Weight Loss Program
Why Men & Women Gain and Lose Weight Uniquely
No doubt that as we age, both men and women, will notice that we can’t just eat what we want and maintain our optimal weight. There is a big difference between the metabolism of a child and that of an adult, and there is a difference between the metabolism of a man and a woman.
Men naturally crave different foods than women. They lean towards meat as a focus and crave the vegetables that contain most of the nutrients that we are deficient in like brussel sprouts, asparagus and peas as well as nuts. Women on the other hand crave their chocolate, refined carbohydrates like pasta and bread, more fruit than vegetables as well as yogurt. These foods tend to put on more fat as the calories from them are stored and not used as efficiently for energy.
Lastly, notice the difference between men and women at the gym. Men gravitate towards more resistance training including weight training. Although women have started using resistance training, the main attraction is the aerobic workout. As we age, we need less of this and more resistance training to maintain optimal body composition. Rule of thumb, make sure that you can talk throughout your workouts, that you don’t allow your heart rate to increase to around 140 for over 5 minutes and then bring it down to about 90 for a minute. Do this repetition of heart rate acceleration and deceleration, and your metabolism will be strong and efficient.
Dr. Ramsey designed a weight loss program that includes weekly injections of B6 and B12, weekly food plans with menus and shopping lists. You start off with a non-invasive test that measures cellular health and as a result of the test you are prescribed specific nutrients to assist your metabolism. You receive a copy of Dr. Ramsey’s Health Journal and meet with Dr. Hinojosa monthly to assess progress and adjust your program as need be. This comprehensive program is a two month program that you can repeat over and over as there is a great deal of variety in the foods that you will be preparing at home. Dr. Ramsey offered this program to participants of her Health Challenge with success in every participant. Participants enjoyed learning new recipes, learning about new ingredients, having their meals prepared ahead of time and sharing the event with family and friends. If you are considering joining the program, encourage a friend or family member to share in the shopping and cooking. It’s not only good for your cells and overall health, it is so nourishing to your soul. Below, you can find detailed information about Dr. Ramsey’s Weight Loss Program.
