progress of Sydney DJ Gus Worland and his challenges in maintaining his ideal weight.\r\n\r\nIf you feel you are equally challenged holding your ideal weight for life then read on….\r\n\r\nIf you’ve maintained somewhere close to your best weight then delete this post and get back to work.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSydney DJ Gus Worland stores weight, or more correctly, body fat more easily than most. Well, he stores fat as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus, are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact, most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically he struggles (<em>more</em>) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which is linked to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach towards good health, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race. Yours truly completed the other two disciplines. While it wasn’t pretty, as you’ll see (and larf) he made it! Good one Gussy!\r\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/GjiOiWUGN84\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGussy and I started working together just over 3 years ago with Gus at the time being the poster boy for pre-diabetes, non-alcoholic liver disease, hypertension, and premature cardio-vascular disease. And, while now he now struts his stuff around 105-108.4kgs down from 150kgs (he is 6’3”), perhaps more importantly, his Doctor assures him he is no longer at risk of (largely) unnecessary metabolic illness as listed above. Go Gussy!\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>He now knows and concedes he will never be rock hard lean and will likely never parade washer board abs. While the media (and distorted advertising) has big’ger blokes believing this, he now knows apples are apples and oranges are oranges.</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>At 47 years his long term (health &amp; wellness) goals are now clear and simple;</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>1) Avoid falling ill courtesy of poor and easily avoidable lifestyle choices.</strong></span>\r\n• He knows consuming fake food loaded with additives will likely make him fatter and sicker.\r\n• He knows if he doesn’t move around regularly it will likely make him fatter and sicker.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">2) Avoid lugging around a small child of weight around your waist.</span><a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9176.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3182 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9176-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9176\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a></strong>\r\n• While he’ll most probably always carry a little more body fat than most, he now knows and accepts this is OK – <em><span style=\"color: #008080;\">he knows HE can still carry a few extra kegs and be super healthy and happy.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>3) Balance the marbles between his ears.</strong></span>\r\n• He now knows by practicing both, 1) consuming ‘the right’ foods for him, and 2)  enjoying moving regularly, his perception of lifestyle sh#t (stress) offers far less negative reactions. He also now believes in short (brain rebooting) time outs and practicing good sleeping habits.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>His approach is also clear and simple;</strong></span>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">1) Firstly, he’s given up on focusing on avoiding \'bad foods\'. The ‘evil’ and largely obvious pin up list is long gone. Now, he rather focuses solely on foods that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MUST</span> be consumed.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\n• He’s known for years that additive riddled foods, usually mass produced foods, causes his body harm – and more harm than it does to others. Yet. he’s always still found these options attractive - damn it. In fact, in moments of heightened emotion, he’s found these destructive foods simply irresistible. It’s as if his brain (along with 35% of the population) is hard wired this way.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>2) So, he focusses primarily on the foods that MUST feature in his diet – everyday.</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere seems to be a clear positive link between selected real foods and people naturally more sensitive to insulin. Selected ‘or appropriate’ foods, like an array of real earthy fats (both animal &amp; veg), in essence, has taken care of his life-long brain war. Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as if real fats subliminally sent messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need any more food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around.  In fact you feel like exercising.  He holds this mind set even while being continually bombarded with immoral and suggestive food advertising. These \'bad\' foods are now – subliminally – unattractive. Giddy Up!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>3) Enter community events – always, and I mean always having something in the pipeline.</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\nHe (not me) searches the internet looking for challenging but lifestyle friendly options. He enters, parts with coin, tells me and as many people as possible (he loves that twitter thing), then starts preparing physically for that event. His dietary interests tend to naturally fall into line once he\'s dialed into an event. He knows it’s likely he’ll finish near the back of the field – but he doesn’t care. It’s all simple about getting out there and having a crack. He now knows he’ll be offered a stack of friendly support from other entrants, and, he’ll also receive uplifting support from spectators. Above all he simply loves the fact he is now on the field and not in the stands – which is how life was meant to be.\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>He hopes other big’ger’ units will take motivation from his efforts and join him in the next race – at the back of the field.</em></strong></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</blockquote>\r\nGus now seems happy and content with his ‘new’ uncomplicated approach.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9180.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3180 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9180-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9180\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>\r\n\r\nGus’ results have proved to me his approach could well be the best approach for those with similar metabolic and behavioural challenges to him.\r\n\r\nIf you’re keen to yak with Gus and receive first-hand support and direction, please let me know.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBP','PAMPY\'S POST 11.16 - THE RULES SEEM TO BE DIFFERENT FOR GUSSY AND NATURALLY BIG’GER BOYS.','','publish','closed','closed','','pampys-post-10-16-the-rules-seem-to-be-different-for-gussy-and-naturally-bigger-boys','','','2016-06-17 06:26:04','2016-06-17 06:26:04','',0,'http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/?p=3179',0,'post','',0),(3180,2,'2016-06-16 23:56:43','2016-06-16 23:56:43','','IMG_9180','','inherit','closed','closed','','img_9180','','','2016-06-16 23:56:43','2016-06-16 23:56:43','',3179,'http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9180.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3181,2,'2016-06-16 23:56:52','2016-06-16 23:56:52','','IMG_9179','','inherit','closed','closed','','img_9179','','','2016-06-16 23:56:52','2016-06-16 23:56:52','',3179,'http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3182,2,'2016-06-16 23:56:57','2016-06-16 23:56:57','','IMG_9176','','inherit','closed','closed','','img_9176','','','2016-06-16 23:56:57','2016-06-16 23:56:57','',3179,'http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9176.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3183,2,'2016-06-16 23:57:02','2016-06-16 23:57:02','','IMG_9171','','inherit','closed','closed','','img_9171','','','2016-06-16 23:57:02','2016-06-16 23:57:02','',3179,'http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9171.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3184,2,'2016-06-17 00:00:04','2016-06-17 00:00:04','&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis post offers up the on-going work in progress of Sydney DJ Gus Worland and his challenges in maintaining his ideal weight.\r\nIf you feel you are equally challenged holding your ideal weight for life then read on….\r\nIf you’ve maintained somewhere close to your life weight then delete this pot and get back to work.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSydney DJ Gus Worland stores weight, or more correctly body fat, more easily than most.

Yet he’s always still found these options attractive. In fact, in moments of heightened emotion, he’s found these destructive foods irresistible. It’s as if his brain (along with 35% of the population) is hard wired this way.\r\n\r\n<strong>2) So, he focusses primarily on the foods that MUST feature in his diet – everyday.</strong>\r\n\r\nWhy?\r\n\r\nThere seems to be a clear positive link between some real foods and those more innately insulin intolerant. Selected ‘appropriate’ foods, like an array of real earthy fats, in essence, has taken care of his ever present brain wars. Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats, the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as of real fats subliminally pump messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need anymore food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around somewhere away well from food. This been the case even with being continually bombarded with immoral and suggestive food advertising. These foods are now – subliminally – unattractive. Giddy Up!\r\n\r\n<strong>3) Enter community events – always, and I mean always having something in the pipeline.</strong>\r\n\r\nWhy?\r\n\r\nHe (not me) searches the internet looking for challenging but lifestyle friendly options. He enters, parts with coin, tells me and as many people as possible, then starts preparing physically for that event. His dietary interests tend to naturally fall into line. He knows it’s likely he’ll finish near the back of the field – but he doesn’t care. It’s all simple about having a crack. He now knows he’ll be offered a stack of friendly support from other entrants, and, he’ll also receive uplifting support from spectators.

Well, he stores fat as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\n\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus, are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact, most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically he struggles (<em>more</em>) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which is linked to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states.

Well, as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices and practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically, and naturally, he struggles (more) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which usually leads to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race. Yours truly completed the other two disciplines. While it wasn’t pretty, as you’ll see (and larf) he made it!

Well, as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices and practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically, and naturally, he struggles (more) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which usually leads to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race. Yours truly completed the other two disciplines. While it wasn’t pretty, as you’ll see (and larf) he made it!

And, while now he now struts his stuff around 105-108.4kgs down from 150kgs (he is 6’3”), perhaps more importantly, his Doctor assures him he is no longer at risk of (largely) unnecessary metabolic illness as listed above.

Selected ‘appropriate’ foods, like an array of real earthy fats, in essence, has taken care of his ever present brain wars. Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats, the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as of real fats subliminally pump messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need anymore food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around somewhere away well from food. This been the case even with being continually bombarded with immoral and suggestive food advertising. These foods are now – subliminally – unattractive.

This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically, and naturally, he struggles (more) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which usually leads to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states.

Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats, the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as of real fats subliminally pump messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need anymore food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around somewhere away well from food.

Well, as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices and practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically, and naturally, he struggles (more) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which usually leads to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race. Yours truly completed the other two disciplines. While it wasn’t pretty, as you’ll see (and larf) he made it!

And, while now he now struts his stuff around 105-108.4kgs down from 150kgs (he is 6’3”), perhaps more importantly, his Doctor assures him he is no longer at risk of (largely) unnecessary metabolic illness as listed above.

Selected ‘appropriate’ foods, like an array of real earthy fats, in essence, has taken care of his ever present brain wars. Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats, the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as of real fats subliminally pump messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need anymore food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around somewhere away well from food. This been the case even with being continually bombarded with immoral and suggestive food advertising. These foods are now – subliminally – unattractive.

Well, he stores fat as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus, are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact, most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically he struggles (<em>more</em>) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which is linked to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach towards good health, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race.

Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary.

Well, he stores fat as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus, are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact, most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically he struggles (<em>more</em>) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which is linked to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach towards good health, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race.

Well, he stores fat as easily as 35% of Aussie males so current statistics suggest.\r\nHis ease of weight gain is partly courtesy of genetics and partly courtesy of lifestyle choices practiced over many years.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3181 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9179-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9179\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\r\n\r\nLooking at it more closely, Gus, and those similar to Gus, are commonly referred to as insulin intolerant (or resistant). This means Gussy’s ability to balance insulin spikes, courtesy of dietary sugars (in fact, most carbohydrates) is unfortunately inept. Basically he struggles (<em>more</em>) to burn off excessive blood sugar as energy, and, consequently, has near mastered the process of storing this excessive blood sugar (energy) as fat – stored fat. His tolerance of sugar has worsened over time, while his fat storing capacity has exponentially improved.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>Perhaps more problematic is his link between insulin intolerance and an inherent behavioural attraction for foods that cause him the most damage. When I say damage I’m referring to unnecessary weight gain which is linked to illnesses like diabetes, liver disease, CV disease and cancers. His attraction towards poor food choices seems to heighten when he is either extremely happy, or, overwhelmed with emotional lifestyle stress. While he and many know what foods to avoid, all that goes out the window when in these amplified emotional states. For the record, if you’ve read any of my previous post you’ll know the foods that cause Gus most trouble are commonly modified unreal foods loaded with brain tricking additives, and of course the media darling at the minute – white death!</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBefore checking out his now sustainable approach towards good health, check out the short video below highlighting Gussy’s recent ½ Ironman triathlon efforts where he completed the running section (21kms) of the race. Yours truly completed the other two disciplines. While it wasn’t pretty, as you’ll see (and larf) he made it! Good one Gussy!\r\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/GjiOiWUGN84\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGussy and I started working together just over 3 years ago with Gus at the time being the poster boy for pre-diabetes, non-alcoholic liver disease, hypertension, and premature cardio-vascular disease. And, while now he now struts his stuff around 105-108.4kgs down from 150kgs (he is 6’3”), perhaps more importantly, his Doctor assures him he is no longer at risk of (largely) unnecessary metabolic illness as listed above. Go Gussy!\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><em>He now knows and concedes he will never be rock hard lean and will likely never parade washer board abs. While the media (and distorted advertising) has big’ger blokes believing this, he now knows apples are apples and oranges are oranges.</em></strong></span></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>At 47 years his long term (health &amp; wellness) goals are now clear and simple;</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>1) Avoid falling ill courtesy of poor and easily avoidable lifestyle choices.</strong></span>\r\n• He knows consuming fake food loaded with additives will likely make him fatter and sicker.\r\n• He knows if he doesn’t move around regularly it will likely make him fatter and sicker.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">2) Avoid lugging around a small child of weight around your waist.</span><a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9176.jpg\"><img class=\" size-medium wp-image-3182 alignright\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/IMG_9176-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9176\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a></strong>\r\n• While he’ll most probably always carry a little more body fat than most, he now knows and accepts this is OK – <em><span style=\"color: #008080;\">he knows HE can still carry a few extra kegs and be super healthy and happy.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>3) Balance the marbles between his ears.</strong></span>\r\n• He now knows by practicing both, 1) consuming ‘the right’ foods for him, and 2)  enjoying moving regularly, his perception of lifestyle sh#t (stress) offers far less negative reactions. He also now believes in short (brain rebooting) time outs and practicing good sleeping habits.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>His approach is also clear and simple;</strong></span>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">1) Firstly, he’s given up on focusing on avoiding \'bad foods\'. The ‘evil’ and largely obvious pin up list is long gone. Now, he rather focuses solely on foods that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MUST</span> be consumed.</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\n• He’s known for years that additive riddled foods, usually mass produced foods, causes his body harm – and more harm than it does to others. Yet. he’s always still found these options attractive - damn it. In fact, in moments of heightened emotion, he’s found these destructive foods simply irresistible. It’s as if his brain (along with 35% of the population) is hard wired this way.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>2) So, he focusses primarily on the foods that MUST feature in his diet – everyday.</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere seems to be a clear positive link between selected real foods and people naturally more sensitive to insulin. Selected ‘or appropriate’ foods, like an array of real earthy fats (both animal &amp; veg), in essence, has taken care of his life-long brain war. Yep, with up to 50% of his diet now featuring real fats the influence on his subconscious food selections, or more directly his appetite, has been extraordinary. It’s as if real fats subliminally sent messages to Gussy’s brain – you’re done big fella you don’t need any more food (energy), and, you don’t need to search for food for hours…..and hours, so go move around.  In fact you feel like exercising.  He holds this mind set even while being continually bombarded with immoral and suggestive food advertising. These \'bad\' foods are now – subliminally – unattractive. Giddy Up!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>3) Enter community events – always, and I mean always having something in the pipeline.</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Why?</strong>\r\n\r\nHe (not me) searches the internet looking for challenging but lifestyle friendly options. He enters, parts with coin, tells me and as many people as possible (he loves that twitter thing), then starts preparing physically for that event. His dietary interests tend to naturally fall into line once he\'s dialed into an event. He knows it’s likely he’ll finish near the back of the field – but he doesn’t care. It’s all simple about getting out there and having a crack. He now knows he’ll be offered a stack of friendly support from other entrants, and, he’ll also receive uplifting support from spectators.

conducted, performed on a mix white and blue collar workers, results suggest the greatest threat to continued good health and optimum <a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/health-pp.png\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2760 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/health-pp-300x226.png\" alt=\"health  pp\" width=\"165\" height=\"124\" /></a>performance could be related to the influence of lifestyle (work) demands, and one\'s perception and tolerance of stress.\r\n\r\nThe media commonly has us believing the main reasons for declining Australian health statistics are most influenced by:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">1) The consumption of excessive dietary fat, excessive alcohol, and more recently sugar, and </span></strong>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">2) Increasing sedentary lifestyles.</span></strong></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBased on my results, I believe more appreciation should to given to the negative influence of chronic on chronic mental and emotional stress.  Assessing my results, involving both physical tests like: blood pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides link between hormones (in the body) and neurotransmitters (in the brain) constantly in a chronic state of imbalance. While most people seem to tolerate and even thrive with increasing work demands, it also seems clear to me many Aussies employ inadequate counter –balancing choices to this increasing stress.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">*Optimum performance refers to one’s sustained best output at work, while leaving work (physically &amp; mentally) with enough in the tank (again, physically &amp; emotionally) to enjoy relationships, family, animals, and your athletic interests.</span> </strong></blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis post (Part 1) discusses the emotional and the physical result of the cumulative effect of lifestyle (work specifically) stress. I’m talking about the bio-chemical imbalance, which is leaving an impact on behaviour and physicality. In my next posts (Part 2 &amp; 3) I’ll talk about the hormones involved and tools to help balance those work stressors, which I have witnessed as successful in the past.\r\nSo what did those 400 Health Assessments actually show me? <a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/beeeeee.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2757 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/beeeeee.jpg\" alt=\"beeeeee\" width=\"236\" height=\"150\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe most significant revelation to me was the link between those who assessed with high (systolic) blood pressure, elevated (non-fasting) blood glucose, and/or low triglycerides along with a candid reflection on their personal lifestyle questionnaire (which is a confidential self-assessment on how you actually feel), resulting in quite low moods. These results were quite confronting for many, as they were seemingly “getting the job done”.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe realisation that they had little left in the tank (both emotionally &amp; physically) once they left the building highlights the body’s default of using of coping mechanisms which continue to add to their growing ill-health.\r\nTo counter increasing and often unrelenting work pressure and expectations, both in the body and brain we have two significant bio-chemical responses.\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>1) Adrenalin (body), and, </strong></span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>2) Serotonin (brain).</strong> </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</blockquote>\r\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em><strong>Adrenalin</strong></em></span> is a hormone (along with norepinephrine and dopamine) released from the adrenal glands that sit on top of your kidneys. Adrenalin is one powerful hormone and is <a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Epinephrine-ampule.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2755 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Epinephrine-ampule-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Epinephrine-ampule\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" /></a>only slightly varied to the drug speed on a molecular level. Its natural action is to respond swiftly to a potentially dangerous flight or fight situation. And, it works a treat.\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Adrenalin:</strong></span>\r\n• Increases in strength and power.\r\n• Increases our concentration (even eye sight) and problem solving capacity – at speed.\r\n• Increases confidence.\r\n• Drives ready to use sugar into the blood stream for sharp energy.\r\n• Increases heart and breathing rate without fatigue or perception of pain.\r\nIt also works in tandem with cortisol (a glucocorticoid hormone) which is necessary to shut down (inhibit) less important bodily systems when in need of an energy booster – like your reproduction, digestive and immune systems.\r\nSo, if used wisely and sparingly, adrenalin can be a real a cracker!\r\nWhen under a constant heightened strain at work, it’s likely your adrenalin pump, and therefore cortisol production will be switched to overdrive. If this is happening day after day, with little counter-balancing, this is when behaviour and physical health can uncharacteristically change. Not good.\r\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em><strong>Serotonin</strong></em></span> is a neurotransmitter derived from tryptophan (an amino acid), and is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), blood platelets, and the central <a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ser.gif\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2756\" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ser-300x225.gif\" alt=\"ser\" width=\"227\" height=\"170\" /></a>nervous system (CNS). It makes us calm, centred, happy and tolerant. It assists in maintaining a steady stream of energy, facilitates our appropriate appetite, and promotes daily motivation and verve.\r\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Serotonin:</strong></span>\r\n• Makes us content and optimistic.\r\n• Offers the funny side of life.\r\n• Makes us more productive and creative.\r\n• Makes us understanding and charitable.\r\n• Contributes in conjunction with melatonin to a quality night’s sleep, beating the alarm, and bouncing out of bed.\r\nSo basically it’s a superstar in health maintenance and keeps you somewhat nice 24/7. And, I guess the trick towards continued emotional wellness (particularly for when you leave the building) is fine tuning the balance of both <span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Adrenalin</strong> </span>and <strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Serotonin</span></strong>. This balance involves learning to recover from both good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress), whilst at work and outside of work.\r\nWhat can you expect when you are living in this constant state of imbalance?\r\nBelow are <strong><em>common behaviour and physical traits</em></strong> linked with sustained excessive adrenalin/cortisol levels, alongside diminishing serotonin levels.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNote that 80% of behaviour is more reflective of outside work hours.\r\n• Reduced tolerance.\r\n• Communication shutdown – dismissive, particularly at social gigs.\r\n• Forget to eat and reach a point of crave–like starvation.\r\n• Feel apathetic and empty.\r\n• Sleep is distorted, and thus wake un-rested – the cycle continues.\r\n• Complain of restless legs when sleeping.\r\n• Unusually pessimistic.\r\n• Warmish and slightly red face.\r\n• Headaches and jitters.\r\n• Little interest to exercise (lethargy) – worn out at the end of a day.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/braaaaa.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2758 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/braaaaa-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"braaaaa\" width=\"271\" height=\"271\" /></a>\r\n• More shallow breath than normal.\r\n• Diminishing sex-drive.\r\n• Niggles in joints – knees and lower back head the list.\r\n• Diminishing posture – shoulders hunched and pelvis tilted slightly forward.\r\n• “Pick me up” food options like caffeine, sugar, and alcohol become far more appealing (if not necessary).\r\n• A losing battle to stop at 1 alcoholic drink.\r\n• Overeating in a sitting as “switch off” hormones became ineffective.\r\n• Self-sabotaging habits – poor food choices, smoking, alcohol, etc\r\n• Function with two gears – flat out (hectic energy) or stop – arousal ascent &amp; descent is steep.\r\n• Almost a cold turkey or homesickness (blue) feeling.\r\n• Pancreatic, Liver, and Cardio-vascular ill-health concerns.\r\nWhile we all suffer from one or two of these every so often without cause for concern, with prolonged presence many of these ‘signs and symptoms’ will encourage your body into a further adrenalin overdose and serotonin deficit. It’s a common cycle.\r\nThere are many reasons for these behavioural and physical traits to come about – like travelling and time zone changes, irregular nutritional consumption, irregular sleeping patterns and lifestyle (outside work) stress BUT work challenges seem to over contribute.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nHow do we know this?  Well, a lot of these issues seem to disappear when we’re on holidays!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe long-term danger of excessive adrenalin stimulation being left on overdrive (from <a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/fhfhfh.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2753 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/fhfhfh-300x108.jpg\" alt=\"fhfhfh\" width=\"342\" height=\"123\" /></a>repeated, unrested work pressure) it becomes increasingly difficult to counter-balance the hormones and can then lead to an adrenal crash - resulting in burnout and ensuing ill-health (as in a howler - heart attack or the likes).\r\nSo how do we counter balance the demands of work pressure (which is accepted and probably won’t change) AND have a fulfilling life outside of work?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<blockquote><span style=\"color: #008080;\">We attempt to dial down adrenalin/ cortisol production and crank up serotonin, whilst accepting one’s work demands! And I think this is possible for all.</span></blockquote>\r\nIn ‘PART 2’, I’ll cover the 5 major players involved with balancing mood, along with 5 PROVEN WAYS to help balance work demands - enabling your best “flow” on and off the field.\r\n<blockquote><strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">1. Adrenalin</span> – heightened awareness.<a href=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/heartss.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2588 \" src=\"http://balancehealthprograms.com.au/wp-content/uploads/heartss-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"heartss\" width=\"197\" height=\"118\" /></a></strong>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">2. Serotonin</span> – enduring motivation.</strong>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">3. Cortisol</span> – prioritises systems.</strong>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">4. Melatonin</span> – the nocturnal opposite to serotonin – in producing our best sleep quality.</strong>\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #993366;\">5. Insulin</span> – blood glucose balance plays a huge role in mood and sustained energy. </strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</blockquote>\r\nBP\r\nNOTE – I am currently presenting this topic in the format of “on-site” presentations to corporate groups, if you would like further information, please feel free to make contact with me on the details below.','PAMPY’S POST 40.15 - IS WORK PRESSURE LEAVING YOUR TANK DRY WHEN YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR?
