Got Too Much Weight?

No doubt carrying a few extra pounds around can make us feel handcuffed.

Paul said: “What I want to do I do not do, but what I do not want to do this I keep on doing.”

Another way of saying this is that we are built to break rules. As humans we are meant to find freedom and testing and breaking those rules is part of this human experience. Does this mean that we are here to be stubborn and purposely create drama to get people upset - of course not. However, eating a meal big enough for 3, and then hoping that our bodies love us for it can not be called true freedom. We have to remember that we do live in the real world and there are consequences to all of our actions. At the same time, we are told that the greatest commandment is love and that love never lets us down.

Given that gem of wisdom, why then do 95% of all diets continue to fail us? Probably because there isn’t a lot of love in those diets or perhaps in the way we use these diets

Let’s instead tackle this issue of being overweight with the fabric of love rather than trying to squeeze ourselves into someone else’s diet box - especially since we now know that our ultimate purpose is to defy those rules.

Here are 3 ways you can immediately put to practice in order to show your body more love:

1. Do not read nutritional labels, they are misleading and your body is not programmed to function based on a bunch of numbers. Instead learn how to read the ingredients. The fewer ingredients the better. If you can understand the ingredients and know what they are, so does your body.

2. Stay away from foods that say “fat free,” or “light.” Look at a bag of candies, often they now say “fat free” and that may be true. However, the content of these bags are pure chemicals mixed with some corn byproduct, which your body has absolutely no idea what to do with it. So it turns it into pure body fat. Just because you give your body a fat free product doesn’t mean that your body won’t convert it into fat. Remember that your body is a pure chemical laboratory and it can create anything it needs or has to in order to protect itself from harm. Your body’s one purpose is for it to stay healthy for as long as you allow it, so it can carry you through life in order for you to carry out your life’s purpose. All we have to do is learn to get out of its way, to stop playing God and to listen to what our bodies tell us.

3. Do not buy “fake foods” that are pretending to be something but are not. Good examples are “I can’t believe it’s not something” If the box says “I can’t believe it” - it’s just that simple: don’t believe it! Because neither will your body. So instead of artificial sweeteners, give it organic honey or natural cactus sweetener from raw plants. Birch sugar is another great, but expensive, alternative, and is also safe for diabetics. Your body knows exactly what you feed it and can digest it and transform it to the perfect nutrition. Giving it alternative junk will put a big question mark in the processing of the foods you eat, which only serves to confuse and slow down your body, or reject it all together.
