Five Essential Steps to Healthy and Permanent Weight Control

By Dr. Juliet Tien (Dr. J), D. N. Sc.

Most of you reading this article probably have gone through many diets or weight-loss programs. Most likely you have lost and gained, lost and gained perhaps more than 100 pounds repeatedly! So, what you need is a program you can rely on for life, for permanent weight control instead of going through frustrating weight yo-yo’s!

As detailed in, Breaking the Yeast Curse: Food and Unconditional Love for Magic Healing, after I conquered a severe case of yeast and parasitic infection, I was able to lose 50 pounds and keep it off over the past few decades; well, except the two times I was pregnant with my children. The reason why I have been able to maintain my ideal weight is because I employed a holistic approach to remove both my physical and mental toxins. If you follow the five essential steps below, you will enjoy the same results:

Step 1:  Identifying the causes of overweight condition.

Some people say their weight condition is genetic. However, statistic shows that overweight people tend to have overweight pets. That’s not genetic! So, you need to do an honest assessment and identify the cause or causes for your overweight condition. The Five-Step program will give you guidelines to identify the real cause.

Once you identify the real cause, whether it’s overeating, eating the wrong kind of food, suffering from yeast and parasitic infections, hypothyroidism, or being stressed out by your life events, you can focus your efforts on eradicating the cause and learn to be on the right track. 

Step 2:  Developing a weight-loss meal plan to nourish your body.

Based on several decades of clinical experience, I have found that the Anti-Yeast Nutritional Program is the best weight-loss meal plan. An Anti-Yeast Nutritional Program is to starve yeasts and parasites in your body, and to stop or prevent them from jeopardizing your thyroid function; thus, you can maintain optimal metabolic function.

Basically, this weight-loss meal plan contains no sugar, no dairy, no wheat, no yeasts, no alcohol, no caffeine, no nicotine, nor chemicals. For details regarding what you can eat, and what should avoid, read my yeast-free cookbook, Healthy and Tasty: Dr. J’s Anti-Yeast Cooking. The book is available in most of your local libraries.

Step 3: Using herbal formulas to cleanse yeasts and parasites and boost your metabolism.

If you have experienced a chronic overweight condition, I highly recommend that you consider herbal therapy to remove excess yeasts and parasites quickly so that your body’s innate intelligence can heal and boost your metabolic function.

Because yeasts and parasites go hand in hand like Siamese Twins, you need a strong formula to remove yeasts and parasites SIMULTANEOUSLY to accomplish the above purpose.

Step 4: Managing stress effectively to stop and prevent emotional eating.

When health is concerned, yeasts and parasites are the “roots of all evil” and stress is the core of these roots! Included in my book, Breaking the Yeast Curse: Food and Unconditional Love for Magic Healing, there are several stress management techniques including writing reconcile letters, releasing deep-rooted negative emotions, a 10-Minute Meditation, affirmations and prayers. These techniques have been able to stand the test of time for several decades and are wonderful tools for you to stop emotional eating.

Meanwhile, they help you develop self-love and approval so that you no longer need to use unwanted fat as a protection shield. The book is available in most of your local libraries.

Step 5: Establishing spiritual balance for long-lasting weight control.

Your struggle with weight has a purpose. Once you identify a clear purpose of your weight challenge, you will enjoy love and peace in your life and be able to help others achieve the same. With the first-hand experience, you can guide and convince others almost effortlessly to be on the right track.

In addition to the above five steps, the common sense approach including proper hydration, sufficient amount of rest and sleep, and regular exercise is also important. Once you follow these five essential steps, you will be in the right state of mind to take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

Some clients asked,

“How long should I stay on this five-step program once I reach my goal weight?” 

My answer is, “It depends on how long you want to have quality of life!” 

In order to enjoy permanent weight control, you do need to stay on track. Initially, you may need to make an effort to change some non-functional habits. However, after a while, staying on the right track becomes second nature! In fact, you wouldn’t want to go back to how you were, now that you have found a better way to live!
