Diet

We are what we eat. In fact, what we eat has an affect on the sustainability of the planet.

We are what we eat on two levels. There is the physical aspect of the food being converted into the necessary fuels needed by the body. The food often becomes us as it is stored as reserves or deposits.

There is the spiritual aspect of eating the foods we know create the healthiest body possible and more importantly refusing to eat the foods that create ill health and disease.

I have never believed in diets as they are popularized by creating fast weight loss through special techniques. In my youth, I pretty much ate all the good food and bad food without discrimination.

At a certain point, we realize exercise and our youthful metabolism  are no longer going to keep us lean. Over the last several years I learned that regardless of how hard I exercised, my body would not reduce the fat.

I found that only diet and even in spite of exercise or not will reduce body mass. I began to eat healthier and eliminate more bad food. Each year for the last several years I have reduced weight and felt healthier.

I have preferred to find foods that I enjoyed and were also healthy and not have to reduce quantities to a great extent. As time passed, I have enjoyed cleaner and eating less. It is a gradual progression that is also a spiritual appreciation of what happens to the mind, body and spirit when we explore the best foods available.
