Around age 40 I put on twenty pounds. I had always had a perfect metabolism. But, my metabolism betrayed me as it does most people, except a very rare few who will always be thin.
Blood tests will indicate if you are a little low on this, you need a little more of that. You balance it out that way.
Contrary to what everyone thinks, I am not a fanatic. I do work out when I'm not on the road, three times a week for 40 minutes.
Everything about the weight loss books is very authentic. I did do them as a result of my gaining twenty pounds.
For years I have been going to the South of France to cool out.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
I actually have never been to a gym. I haven't had time. I have been working for the last 25 years. I just don't have time to put on a little outfit and go to the gym and work out and clean up and come home.
I always knew how to cook and at one point in my career where I had done nine television pilots before Three's Company and they all failed, I just got discouraged.
I am sailing through this period, this passage of my life. I am enjoying it probably the most I have ever enjoyed my life.
I did trial and error on myself and it took two months. I eliminated all the sugars, obvious sugars, and I ate carbohydrates separate from protein.
I eat a lot. I eat three times a day and I snack.
I find that one of the most curious things is that I have fractionalized audiences. I have people who only know me from the books.
I guess the powers that be said, well "I had better interfere right now."
I had never gained any weight in my life before that, and I was really trying to find a way to not have to spend a lifetime dieting.
I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works.
I have my hormones balanced. Most doctors are giving women synthetic hormones, which just eliminate the symptoms, but it's doing nothing to actually replace the hormones you have lost. Without our hormones we die.
I made a lot of friends over the years and I would always look at what they were eating. All of them were skinny. I would think that I would like to eat like that.
I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.
I started reading and talking and interviewing nutritionists and a thread was starting to form for me which is-a protein digests in a different rate of speed than a carbohydrate.
I think that's a shift in thinking too. You just have to do something. You don't have to be a fanatic; you don't have to do three hours in the gym.
I told you about the little cookbook and cooking for my family and thinking I would teach cooking when I thought my career wasn't going to take off.
I understand from a physiological standpoint, but you really need a doctor to explain it and even then you will never understand it.
I was eating off my own fat reserve. So, it wasn't visible until all of a sudden. It felt like it was overnight.
It was that merry-go-round. I would have to hide from the public when I gained weight because I just didn't want to be photographed like that.
It's just amazing how good you feel when you are balanced. Couple that with Somercizing, which re-trains your metabolism to work at optimum, and I find that you can stay in really great shape at this age.
Now I know that that is just the phenomena of eating this way. Most all of my letters say I hit a plateau and then one morning I woke up and the melt had happened.
Now I understand what was happening. I don't particularly gain water; I don't have water retention.
Sometimes, when you are in the public eye, you just really need to just be part of the crowd, and look at other people rather than other people look at you.
That's what the gas is about, that's what the bloating is about and that's what the fat storage is about.
Then there are the people who know me from the lectures. What I am really trying to do, what I need to accomplish at this time, is to fill in the gaps.
There is a general knowledge that I am multi-dimensional, that when you are creative you do a lot of things.
They are no longer going to serve you well. You have to commit. I think the biggest word is commit. I hear women say to me all the time, and men - I want to, I want to.
Well, stress definitely blocks estrogen receptors, especially at my age, which means your estrogen levels drop even lower at this age.
What I really need is for people to know that I don't just do this, I do this and this and this and this. We all have creativity in us and we all are multi-dimensional and we are all interested in a lot of things and that women are fabulous. We can handle a lot of things.
When your estrogen levels drop it's your body's signal that you are no longer in childbearing years. Well, as you are losing your hormones, that also means your bones are going to get brittle.
