Is the BFC Healthy or not??

Hello Everyone,

OK so my sister, the nurse, has been Bashing the Belly Fat Cure ever since I started it way over 2 years ago. She is always saying that I don't eat healthy and I don't eat enough carbs and that is why I am so tired all the time. She thinks I am focused on being SKINNY more than healthy.

I have no idea where she gets that from except for the fact that she is a nurse and she thinks she knows everything. Even though I have managed to lose 90lbs successfully and keep it off - she still says that stuff to me all the time.

She says I don't eat enough sugar or carbs and that it is not a healthy way of eating. Do you all remember last year when I had my blood work done?? Everything came out great.

She sent me this link to an article reviewing the BFC: http://www.eatright.org/Media/content.aspx?id=10460
I read it and I understand her concerns and do see some of the points that it is talking about.

Here is another review I found: http://www.fitsugar.com/Explanation-Review-Belly-Fat-Cure-Jorge-Cruise-9027078

• Lose 4-9lbs a week: This will never happen except for maybe the first 2 weeks. Besides it's much healthier to lose it slowly like I did.
• You don't have to exercise: I think you need some form of exercise - even if its just walking fast like I do every day. If you don't - you will wind up real loose and giggly.
• Eating lots of meats: I tend to eat healthier meats like more chicken, turkey, and fish. I might order beef when I am out as a treat.
• Eating lots of cheese and eggs: I do eat eggs and cheese almost every day, but try to not over do it. I try to balance out what I eat. Don't eat a ton of any 1 thing.
• You don't have to calorie count: I don't really count my calories, but I do look at and watch them in what I eat. I look at the labels for the S/C values when buying stuff and also the calories. I try to choose the one with the least amount of Sugar, carbs, and calories.
• No more fruit: I thought I would miss fruits, but I do eat blackberries, blueberries and raspberries just about every morning with my breakfast and don't miss the rest.
• The Menus in his books: I NEVER followed any of his menus in the books. I used the info in his book to understand the concept of the BFC, and always did my own thing. I made sure to never go over 5/2 per meal and never ate grain carbs w/my dinner, and tried to always be done w/my dinner by 7pm.
• Portion sizes: I never understood Jorge's idea of portion - it should fit into the palm of your hand he says. I ate what I thought was appropriate - but not like I did before, but as you go along - your appetite will decrease and you won't want to eat as much as you used to.
• No artificial sweeteners: Many different studies have proven that this is correct. No artificial sweeteners any more of any kind like aspartame and sucralose. That means no more diet sodas, or equal or splenda products.

I have said this many times before, Don't be a lemming. Don't do something just because someone else that is famous or anyone for that matter says to do without investigating and checking it out yourself first.

Do your own homework. Don't ask other people for the answers - find it yourself just so you can be really sure that something is healthy and right for you.

I don't drink 2 glasses of wine a day like Jorge says its OK to. As someone who lost 90lbs - I can tell you that won't happen if you drink 2 glasses of wine every day!! Save it for once in a while special occasions or if you go out to eat. Any Alcohol is fattening and will effect your weight loss.

I take many vitamins everyday and there is a list on (Fav Products page), so that if there is something I am lacking in my food  - I get it that way. Reslina is a great supplement! I also put Benefiber in my morning coffee and take 2 pro-biotics daily to help with the fiber thing. 

I am VERY HEALTHY and feel great!!

This has to be something that you see yourself doing permanently. For the Rest of Your Life!!Keep in mind -  Once you lose  the weight, you can NEVER go back to the way you ate before or you will just gain it all back.

OK that's my class for today. I hope this helps for all you new people starting the Belly Fat Cure.

Remember this is only my view and opinion so if you don't agree, share below in the comment section and let us all know what and why..

Thanks for listening to me today - Lots of love to you all.

This is PurpleRosy signing off...

My thought for the day:

All Things Change

When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
