THE ADRENAL GLANDS
One of the main functions of these glands is countering stress by the production of several hormones. The adrenals don’t know the difference between physical and mental stress; they treat both with the same stress hormones. Every type of stress influences these glands 1—injury, infection, divorce, financial stress, job-related stress, irritable people, drugs and medication, surgery, pain, illness, poison ivy, extreme cold or heat, giving birth, menstrual cycle, staring into computer monitors, eating junk foods, starvation diets, and babysitting 15 small children under the age of five for …

When you are stressed, the adrenals overproduce and it becomes difficult to think clearly. You might look for comfort in food. This means you should eat certain things to support your adrenals. These are primarily fats, such as butter, cream cheese, Brie cheese with apples, chicken noodle soup, coconut butter and avocados. These foods greatly stabilize your blood sugar. The worst thing to do is skip a meal and not eat. Hunger is stress to the body. Overeating and stuffing yourself also stress the body. Eating sugar puts stress on …

Essential Rules and Examples
Avoid sugar, sweet fruits, grains and starches
Avoid sweeteners, candy, juice, and sugar in yogurt (vanilla too). The only acceptable sweeteners in very small amounts are stevia, raw honey, Tupelo honey or agave nectar—but it’s recommended to avoid these until you achieve significant weight loss.
Avoid sweet fruits—bananas, dates, figs, raisins, mangoes, canned fruits and dried fruits. You can have higher fiber fruits and berries but only one-third of the amount of vegetables you eat.
Avoid grains—breads, pasta, crackers, cereal and others. Oatmeal and brown rice are less damaging but …

You should have now completed the Detox Phase and be ready for step two—the Maintenance Plan.
One of the challenges is finding out what body type you have. Once you discover what works foods work best for you, you’ll want to maintain those foods.
All four body types need the same key basic healing foods. However, the amount of protein and fat will vary. Because different body types (Adrenal, Ovary, Thyroid and Liver) need different amounts of protein, you will add more protein based on how your body responds to the initial …

Use Aerobic and Anaerobic
If you have an Ovary body type, you need to combine BOTH aerobic and anaerobic exercise. You should do this by exercising every day with anaerobic and either every other day or even daily with aerobic.
The type of fat the Ovary body type has is a superficial cellulite. It is mostly below the bellybutton. So the best type of exercise is lower body—walking, running, treadmill, soccer, basketball, jazz dancing, step aerobics, etc. Focus on working the muscles of the hips, thighs and buttocks. Force these muscles …

Use Anaerobic Only
The fat-burning hormones are stimulated by intense exercise. Anaerobic exercise is intense. The more intense it is, the greater the triggering of fat-burning hormones.
The Benefits of Anaerobic Exercise
Even though this system uses primarily sugar as fuel during exercise (NOT fat), it can help stimulate fat burning because of the fat-burning hormone effects 14 to 48 hours later. It is delayed. But here’s the catch— this only occurs if sugar intake and overall stress are low enough and sleep quality and quantity are sufficient. Many people …

1. Keep the intensity high.
2. Do short repetitions of intense exercise, starting at 1 minute.
3. Rest a good amount after each bout of exercise. For example, if you exercise for 1 minute, spend 5 minutes resting afterwards.
4. Exercise between 25 and 40 minutes, but no longer than 45 minutes. This way cortisol will not be raised too high.
5. Exercise every other day with rest between sessions. Do not work out daily.
6. Do not do the entire body; do upper body one day and lower body the next.
7. For the Thyroid …

The first one is growth hormone. Remember that this is the antiaging, fat-burning, lean-body-mass-producing hormone, which also helps prevent the breakdown of proteins—like your bones, muscles, hair, skin and nails. It is stimulated by intense exercise (anaerobic) only. This hormone works through the liver.
The second one is glucagon. This is the opposing hormone to insulin, which gives the cells fuel between meals and is also fat burning. It too works through the liver and is stimulated only by intense exercise.
The third one is testosterone. This hormone is made by the …

Fruits
Fruits (see list on the following page) should mostly be eaten at night, with the exception of apples, which can be eaten anytime and in as much quantity as you desire. The reason for eating fruits in the later part of the day has to do with how fast they break down and turn into sugar. People who eat too many fruits for breakfast or even at lunch tend to get tired faster and don’t have as much endurance. They might also crave sweets in the evenings.
Half a cup of …

Everyone should start with the Detox phase, regardless of specific body type.
This Phase 1 eating plan will quickly get your body into fat burning. It is known that eating only protein and fat puts someone in ketosis (fat burning); however, I have found this eating plan has the same effect but without the stress on the liver that happens with high protein and fat diets. Purchase some ketone strips at the drugstore and check it out for yourself.
All six fat-burning hormones do their work through the liver. In fact, as …
