Setting Your Weight: Part One

Updated: Mar 15

WEIGHT OPTIMIZATION COURSE


SETTING YOUR WEIGHT 101

“Doc, I read your courses religiously. I often read about 'setting our weight.' What does that mean exactly, and how do you do that?"


"After forty-five years of health optimization practice, I can tell you that it is easier to take the weight off than to keep it off?"


BOTTOM WEIGHT


You've read in these courses that if you stay with the Meso-Menu, you will find your healthy, happy, ideal, bottom weight.


  • Healthy Weight - you live as long as your waist is small

  • Happy Weight - the weight you feel good about yourself

  • Ideal Weight - we function better at the weight we should weigh.

  • Bottom Weight - the Meso-Menu will find your bottom weight.


I have coached tens of thousands of patients and clients. If they follow the Meso-Menu, a menu that bottoms out their insulin and keeps it bottomed out, they will find their "Bottom Weight."


How do we know that you have reached your Bottom Weight?


If you do at least two of the Stall-Buster Menus and your weight doesn't budge, you've most likely reached your bottom weight.


STALL-BUSTER MENUS


  • Protein Day (This is where you eat animal protein only for a day)

  • Apple Day (This is where you eat apples only for a day)

  • Veggie Day (This is where you eat Meso-Veggies only for a day)

  • OMAD (This is where you eat only One Meso-Meal in A Day)


Many of my clients will do all four.


"In nearly every case, your 'Bottom Weight' will be within the normal BMI."


BMI


BMI is the acronym for Body Mass Index. It is a calculated value that estimates ideal weights based on a person's height.


"I used to believe that the BMI should have used the acronym BS."


But now that thousands of my patients and clients have achieved their bottom, healthy, happy, ideal weight, it is almost always within their normal BMI.


The BMI categorizes people as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.


Research has found the higher your BMI, the less likely you will live to your genetic life and health span.


BMI doesn't directly measure body fat and is not the only factor to consider when assessing a person's health.


"Your waist measurement is the most crucial determinant of health and life span."


However, nearly every client I have had is fixated on weight, and very few women or men use their waist measurement as a tool.


The following chart gives us an idea of the weight we should be under to achieve our genetic life and health span. These guidelines are based on the National Institutes of Health and research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

These guidelines are consistent with my health optimization experience over the last forty-five years.


Your goal should be to eat the Meso-Menu until you have gone below the weight for the height I have placed above.


THE ROOM


Once we discover our happy, ideal, bottom, healthy weight, we choose a range to maintain our weight.


For example, you are five feet four inches tall and weigh 142 pounds upon finding your bottom weight with the Meso-Menu. At 142, you have tried a few of the Stall Buster Menus but have yet to lower your weight below 142.


Therefore, 142 is your Bottom Weight. I will now assign you a room based on your history. For example, if you consistently followed the Meso-Menu and lost weight, I would assign you the 142 to 144 room.


"The key to setting your weight is to stay in your room."


"For how long, Doc?"


For the rest of your life,


Weight rooms may shift as we age. After age 65, it's normal to lose 0.2 to 0.4 pounds of body weight every year.


Since the maximum weight for someone 5'4" tall is 144, the 142 to 144 room is appropriate.


Most women drop below this maximum weight by 5 to 10 pounds. On the other hand, most men fall just under the wire.


Yes, it is bothersome that BMI is the same for men and women, but it is actually more accurate than it first appears. A woman's bottom weight is usually in the lower part of normal, and a man's bottom is in the upper portion of normal BMI.


I will explain how to set your weight in a room in the next course, Setting Your Weight 102.


HAVE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TAKE THE HOPE PROTOCOL FOR A FREE RIDE


My current roster is nearly always full, and I only accept referrals.


I offer two of my readers a free week of coaching each week so that if you cannot become a client, you will know how it is done.


This free coaching program will not involve sales; it's about results. If you do well, you may receive an invitation to enroll if an opening is available.


I am retired. This is not my job. It is my God-given purpose, and I continue to practice virtually because I love seeing people become the people they wish to be.


If you or someone you know has failed at losing weight, have him or her take this protocol for a free test drive.
