7lbs in 7 Days Super Juice Diet. Jason Vale

СКАЧАТЬ amazing plan. I have gone on to your next stages and have lost almost 28 lbs (13 kg) in 8 weeks. People are absolutely bowled over when I tell them and they can’t get enough information about how it all works. Two of my colleagues have already bought the book and lost 7 lbs (3 kg) and 10 lbs (4.5 kg) respectively. Sincere thanks, a verrrrry happy C.”

      “C.” was 199 lbs (90 kg) in weight to start and within eight weeks of reading the book he was 28 lbs (13 kg) lighter. How on earth is that either dangerous or the sign of a man who is feeling miserable and can’t wait to eat crap again, given that he signed off “thanks, a verrrrry happy” camper?

      Here’s another piece of correspondence that I hope doctors and dieticians read. It illustrates the power of rapid weight loss on one’s mind:

       “This program is a lifesaver … there’s simply no other way to describe it. I’m hooked and believe me, if I can do it, anyone can do it. The truth is when you get quick results, your motivation is skyrocketed and you can see a light at the end of what was once a very dark tunnel. I’ve lost as much weight in the first four days as I did in four weeks on my last ‘diet,’ where I felt deprived, discouraged, and frankly defeated. Thank you, thank you, thank you! D.”

      These are just two of thousands of examples of people who have either shed loads of weight and kept it off, or who have seen impressive results quickly that have inspired them to continue. I have known people to lose over 100 lbs (45 kg) in weight after reading my book. As mentioned, Lord Harris of Peckham, no less, lost 42 lbs (19 kg) in just three months and dropped 117 points from his cholesterol after reading the book. Quick, healthy weight loss, along with the right frame of mind, inspires people to long-term good health and weight loss—IT IS NOT DANGEROUS!

      What is dangerous is not taking action, not changing your lifestyle, not changing your diet. What is dangerous, I feel, are the countless dieticians and doctors who constantly tell people it’s not healthy to lose more than 2 lbs (1 kg) a week because it’s apparently been scientifically backed up. I say “apparently” because it’s nonsense—there is in fact no scientific evidence whatsoever to back this up. It’s a notion no more and no less, based on thin air. Even it were “scientifically” backed up—which, in case you missed it, it isn’t—that alone hardly makes it fact. Let’s not forget it was also scientifically backed up that smoking helped relax you! Science isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. If you weigh 200 lbs (90 kg) and you lose 2 lbs (1 kg) in a week, you don’t feel good. You don’t feel inspired to continue. You don’t feel fired up. More often than not, you will fail at your diet. It’s madness that when I’m on the shopping channel they’re not even allowed to show the front cover of this book in the UK and no doubt the same will apply in the US. Why not? Because dieticians and their kind have somehow convinced the watchdogs that losing 7 lbs in 7 days is dangerous. They have managed to do this while we have the most serious obesity crisis in history. The world has officially gone bonkers.

      What is also very dangerous, in my opinion, are the people in charge of advising us on health describing a program such as this as dangerous while handing out antiobesity drugs at the same time. These drugs, let’s not forget, often hit the front pages of newspapers due to the often horrific side effects. The day I read a front-page headline reporting new research that shows fruits and vegetables to be bad for us is the day I pack all this in and start agreeing with the “if they’re ill give ‘em a pill” culture. Until that day, I’ll follow Hippocrates’ advice:

       “Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational.”

      This then is perhaps the biggest irony: some doctors say that it is dangerous to have a “quick fix” attitude to weight loss and health, while that is precisely what they try to achieve with the drugs they hand out so liberally. After all, instant gratification is precisely what the medical drug culture is built on. For years most of the medical profession has handed out antibiotics like M&Ms for ailments such as flu—a virus against which antibiotics do nothing. Let’s not forget that since “obesity” has been classified as a disease in its own right, the fight by drug companies to get their all-singing, all-dancing antifat pills on the market has been fierce.

      Big people are Big Business to the pharmaceutical industry, and it seems they will do anything to sell their wares to their customers. And their customers are not so much the obese patients themselves, but the thousands of doctors whom they have to persuade to prescribe their new wonder drug. Even if some dreadful side effect rears its ugly head during the development stages, it appears it is often explained away as “incidental to the greater good of the drug.” It is only when people start getting problems like anal leakage—as was the case with the antifat drug Xenical—that questions are asked. It appears that antifat drugs that have been known to have even worse side effects than Xenical are OK when it’s the greater good that’s in question, but a program such as the one in this book gets hammered by the medical industry. And this is a program that relies purely on nature’s healing principles; one that does nothing to tax the liver and one that has no adverse side effects.

      I’m certainly not saying that medical drug intervention isn’t absolutely necessary at times, or that it never does any good, as clearly it does and many lives are saved as a result. I know this firsthand as I was badly asthmatic and needed my asthma pump up to sixteen times a day—trust me, that little blue inhaler was my lifesaver. However, why do they appear never to suggest that we should, as Hippocrates famously said, “Let food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be food”? Why isn’t diet always the first thing to be suggested when it comes to any illness? When I changed my diet and started juicing, the first thing to change was my asthma. I went from being unable to survive without my Ventolin inhaler to not needing it at all. I haven’t had asthma since. Was this a coincidence? I don’t think so.

      I also lost weight, my energy levels increased, my nails got stronger, my eyes got brighter, and my severe psoriasis, which covered my body from head to foot, started to improve massively. These incredible health changes occurred with no pills, potions, drugs, or medical lotions. They occurred naturally, a concept, which is often lost on some parts of the medical and dietetic profession. Luckily, it is not lost on all in the medical profession and luckily things are changing. More and more are understanding that nature’s finest nutrient-packed liquid fuel contains something often way beyond any human or scientific understanding. More and more people in the medical profession are no longer relying on the “evidence” produced by the pharmaceutical reps that bombard them with the latest drug that can cure obesity along with just about every common ailment. They are using common sense and starting to believe in the power of plant based foods and the body’s ability to naturally heal itself. Here is an e-mail that has just come in from a GP (also known as a family doctor) in the UK:

       “Hi Jason, I just wanted to comment on the GP side of things. I’m a GP, for my sins, and have been following your programs for the last 2 months, prompted by a serious illness in January that left me unable to eat anything except juices and smoothies. I’ve lost over 28 lbs (13 kg) in that time and am now telling patients about it. It’s working for me whereas in the past other diets (rather than changes in lifestyle, as this is) have not … I think this is something that is realistic and that people can do. I’ve never eaten as many fruits and vegetables in my life, and am enjoying it and also am full on it. My type 1 diabetes control is improving … On a professional note, people far prefer to take a tablet (which is easy) than do something hard like totally change their lifestyle. I will continue to advocate you to patients and colleagues—I know I’m only one G.P. among thousands but every little helps I guess. Kate”
