Natural Weight Loss - Healthy Fried Food
By Merri Scott
Well not really, but there is a way to enjoy rich, oily foods without worrying
so much about what it does to our hearts and weight.
Our latest Global Health Secrets course here at the farm focused on several
fundamentals that made it easier to improve our health.
Fundamental #1 is "Medicine
is dose." Taking too much of anything is as bad as having too little.
Fundamental #2 was "We have finite amounts of energy". The body
prioritizes how we use what we have. When we do one thing, we pay a price
somewhere else! Put this with the first fundamental and we can see that too
many changes in diet, exercise or thinking rarely work for long.
Fundamental #3 "As above, so below". If we are feeling good, every
cell in our body knows it and feels good too. When we feel bad, vice versa.
Based on these fundamentals, the course examined many little enjoyable ways
to start improving our health. One of these ways is to alter cooking habits
so we can have the richness of oil yet making our favorite foods delicious
yet healthy!
What? Greasy foods healthy? Can they? Yes. In fact we need fat in our diets,
especially in autumn and winter (John
Douillard's "Three Season Diet" explains
why). Medicine is dose and too little fat can be as bad as too much. Plus
it's not much fun eating dry tasteless food.
Let's make food delicious instead! One of the most frequent compliments
at the farm is how delicious the food is. Delegates are surprised to find
that a healthy diet can be rich, oily and tasty. This message Merri shares
a cooking secret that saves time, makes cooking easier, food more delicious
and saves money as it reduces calories.
This is important because the three foundations of health (and the foundation
of wealth is good health) are nutrition, exercise and consciousness. Nutrition
comes first yet recently a USA Today article entitled "Obesity in America" shows
us that our diet is worse than ever! The article pointed out that 64.5% of
American adults (more than 120 million people) are overweight or obese.
The same issue had another article entitled "By the millions kids keep
gaining pounds". This shows that 30% of American kids are already overweight
and the frightening aspect is that fat kids usually become fat adults!
Yet in the same week this same newspaper explained that the newest rave
food in America has risen from the county fair, "Deep Fried Twinkies!" How
can our consciousness rise if our system is overloaded with toxins and weighted
down with indigestible foods? Yet how can we enjoy rich foods? How can we
exercise when we are lugging around tens or even hundreds of pounds of extra
weight?
So the first step to better health usually begins with improvements in the
diet. Take Merri's tip below and start to improve your health in an easy
and enjoyable way! Until next message, good health to you! Gary
Rich, Delicious Food that tasty and healthy is a goal that I continuously
seek. Since I believe that all men really love rich food (especially Gary!),
we need a very, very easy solution to this important taste. Just simply change
a bit the stir fried food and the sauteed foods. Simply steam the vegetables
in a bit of water in a frying pan...quickly to the desired doneness. Then
add the rich flavorful Extra Virgin Olive Oil (it only takes a tiny bit)
to the dish just as you serve. This is simple, easy and uses half as much
oil yet gives full bodied flavor!
much love to all,
