Other “bad carbs” include toxic co-workers. You know these people, ones who never have a kind word to say about anyone, especially if they are in management, and spend more time complaining about work that actually working. These are people leaning against your office door, looking to waste time and gossip when you want to hit an important deadline. These are peers who only call you when they have a problem, and take up long lunches talking only of themselves and their woes. These are unhappy, self-absorbed, tiresome people that we always wonder why we tolerate. When was last time one of your bad carb friends asked about you and actually listened to answer?

How to Lose Dead Weight—The Integrity Diet

If you can go on a low-carb diet to lose weight, why not do same with people you surround yourself with? Go on an “integrity diet” and rid yourself of bad carbs in your life. It isn’t easy to give up pizza, pasta and doughnuts. And it isn’t easy to look a longtime “friend” in eye and say you do not want them to be a part of your life any longer. But best part is, while you might miss pizza, you will never miss a “toxic” friend.

To get you started on your Integrity Diet, try following:

Make a list of important people in your lives.

Divide them into proteins, good and bad carbs.

Make an effort to strengthen your relationship with proteins—the people who inspire you, energize you and make you happy.

Enjoy good carbs in moderation.

Minimize your time with bad carbs.

Remember to pay special attention to bad carbs. Eliminating them will not be easy or pleasant, but positive results in your emotional and professional lives will appear as fast as pounds shed when you say goodbye to white bread, French fries and cupcakes.

You can eat all protein in world, but if you keep taking in bad carbs, you won’t get results you ultimately want.

And be sure to let us know how much “dead weight” you lose in next thirty days!

Therefore, our individual challenge is to choose a healthy diet after having done a thorough reading. Above all, it is necessary to understand how our bodies function and to select right foods to win battle against obesity. Junk foods are just that … junk food, without nutritional value and mostly high in calories. However, I prefer not to call it “diet,” but a healthy decision to eat healthy.

Hence, it is up to us to decide which diet will work better for us. On one hand, we feel vulnerable by insane bombardment of diet propaganda and not knowing which one to trust, while on other hand, we think we found right diet based on their propaganda, but end up disappointed. Consequently, my advice is to research different programs and see how they will benefit your weight loss goal, not other way around.

The most important thing is to eat healthy and in moderation, as well as drink a lot of water to keep our bodies hydrated, exercise at least 3 times a week, and have your nutritional supplements. Avoid excess of saturated fats, use oils containing healthy fat, such as olive oil and canola oil. Over processed food, mostly sugary products, is not a good companion to keep weight off.

Bottom line, whatever diet is working for you, stick to it. Just remember your goal is to keep weight off in long-term -- not for just a short-term. Remember you are not alone; there are many people trying to lose weight and helping each other is most valuable tool. Others have lost weight and kept weight off. I did it, so can you! Believe in yourself, you are special.

In meantime, just as my nephew Nadeem told me, “What did fast tomato tell slow tomato? KETCHUP!“ Hence, I will KETCH you UP in next article. Right now, I am going to exercise in elliptical for 35 minutes. Your commitment is also my commitment, “Official! Overweight? NO MORE!” We can do it!
