The 6 word Diet
Why the 6 word Diet Works so Well
1. You eat almost constantly: twelve meals per day or more.
2. Eating almost constantly tricks your body into thinking it is on an endless
feast.
3. Because your body thinks there is a feast and believes that it has no need
to hang on for dear life to every calorie, it begins to "waste" calories,
without using them efficiently or converting them to fat.
4. This "feast-effect" process tends to superheat your metabolism and you
continue to burn calories and fat at the new, accelerated rate. (One
proof of this metabolic change will be an overwhelming increase in
your personal energy, beginning on the very first day of the diet.)
5. Even though you are constantly eating, you are actually taking in a
smaller number of calories per day. This causes your body to
compensate by burning up stored body fat.
6. The combination of an accelerated metabolism and reduced caloric intake
results in rapid, dramatic weight loss.
The 6 word Diet - INTRODUCTION:
Skinnier and healthier by the minute
Before we begin, please take a second to read these words out loud:
"Skinnier and healthier by the minute."
Now read them just one more time, with gusto.
"Skinnier and healthier by the minute!"
Do you realize it's YOU we're talking about? And THAT is what YOU will be
getting on the 6 word Diet: skinnier and healthier by the minute, while the
rest of the world rolls around in its flubber, waiting for the experts to battle
out the Great Unanswered Dietary Questions: "Which is the greatest
evil--too much fat, or too many carbs? Or is it all about meat, or starch,
sugar or soy, or perhaps herbal tea and exercise?”
In the hammock
Just tell them to call you when they figure it out. If they ever do.
Meanwhile, you'll be swinging in the hammock, sipping lemonade,
chowing down popcorn and thinking ahead to your next treat (never more
than 89 minutes away)!
"Hmmm, should I have the vanilla yogurt with whipped topping and
black raspberries, or the hot turkey and tomato sandwich?"
You--yes, YOU--the person who's tried everything, the person who
wants so much to get the whole weight thing under control once and for all,
but dreads the prospect of giving up the truly irresistible joys of delicious
food--YOU will be getting skinnier and healthier by the minute.
And you'll be doing it simply, simply, simply.
And did we mention "happily?"
Simple, simple, simple
It's hard to imagine any eating plan simpler than one that can be fully
described in just six words.
We really don't believe it can get any simpler. After all, everyone has
tried the One-Word Diet:
STARVE.
That didn't work.
And the Two-Word Diet:
QUIT EATIN'.
That didn't work.
And the Three-Word Diet:
GIVE UP SWEETS.
That failed.
And the Four-Word Diet:
EAT ONLY COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES.
Nope. Gained weight on that one.
And the Five-Word Diet:
EAT ONLY PROTEIN AND FAT.
That one worked for a while, but we gained it all back and then some,
not to mention what we might have done to our arteries but are afraid to
find out.
The 6 word Diet (6WD) cuts through all the nonsense. The 6WD is a
gimmick-free plan, based on the most well-proven dietary fact in the world:
You lose weight when the calories you burn exceed the calories your body
has available to burn.
It's nice to know that in a world of diet experts whose advice reverses
direction more often than a pendulum, you can turn your back on untested
promises, snake-oil cures, crazy claims, and even deadly concoctions, and
just plug into simple, old-fashioned, homegrown scientific fact.
You CAN lose flubber without losing your health.
Better health through flubber-busting
Major rule: NEVER put your health at risk in order to lose weight. It
seems obvious. Yet some people are willing to play games with questionable
fad diets, even though research shows that--for most of us, anyway--the fat
returns as soon as we tire of the fad. After all, how many years could you
stay healthy eating just grapefruit?
Which brings us to another rule that's equally important: NEVER forget
that you ARE putting your health at risk by NOT losing your excess weight.
Whether you're just a few pounds overweight, or a hundred pounds,
recent studies have convincingly shown that excess weight can have a
definite, detrimental effect on health—from diabetes to heart disease to
cancer.
Of course you've heard these reports. And you always say to yourself,
"I know what I need to do. To maintain my health and add years to my life, I
really must ditch these extra pounds."
So then you think, "Oh, easy solution. I'll diet. I'll get rid of the fat.
That's it! I'll pick a diet and start today!” If only it were that simple.
Calorie Restriction=Increased Longevity
It’s scientifically proven. Calorie restriction slows the aging process.

The Fad Diet Swamp
But here are so many diets on the market today that making your way
through them, and their magical claims, can be as discouraging as slogging
through a swamp.
Many fad diets are based on unproven theories, and they are
introduced as the latest, greatest, miracle way to lose weight. But often
(sometimes almost overnight) these diets are found to be full of potential
medical hazards. That's the trouble with relying on weight loss gimmicks
that haven't been thoroughly tested.
Expert Opinions: Reversed,Reversed,Reversed!
Not only are we faced with fad diet swamps, but we don't even know
any more whose advice we can trust to lead us to solid ground! We have
witnessed enough reversals of expert opinions on the subject of weight loss
to make us wonder if we can ever again safely rely on any expert or medical
report.
For example, we spent 20 years being told that a low-fat, carb-rich
diet was the ultimate golden cure, only to find out that heart disease in our
culture began a suspicious increase at about the same time we began
downing carbs by the plateful.
Then Dr. Atkins came along and we all hoped that unlimited meats and
fats would set us free. But to this day, the experts can't agree about
whether a high fat/high protein diet should thrill us or kill us, and the debate
shows no sign of abating.
6 word Diet to the rescue

The more he [lost], the more he had."

The 6 word Diet
DEFINITIONS
6WD
Shorthand for 6 word Diet
Calorie
A unit of heat (technically the amount of heat needed to
raise one gram of water one degree). All food has calories.
A food's calorie count tells you how much energy that food
will make available to you after you eat it. A low number of
calories yield low amounts of energy; a high number of
calories yields high amounts of energy. Calories eaten but
not burned up by activity are stored by the body in the
form of FAT.
Carbohydrate
An element of some foods, especially sugars and starches
found in flour, corn, potatoes, and rice. Carbohydrates are
a quick energy source.
Complex carbohydrate
Foods in the starch group that have not been overly
processed, and which contain much of their original fiber.
Examples: beans, whole grains, cereals, vegetables,
legumes and fruits.
Fat
A soft or semisolid substance made from fatty acids and
found in the bodies of animals, animal products, and in
plants, nuts and seeds. All edible oils are composed
entirely of fat.
Fiber
Dietary fiber is a textured or stringy material found in
plants. It is present abundantly in the outside layers of
grains and in fruits, legumes, and other vegetables.
Flubber
Our mildly amusing term for body fat that a person wants
to get rid of.
High-protein diet
A diet in which the majority of daily food selection comes
from fats and proteins. A high-protein diet usually
minimizes carbohydrate consumption.
Low-fat diet
A diet in which the majority of daily food selections comes
from sources that contain little or no fat. Low-fat diets
center on high carbohydrate consumption.
Metabolism
The process that takes place inside your body when the
food you eat is broken down into energy; the "burning" of
calories.
Plateau
A (frustrating) period of at least 7 days in which you have
had no weight loss, nor have you lost inches, even though
you've stuck to your diet faithfully.
Protein
A compound that is found in all living things, made of
amino acids. For dietary purposes, protein is found most
abundantly in meat, cheese, fish, nuts, seeds and eggs.
