I was in the bookstore the other day and I always find myself at the self development section. I love reading books on ways to improve myself and in particular spiritually. I could recommend so many books, but I won't do that here. Maybe I'll do a post in the future.
Right next to the section I love is an entire wall of diet books. I'm not talking about one or two shelves, I'm talking about a complete wall from top to bottom of all kinds of diet books. I knew there were a lot of diets out there, but this blew my mind. The next time you're in a book store check out this section.
What I found fascinating was that there are so many experts on the subject and they all have their own slant on diets. The juicing, the veggies, the low carb, the low cholesterol, the low salt, the high protein, the low fat and the list goes on from there. Wow, that is a lot to digest and on top of that who do you believe? I'm sure all these diets work for someone or have worked for people that will try anything to lose weight. I do believe there is a better way.
Through my experience with nutrient dense food I have realized one thing, you don't need to diet. What everyone needs to do is provide the body with nutrition. I know I've said this in previous posts, but could it be any simpler than that? Nutrition plays a huge role in our lives and yet the majority of Americans lack this one key ingredient in their diets. If the food you consumed contained ample amounts of nutrition then you wouldn't need to go on a diet.
Every time I hear the word diet I can't help but think of a time frame. When you start a diet, there of course, is a beginning and then there is an end. In your mind you know that you will be a stopping this diet at some point and then what? Most people that go on diets always retreat back to their old ways because they are not mentally prepared to change their lifestyle. Well, they are for a short time, but it never lasts.
All of the diet books on these shelves usually contain recipes that go along with their particular diet. Like the Atkins diet of eating steak and eggs and bacon. Yummy! It sounds good until you realize that a diet of these foods will kill you faster because of the bacteria, e-coli 157:H7, hormones, antibiotics and steroids that they are laced with. You also have to take into account the time to shop, prepare, eat and clean up from all of these special foods that are on your diet.
I have basically thrown out every cookbook that I own because I now eat with such simplicity that I don't need any fancy cookbooks. The protocol on our "7 Day Super Food Challenge" is so convenient, so effective and so affordable that I have turned eating healthy into a habit. If I wrote a cookbook to go on that wall in the bookstore it wouldn't take up much space. How could it because it would only be one page. Do yourself a favor and try something that will actually change your life, not for a couple of weeks, but for a lifetime. It only takes 7 seven days and you won't believe the difference in how you feel. You deserve to give your body the best chance you can at optimal health. Let me show you what is working for many people as they now have made the switch from diet to lifestyle change.
