Hey guys!!
I NEED A DIET!!! I'm exercising like 3 times a week.. 1 to 2 hours every time.
I'm addicted to food.
I love veggies.
I'm not so much of a meat eater..(sometimes chicken)
I love to eat and i need to lose like 10~15~17 pounds for the summer!!!!!!!!!
Open to suggestions!!!
Thanks!

Chantale,

I have found that the only people who need to go on a "diet" are those with medical problems such as diabetes or food allergies. What most of us need is not a diet, but good eating habits. I suggest that you look at another topic in this forum called Good Eating Guidelines. The reason most people are overweight is because they eat more calories than their body is able to use, so it stores the excess as fat.

Why not start following the guidelines and see what happens? Especially should you drink plenty of water, keep exercising, and don't eat anything, not even a piece of fruit or candy, between meals. This last item alone would help most people loose weight. It helped me. When I cut out the between meal eating, the weight started to come off. It is also better for the digestive system.

I, too, discovered that when I started drinking more appropriate amounts of water and not snacking, I lost weight! Of course, once I started snacking again.... I need to get back on track!

I just saw a great program on 3ABN just now with Dr Hans Diel MD.

He and two families of people who have completed the Chip Program, gave a very helpful program.

How to reverse the negative impacts upon your health & physique. Even in spite of severe prior heart disease & type2 diabetes & allergies & more.

Even some talk about getting local community institutions and resturants involved. There might be a possibility to create a local base of sponcership to off set the cost of C.H.I.P. .

I remember learning @ Wildwood (in the 70's) that in the 1900-1920 era American Medicine was poised to go the preventive and source of health direction with SDA input as the leader. Or treat the symptoms only style allopathic medical guilds, that became the AMA. America went to what became the AMA . Our continent has never seen wide spread health care, the way God told it to the SDA people so long ago.

Check out the information from (3ABN) www.3ABN.com & Chip & www.bclifestylecenter.com & www.weimar.org & www.reversingdiabetes.org & www.somethingbetternaturalfoods.com and so on.

A toll free number for info was given. Chip Summit 866-732-8447.

I saw the same program on 3ABN the same time as you did.

They are also at our Maritime Conference Campmeeting last summer and gave an excellent C.H.I.P. seminar.

We just returned from a meeting in Moncton, NB where a Baptist minister spoke on the original human diet. He said we need to return to the diet of Genesis 1:29 which says, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

Therefore, Chantale, and others, this is the diet we need to return to.

It is also interesting to note that in Genesis 1:30 God also gave a diet to the beasts, fowls, etc. in saying, "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."

What would the diet of Genesis 1:29 translate into today?

In other words, what food today would come under this diet?
