wants us to get between 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. They say that that will reduce our chances of getting a degenerative disease by roughly 60%. Until recently, I didn’t know that I could get the equivalent of 13 servings of fruits and vegetables in two little two ounce glasses of a relatively newly discovered berry from the Amazon rain forest.

If this had been available 30 years ago I might have felt like a twenty something but now at 52 I feel the way I should have at twenty. I thank my lucky stars that I found what I have found and that I feel the energy and vitality. The University of Florida found some even better uses than just losing weight.
