Yesterday, someone asked me that, ” What is the thing that makes Dr. Jack’s program so different than any other? It’s just a diet.”
Answer: Well, first, golly, whatever you do, don’t use the word, “diet,” in front of him. Yikes……. Dr. Jack isn’t a big fan of diets…. This isn’t a diet. A diet is essentially a plan to lose weight, and this isn’t that at all. That is really just an added benefit. His program IS different because he IS different and what he talks about IS different, and his approach is different and….. You get the idea.
This isn’t a diet…. His goal? Surpringly, it is not weight loss. That’s just one of the added benefits to a program that is far removed from the Weight Watcher, Atkins, Paleo, name it program…
Tonssssss of people told me that if I just dropped some weight I would feel better. That my symptoms would dissipate, that I would just feel better about myself and be able to do things I always wanted to do.
Well, as crazy as it sounds, it had to happen the other way around! Go figure! Turns out that in order to lose weight, you actually have to feel better first!! And that is the big thing that separates Dr. Jack from the crowd. Most people are shocked when I tell them that Dr. Jack isn’t about weight loss. The truth is what he is all about is HEALTH!! He kept telling me that if he and I healed my cells, healed my intestinal organs, that my weight would just go as a good side effect of that healing. And like most people, I was a bit skeptical. But, I had never heard that approach before. And I certainly was up to try an out of the box approach.
If I had only lost forty pounds and felt this great would I still be as excited about this? Absolutely!!! Who really wants to walk around every day feeling awful? I had lived that way so long, I had no idea what normal people felt like anymore. I could eat five hundred calories and gain weight. No exercise helped the situation and all it did was inflame my body more! My poor little cells couldn’t lose any weight if they had wanted to. They were so clogged up, nothing was happening that should. And because they felt yucky, so did I!!!
It turns out that when you address that problem first, all of sudden, you start losing weight! How great is that?? I had it all backwards and as does all the health professionals I talked to. You have to heal your inside and then the weight just keeps going!
I have worked hard at this. And it hasn’t always been easy, but most of the time it is. I know what to eat to feel better and how much. I just follow the guidelines and I feel good, and the scale pays an added bonus. People ask me all the time if I wouldn’t like to just eat something different than I am right now. Maybe…. Maybe one day, but today isn’t that day. If I did, Dr. Jack would be the first one in line telling me something that I can still hear him telling me. “Every day, just do your best, but if one day that doesn’t happen, no guilt.” Wow… What a freeing statement. I could if I wanted to, but I really don’t want to. I feel so much better, like thirty years has been wiped off of me.
So much about me has improved, and most especially the disease that had taken over my life. Who would want that back??
Not me….. I am so happy now! Living the active healthy life I always dreamed about. And as a great side effect, I have lost close to a hundred pounds! Like a whole human being!!
I don’t think I would have appreciated it as much years ago as I do right now. Finding him?? That has proven to be the gift of a lifetime! You want to feel better first!! And then the weight? It just goes…..what a great concept!!
