I've noticed lately that many of my cousins are losing weight ... the only cousin that actually is getting fatter is the one that's pregnant :( ... so, I've decided to go on a diet ... it's an "all natural" diet ... what does it consist of?

Whatever is "natural" for me to eat ...

"hey na - how about some chocolate?"
"sure! it's only natural for me to eat it!"


:headbang:
 
stop eating bread and pastas, stop drinking sodas.

you'll lose weight fast that way.
 
That's the diet the cousins are on ... no carbs.

Personally, having no carbs would be my own personal hell :D
 
Don't drink pop, eat candy/chocolate, and get rid of the chips. Once you did this, you WILL feel better, and you WILL remove a LOT of strain from your body, especially your pancreas.

Second, stop mixing meat with starch. Starch requires a base to digest (such as salivia), and meat requires an acidic environment. Simple chemistry will tell you it doesn't work. By keeping it separate you will notice an IMMEDIATE change. I didn't believe it at first, but it actually does do something for your body. It does remove a huge strain from the body and more food will be more efficiently digested. You CAN mix fruit and vegetables with either, because they provide their own enzymes for digestion.

Water and other liquids dilute digestive liquids. Don't drink during or for 2 or so hours after you ate. Drink a glass of water 10 - 15 minutes before you eat. You will initiate digestion and will eat less.

You don't even need to cut down on eating. Just the above will do wonders. :) If you want even more wonders, stop eating breakfast. Cereal companies love to tell you breakfast is the most important meal, but that is wrong. Your body has 3 cycles of around 8 hours each. Consumption, digestion, and elimination. Most people are in elimination phrase starting at around 2am in the morning until about 10am. During that time your body does a LOT of cleaning up. Eating a big breakfast of bacon, eggs, bread, orange juice violates all the above stuff, AND requires a crap load of energy to be diverted from cleaning.

You CAN eat fruit in the morning though, since it requires virtually no digestive power and will pass through the stomach in under 30 minutes.

Basically, do what nature does... You don't see lions eating leaves AND meat. You don't see cows eating meat AND grain. MOST animals eat either, not both. And if you look carefully, pets don't eat in the morning either, unless you trained them or forced them. My dog eat at night most of the time.

If you want more info, read Fit For Life. Very interesting book.
 
But I love meat & starch ... :(

Thanks for that post though, LL, gives me something to think about.
 
Wow LL I'm impressed. That's so much info.

I think I better go back to cutting out the starches from my diet again. Went off the starches for a little while and then it kinda slowly came back.

But exercise does wonders too! Of course, it took a broken heart, a cousin and a friend to encourage me but I did it! Of course the pounds aren't melting away like I want them to but I see the difference! :D Nothing like buying a pant-size smaller!!! :dance:
 
LL I am very very impressed .. but do you know what would impress me more ... if you told me how I could lose weight without having to do doing any of those things .. you know, the whole "diet and exercise" :D
 
If it exists it's natural. Some things have been put together by accident, others by mistake & many more on purpose, yet all things are natural.

If you wanna lose weight I have a sure fire way to do it, eat anything you want & make sure you use more calories than you ingest.
 
Mitch, why don't you stop mixing starch and meat for 3 weeks and see how you feel. Don't change anything else. Acid and bases don't mix. There are meat companies sponsoring nutritionists to spread their propeganda. The breakfast cereal companies pay the nutritionists.

Who on earth would think its healthy to eat cereal each morning if the cereal's first ingredient is sugar? You might as well grab the sugar and start eating it.
 
Oh and, meat isn't healty for you. Carnivores in nature has intestines 2 feet long or so (in case of a lion). In case of herbivotes, the intestine is almost 4 times as long... 8 to 10 feet. Reason? Well meat rots. Meat rots very fast and produces a lot of toxic waste. On the other hand, vegetables and plants, while they rot, don't rot as fast, and doesn't produce and toxic waste compared to meats.

In addition, meat requires more than 10 times the amount of energy to digest compared to fruits and vegetables. Digestion takes energy. Lots of energy to completely digest and excrete. In case of a lion, who sleeps 20 hours a day to digest, meat is excreted within 12 to 18 hours of consumption hence the short intestines.

Lions also have the ability to brake proteins down because they have a specific enzyme for it. Proteins break down into amino acids and are reassembled to be used as growth materials.

Herbivores are different. They eat a lot, and constantly. Lions eat once a day, herbivores eat almost always. They have a long intestine because vegetables and fruit and leaves can be almost completely absorbed, and does not rot really. They have specialized enzymes that break down cell walls, and absorb the amino acids directly. Notice: Fruit contain their OWN digestive enzymes. No digestive energies required.

Now humans... We don't have a 2 feet long intestine. We are nearer to 8 feet. We resemble every aspect of a herbivore. We don't absorb proteins. If we eat chicken, it is CHICKEN PROTEIN you are getting, not human protein. Our bodies does NOT absorb protein nearly as well as a carnivore. On the other hand, we DO have enzymes to break down plants based food, and we DO have a appendix to help with cellulose.

When you eat meat... how long does it stay in your body? When you take a crap, does it smell? Guess what, if you don't eat meat it doesn't smell. Plant based stuff don't rot, don't produce toxic waste (those that it produces is excreted almost immediately), and don't smell.

Now guess what!? When you eat vegetables and fruit, you take in enzymes and amino acids, already in a usable form for the body to built stuff with. Chicken and beef proteins builds beef muscle, not human muscle.

I'm a vegetarian for MOST part. I like eating meat for the taste every now and then, but it never sits well with me.

I honestly dare you. Eat NO meat, milk, eggs, butter for ONE month. No pop, NO sugar based shit, NO chips. Eat brown rice, vegetables, fruits, and so forth, for ONE month. Nothing for the first 4-5 hours after you wake up because you are in cleaning mode. After that, eat whenever you want. And drink lots of fruit juice and water. Especially freshly squeed carrot juice with a machine that can masticate the carrots (rip open the cell walls). For just ONE month.

Then, go and eat a big 1 inch steak with lots of beer, fries, ice cream, and all that shit. Within a few hours you are going to puke or worse. :) Try it, you will be VERY surprised.

And trust me, monosodium glutamate, sodium hexametaphosphate, potassium benzoate, etc., are NOT healthy.

I have not taken antibiotics in over 8 years. I get sick sometimes, and it is always because I screwed up with my eating habits. My mom follows the above to the letter. I have honestly never seen her sick for as long as I can remember. I'm not kidding! The only time she had to lie down was for laser eye surgery, and even that can be corrected if you eat properly.

Your body replaces it self every few months. With exercise and a good diet, you CAN heal everything, from AIDS to HIV to a common cold. Yes I have seen people that heal from HIV. And cancer. But you MUST stop killing your body first, and allow it to fight. A teaspoon of sugar kills your immune system for about 30 minutes. A pop kills it for 3 hours. 3 hours of vulnerability.

I can HONESTLY recommend this book. It is an eye opener, and everything is backed by studies and newspaper articles and documented evidence. It does show how some industries have exploited the market, as in the meat industry trying to sell the idea of a well balanced diet must include meat. Propeganda. Nothing in meat that you can't get from vegetables and nuts.

Oh and did I mention... You can eat as much fruit and vegetables and nuts as you desire, and your body will still repair itself and get rid of the extra toxic stuff we call fat, but only if you give it chance to. :)
 
One seriously nasty diet is that you can eat anything and everything you want. As much as you can stuff in. But, you wash down every meal with mineral oil.

Propaganda from the vegetarian side of the equation. Lets get back to Herbivores...

Herbivores, as you have stated, have longer intestines in order to keep the vegetable matter in their systems for a longer period of time. What you failed to mention was that herbivores also have much larger stomachs than human beings. You also fail to mention that most herbivores also have multiple stomachs in order to keep the plant protein in their systems for a longer period in order to absorb it. Human beings are OMNIVORES, just like other members of the primate family. We eat meat (too much, I'll admit) because our bodies need the animal protein. We CAN live off of a strictly vegetarian diet, but we do best with a mix.

Just a little-known fact...Dogs are also omnivores. They like a lot of meat, but they can live off of veggies as well. They won't be as happy, mind you, but they can fit in quite well with a vegetarian owner. ;)

Oh... and the part about toxic gasses had me rolling on the floor (spelled out for effect). If you think that smell from your 'ass-gas' is not as toxic as the smell from my *ahem* turd, you are sadly mistaken. Methan is methan is methane. Whether from beans or kidney pie, it's all the same.
 
^^^ try that diet for one month and then make a statement. I have personal experience from it. And um, not all herbivores have multiple stomachs. And, not all herbivores weigh 150 pounds. Some weigh 2,000 pounds. It is not vegetarian propeganda. Please don't dismiss it before trying it or at least reading the book. There are other books out there but this one I can vouch for personally.
