Sometimes on the boards.. I see posts where people increase veggies, eat less starch or increase exercise or do both, or even fast to lose the last 10 pounds. Some people count calories. I have practiced Fast Five, where you eat within a five hour window, fasting the other 23 hours. I felt it cut down on my volume easting. And the gift was giving my digestive system a rest. I have been at what I considered my goal weight, and then gained 10 to 20 pounds. In all I lost a hundred pounds and I am no way every going back there:) It depends on how restrictive you want to be, or emotionally you can be. You can escalate your weight loss for your doctor. When our body creates a plato, I feel it is for a reason, which is totally beyond my limited perception. This is a body, mind social disease.
I have had the hardest time understanding veggies are a condiment, just as there is no such thing as moderation. I work food and money together where I am conscious the addiction dominos stop. In being a Starch Based the best revenge in dealing with life on life's terms, is to be happy and healthy. The game changer Is the Satiety from the Starch because This too will pass. Everything is renewed for the very first time. Food costs can be as little as 3 or 4 dollars a day. This being a body, mind and social game turn around. it is Yes, No/know and Wait. Every cell within our body is negotiates for it's self Interest while at the same time what is best for the Whole. As Dr. McDougall shares the body is constantly trying to heal itself.
When at the doctor.. know there is a dance, and in the dance it is to be the feeder (the satiety of the starch allows this), the feeder sets the unspoken rule, as Dr. McDougall say's "It's the Food". Today the solution has to be health first money second. We are all transparent. We all have matching junk that transcends into matching allurement of I am you/you are me. That is the red flag that is going up. There is no such thing as scarcity/other. We are a non-duel One. Our body runs on a gifted currency that doesn't have to be repaid. Every molecule in our body knows it runs on a debit free card because it knows it's the Whole. The upper organs don't charge the lower organs for the body fluids it uses. That is the unconscious payoff that is becoming conscious. Jeff Novick in his Calorie Density dvd, which can be watched online for a limited time, shares we subconsciously eat the same amount of WEIGHT of food daily. When feeling subjective, it is important to go abstract. Remember you are the feeder. Being the feeder you have nothing to sell because "It's the food".
I love this from "The End of Heart Disease" by Dr. Fuhrman. As he shares the economic, energy and climate crisis we are now facing. Our body depends on our view of our environment as the change happens from within of knowing only seeing sees:
If all the physicians in the United States gave their patients the information contained in this book about reversing heart disease through superior nutrition and about the drawbacks of medical care, we would be faced with an interesting set of outcomes. Most patients would get well; their heart disease would resolve and not require medical services. So doctors and hospitals would lose most of their business, and pharmaceutical companies would lose billions of dollars. People would have to be retrained for new careers, as a multibillion-dollar industry involving hospitals, health-care workers, drugs, and medical supply and equipment manufacturers would lose most of their customers. It’s not a likely scenario, but I’m sure you can imagine the economic and social uproar that would occur. Obviously, there is, and will continue to be, strong resistance to this approach.
That said, the science doesn’t lie, and the choice is yours to make.
