WALK  YOURSELF  THIN
by Marcel Cadieux, C.Ped

Another diet?   No.  You don’t need to change how or what you eat. Is it another new fad?   No.  It uses the fundamentals of biological science that have been around since the beginning of man.

·  You don’t have to change a thing about the way you eat.
·  You do not have to watch your weight, you monitor your clothes size instead.
·  Do not keep track of calories.
·  You don’t even need to track your progress.
·  Throw away your scale, a tape measure shows the real results of exercise.
·  Just walk everyday as fast and as long as you comfortably can.

It’s called “ThinWalking”.  The result of research done by David A. Rivas a graduate of the University of Michigan (B.S., Cellular Biology), where he also attended Medical School before moving to California. Here he continued the research that has resulted in the “Walk Yourself Thin” Program.  Mr. Rivas’ book is a short, entertaining and easy read which explains the science behind why walking works. It just makes sense. “Walk Yourself Thin” may be the most inspiring motivational book on walking available.

Fact:   Burn 200 more calories everyday than you did before you started ThinWalking, without changing your eating habits and you will transform fat into muscle.

As you use your muscles a certain amount will breakdown and the body will need to replace them. Your body will build bigger and stronger muscles than what you had because it assumes that you will be going farther and faster during your next walk. Where does you body get the extra materials to build this extra muscle?  It draws from the fat you’ve been storing.

Fact:   A Pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat.

Any fat that develops into muscle will actually change your shape and size without a change in weight. You may not be a pound lighter, but you are a pound skinnier.

Fact:   “If nothing changes . . . . Nothing changes.”

If you’re planning to get into a smaller pant size, you are going to need to change something. Start an activity that burns additional calories and your body will gladly give up its’ stored fat to produce new muscle. If you put yourself on a diet, you know the kind that you're still hungry or not satisfied, your body will think it is starving and actually store the fat.
