WHY FACTOR!
We are excited to share our "Covenant" weight loss breakthrough with our friends and the world! We have been married 30 years this December 31st and like many couples have each slowly put on weight over the course of our years together. Barbeques, weddings, birthdays, holidays and the good old "just because it's TV and snack time".
Weight talk is somewhat of a taboo in society, and can be awkward within a relationship and is ignored by many because of the feelings that rise up. To steal a line from Christian comedian, Jeff Allen's Happy wife, happy life video, "what I'm hearing is, you are over weight and we're going on a diet."
The Good News- we were blessed with a moment of clarity that lead to a breaking down of the walls of the "don't ask don't tell" eating habits we slept walked ourselves into; we came out of our food coma wondering where all the weight came from and how to reverse it.
Why was this weight loss conversation different than all the others?
This isn't the first time we both wanted to lose some weight but what was different this time was the holy spirit's intervention into directing us back to the day we married and our wedding vows, the covenant, the promise to be united until death does us part, in sickness and in health. We began to dialogue in depth how we needed to battle this weight gain together, using our covenant to one another as the foundation to a successful, healthy life style together! Genesis 2:24
It wasn't a bet, it wasn't a challenge.
What was placed on our hearts was that this was not to be a challenge to your mate but a combined journey. We have researched relationship weight lost and have found cases where people actually lost weight because their spouse challenged them to a weight lost contest. These challenges can be short lived and may lack long term success. It's too easy after a couple weeks to say "you win" and they are back on the food merry-go-round.
The wedding vows.
2Canlose.com was birthed out of a desire to lose weight as a couple in the perimeters and privacy of our own marriage.
We made a wedding covenant on the evening of December 31st, 1987, 9:00 pm and recently revisited that covenant to enter into an agreed life style change 25 years later. We're excited to share 2canlose.com with your family; join us on this journey through a unique weight loss concept based on the covenant of the wedding vows. We'd recommend you dig out that wedding video and listen to those vows and revisit the covenant that will encourage and guide you both.
The Kistler Diet.
We hate the word diet, it's more an explanation to the human metabolism! It’s not the BRAT diet- not the Medeteranian diet- not a diet- it’s simply what our ancestor had here on good old planet earth a couple thousand years ago. If it’s processed- it wasn’t invented yet & wasn’t part of their diet, not until 1835 soda water (soda pop) was introduced and bottled in the U.S. So stay with the foods that were available around 3100 BC.
NO Sugar, NO Grains, NO Beans, NO Starch, NO Dairy & NO Alcohol.
What can you eat you ask?
Mr. Kistler discovers a little known fact regarding the aging male and belly fat.
Testosterone
Testosterone helps build muscle mass, and therefore, LOW levels of testosterone actually cause you to lose muscle mass. ... And contributes to the over 30 group losing the belly fat war. The deck is stacked against us. LOW Testosterone also contributes to fatigue, depression, weakness, and hair loss can be a result of lower than normal testosterone levels.
