An old man, trav­el­ing a lone high­way, came at the evening to a chasm deep and wide.  The old man crossed in the twi­light dim, for the sullen stream held no fears for him, but he turned when he reached the other side, and built a bridge to span the tide. Old man,” cried a fel­low near, “You are wast­ing your strength with build­ing here, you never will pass this way again.” The old man replied, There fol­lows after me today many peo­ple whose feet will pass this way.“This stream, which has been as naught to me, to those peo­ple may a pit­fall be; they, too, must cross in the twi­light dim, Good friend, I am build­ing this bridge for them.“

Wel­come to Com­mon Sense Eat­ing & Exercise

The Com­mon Sense Eat­ing Plan is not about restriction, it is about lifestyle and choices.  We are all on a diet, be it healthy or unhealthy.  What we seek to gain through our diet is a healthy lifes­pan through which we can accom­plish our goals and dreams by hav­ing a healthy body with bound­less energy.  Through achiev­ing the goal of a healthy body, we affect the bio­chem­istry of our brain, which allows us to use our energy and body with focus, be it for fun or work with­out imped­i­ment. What is new, is devel­op­ing a basic work­ing under­stand­ing of your DNA.  This is about to become as com­mon as under­stand­ing calo­ries.  In 2003 the Gov­er­ment com­pleted the Human Genome Project.  This accom­plish­ment set the stage for under­stand­ing that our Genes are dynamic and that you can change your body based on your lifestyle.  It also means that our eat­ing habits for a long healthy life can­not be the same because every indi­vid­ual is a prod­uct of  “Genetic Vari­a­tion”.   What we need are prin­ci­ples to fol­low because there is no one size fits all approach.

To start this process we will prob­a­bly want to know how to lose weight fast.  The infor­ma­tion con­tained on this site will with­out ques­tion allow you to lose up to 30 pounds in 45 days  in a way that is com­pletely healthy.  Accom­plish­ing rapid weight loss is really much eas­ier then you would expect and you can get started right away (no sales pitch here, just a solid free weight loss plan to get you started).

 Before I dis­cov­ered these four basic Uni­ver­sal truths 7 years ago I was a 5’10” 200lb mid­dle aged pro­fes­sional with a pot belly.  My doc­tor after see­ing my labs said “you need to lose weight fast and you know you do”, oth­er­wise I will be treat­ing you for prob­lems that sim­ply liv­ing a healthy lifestyle will resolve.  I real­ized right at that moment that my life had reached a cross­road, and if I wanted a long healthy life, this was the time for action. So I began research on every­thing out there, friends, books, infomer­cials and real­ized that get­ting fat wasn’t com­pli­cated, and a build­ing comes down faster then it goes up, but I wanted a per­ma­nent fix with­out the yo-yo effect and began to use my prob­lem solv­ing skills.  I knew just through the expe­ri­ence of liv­ing and watch­ing oth­ers, that some­thing was truly miss­ing in our approach to health­care and obe­sity.  Eat­ing right and being healthy just shouldn’t be that hard. I was deter­mined to find the secret to live a long healthy life.  Believe me when I tell you, I found it!!!

The result of my find­ings were;

1. The Key to under­stand­ing weight and human longevity is in preser­va­tion and nutri­tion of the DNA. Free Rad­i­cals are the cul­prit and they must be neu­tral­ized.  Diet plans are tem­po­rary unnat­ural fixes to the symp­tom of obe­sity that are unsus­tain­able and are not focused on human longevity. They are more related to the mate­r­ial goals of Med­ical pro­fes­sion­als and Corporations
2. Edu­ca­tion in foods, sup­ple­ments and how the body works  are key to stop­ping the prob­lem from grow­ing larger and begin­ning to reverse the effects of aging of which obe­sity is just a symptom
3. An imme­di­ate draft­ing of sim­ple prin­ci­ples that are nat­ural and easy to live by focus­ing on anti aging needed to be drawn up and imple­mented with the under­stand­ing that it is the DNA we are focused on and not just the symp­toms that arise from not pro­vid­ing it with the nutri­ents it needs

The result was the loss of 40lbs in 45 days. It didn’t come off one pound a day.  I just stuck to the plan and by the sec­ond to third week, the fat was melt­ing off of me and accel­er­at­ing.  My weight loss became so rapid that at 169lbs, I slowed down exer­cis­ing and still lost another 7 lbs.  My friends could not believe it because I was eat­ing.  What they didn’t notice is that I was eat­ing slightly dif­fer­ently.  After explain­ing to friends how I did this, they sug­gested I write a book.  I told them no book holds the answers to every indi­vid­ual body type.  Everyone’s metab­o­lism is dif­fer­ent. Every­one is dif­fer­ent because their bod­ies Blue­print is dif­fer­ent.  This is why some peo­ple can eat more then oth­ers and like dif­fer­ent foods.  There aren’t any groups, we are all unique. All peo­ple share 99.1% of the same DNA code, it is the .9% that makes every­one unique.  This may not sound like much, but chim­panzes, our clos­est DNA rel­a­tive share 98% of our DNA code.  This is why Doc­tors are always ask­ing about your fam­ily his­tory.  They don’t have the answers to cure you, they can only treat the symp­toms from years of med­ical trial and error and allow the body’s DNA code to cure itself.  What peo­ple need to under­stand are a few basic prin­ci­ples that will enable them to main­tain a nat­ural healthy lifestyle that makes sense and lose weight fast.  There is no sus­tain­able magic bul­let.  It is all about a lifestyle that pro­tects and enhances your per­sonal DNA.

I sug­gest you start with under­stand­ing the 4 key prin­ci­ples of this blog and then armed with this basic knowl­edge, take your body as far as you want to go with it.  But you need to get to a start­ing point as the body repli­cates itself every two years and then you will have a base­line to under­stand how your indi­vid­ual body works.  No place else are you going to get this infor­ma­tion for free.  If you fol­low the advice on this blog , you will most likely expe­ri­ence a level of health and appear­ance unlike any other time in your life. 

I now fluc­tu­ate between 172 and 175 of rock hard mus­cle (It is much eas­ier to lose the fat and then begin to build healthy chis­eled mus­cle). I like to keep my BMI between 24 and 25.  I am as a result also blessed with a healthy glow and appear to be in my late  20’ to mid 30’ despite being 50.  A healthy glow comes from pul­sat­ing DNA.  As you waun­der through this blog, I am going to show you the won­der of sup­ple­ments and why they are needed.  I am con­stantly research­ing the wis­dom of those all over the World to bring you infor­ma­tion that is life chang­ing.   My Doc­tor laughs some­times when look­ing at my labs in dis­be­lief. Healthy Longevity is a jour­ney,  I am thank­ful to you for allow­ing me to show you the fork in the road that if taken will change your life forever.  Learn from the spon­sors as you travel this site.

 The media says 50 is the new 40, I’m not so sure about that. 
I think with the knowl­edge of today,
mid­dle age is a mov­ing tar­get. 

Keep your eye on Resver­a­trol, it  is an incred­i­ble supplement.
