- Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health
- We don’t all have the ability to sing out over a racing train, but we do have the power
- In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities:
- It is nutrient-rich food the places a sparkle in the eye, luster in the hair,
- The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature
- To be free from pain through an injection or a pill has nothing to do with
- We live and boast of what we own; We die . . . and only get a stone.
- The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness;
- Constipated despite a real food diet, detox, exercise, water (and more)?
- A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.
Counting Calories?
“If the clothes fit, who cares what the scale says.” This is something I’ve had to tell several of my clients. They literally drive themselves crazy (on a daily basis) by trying to stay a certain weight. So WHAT if you are a pound or two heavier! It could be any number of reasons…
- what you are eating
- water retention
- backed up waste – the average person carries at least 10+ pounds of it
- working out? Muscle is heavier than fat.
It is possible to eat more and weight less. Anyone can lose weight on fewer calories and you don’t need to pay a celebrity endorsed diet program to tell you so!
In the book, The China Study, Dr. Campbell compares the caloric intake of the least active Chinese to that of average Americans. He found the Chinese caloric intake to be 30% higher, yet their body weight was 20% lower than that of the Americans. He came to the conclusion that the “secret” to their optimal weight was that Chinese office workers travel on bicycle and their diet consists of low fat and low-protein. Diets high in fat and protein transfer calories from conversion to storage. Whereas, a low fat and protein diet allow the calories to be lost as heat. This is known as Thermogenesis – the production of body heat during metabolism.
Vegetarians also experience this benefit. They have a higher metabolism at rest – the calories are released via body heat rather than being deposited as body fat. Calories aside… weight gain from excess animal protein is the least of your worries.
I have heard one doctor call high-protein, high-fat, low carbohydrate diets “make yourself sick” diets, and I think that’s an appropriate moniker. You can also lose weight by undergoing chemotherapy or starting a heroine addiction, but I wouldn’t recommend those, either. T. Colin Campbell, PhD
**Please know that we need fat and protein, especially raw fat (coconuts, nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut oil, etc). A balanced meal is crucial to optimal weight, optimal health and feeling satisfied after meals. This is not accomplished by extreme dieting.
