Weight Loss
Long Term Sustainable Weight Loss
If your goal is to shed some unwanted pounds, Dr. Best will guide you in a highly effective weight loss program. Our main focus is teaching you how to lose the excess weight and maintain your ideal weight for life.
- In the first phase of this program Dr. Best will teach you how to eat real foods in order create a mild state of ketosis to ensure that you lose fat while maintaining your lean muscle mass. In other low calories diets you lose muscle in addition to losing fat which results in you having to eat less food the rest of your life in order to maintain that weight. Dr. Best has found that by utilizing this program you will lose the fat, increase lean muscle mass and increase your metabolism so that you can eat more food when you finish the weight loss portion of the program.
- The second phase of the program teaches you how to find what foods are toxic and create inflammation in your body. This inflammatory food response is the culprit to getting you over weight in the first place.
- Dr. Best can also discover thru the use of Applied Kinesiology what other factors exist in your body which may have been creating long term weight issues, whether it is physical or emotional and offer you solutions.
The program Dr. Kenneth Best, D.C. uses for rapid long term weight loss was voted number 1 for the last two years in Australia over Atkins, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. Dr. Best has been trained with this weight loss program and successfully completed the program himself loosing 25 lbs. in only 4 weeks.
This is a physician monitored program that teaches you how to eat real foods in proper combinations to lose weight and keep it off for life. This program is tailored specifically to each individual and their needs. Many patients are able to reduce or completely come off of medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. This is real science that restores your body to real health.
Phase 1: This is the rapid weight loss phase, where men on average lose on average from 20 to 30 lbs. in the first 5 week period. Women under age 50 lose on average from 13 to 18 lbs., based on a 10,000 participant study. Almost one million people already have reached their ideal weight on this program.
This is a mild ketogenic program in order monitor body fat loss and retain lean muscle mass to increase your metabolic level once you have completed the weight loss program.
Phase 2 : The first phase is an elimination diet coupled with real science and eating real foods. The second phase teaches you how to add back in the ‘starchy’ foods without gaining back the weight. This phase also determines what foods create an allergic response slowing down your metabolism. This creates a tailored program for you to maintain your ultimate weight for life.
- Getting to your ideal weight & staying there
- Having a healthy relationship to food that is eaten
- Preventing many of the major diseases
- Feeling better and having more energy
Phase 1: lose fat while preserving lean muscle mass
Transition Phase: 'transition' program integrating starchy foods
Phase 2: understanding how to eat to maintain weight loss for life
Dr. Best feels that Phase 2 is the most important phase. In this phase you learn what foods create and maintain inflammation in your body and creates bloating and holding on to excess water. Inflammation in conjunction with insulin resistance causes the body to store fat. It is toxic effect which appears to slow down the metabolism and gain weight even more easily. During the process of both phases, the body becomes more efficient at burning fat, increasing the metabolism, maintaining lean muscle and breaking the syndrome which leads to insulin resistance.
The beauty of the program is its simplicity and the fact that it is basic
biochemistry. People are shown how to get their body to burn fat for fuel during
the first step. Once they get to their ideal weight they are shown how to
maintain that ideal state. They receive a system for eating all the heavy,
starchy foods in a way that the weight is not regained. Finally, a trained and
licensed healthcare practitioner evaluates 9 potential health condition and 9
lifestyles that over time can stop a person from staying at their ideal weight.
There is no reason it cannot work for everyone since it works according to the
biochemistry of the body.
The
greatest gift of health people can give themselves and their loved ones is a
system that will get them to their ideal weight and in the process show them how
to have a healthy relationship with the food they eat so that they can maintain
their ideal weight for life. This by itself could clear up many health
challenges people face today.
100 years ago less than 1 in 50 people developed cancer; today it is 1 in 3. To
make matters worse even though billions of dollars have been spent over the past
few decades, we do not have a cure for cancer. However, it is much easier to
prevent cancer from happening than trying to control it once it develops into a
tumor and spreads throughout the body. The impact of full-blown cancer and its
consequences to life and one’s family is devastating. Your weight and what you
eat has the greatest impact on your body’s ability to mount a strong first
line of defense.
Many
studies being published on cancer, heart disease and diabetes are showing the
negative impact of being overweight and obese on these diseases, not to mention
many other health conditions associated with being over weight. It is no wonder
that, as a nation, we spend more money on people’s health than any other
industrialized country, but have many more chronically sick people in
comparison.
It is our belief that if people were able to get to their ideal weight and
maintain it over time, while having a healthy relationship with the food they
eat, they would be giving themselves the greatest gift of health. Many of the
health problems they are experiencing would go away, allowing their body to
effectively function and allowing the process of healing to take place.

Side Effects of Detoxing
You may feel a bit ill at ease, have diarrhea, nausea and headaches.
These side effects can very greatly on how toxic your body is and how fast you are trying to detoxify. More is definitely not always better when detoxifying.
Herxheimer reaction is due to excessive detoxifying where the body reacts by having symptoms similar to flu, this usually only lasts for a few hours.
You want to avoid this type of reaction. This is because toxins are being released into the body quicker than they are being eliminated from the body and thus in a way is exposing your body to the toxins you are trying to eliminate.
If you have this reaction you need to drink more water and decrease the level of detox regime you are doing. Remember it took awhile for your body to accumulate these toxins so give your body sometime to eliminate them.
This is not to scare you from detoxifying your body. Heavy metal toxicity can result in debilitating diseases so detoxifying may be in your best interest, but be consistent rather than over zealous.
In some cases diseases that are due toxicity may require fast detoxification which is best done under the supervision of a detoxification specialist to avoid any of these complications.
Cleanses and Detoxing
You are what you eat. You are what you absorb.
There are two meanings here. One if you don't supply the body with what it needs to heal your body won't heal. What you absorb refers to whether or not your body digests and takes in the important nutrients you supply, If you have a lack of enzymes or digestive problems you may not be absorbing the nutrition you need.
Secondly, what you absorb also refers to all those nasty toxins and chemicals in the food, air and water. Household cleaning supplies provide a plethora of chemicals which become airborne once you start using them. See and there sources. are recommendations for cleansing and detoxifying the body.

Stanley Borroughs Master Cleanse
A long standing cleanse by Stanley Borroughs. This a minimum 10 day fast drinking and mixture of lemon juice, water, cayenne and grade B maple syrup.

Always consult with your physician before taking on a major fast or cleanse.
One of the fastest ways to detoxify the liver and gallbladder, but may be to harsh for you. I have personally done this flush more than 1/2 dozen times. The first time was very rough and by the 4th time had very little detoxification side effects. Always consult with your physician before taking on a major fast or cleanse.
Dr. Budwig Diet - Flax Seed Diet
This is a great look at the good fats versus bad fats. Good fats produce anti-inflammatory prostaglandins which reduce swelling and inflammatory conditions. This diet may be wonderful for persons with arthritis, certain heart conditions, anti-cancer and other inflammatory conditions. My father dropped his cholesterol levels in half from high levels to low normal in only one month.

Alkalize Your Body to Support Weight Loss
Alkalize your body by foods and especially Alkaline Antioxidant Water to support your weight loss. If you are already too toxic your body doesn't want to break down and release fat because fat stores toxins. Therefore, breaking down fat releases more toxins. You need a healthy alkaline system to burn fat efficiently.
I recommend the Athena, a premium water alkalizer and generates the highest ORP (antioxidant potential). I have found that if I drink this water after I eat a food I am normally inflamed by, i.e. wheat, where I gain a lot of water weight and bloating over night, now I don't! I found this amazing.

Anti-inflammatory Diet
Ultimately if you are eating foods that are inflaming you, causing you to bloat and feel tired; you need to go on an anti-inflammatory diet for 3 to 5 weeks to increase your metabolism and detoxify.
Then you can add foods back into your normal diet to find which foods are creating this inflammatory cycle - and then stay away.
Especially gluten sensitive individuals have more at stake than feeling bloated. It may cause other diseases in the body. Read my blog on gluten sensitivities and watch the video.
