Modified guidlines for my Journey

The Natural Weight-Loss System

... In a Nutshell ...

Ø  Change to The Ideal Diet, ideally avoiding all cooked food

Ø  Minimize sweet fruits

Ø  Minimize dried fruits

Ø  Emphasize vegetables

Ø  Minimize nuts and seeds, and eat them early in the day

Ø  Minimize avocados, or eliminate them altogether for a while

Ø  Eat only 2 meals a day, if that feels comfortable

Ø  If eating 3 meals a day, make your breakfast of fruit; and take vegetable salads for lunch and dinner

Ø  Take your meals at regularly scheduled hours: establish a routine that your body can adjust to and thrive on

Ø  Avoid all snacking between meals

Ø  Take the evening meal no later than 6:00 pm

Ø  Eat monomeals occasionally

Ø  Fast for one full 24-hour period each week

Ø  Once a month if it is possible, fast for one full 3-day period, on a weekend when you can rest

Ø  Follow the Ideal-Juice Diet for 1-10 days on lower calorie fruit and vegetable juices, taken sparingly and always freshly made

Ø  Dine only if you are in Emotional Balance

Ø  Practice “The Get-Well Slow-Down Behaviors” with every meal

Ø  Keep a food journal and a “personal thoughts” diary to become more aware of your eating habits and motivations for overeating

Ø  Exercise regularly; and include stretching, aerobics, and weight-training to the extent you are capable.  Emphasize aerobics to increase calorie output

Ø  Exercise instead of having breakfast or lunch or dinner

Ø  WHEN TIRED, THEN TAKE TIME TO REST! DO NOT EAT FOR STIMULATION!! THIS COULD BE YOUR GREATEST DOWNFALL!!!

Ø  Join a support group that does not base its program on The SAD Diet.  Overeaters Anonymous, Natural Hygiene Support Groups, and some church groups may be of great use

Ø  Create a support system of family members and friends

Ø  PRACTICE ALL “THE ENERGY ENHANCERS” AND AVOID ALL “THE ENERGY ROBBERS”!!!

Ø  Study and restudy Hygienic material concerning “The Natural Weight-Loss System.”  Refer to it daily until it becomes part of your daily practice.
