Diets do not work. Among the habitancy who do them, 99% of the habitancy gain the weight back. Also the stress of not eating as much as you want makes your system more acid. This is bad for health and causes you to crave more sugar, salt and fat. Then eating these things you crave, causes you to hate yourself and come to be more stressed out. But many of the foods you like are acquired tastes.
Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. The animal knows instinctively what is good to eat and what is bad to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be salutary for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.
I love eating Cabbage Crunch from the salad bar at Whole Foods. They are the largest natural foods supermarket chain in the country. Cabbage Crunch contains red and green cabbage, sliced almonds, poppy seeds, scallions (green onions), apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Cabbage is one of the healthiest foods for colon health and preventing cancer.
One time I got some. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I spit it out. It was spoiled. But I got my money back and they had someone go there to remove it. Please note that salt can dull your sense of taste.
But wait! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like salutary food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note-- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat. Just taste all things raw and you will spit out the toxic plants since they will taste horrible.
There are poisonous mushrooms called toadstool mushrooms. If you put some raw ones in your mouth, you will spit them out since they taste horrible. But cook them and add salt and you can eat sufficient of them to kill you. Carnivorous animals love the taste of blood and raw meat since that is what they are supposed to eat.
So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature, but it is addictive, fattening and terrible for health. It is called sweets. So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does. But they have fooled your sense of taste, just like the rat was fooled. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to come to be obese so you will buy more of their foods. This is called good business.
You can re-acquire your taste in food and re-learn how to eat. Then you can eat all the great tasting foods you want and be thin, salutary and fit for life. See my website below for more on this and info on good carbs and bad carbs. www.phifoundation.org
