First look at the ranges of a normal, healthy, adult person:
Stomach size 8-1 (In food eating contests the winner is almost always slim!)
Urine calcium excretion 6-1
Liver size 4-1
Insulin production 10-1
Estrogen production 12-1
Pituitary gland secretion 10-1
Saliva sodium 4-1
Saliva magnesium 5-1
and so on (Roger J Williams: Biochemical Individuality 1998)
Now the Recommended Daily Allowance assumptions:
* Adult, under 60 years old
* In good health
* Has perfect digestion
* Not overweight
* Totally stress-free
* No medical problems of any type
* Does not take any sort of medicine
* Eats a good, balanced diet every day
Is this you, or anyone you know?
OK, so?
When you are in overall ‘Normal’ health, get your stats recorded. Do this once in Summer and once again in Winter. Whatever those stats are, that’s Normal for you.
Should you fall sick they now have your Normal criteria as the goal to bring you back to.
You’re worth the effort!

]]>I hated corn.
But the girl who invited me was wonderful.
So I ate a little bit of corn each day.
And thought wonderful thoughts about her while doing so.
I started to appreciate the Taste, then the Texture, then …etc.
Soon I could eat an entire ear of corn and actually enjoy it.
It takes 3 weeks to go from I-hate-it to I-like-it. (See # 176)
That’s all it takes.
Ok, so?
Well there are many foods you ‘should’ eat you probably do not like and think you never will.
Have I mentioned it takes only 3 weeks to change that?
Don’t forget the reverse.
There are many foods you should NOT eat that you like.
Choose only one (to start)
Become extremely fussy with it.
Notice its minor flaws in taste, texture, etc…
In 3 weeks you will just not want to eat it.
And that’s not a long time compared to how long you have been eating it!

Consider:
First you chew to mix saliva with your food. Then swallow.
The stomach breaks that food /saliva mixture into separate nutrients.
Then the proper nutrients go to the proper parts of the body.
All this takes time.
While your stomach breaks these down, none is getting to the brain!
So the brain still sends out hunger signals.
While you are eating. And eating. And eating.
Because you are ‘still’ hungry.
So take a sugar based appetizer 15 minutes before your meal. That goes to your brain within a couple of minutes. Your brain then sends ‘full’ signals to you.
Or eat very slowly. That also gives you time to get the first nutrients to the brain to trigger a full feeling.

Eat Chinese food and a couple of hours later you’re hungry again.
Diversity triggered you to feel full, not bulk.
Your mind registers diversity.
Get into the habit of diversity. Make a conscious effort to do this.
Then you’ll unthinkingly eat across a broad spectrum.
And not lots!
Set up a habit, consciously.
The effort at the beginning is the only effort required. Habit then takes care of you.
Just as it always has.
I mentioned the weight loss benefits. The health benefits are even greater.

If only these were a perfect complement to our body.
But they aren’t.
And, if only there was a way to test for this.
But there isn’t.
So what to do?
Simple.
Variety is the absolute best answer.
Buy your (same) vitamins from 3 or 4 different brands and mix them up in a larger container.
Then when you take that vitamin you’ll be taking a slightly different composition each time. Or maybe not.
Same with food.
Buy from different suppliers and you’ll get product from different areas of the countries. This gives you different ratios of trace elements and minerals.
Since I’m doing this my overall well being dramatically increased.
Those people who travel extensively know exactly what I mean.

Try the South Beach diet for a week-less-a-day
Then Indulge. Anything you want on that one day off!
Then do a different diet for one week-less-a-day
Then, you guessed it, indulge for one day.
Then yet a different diet (Zone, Suzanne Summers, Atkins, Grapefruit, whatever)
Repeat with four different diets for four weeks total.
You’ll have fun, learn about different diets and lose a lot of weight in that month!
The difference, variety, once-a-week indulgence and non-boredom is what causes almost everyone to do it for the whole month.

Eat too much? Ten minutes before a meal: 2 glasses of water one-after-the-other.
Drank too much? 2 glasses of water one-after-the-other.
Developing a headache? 2 glasses of water one-after-the-other.
Ladies just before/during that time: 2 glasses of water one-after-the-other TWICE a day.
All too often we underestimate something because of its simplicity.
This solution has served me very well for many, many years and I’m always surprised so few people know about it. The feedback I get when people actually do it confirms it.
Suffer, take a pill or try 2 glasses of water one-after-the-other and see for yourself.
What have you got to lose!
