Lesson 7: Breathing Away the Fat

What follows is especially true for females: In our teens, we could eat whatever we want without gaining weight. In our 20's, when we gain a few pounds, we could just exercise a little more and/or eat a little less and we could lose those pounds. At some point, in the 30's or 40's, exercise and diet don't seem to do it anymore, especially after having a baby. As soon as you understand why this is, you will see why the FRTD is the best way to lose weight permanently.

Toxins are stored in the fat cells. Anaerobic metabolism creates toxins. In your younger years, you are not yet saturated with toxins, so as soon as you exercise, your metabolism burns more fat, and the fat cells release their content. It's pretty simple.

But by the time your body is saturated with toxins, usually in the 30's but often in people much younger, your body cannot let go of the fat. That is because the toxins would also come out, and you would not be able to get rid of them. Your body is smart and will hold onto the fat. At that point, you are having a hard enough time getting rid of the toxins from each day's accumulation, let alone releasing toxins from years past. It is for that reason why you have to try a different method to lose weight.

But you have conditioned to exercise like mad. The problem is that the stress (anaerobic) metabolism is the very thing creating most of the toxins in the first place. It is probable that your anaerobic metabolsim is dominant, and it is very hard for you to make your oxygen metabolsim dominant again. Until your oxygen metabolism dominates, you will continuously produce a lot of toxins and keep gaining weight. But that is exactly what the FRTD does. It allows you to train your oxygen metabolism specifically, so that it can eventually take-over even when you are exercising.

If you are trying to lose weight, put most of your attention on making sure you train with your FRTD every night for several months. Keep your activity level about the same, but don't increase your exercise yet.

Exercise 7: Extending the Exhalation

Up to this point you have gotten comfortable with the device. If your health is poor, the first six lessons were a challenge, and you should be proud of yourself for making it this far. If you are in pretty good health, you will now begin to reap the benefits of the FRTD. How, you ask?

Most of the benefits come as you extend your exhalation. The longer you exhale, the more oxygen will move from your red blood cells into your heart, brain, kidney, liver, prostate, and every cell in your body. Suppose you can comfortably exhale for 10 seconds. After a couple minutes of warming up, you are going to shoot for 11 seconds. Simply exhale slower. Don't forget to keep your belly relaxed for most of the exhalation time, and to pull your belly towards your spine for the last couple seconds.

Inhalation remains the same. Always breathe in for around 2-3 seconds.

From this point on, you can increase your exhale time 1-2 seconds maximum per week . You can also increase your total training time 1-2 minutes maximum per week. If you ever feel short of breathe, you are exhaling too slowly.
