Diet...and Keep It Off

Rev up your metabolism with this eating plan.

It's the catch-22 of weight loss: The more you lose, the more your metabolism slows, and the harder it gets to keep the pounds off. Now, there's evidence that a "low-glycemic" diet, which includes healthy fats (from olive and canola oils and fatty fish, for instance) but few refined carbohydrates, may allow you to continue your weight loss and keep your metabolism ticking.

Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston tracked 39 dieters ages 18 to 40 until they had 20 pounds of weight loss apiece. The dieters followed a low-glycemic or a low-fat plan; both provided 1,500 calories a day. The low-glycemic group lost the weight a bit faster than the low-fat group, but more to the point: The low-glycemic dieters maintained a faster metabolism rate, burning about 80 more calories daily.

Besides favoring whole grains, the study's strategy minimized simple sugars by recommending fresh fruit over juice and 2% milk instead of fat free (a dab of fat slows sugar absorption), as well as snacks of nuts instead of crackers.

Shaolin Body Conditioning Tincture

Image
At the Shaolin Temple, once a disciple begins to study one of the seventy-two styles, they are given a specific Qigong and a specific recipe to make a body conditioning tincture. In the past, the monks used to lie in baths of these tinctures but today we apply this tincture to our body. After making up this tincture, the disciples then adapt it slightly and each disciple has his own recipe.   Mine is made from twenty-five natural herbs, roots and barks. Some of the herbs help the blood to flow, some help to strengthen the bones, others help the muscles to relax. This medicine can also be used for injuries, bruising, and some people say that it can be effective for repetitive strain injury though I have no experience of this so I don’t know if this is true. My own experience is in body conditioning. I used it when I was learning Shaolin Steel Jacket and I could never have endured this hard training without the aid of this special medicine. The first thing we do when we do body condit
