Mission

This book is dedicated to the activists and practitioners of natural medicine and natural

healing around the world.

We cannot cure disease by blindly following the fabricated, toxic, and profit-driven

therapies of the medical establishment. Since conventional treatments have failed to

cure any diseases, we must create our own holistic therapies and alternative methods.

As such, all of the royalties from the sale of this book are being used to help fund the

mission of educating people about natural health care and exposing corporate and

government corruption.

Once you’ve healed yourself using these methods, I ask you to join my mission by

sharing your positive experience with friends and family so they know there is another

path to vibrant health.

Legal Disclaimer

In this day and age, it is unbelievable to me that the world has come to this. It pains me

that I must write a disclaimer at the beginning of this book.

Imagine – a person who is supposed to be allowed to express his opinions under the

banner of "free speech" must still put a disclaimer as a preface to his words, thoughts,

and opinions.

Lawyers are squashing the rights of people like me from freely expressing their ideas.

So, with a figurative gun to my head, I write these words:

Before you read this book, you better check with your medical doctor and anyone you

feel is smarter than you and see if you can get permission to read what I have to say.

You must know that everything I say in this book is simply my opinion, and there are

many people who violently disagree with my conclusions.

If you do anything, I recommend that without the supervision of a licensed medical

doctor, you do so at your own risk. The publisher, author, distributors, and bookstores

presenting this information do so for educational purposes only.

I am not making an attempt to prescribe any medical treatment since under the laws of

the United States, only a licensed medical doctor (MD) can do so.

How sad! So ... this book is only my opinions, my thoughts, and my conclusions. Again, it

is for educational purposes only, and you and only you are responsible if you choose to

do anything based on what you read.

Introduction

Welcome to The Favorite Food Diet. You’ve made a very smart choice in choosing this

program, and you’re one step closer to the body of your dreams.

As you probably already know, my name is Chrissie Mitchell. I’m a 42-year-old mother of

three, a loving wife, and a health and fitness fanatic.

And if you’re tired of dieting, starving yourself, and never seeing any results, this book is

for you. The information you’re about to learn will not only perfectly shape and

transform your body, it will also make sure you will never gain the weight back again.

How can I be so confident? Well, I’ve tried every diet under the sun and nothing worked.

And having developed this program and seeing countless women go through it, I know

it will work for you.

Trust me – I know how you feel. I’ve struggled with weight gain for years. Each

pregnancy left me fatter than before. It’s not that all of the diets I’ve tried over the years

didn’t work ... they did. It’s just that as soon as the diet was over, I’d go back to my

comfort foods and gain all the weight back and more.

After almost giving up and feeling like I was going to be fat forever, my husband and I

stumbled across some research that changed my life forever.

This is the same research that has helped thousands of women lose all of their fat and

get into the same shape they were in during their 20’s – sometimes even better! And all

while eating the foods they love and never feeling like they were missing out or starving.

You’ll learn the science behind this program and exactly what you need to get the beach

body you’ve always wanted.

I know I’ve finally found the solution to effortless, permanent weight loss, but don’t take

my word for it. Everything you’ll learn has been third-party tested and proven to work.

In fact, this diet worked 100% of the time during clinical trials.

I’ve included everything in a straightforward, no-nonsense book that acts as a practical

hands-on guide for what you should and should not do to burn fat without hardly

trying.

In the first part of this book, I’ll give you some alarming statistics about obesity and how

it’s affecting our country. I’ll share what’s wrong with current weight loss programs and

why most diets will never work.

In Part 2, I’ll open your eyes to the true cause of weight gain which has been discovered

through years of research and testing. It’s simple to understand, but it’s been

overlooked by the diet industry.

In Part 3, we’ll go over a 3-step plan to quickly and easily lose all of the fat you want and

how to keep it off permanently without even trying.

And finally, in the last part of the book, you’ll find delicious recipes you and your family

can enjoy while you’re on this program.

I’ve worked hard to write this book, and I promise The Favorite Food Diet is real. It will

change your life, and it’s time you discover how easy it is to get in the best shape of

your life. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. So ... what are you waiting

for? Let’s get you started!

Chapter 1 Obesity: A

Growing Problem

It’s not hard to see the many ways we are expanding our horizons in the United States.

Business, technology, international relations, and education are just a few examples that

come to mind. While those are all things to be optimistic about, there is a certain

expansion for which we need to be on high alert – obesity. But just how concerned

should we be?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has reported an astonishing three-fold increase in

childhood obesity rates (children and adolescents ages 2-19) in the U.S. over the past

three decades. Maybe it’s just me, but that number puts me on the edge of my seat with

worry about the health and future of America’s children.

What about adults, you ask? Recent CDC data found that over 36% of adults in the U.S.

are obese with women slightly more obese than men.i What’s most concerning is that

like childhood obesity rates, the percentage of adults who are obese goes up nearly 3-

4% every year.2

Think about that for a minute ... essentially, more than one of every three adults in the

U.S. is obese, and children are not far behind. Isn’t it odd to think that in spite of all the

technology and advancements we’ve made in regards to food production and

nutritional science, we continue to get fatter?

If anything, with all of the weight-loss diets and our advanced understanding of human

nutritional needs, we should be getting slimmer.

To make matters more concerning, it is estimated that annual medical costs in the U.S.

for people who are obese are roughly $1,500 higher than costs for those in a normal

weight range. That adds up to 100s of billions of dollars in extra medical costs per year.

The Scary Complications of Being Obese

Being overweight puts you at risk of a lot of other problems. That’s why it’s so important

you lose weight as soon as possible. You might feel fine now, but statistically,

overweight people have many more health challenges including:

Heart Disease & Strokes

Heart disease and strokes are the leading causes of death in America. The risks of

heart disease and strokes are 50% higher for adults that are obese.

Diabetes

In one of the largest studies every done (Nurses Health study), the risk of

developing diabetes was 93 times higher among women who were obese.

Cancer

There is evidence of an association between obesity and cancers of the

esophagus, pancreas, colon, breast, and kidney.

Depression

New evidence confirms the relationship between obesity and depression exists. In

fact, research has discovered that obese people have a 55% higher risk of

developing depression.

Reproduction

Obesity can influence various aspects of reproduction from sexual activity to

conception. Obesity increases the risk of experiencing early- and late-term

miscarriages, infertility, and complications during labor and delivery.

14

Lung Function & Respiratory Disease

Excess weight impairs respiratory function via mechanical and metabolic

pathways. Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea are two common respiratory

diseases linked with obesity.

Memory & Cognitive Function

Being obese increases your risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 42%. It also increases

your risk for dementia.

Musculoskeletal Disorders

Excess weight places mechanical and metabolic strains on bones, muscles, and

joints. Obese patients account for a third of all joint replacement operations.

There’s also an increased risk for back pain, lower limb pain, and disability.

Mortality

Overweight people have an increased risk of death from all causes including

cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other life-threatening diseases.

Other Complications

Other complications obesity can cause include gallstones, gout, chronic kidney

disease, and non-alcoholic, fatty-liver disease.

The saddest part of all this is that obesity is easily reversible. Unfortunately, this isn’t a

good business model for the pharmaceutical or diet industry which stand to lose billions

of dollars a year.

15

Dieting Myths

The diet industry will do anything to confuse you and prevent you from achieving

permanent weight loss. Let’s look at a few myths they use to stop you from seeing real

results.

Calories Are All That Matter

FALSE – When we look at the complexity of the human body and the biochemical

reactions that occur, it seems like an oversimplification to say that the body treats

all calories the same. The body has different hormonal responses to different

macronutrients, and hormones are ultimately what dictate how our body handles

calories.

In addition, there are many causes that have proven this to be wrong. For

example, in a diet called 80/10/10 where you only eat fruit all day long. People

are able to eat 3000-5000 calories and still lose weight, so it’s not just about

calories.

You Need to Exercise for Hours Every Day to Lose Weight

FALSE – The diet industry loves to sell you intense cardio programs through late

night infomercials to make money. But I’m here to tell you, you don’t need to do

intense cardio all the time to lose weight.

While exercise programs can help you tone your muscles, diet is the main factor

in whether or not you lose weight.

Genetics Are Keeping You Fat

FALSE – This is arguably the saddest excuse for being overweight. I know that

may seem harsh, but there is little basis to believe that even if you diet and

16

exercise properly, your body won’t lose weight. I’m not saying that genetics have

absolutely nothing to do with your bodyweight, because they certainly do; but

the idea that you have some sort of genetic abnormality that literally keeps your

body fat is just not the case.

Eating Smaller, More Frequent Meals Speeds Up Your Metabolism

FALSE – Many fitness “gurus” and nutritionists believe that if you eat more

frequently, you will naturally boost your metabolism. However, this is a flawed

idea.

Research has shown that eating more frequently leads to eating more bad foods

which ultimately means gaining more weight. In fact, the latest research says the

exact opposite – not eating for long periods of time or fasting is the best way to

lose weight.

Fat Makes You Fat

FALSE – This is taking the saying, “You are what you eat”, a bit too literally. While

fat does contain more calories per gram than carbohydrates and protein, it

doesn’t make you fat simply by consuming it.

Fat is an essential nutrient and plays an integral role in your health and well-

being. Essential fatty acids (like omega-3 fatty acids), are necessary for proper

cellular and heart function as well as fighting inflammation. Even saturated fatty

acids like those found in butter are necessary for proper function. If any of the

macronutrients were to blame, it would be carbohydrates.

Don’t believe everything published by the diet industry. If everyone really got in shape,

they would go out of business. It’s in their best interest to spread false information.

17

Chapter

2 The “Diet” Conspiracy

The Fake Search for the Cure

Just think about this for a second ... how many thousands of dollars have you spent on

losing weight and getting fit? After all that money, what results did you get? Are you in

the best shape of your life, or are you overweight?

Last year in the United States alone, $20 billion was spent on diet books, diet drugs, and

weight loss surgeries – more than any other country spent. And yet our rates of obesity

are some of the highest in the world. How could we be spending the most money on

dieting and still have the highest level of obesity?

To get to the bottom of this, we’re going to have to do some good, old-fashioned

investigative work. When I look for the truth, the first thing I do is follow the money.

Diet Industry

Think about this ... all of those diet books, weight loss programs, supplements, and late-

night, exercise infomercials are selling thousands (if not millions) of copies each and

every year.

They use celebrity spokespeople to help push their products. Many of them struggle

themselves to keep their weight off (Kirstie Alley, Oprah Winfry, and Jennifer Hudson –

just to name a few).

18

Every year these companies get bigger and bigger, bringing in more profits and

expanding their product lines.

Why in the world would they want you to lose weight? Stay with me here, and think

about it ... if you actually lost all of the weight and kept it off for good, they would all go

out of business.

I know this industry very well. I’ve tried every diet I could find. Many of the products are

complete garbage, tendering on fraud (We’ll get to the later).

I’m not saying none of these diet work. They do. I’ve tried many of them that worked –

it’s just that they are not meant to work in the long run.

I’ll admit that I have seen a few, very dedicated individuals lose weight and keep it off in

the long run. But these people are very motivated, and most people do not achieve

these results – hence the disclaimer we see all too often, “Results not typical”.

My point is, the diet industry has no reason to ever cure obesity for good. Doing so

would put them out of business. Let’s look at the other culprits ... here’s where it gets

interesting.

Food Companies

Since the introduction of modern food processing, our food has steadily been getting

worse, devoid of nutrients and packed with calories. It’s no wonder we have an obesity

epidemic.

The vast majority of Americans don’t cook anymore. We are rapidly becoming a culture

of fast food. And while I won’t disagree the stuff tastes great, we all know it’s junk. This

food is so processed that our bodies don’t even recognize it as food. Instead, it works its

hardest to eliminate everything you ate.

19

This means your body isn’t getting the nutrition it needs, so even after you eat a huge

meal, you’re still hungry. On top of that, the food companies add special chemicals that

make you feel even hungrier.

Again, all of this is done on purpose to sell more food and make money. The more you

eat, the bigger you get. The bigger you get, the more you eat. Everything equates to

making more money and skyrocketing profits.

Add billions of dollars in advertising, and how could anyone resist? I mean, you can’t

turn on the TV or drive down the street without seeing an advertisement for a new

cheeseburger or some ultra rich dessert. We are literally bombarded with messages to

eat, eat, eat!

My dad is a perfect example. Every time I visit, he’s watching the Food Network. Fast

forward an hour, and he and my mom are making what they just saw on TV, even

though they just ate.

But who could blame them? It’s hard to stay away from all that junk food. Veggies have

a hard time competing with chemically addictive, artificially flavored processed foods.

And even if you’re one of the good ones who mostly avoids these foods and shops at

the supermarket, your situation isn’t much better.

Except for the outermost perimeter of the store that usually holds healthier, whole, and

unprocessed foods, everything down the inner aisles is literally junk – food that’s

tweaked with chemicals for maximum “mouth feel” and “repeat appeal” (addictiveness).

Low-fat, light, lean, diet, zero, low-carb, low-cal, sugar-free, “healthy” – all marketing

words created to cover up more junk. And it’s all making us fat.

It’s best to avoid as much of this toxic food as possible. Not so you’ll lose weight, but so

you don’t get sick. Almost all diseases today are diet related. Don’t buy into the lie that

20

it’s about your genes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Disease is almost entirely

related to what you put in your mouth.

Having said that, there’s no way any of us can resist our favorite foods all of the time.

But don’t worry – later on in this book, I’ll show you how you can still eat those foods

and lose weight.

We all know that bad food is related to obesity. But there’s another connection that not

everyone knows about, and it’s the main reason the food industry wants us fat.

Big Pharma Profits

Here’s something that might shock you.

Major food companies are owned and run by the same bigwigs that own the big

pharmaceutical companies. Why?

Because eating poorly is the major contributor to disease. So not only do they profit

while you overeat on their scientifically created junk food, they also profit on your

suffering when you develop a major disease.

Don’t believe me? Look it up.

Think about it ... in a world where no sickness existed, do you think pharmaceutical

companies could be near as wealthy as they are nowadays?

The sicker we are as a society, the more Big Pharma drugs they can sell. And don’t worry

– doctors hand out most prescription drugs like candy these days since they often

receive a kickback from pharmaceutical companies for each patient they prescribe to.

It may sound cynical, but the pharmaceutical and medical industries as a whole like it

when we are sick – it keeps them in business.

21

This is why the title of this chapter includes the word “conspiracy”, because food

companies and Big Pharma realize that fat people are sick people, and that brings more

drug sales. It’s quite a brilliant scheme when you think about it, but it’s a despicable one

as well, to say the least.

None of this will ever be reported on in the news. Can you guess why? Those same

companies also connected to major media companies.

Government Protection?

“What about the government?” you ask. Doesn’t the Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) step in and make sure food companies stay honest and keep food safe?

Well … that’s what it was first created for, but today, it doesn’t work anything like that

anymore. Pharmaceutical companies have been spending millions of dollars lining the

pockets of corrupt politicians in order to keep the drugs flowing.

In fact, most of the top executives at the FDA either worked for Big Pharma in the past

or were offered high-paying jobs right after their terms in office.

So, you can’t trust any of their recommendations, and yes, this includes their food

recommendations.

Congress has had numerous meetings and panels to come up with the “best” dietary

guidelines. But instead of looking at real world science, they line the panels with people

who have direct ties with the pharmaceutical industry.

In the last 50 years, they have changed their guidelines a handful of times, and each

time the guidelines were changed, there was a sharp increase in obesity.

22

Listen, the cause of obesity is well known. It has been for years, yet the government’s

suggestions are the exact opposite. They are all working together to keep you fat, all for

the sake of profits and lining their pockets.

I know – it’s easier to believe what you’ve been told and follow everyone else rather

than think for yourself. This is part of human nature. We want to believe that what the

government and drug companies tell us about food is true. Unfortunately, most of it

isn’t.

This disinformation is driven into people’s minds to such an extent that hearing anything

different sounds crazy to them.

If people knew the truth, these industries would lose huge profits because the financial

”health” of these operations depends on them having complete control over what the

public knows about their own nutrition and health.

Unfortunately, you just can’t trust the nutritional information provided by the

government anymore. We have to start listening to our bodies.

Obesity is all about the money, and the food industry and pharmaceutical companies

are making a killing off of your suffering. Yo-yo dieting used to be your only option, but

we both know that doesn’t work.

In the next chapter, I’ll show you a new science. One that is not driven by profits, but

instead, one that is meant to put an end to all of the pain and suffering caused by

obesity.

23

PART 2:

THE TRUE CAUSE OF

OBESITY

24

Chapter 3 How Your Body

Stores Fat

Now that we know how the diet, food, and drug industries have conspired with the

government to keep us fat, it’s time to learn the truth.

You may feel like the victim right now, but as you will soon find out, the solution to all

obesity is pretty simple.

First, let’s learn a little more about how our body stores fat. Understanding this is key to

figuring out what to do about the problem.

Most people get fat in common places. For men, it’s around the belly, and for women,

it’s the hips, thighs, and buttocks. But did you know this is a key indicator of hormonal

imbalances?

If you have struggled to lose weight or keep it off, I guarantee that your hormones are

at play. Your hormones control every aspect of weight loss including your metabolism,

where you store your fat, your appetite, and even your cravings!

This means any form of hormonal imbalance will sabotage your efforts – regardless of

your diet and exercise habits. While there are many hormones that affect weight gain,

I’m going to focus all of my attention on the only one that really matters ... insulin.

Insulin

It’s no longer a secret. Why your body stores fat has been well known for many years –

and that reason is insulin.

Insulin is the hormone in your body directly responsible for converting excess sugar into

fat. That’s its job. The more insulin you have, the more fat you gain. It’s literally that

simple. Insulin = Fat.

25

Let me give you an example ... if everything was working properly and your insulin levels

were normal, you would eat around 2000 calories, your body would burn 2000 calories,

and your body weight would stay the same.

26

But what would happen if you ate those same 2000 calories and your insulin levels were

too high? Well, since insulin is responsible for converting sugar into fat, it would take

some of those calories and instantly store them as fat. In this example, around 500

calories would be stored as fat.

But it get worse. Say your body needs those 2000 calories to function throughout the

day. Since you stored 500 calories, you’re body is 500 calories short of its daily

requirement, so it tells your brain that you’re hungry. So you eat and eat and store more

and more fat, and you’re always hungry.

This is why almost all Type 2 diabetics taking insulin injections are overweight. They are

getting way too much insulin. But you don’t have to be diabetic to have too much

insulin.

If you are overweight, I can guarantee it’s because you suffer from some form of insulin

resistance. Because of that, your body compensates by making too much insulin. This

leads to easy weight gain and constant food cravings. But what causes insulin resistance,

and how do you fix it?

27

Fat/Sugar Connection

This is important, and you won’t find this information anywhere else, so read carefully.

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and each one of them needs energy to survive

– just like you do. Your cells primarily feed off of sugar in the form of glucose.

Everything you eat ultimately gets converted into glucose and sent into your

bloodstream.

In a perfectly healthy environment, glucose is easily absorbed through the cell walls. The

cells don’t require insulin to absorb glucose – that is a myth. (10) (11)

When you eat a typical meal, say pork chops and potatoes, you take in a large amount

of fat and glucose – fat from pork chops that might be fried, and glucose from the

broken-down carbohydrates from the potatoes.

Glucose

CELL

Healthy Glucose Metabolism

Healthy cells can easily absorb

glucose from the bloodstream.

Insulin is not required for this to take

place as the medical industry has

tricked you into believing.

28

Now, if you took some of your blood after this meal and put it into a centrifuge (a

machine that spins things really fast), you’d separate the red blood cells from everything

else. And what you’ll see floating at the top is a murky layer of fat. The fat you ate for

dinner is now traveling through your arteries.

If your body has a high amount of fat floating in your blood (lipids), your cells get

coated with a layer of fat. This makes it impossible for glucose to enter the cell. Cells

become weak, and sugar builds up in your blood stream because it’s not being

absorbed by the cells.

Insulin is how your body deals with excess glucose in the bloodstream.

In order to deal with this excess glucose and protect your body from harm, your

pancreas creates insulin which then grabs excess glucose and stores it as fat.

Excess Glucose

CELL

High Lipid Glucose Metabolism

High blood lipids (FAT) are very sticky

and coat the outside of your cells,

making it very difficult for the glucose

to be absorbed by the cells.

This is why your blood sugar spikes

and you still feel tired. High blood

sugar is dangerous, and that’s where

insulin comes in.

FAT

29

Since the way you’ve been eating has caused your cells to be chronically covered in fat

and filled your blood with sugar, your pancreas has to produce an excessive amount of

insulin, day after day.

To clarify – the reason your body makes too

much insulin is TOO MUCH FAT and TOO

MUCH SUGAR in your bloodstream at the

same time.

It’s not that either fat or sugar is bad for you. It’s when you eat excessive amounts of

both with every meal.

For example, you could eat a diet that’s pure sugar, and as long as you eat little to no

fat, you would lose weight. In fact, a raw, fruit-only diet does exactly that, and it’s super

high in sugar.

Glucose Stored as Fat

CELL

Insulin Function

The body releases insulin to get rid of

excess glucose in the bloodstream.

Without insulin, your body would go

into shock.

FAT

Insulin

30

The same goes for a diet high in fat. You can eat all the bacon and butter you want as

long as you don’t eat sugar or carbohydrates at the same time. The Atkins Diet and the

Paleo Diet are just a couple of the diets that work on this principle.

But wait a second…

How come there are people who can eat anything they want yet still remain skinny?

They eat fat and sugar all the time and don’t gain an ounce of fat. Why are they so

lucky?

I’m here to tell you they have a secret – something overweight people don’t have, and

I’ll reveal exactly what that secret is as well as how you can use it in the next chapter.

31

Chapter 4 The True Cause

of Obesity

In the last chapter, we learned that too much insulin is the cause of unwanted fat gain,

and that your body releases too much insulin because we are eating too much fat and

too much sugar at the same time.

Now I want to explain how those lucky few can eat anything they want (including mixing

fats and sugars) and get away with it.

And trust me, it has nothing to do with their metabolism.

The truth is it all comes down to their gut!

In a groundbreaking study, researchers discovered that the bacteria in the guts of those

who were obese were completely different from the gut bacteria of those who were

skinny.

But the researchers went further and isolated the exact bacteria responsible for keeping

people skinny and gave them to overweight people. And guess what happened? They

all lost weight without changing a thing about their lives.

How Your Gut Biome Affects Your Weight Gain

You might be a little confused at this point because in the last chapter I said fat gain is

caused by insulin, and now I’m saying it’s caused by gut bacteria.

32

They’re one and the same, and I’ll show you how they are related.

In your body, you have literally trillions of little bacteria living in your intestines. They are

essential to digesting and absorbing your food. If they are out of balance, all sorts of

things start going wrong.

These bacteria are critical not only to weight loss, but also to good health in general. But

out of all the wonderful things they do, there are two things that stand out.

1. Good Bacteria Prevents Bad Microbes from Overgrowing

In your gut, there are thousands of different species of bacteria competing for

survival. Some are good, and some are bad. When you have the right balance

(about 85% good to 15% bad), your good bacteria keeps the bad bacteria at bay.

It also keeps a different type of microbe in check … fungus. These guys are a real

problem. You see, fungus can change shapes and turn into rods that can poke

holes in your intestines.

If you have these holes (and most overweight people do), food can pass through

the intestine undigested. This causes excess fat in the bloodstream. As we learned

33

in the last chapter, excess fat in the bloodstream coats the cells, preventing them

from using glucose, which is the cause of insulin resistance. In turn, your body

keeps producing excessive insulin to keep blood sugar down. Now you know how

good bacteria and insulin are related.

2. Good Bacteria Slows the Release of High Sugar Foods

The second important thing these good bacteria do is help your body digest

food more thoroughly. This means carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, and

potatoes) digest more slowly causing less insulin to be produced.

Now you know why good bacteria are critical to weight loss. If you have any of the

following symptoms, you can be certain a bacteria imbalance is the main cause of your

weight gain.

Gut Imbalance Symptoms

Sign 1: Digestive Issues - The first thing you’ll notice is digestive problems including

gas, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and irritable bowel disease.

Sign 2: Mental Issues – Did you know the health of your gut could be affecting the

health of your brain? It’s true! Scientists have already discovered that gut bacteria

produces neurotransmitters that keep you happy. People with depression, anxiety, brain

fog, and OCD are commonly found to have gut imbalances.

Sign 3: Skin Conditions – For many skin problems, the problem is not the skin but an

unhealthy gut. If you have acne, rosacea, psoriasis, or eczema, you most likely have a gut

imbalance.

34

But why do skinny people have this good bacteria and you don’t? Let’s find out how you

lost this important good bacteria.

Things that Destroy Good Bacteria

Everyone gets their good bacteria at birth through bacteria found in a mother’s milk.

Those who where born via C-Section or fed with formula may not have this good

bacteria.

Other factors that destroy good bacteria throughout life include:

1. Antibiotics

As opposed to probiotics (which means "for life"), antibiotics (which means

"against life") indiscriminately destroy all bacteria in the body as a way of

eliminating disease. Don't get me wrong – antibiotics can be lifesavers. When

used prudently and properly (when nothing else will work), they can be very

effective. But most people who take antibiotics never make any effort afterwards

to restore their good bacteria when the course of medication ends.

2. Prescription Drugs

Pharmaceutical drugs are toxic not only to your body, but also to your gut

bacteria as well. Avoid them at all costs – unless it’s a medical emergency.

3. Chlorinated/ Fluorinated Water

Drinking chlorinated/fluorinated water can make it almost impossible to maintain

ideal bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract because they kill all bacteria,

regardless of whether they are good or bad.

4. Amalgam Dental Fillings & Vaccines

Mercury is extremely toxic. There’s little doubt that it disrupts the normal micro-

flora in your mouth and affects the entire gut.

5. Stress

By now, we all know that stress is unhealthy. It raises blood pressure, affects the

immune system, disrupts sleep, causes headaches, and can even raise blood

cholesterol levels. I was surprised to learn, however, that human stress is also

unhealthy for our gut micro-biome.

6. Excess Meat or Dairy Consumption

Good bacteria prefer fruits and vegetables. Meat and dairy clog up your

intestines and are filled with bad bacteria.

7. Alcohol

Drinking alcoholic beverages excessively can reduce the number of healthy

bacteria in your digestive tract.

Restoring Good Bacteria

There are literally thousands of different types of good bacteria. Science has only

recently discovered how key they are to health and weight loss. It might be years before

we have a complete understanding. Of all the probiotic bacteria studied to date,

Streptococcus thermophilu shows the most promising effects on weight loss. Numerous

studies in rodents have found that it has anti-obesity effects.

Also known as S. thermophilu, the Streptococcus thermophilu strain is one you don’t

hear about often. It is, however, extremely powerful for weight maintenance and

possibly protection against harmful organisms.

35

36

A 2013 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition reported obese adults who

took L. gasseri SBT2055/LG2055 lost almost 10% of their body fat in a few short weeks,

simply by adding this strain of probiotics to their diet. [7]

Remember – this is without changing their diet and without exercising at all!

However, when the participants stopped taking the probiotic, they gained back all the

fat within a month.

So how to you get this miracle probiotic?

Let’s find out in the next chapter.

Chapter 5 Re-Balancing Your Gut

Biome

As we discussed in Chapter 4, your gut is full of microbes that in many ways, dictate

what your body does with the food you eat. You also learned that overweight

individuals lack a key bacterium, Streptococcus thermophilu that has been shown to

induce weight loss when restored via supplement.

Unfortunately, it can be tough to restore healthy gut bacteria and microbes with diet

alone, especially when you’re overweight. To get your gut back to where it needs to be

for weight loss, we are going to employ the use of a powerful supplement containing

scientifically proven ingredients.

I want to stress that these ingredients are crucial to your success on The Favorite Food

Diet. By using these ingredients as instructed, you will greatly accelerate your weight

loss and path to better health.

Restoring Healthy Microbes in the Gut

The first order of business for restoring healthy microbes in your gut is to supplement

with a probiotic that contains the specific bacterial strain we’re after – Streptococcus thermophilu.

In conjunction with that, we have found two other synergistic ingredients that act as a

pre-biotic and appetite suppressant to further enhance your gut health and reduce

sugar cravings.

41

While these ingredients have some positives on their own, their power is greatly

amplified when combined. Trust me – this stuff works, and your results will be

remarkable when you take these ingredients while following The Favorite Food Diet.

And now that we’ve had thousands of people go through the program, I can guarantee

you this stuff works. Let’s look at the individual herbs to understand its true potential.

Ingredient Properties

Streptococcus

Thermophilu

Research has shown that Streptococcus thermophilusupplementation in obese individuals results in reduction of

body weight even when they don’t reduce their total calorie

intake or even exercise.

Essentially, this is the key, anti-obesity bacterial strain found in

abundance in slim individuals who seemingly eat anything and

everything.

Bifidobacterium Bifidobacterium Lactis & Bifidum has been studied extensively

for weight loss because of one of its unique properties – It reduces levels of the pro-inflammatory substance called lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This ultimately keeps your insulin

levels down and the weight off.

Lactobacillus

Plantarum

Lactobacillus Plantarum is a strain of bacteria that helps the body out in several ways. The biggest impact is by binding to the intestinal mucosa which helps to increase the population of beneficial bacteria. This helps to prevents the fungus from

boring holes in your intestines, again reducing the amount of

fat getting into your bloodstream.

Lactis & Bifidum

These ingredients can be purchased at most natural and health food stores, online at

amazon.com or other online natural health sellers. The challenges with buying and using

these supplements are:

1. We cannot be certain they contain the listed ingredients in the way of quality and

potency

2. You may not be able to get the exact ratio of what is required to optimize the

results of your program

3. It can be very expensive to purchase all three

Because of the above and some other specific reasons (you will read below) we

recommend Probiotic T-50.

Why We Chose Probiotic T-50

When we first started sharing the Favorite Food Diet, we used to recommend third-party

supplements to help support the amazing results of the program. Unfortunately, over

time, we found we were recommending supplements with deteriorating quality. The

Manufacturers slowly started decreasing the needed ingredients (Streptococcus thermophilu, Bifidobacterium Lactis & Bifidum, Lactobacillus Plantarum) to increase

profits. When this started occurring, favorite foods customers were not seeing the

expected weight losses.

This did not sit well with us.

Our corporate mission is to bring health and wellness alternatives to the masses – a

revolutionary diet program and products that ACTUALLY work, are of the highest quality

at a price point that most consumers could afford. Naturally, we weren’t happy

continuing to recommend a substandard product to our customers.

42

So we searched far and wide and wide, until we came across Dr. Ryan Shelton MD. He has put together a miracle cocktail that will repair your gut and help your waistline. It's an amazing synergistic combination that probably everyone should be taking.

Not only does Probiotic T-50 contain all the ingredients listed above at effective

dosages, it’s also more cost effective. This is a product that we proudly and confidently

stand behind in source ingredients, quality and potency, so our customers can get

optimal results.

Probiotic T-50 is the only guaranteed way to get this specific strain of bacteria used in

the study at effective dosages. And it’s available exclusively for Favorite Foods Diet

customers.

Each bottle contains a 30 day supply that you take with water daily.

Chapter 6 The Favorite Food Diet

Now that you know the exact supplement you need to restore your gut bacteria, it’s

time to add a special diet that accelerates weight loss even further.

Using the probiotic and diet together is the

one-two punch and magic behind The

Favorite Food Diet Program. With these two

steps, you’ll have your dream body in no time.

The Favorite Food Diet is divided into two

phases.

The first phase is for rapid fat loss. You don’t need to do this part, but it’s simple and will

help you see the most drastic results.

The second phase starts after you’ve reached your ideal body weight. This is more of a

guide to keeping the weight off for rest of your life.

If you’re thinking you’ll be on a restricted diet your whole life, don’t worry. You’ll still be

able to enjoy all the foods you love. In addition, this new way of eating will improve your

health, boost your energy levels, and have you feeling happier than ever before!

Let’s get started.

46

How Have Our Diets Changed?

Many, many years ago, our great ancestors led a very different life. Although our

digestive systems haven’t evolved much since then, it is important to note that our diets

have changed tremendously. In this section, we will explore how this affects your body,

and more specifically, how it causes you to gain weight.

What Did Early Humans Eat?

Although our diet evolved over millions of years, I want to focus on three major shifts

that got us where we are today.

It’s now known that early humans ate a diet almost identical to our closest genetic

relatives – the great apes. In fact, studies have shown that 99.4% of our DNA is identical

to animals such as the Bonobo chimpanzee. They ate a diet that was primarily fruit. This

makes sense because early humans lived in tropical regions to stay warm since they

didn’t wear clothes yet, and fruit is plentiful and delicious in such areas.

What’s important to note is that their diet was almost entirely carbohydrate-based

because of the sugar in fruit. This means they ate a lot of sugar and little to no fat. Yet

none of these early humans were overweight.

Our first shift happened nearly 40,000 years ago. At this point and as populations grew,

some humans began to migrate north into colder areas. Fruit became so rare in these

locations that they were forced to expand their diet to include animal products for

survival. They ate every part of the animal (especially the fat) and used the fur to make

clothes.

It wasn’t easy to digest the meat, but this is when our early ancestors started gaining

bacteria in their intestines to digest food. They got it from eating rotting flesh that

already contained bacteria. As gross as that sounds, they would never have been able to

survive on this unnatural diet without such bacteria.

47

The significance here is they ate a lot of fat but very little sugar. Again, none of them

were overweight.

The second shift happened about 10,000 years ago. This is when humans started to eat

grains. Grains are full of carbohydrates which eventually turn into simple sugars. These

grains were stone ground and less processed, so they didn’t spike insulin as much as the

breads we eat today. Plus at this time, they had even more bacteria in their intestines.

Bacteria they got from eating unwashed grains.

The third shift happened in the early 1950s. This is when our consumption of

industrialized processed foods began, and food quality dropped rapidly. Processed

carbohydrates and high fructose syrup have very high glycemic indexes that force your

body to produce large amounts of insulin. Just look at how much more sugar we

consume each year.

48

We’ve gone from consuming five pounds of sugar a year to eating an astonishing 100

pounds of sugar a year in the blink of an eye in human history. This wouldn’t have been

much of a problem if we didn’t also increase our consumption of fat, but that’s exactly

what happened.

Just look at these statistics:

What’s important to remember is that our consumption of both fat and sugar has gone

up drastically in the last 100 years. Throughout history, there has never been another

time when we ate so much sugar and so much fat at the same time.

This is also about the time antibiotics were discovered and started being prescribed for

everything. All of these factors combined to create the epidemic of obesity we see

today.

Now that we know we are eating too much fat and too much sugar, let’s find out what

we should be eating to make The Favorite Food Diet work.

Rule 1: The Importance of Whole Foods

While you can eat any of your favorite foods on this diet, it’s best to eat as many whole

foods as possible. This is especially true of fruit and vegetables.

Taking the probiotic we recommend will get the specific bacteria in your gut, but that

bacteria needs to eat to live and survive, and their favorite foods are raw fruits and

vegetables.

The first rule of The Favorite Food Diet is that 80% of your diet must be healthy whole

foods. This means fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and meat. Remember – fruit and

veggies are their favorites, so eat a lot of those.

For the rest of your diet, eat anything you wish. Although you’ll still lose weight if you

eat junk food, I can’t say it will be good for your health.

50

First, whole foods contain many more nutrients compared to processed foods. Many of

these vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients are required in order for your body to

function properly.

Second, whole foods still have all of their fiber. Since it’s harder for your body to digest

fiber, the amount of glucose released through digestion is slower. This means less

insulin and fewer spikes in blood sugar.

Third, whole foods keep you full longer. Instead of getting hungry an hour after you eat,

you’ll feel satisfied throughout the day, and this leads to choosing healthier foods and

eating less.

This is why The Favorite Food Diet is built around whole foods.

Rule 2: Losing Weight through Fasting

The first phase of The Favorite Food Program involves fasting. That means periods of

time when you’re eating very little or nothing at all. New research suggests this is really

good for you in general, and it’s especially good for fat loss.

It works on the principles of intermittent fasting. It’s simple – eat as much as you want

but only within a 10-hour window. For example, if you had breakfast at noon, you can

have any amount of the allowed foods until 10 PM that evening, and then you can’t eat

again until noon the next day.

51

My 24 Hour 18/9 Intermittent Fasting Timeline

This is my day-to-day life as far as routine goes. I stick to this as much as possible!

When the 10-hour window starts and stops is up to you. The great part is sleeping is

included in the 14-hour fasting time. The only thing you can consume during the fasting

period is water and unsweetened tea.

Rule 3: Drink Clean Water Everyday

During this first phase, you’ll need to drink a lot of water – at least two liters per day.

Here’s why ... there are many metabolites that build from fat mobilization and have to

be eliminated from the body.

If you are adequately hydrated, these metabolites will preferentially be eliminated

through the kidneys. If you are dehydrated, the liver is going to be responsible for

moving a lot of those metabolites into the bile and stool for excretion. When losing

body fat, the liver is also the main area where mobilized fat is processed.

If the liver has to strain to eliminate metabolites, it has less capability to metabolize

stored fat into usable energy. Staying well hydrated frees the liver to process body fat so

that it can be burned as fuel.

52

That’s it. Just follow these three simple rules and take Biofi as directed, and you’ll be on

your way to the most effortless weight loss you’ve ever imagined.

Fit Forever

So ... you’ve completed the first phase of the diet. You’re in perfect shape – now what?

This part is even easier, and there is just one rule – continue taking Biofi to keep up your

good bacteria. That’s it. You can eat whatever you want. I know – it’s too good to be

true, but it is. Try it for yourself.

I’ve given you everything you need to start The Favorite Food Diet Program and change

your life forever.

Now I’m going to go over a few more ideas that will accelerate your results.

53

Chapter 8 Optional: Losing Weight

with Your Mind

In the past decade or so, hundreds of studies have been conducted that demonstrate

the powerful connection between mind and body. While Napoleon Hill figured it out

many years ago, many scientists now believe that what you think about actually shapes

your life.

For example, if you truly believe you need to starve yourself and exercise for hours, your

body will agree. Research has shown that your body changes the chemicals it makes

(including insulin, leptin, and cortisol) based on what you’re thinking about.

In landmark studies, Dr. Bruce Lipton proved that your mind can affect the cells of your

body and even your DNA. He goes on to explain how our expectations and desires can

affect our body’s ability to fight illnesses and heal itself.

So how do you use this “natural power” to heal your diabetes? Let’s find out.

Is Your Subconscious Keeping You Fat?

Each and every one of us has an image of ourselves in our subconscious mind. Your

current self-image is built and shaped by the interpretations and evaluations you place

on past experiences.

For example, let’s just say that at some point of time in your past, someone may have

mentioned that obesity runs in your family. Now regardless of whether you were at a

higher risk of being excessively overweight or not, you may have started thinking that

54

you were. You may have imagined yourself being fat. This may be something you

consciously or subconsciously remember and play out in your mind.

My point is that it doesn’t matter if the experience is real or imagined – your mind sees

it the same, and these thoughts affect your self-image. Your mind and body react to

your internal self-image, so if your self-image is one of an overweight individual, your

body will do everything it can to make that true.

In order to lose weight and keep it off, it’s imperative to change your self-image. Luckily,

there’s an easy way to do this.

21-Day Visualization Exercises

The mind is a powerful thing to waste. It can do so much for us, and very few of us

actually use its power to shape our self-image and create perfect health.

The first thing to do is get a clear image in your mind’s eye of what it would feel like to

be slim and not have to worry so much about every morsel of food you consume. This is

the ideal you.

Begin by imagining yourself completely free of stress from being overweight ... free of

rigid diets that fall short of their false promises ... free to eat all of the foods you love.

I promise you – if you give this an honest effort, you’ll be thrilled with the results, and

you’ll choose to continue using this tool for the rest of your life.

We have purposefully asked you to challenge yourself for three weeks, because research

has proven that it takes 21 days to make a substantial change of your self-image.

As I’ve said before, your current self-image was created by your imagination, so we can

use the same method to create a new self-image where you enjoy your perfectly healthy

body.

55

Remember – all you have to do is sit back, relax, and imagine yourself as you wish to be.

Here’s how ...

Grab a piece of paper, and write a brief description of the image you

intend to view in your mind’s eye. This will be the movie you play

repeatedly in your mind.

Every day, find a quiet place to relax where you won’t be disturbed. Close

your eyes, and in your mind, begin playing the movie you wrote about in

Step 1 for at least 20 minutes.

For the first seven days, refine your movie to picture your body exactly as

you desire it to be, and during the remaining 14 days, play this exact

movie in your mind over and over again.

1 STEP

TIP

Most people find they get better results if they imagine themselves

sitting in a theater and watching themselves as the star character in

a movie on the big screen.

It’s important to make your mental movie of yourself as vivid and

detailed as possible in order to simulate actual experiences. For

example, instead of just picturing your body being slim, imagine

yourself excited as friends tell you how good you look. Imagine the

opposite sex drooling over the new you.

Pay attention to small details. The more detailed you are, the more

your subconscious will believe it to be an actual experience. Make

sure to use all of your senses.

What Should I Expect on The Favorite Food Program?

The First Few Days

Many people find the first few days to be the toughest during the adjustment to eating

during just 10 hours of the day. In addition, when you introduce the good bacteria to

your gut, you may experience some slight discomforts such as gas or bloating. That’s

just a little battle going on while the good bacteria is taking over your gut territory. It

will quickly pass, and your digestion should actually improve.

During the first phase of the program, you will lose a lot of weight quickly. Some of it

will be fat, but a lot of it will be water. As your body starts cleansing itself, it uses water

to flush out the fat and other toxins. This is why it’s important to drink at least two liters

of water each day. Otherwise, you will become constipated and experience flu-like detox

symptoms.

Although everyone is different, here is what you should expect during the first two

weeks:

• You may be a little tired in the first week, but you’ll get a surge of energy by

week two as your body clears out some fat and adjusts to your new diet.

• You may lose between 5-20 pounds of weight. Some of it is water, but a lot of it

will be fat.

• You might become less hungry, and this is normal. You don’t have to eat if

you’re not hungry. It’s just a sign that your body is finally getting the nutrition it

needs.
