In this first lesson I am going to show you how simple
eating healthy really is.
The confusion about eating healthy and dieting will
now be cleared up, all in one easy sentence. Are you
ready? Everyone is different.
What is healthy for one person is not going to be the
best diet for everyone else. You are different than
everyone else. What food is best for you is not necessarily
going to be what is right for everyone else. Some people
do well on meat, others don't. Some people are fine
with lots of carbs, others not. What food is best for
you is really dependent on you and your lifestyle.
I will make it really simple to help you figure out
what is good. There are a couple of general rules of
thumb that apply to everyone. They are really simple.
Are you ready?
1. Fresh
2. Pure
It is that simple. All the food you eat, no matter
what kind you eat, should be fresh and pure. It is that
simple. Then, just listen to your inner knowing, and
it will tell you what to eat that is fresh and pure.
If you are craving steak, eat steak. If you want veggies,
eat veggies. If you want some fruit, eat fruit. If you
want some nuts or seeds, eat nuts and seeds. When your
choices of food are always from the fresh and pure categories,
you will eat exactly what you need to eat without having
to worry about your carbs, calories, fat, cholesterol,
or anything. It's so simple.
So what does fresh mean? Fresh generally means not
in a can or box. Most things that are put into cans
and boxes are old and dead. The life force has been
long gone from the food. It is no longer fresh. Now,
stuff in a box or can may be fresh, but it usually isn't.
Frozen stuff can go either way. Frozen stuff is usually
fresher than boxed or canned stuff. It has to be, because
it cannot last as long frozen as it can in a box or
can.
What does Pure mean? This means nothing artificial
and nothing added, including poisons, pesticides or,
one of the biggest culprits, refined carbohydrates,
commonly called sugar. Sugar is added to almost everything
in a regular grocery store. Even many things in a supposed
"health food store" have sugar added. Pure
usually includes the food being organic. It is my position
that if a food product meets the categories of both
fresh and pure, it is not inherently bad, ever.
There is no one food that is right for everyone and
there is no food that if fresh and pure, is wrong for
everyone either. Some people are better off not eating
late at night, others are. Some people do well skipping
breakfast, others don't. Some people do well with three
big meals, others do better snacking all day long. Some
do better with variety, some do better with the same
thing over and over again. It is really different for
everyone.
Choose foods that you want to eat, that sound good
to you that are fresh and pure. Listen to your inner
wisdom and what it is telling you to eat, and you will
be just fine. And Coincidentally, eating healthy and
resetting your weight-o-stat is the only permanent "weight
loss" solution.
