Stillman Diet – Simple, Fast, Effective

Posted by R. Michael Stone on October 11, 2015

For those of you who’ve read author Kelly L. Stone’s article ( LINK to Article) on her experience with the Stillman diet, losing 50lbs in a few months and returning to her high school figure, you know how powerful this diet is.

I myself have used this diet when needed over the years. Recently, I decided it was time to dump a few uncomfortable pounds and I’d like to present how I go about doing the Stillman diet effectively.

The first thing I do, before going on the diet is stockpiling beef and chicken. I also use eggs but I have to get those as needed as there is no convenient way to store them. I have plenty of hamburger, some steak for a treat and my two favorite chicken pieces, thighs and breasts, on hand before I even begin.

The reason is that once you start, you don’t want to be distracted by having to run to the store. The way I do the diet is to eat several small meals per day. For instance, I may start the day with a hot air cooked hamburger patty. To spice it up, I use plenty of pink himalayan salt, pepper and sometimes, spicy brown mustard. The generic Walmart brands are economical and do not have anything in them to throw off the diet.

The idea is to eat when you are hungry. You can eat as much of the diet foods as you want and still lose weight. It is the only diet I know where you are never hungry!

My next meal, depending on my mood is either another hamburger patty or a piece of chicken cooked on the hot air cooker.

After you’ve been on the diet for a couple of weeks your appetite is very reduced and so, maybe two meals is all you need. But you do need to eat the protein for the diet to work quickly.

In the early stages of the diet, e.g. within the first two weeks, you might be eating 4 or 5 small meals per day. After the diet settles in, you desire much less.

Another variety I like with my hamburger patty is to eat a boiled egg with it. It really spices it up.

It has been my experience on the Stillman diet that there is an average fat loss of 3.5 pounds per week. All with never being hungry!

The loss is slow enough that the skin adjusts but fast enough that you can see progress almost every day. For myself, I have already lost 7 lbs in two weeks. I don’t have much more I need to lose.

take control of your weight easily and fast. Look into the Stillman diet!

Save Forever – A Great TV Series

Posted by R. Michael Stone on May 13, 2015

I don’t watch TV much. Instead, I pick out shows that have some meaning or value. One of the few shows I watch is called Forever, the story of a man who, over 200 years ago was killed trying to do the right thing, yet, instead of dying, he became immortal. The show is his story of trying to find out why and how it happened while he attempts to keep secret that he is over 200 years old.

A fantastic, spiritual show with a wonderful cast. Yet, ABC decided to cancel it even though it had a very large audience, e.g. in the millions. They also never bothered to promote it and put it in a crummy time slot. I found it just by accident as have literally millions of others.

Those of us who watch the show are trying to save it. There are petitions linked below which I hope you will sign:

Save FOREVER

Another Petition to Save Forever Please sign all petitions; make a difference. Still another Petition to Save Forever. Please sign them all.

If you’ve never seen the show, I urge you to watch the first episode. It’s a great story with a warm, loving lead character: Dr. Henry Morgan.

The No Hunger Diet that WORKS

A Special Post by Author Kelly L. Stone

Before Stillman Diet

Aug. 2013 – Before Stillman Diet

 

 My Successful Experience with the Stillman Diet

©Kelly Stone

The Doctor’s Quick Weight Loss Method, a high-protein diet developed in the 1960’s by Dr. Irvin Stillman, is just what the name suggests: a quick way to lose weight without drugs or exercise. I know because from August 2013 to December 2013, I lost 50 pounds following Dr. Stillman’s advice-that’s roughly ten pounds a month. No matter how you look at it, ten pounds a month can not be considered unsafe-that’s less than 4 pounds per week. I’d like to share my experience with you so that you might consider using Dr. Stillman’s diet as an easy and fast way to shed unwanted pounds.

By the way, Dr. Stillman’s book, The Doctor’s Quick Weight Loss Method, is still available on Amazon.

My Experience

I’m 5’8” tall and in August 2013, topped the scales at 185.5 pounds.  I felt sluggish, my appetite was out of control, I craved sweets and pasta constantly, I could never get full no matter how much I ate, I got a stress fracture in my leg when I tried running the weight off (plus I only lost 7 pounds during the 4 months I was running), and I looked and felt awful. To make matters worse, my medical check-up for health insurance revealed I was pre-diabetic, hypertensive, my “bad” cholesterol was high, and my BMI was over 30 which put me in the “obese” category.  It was depressing!

So I ate my last pizza on August  18, 2013 (yes I ate the whole thing by myself) and started the diet on Monday, August 19. Following Dr. Stillman’s “approved foods” list in his book, I stocked up on lean hamburger meat, lean chicken, tuna in water, 2% cottage cheese, and steak.

I confess that the first two weeks was the hardest; getting into the mindset to eat two boiled eggs for breakfast, a hamburger patty or can of tuna for lunch, and a broiled steak for dinner took some mental and physical adjusting. I had a mild headache and some GI distress as my body detoxed from carbs, but within three days I’d lost my first two pounds. The first two weeks I lost about 12 pounds. That was enough encouragement for me to keep going.

After two weeks the diet became easy. My appetite decreased significantly, so that a hamburger patty or can of tuna actually filled me up. I can’t tell you what a relief it was to eat a small amount of protein and feel full! Grocery shopping became a breeze, and as I continued to diet, I was consistently losing three to five pounds per week.  When I lost 20 pounds people started to notice and compliment me, which also helped me keep going.

After I’d dropped 25 pounds I had another medical check-up, and the nurse who did my bloodwork was astounded at the results-I was no longer pre-diabetic or hypertensive, my “bad” cholesterol had dropped to a normal level, and my BMI was 20, which put me in the “normal” range.

I lost a total of 50 pounds on the Stillman diet and am now in maintenance phase. Dr. Stillman has a “three-pound-red-flag-rule” to help you maintain your goal weight; as soon as you gain three pounds over your goal weight, return to the all-protein diet to lose it. This works for me because I can have days where I can broaden my range of food choices, but my weight doesn’t spiral out of control like it did before.

If you’re overweight I encourage you to get Dr. Stillman’s book and try the diet for yourself. Look at my before and after pictures-now, I’m proud of the way I look. I feel great, and I rewarded myself by buying lots of new clothes, something I hadn’t done literally in years. I just finished running a 15K without injury and have a half-marathon planned for April.

Give Dr. Stillman’s diet a try- you’ll be amazed and proud of the results! You can do it!

November 22, 1963 – A Day to Remember

Posted by R. Michael Stone on November 25, 2013

This post addresses the impact on the conscious of the people alive at the time President Kennedy was murdered.

On November 22, 1963, I was in sixth grade. It was a Friday and I was looking forward to the weekend and to the Thanksgiving holidays the next week.  Some time after 1pm, an announcement came over the intercom system that the President had been killed and school was letting out early. In short order, the buses arrived and everyone was sent home.

The atmosphere was dismal that weekend. The television kept repeating the same negative story all weekend. Then on Sunday, there was the murder of Oswald, on live television. That scene was repeated over and over again.

The murder of John Kennedy had a negative impact on everyone; whether supporter or non-supporter. It was just wrong and not what America was about.

What most people today who weren’t alive at the time President Kennedy was murdered don’t realize is that the majority of the people of the time, didn’t believe what was being reported about the murder.  Although I was a child, I heard much talk about how it’s unlikely that only one person was involved and particularly, after the alledged murder weapon was produced, all the hunters around my area knew that it was impossible that particular rifle could have hit anything much less have been fired as many times as claimed in the short time listed. The untruth about the murder of the President caused great distress to everyone. When the Warren Commission report came out, very few people believed the conclusions.

Although people knew something was fishy about what was being reported, some people took action. Two of the earliest researchers were Harold Weisberg and Mark Lane. At their own expense, they researched the murder and discovered that the Warren Commission report was a whitewash and didn’t reveal the truth. Since their pioneering work, many others have also done the work the Warren Commission refused to do and discovered there was a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy. The House Assassination committee in the late 1970’s also concluded there was a conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.

Here are some a few of the books that show the Warren Commission ignored much evidence: JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters by Douglass, Rush To Judgment: The #1 Bestseller That Dares to Reveal What the Warren Report Concealed About the Assassination of John F. Kennedy by Mark Lane, and Never Again!: The Government Conspiracy in the JFK Assassination by Harold Weisberg.

All these researchers have actually looked at the facts and drawn conclusions about who was involved. Most recently, evidence has come to light that Lyndon Johnson was a key conspirator in the Kennedy murder.  His behavior after the assassination was always suspicious.

Now, what people don’t realize is that Lyndon Johnson’s wife, called Lady Bird, spent a great deal of her early years in Central Alabama which was where her parents were from. Her family fortune, which attracted Lyndon, came from her father, Thomas Jefferson Taylor, who had been a poverty stricken sharecropper in Alabama. He decided to end his poverty by robbing a train in Alabama and then fleeing to Texas to escape the law. He used that money to buy protection and land, ultimately making a fortune.

This story was well known to the people of Central Alabama. Some of them even had associated with the young, Ms. Taylor, with the nickname of Lady Bird. So, with this background, it was just a general consensus that Lyndon Johnson had been involved in the Kennedy murder. Now, 50 years later, research and evidence proves they were right. The following books present the evidence: The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination, and Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK.

Truth is always a purifier. One of the reasons that the collective consciousness of the people was so adversely affected is that not only did an awful murder take place in front of hundreds of witnesses, and in the case of Oswald, millions, but afterwards, the people were lied to about who did it. Books that support the Warren Commission Report ignore the evidence and the conclusion of the House Assassination committee. If a book claims there was a lone gunman, you are wasting your time reading it.

After a half century, it’s time for truth. I recommend the following books:

Educate yourself as to the facts about the murder of President Kennedy. Rest in Peace, Mr. President. There are many other books that I recommend. If there is any interest in the comments, I will list them as well.
