Health Matters 1: Brian Flatt and The 1 Week Diet

Brian Flatt

R.E.V. Fitness owner, Brian Flatt, is a famous California nutrition coach and weight loss pioneer behind such highly acclaimed and successful programs,

the 3-Week Diet and the 2-Week Diet. 

Both programs have "introduced hundreds of thousands of Americans to a new way of looking at weight gain and weight loss" (brochure).

Flatt's latest work is the 1 Week Diet--a "very fast program that delivers dramatic results within 7 days," remarks Flatt. 

It's based on "ancient Japanese knowledge"--which Flatt's grandfather discovered in World War 2--and "has been clinically tested in modern laboratories.” 

What's more, the program--like its two predecessors--doesn't "require heavy cardio, hours at the gym, starvation or odd eating habits."

Together with 3-Week Diet and 2-Week Diet, the 1 Week Diet is, to a large extent, Flatt's answer to "the rise in obesity in the English speaking world," which has become "an alarming epidemic."

“Clearly," Flatt continues, "people are becoming heavier for a variety of reasons," among which are "diet, stress, the proliferation of processed foods and a lack of understanding of how the body works."

The 1 Week Diet is a simple program that requires "no heavy exercise, starvation or strange foods."

One simply learns how to use his or her "body’s natural bio-chemistry to shed unsightly pounds."

The 1 Week Diet 

(Brochure Excerpts) 

The 1 Week Diet focuses on three main components to help dieters lose unwanted weight: diet, exercise, and mindset. Dieters learn what, when, and how to eat for optimized weight loss. They also receive supplement and exercise advice to accelerate the process. Finally, they develop the mindset—or willpower—to lose weight and keep it off. 

“There really is no magic bullet in the fitness world,” Flatt explains, “No pill, workout, diet or surgery that magically turns a person into a Greek god overnight.  Yet when you actually figure out how the body works to store fat, you can reverse engineer these processes and get them to work in the other direction.”

The 1 Week Diet--while similar to his other systems--does contain some unique information inspired by Flatt’s grandfather, Graham. Graham Flatt was shot down over Okinawa in WW2 and lived with an extremely healthy and long-lived Japanese family for several months.  There he learned about many ancient Japanese health and diet secrets that he’s shared with Brian.  

These ancient and proven secrets, combined with modern clinical testing, make up the majority of the 1 Week Diet.

Zecharia Sitchin's The 12th Planet: Chapters 13 and 14

[8th of 9 Parts]

Chapter 13 - “The End of All Flesh”

Sitchin states that the human beings were “merely upgraded” by the gods or Anunnaki from “an existing animal”--Homo erectus--“to suit their needs” (that is, to serve them “food and drink” or to toil “in the fields or on construction jobs” [366]).

These “first representatives of Homo sapiens were incapable of reproduction” (368), that is, they were “either sexless or sexually incomplete beings” (369). 

Enki, however, later produced a “ ‘perfect mold’ ” and human beings were given the capacity to procreate—what the Bible, Sitchin notes, terms the acquisition of “knowing” (370, 372).

Some 200,000 years later, the gods themselves found out that the daughters of human beings were attractive enough to become their wives or sexual partners. 

This caused Enlil’s disgust: the “spreading defilement of the gods themselves” (372). 

As a result, Enlil schemed to wipe humankind off the face of the Earth.

A forthcoming Great Deluge was in perfect accord with his plan.

Chapter 14 - “When the Gods Left the Earth”

The Deluge that occurred is encoded in texts more ancient than the Bible, such as “When the gods as men,” as well as the Epic of Gilgamesh. 

The “hero of the Deluge” in the former text is called Atra-Hasis; in the latter text, Utnapishtim (the “first Noah,” Sitchin remarks).

The Deluge, though, was not Enlil’s first opportunity to wipe humans off Earth. 

The Atra-Hasis text (in its Akkadian and Assyrian versions) tells that Enlil “called for the decimation of Mankind through pestilence and sicknesses,” then through “starvation” (390, 391). Enki, however, in both of the above instances, helped the human beings survive.

The Flood was the third answer to Enlil’s plan. 

But seven days before the Flood, Enki instructed Atra-Hasis to build  “a submarine” (395), and the rest was history.

Before the Flood came, the gods fled in their rocket ships and hovered on Earth.

The Flood was caused by the melting of and splashing down into the ocean of the ice caps in Antarctica; this occurrence was catalyzed by the gravitational pull of Nibiru when it neared Earth’s vicinity during its visit in circa 11,000 B.C. It brought about the abrupt collapse of the Ice Age (402).

If Nibiru helped catalyze the occurrence of the Great Deluge in 11,000 B.C., and the Nibiruans or Anunnaki aided the human beings’ progress towards civilization after the Flood, as Sitchin writes, then the Nibiruans must have aided human progress after the Flood thrice, that is, every time the planet visited Earth every 3,600 years: in 11000 B.C., 7400 B.C., and 3800 B.C. (—what Sitchin, in the third chapter of The Twelfth Planet, terms as the granting of civilization to humankind in a “one-two-three punch”).

Addendum:

In Dec. 2004, Zecharia Sitchin wrote: 

"Quoting the Sumerian, Akkadian and biblical texts, I pointed out that although heavy rains did follow as Earth's ice age abruptly ended, it was a tidal wave that caused the Great Flood.  It was a tidal storm from the south, from Antarctica, that sent walls of water crushing over all the ancient lands, taking more than a year to subside."

Chapter 11 - “Mutiny of the Anunnaki”

The chapter tells of, among other things, the mutiny of the rank-and-file Nefilim or Anunnaki who were working in the mines of Africa. 

Their complaint: “Excessive toil has killed us, / Our work was heavy, the distress much” (344, Sitchin quoting from Lambert and Millard’s Atra-Hasis: The Babylonian Story of the Flood, which was ”based on earlier Sumerian versions”).   

The response of Earth’s supreme commander, then, Enlil, was: kill the mutiny leaders or he would resign. 

But Anu (who came down from Heaven to hear the case) “sided with the Anunnaki” (334).

Ea/Enki then suggested that “Mami” (the “ ‘Birth Goddess’ ”) should “ ‘create a Primitive Worker’ ” who will “ ‘bear the yoke….,’ ” that is, will be made to work as miners (334). 

Mami responded that she “would need” Ea’s help, for it was with Ea that “ ‘skill lies’ ” (335).

This "mutiny of the gods had led to the creation of Man” (335). 

The date or year and place of the first human beings’ “creation”: 300,000 years ago, in Africa.

Chapter 12- “The Creation of Man”

This chapter (as well as chapter 13) answers the question of how the human being was created.

How was the human being created?

The “ovum of a female Homo erectus,” Sitchin specifies, “was fertilized by the genes of a god”; this was “then implanted within the womb of Ea’s spouse"--Ninki (358).

After the ‘model’ was obtained, duplicates of it were implanted in the wombs of birth goddesses, to undergo the process of pregnancy and birth” (358).

Thus, thousands of years ago, in Africa, the Anunnaki--with their knowledge of the DNA and genetic engineering--successfully upgraded Homo erectus into Homo sapien

The Anunnaki's success of "genetically engineering" Homo erectus into Homo sapien
implies that they had prior knowledge about DNA or its structure--as got depicted in
some ancient artifacts.

Zecharia Sitchin's The 12th Planet: Chapters 9 and 10

One of the reprint editions of  Sitchin's The 12th Planet ,
the basis of this article and  preceding ones..

[6th of 9 Parts]

 Chapter 9 - "Landing on Planet Earth"

Among the chapter’s highlights are:

First, Earth is the 7^th planet from Pluto. This is, according to Sitchin, how the Anunnaki counted the planets as they came out of outer space towards the outer planets (Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter) and maneuvered their way towards the inner planets—passing Mars by and landing on Earth.

Sitchin, thus, solves one puzzle regarding Enlil, supreme commander on Earth, who has been termed by King Gudea of Lagash as “the celestial 7 is 50” (259).

As Sitchin states, “The god Enlil, whose rank number” among the Anunnaki “was fifty, had as his celestial counterpart the planet that was seventh” (260).

Second, the voyage of the Anunnaki towards Earth is embedded in the text of the Epic of Creation, which was recited in ancient Mesopotamia’s Babylon at the New Year festival called the Akitu.

Third, Sitchin's discussion on an ancient text that purportedly showed the flight path of the Anunnaki as they descended on Earth (Figure 122, page 274; the illustration is reproduced below).

Chapter 10 - “Cities of the Gods”

The chapter specifies that the Anunnaki first landed on Earth “some 450,000 years ago,” in search of gold that they needed for their planet’s waning atmosphere.

Specifically, they landed when “about a third of Earth’s land was covered with ice sheets and glaciers” (284).

Thus, the “sea levels were also lower”—“as much as 600 to 700 feet lower than at present”—since “so much water had been captured as ice on the land masses” (284).

Sitchin remarks that these first settlers intended Earth “to be a permanent ‘home away from home’ ” (283). 

These settlers were called by the ancient Sumerians--not as “gods” but--as DIN.GIR, “the righteous/just ones of the rockets.” 

Sitchin surmises that the Anunnaki must have taken into consideration such factors as climate, water, fuel/energy, and landing site when they were thinking of settling on Earth. 

Mesopotamia had all these factors to a tee. 

It “offered proximity to not one but two seas—the Indian Ocean to the south and the Mediterranean to the west” (285-286). 

As “the first landings occurred during the second glacial period, when today’s Persian Gulf was not a sea but a stretch of marshlands and shallow lakes,” the Anunnaki took into account an Indian Ocean splashdown (287).

The Anunnaki’s first home was called E.DIN, “home of the righteous ones,” from which the word Eden is derived. 

Their first settlement on our planet was “at the edge of the marshes” in Mesopotamia (287). They called it E.RI.DU (“house in faraway built”), a term which we now use to call our planet Earth. 

As Sitchin further states, the term—Eridu—has entered into “all languages”:

         To this very day,  the  Persian  term  ordu  means

         ‘encampment.’ It is a word whose meaning has taken

         root in all languages: The settled Earth is called Erde

         in German, Erda in Old High German, Jordh in Icelandic,

         Jord in Danish, Airtha in Gothic, Erthe in Middle English;

         and, going back geographically and in time, “Earth” was

         Aratha or Ereds in Aramaic, Erd or Ertz in Kurdish,

         and Eretz in  Hebrew. (288)

Sitchin adds that the Anunnaki established Earth’s first seven cities, namely, Eridu, Bad-tibira, Larak, Sippar, Shuruppak, Larsa, and  Nippur.
