QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: ABOUT DIETING
Q. I don’t want to go on a diet, I’m thin enough.
A. Not all diets are weight-loss diets. The programs in this book are health-promoting programs. By optimising your health they automatically optimise your body weight and shape. If you are overweight, they bring your body weight down to normal, if you are under-weight, they will build your body weight up. If you are already at optimum weight, they leave you there, that is, providing you follow them properly.
Q. I’ve been dieting for some time. The Metabolism-Balancing Program includes more food than I’ve been having. I’ll freak if I put on weight.
A. If you need less food than is on these programs to hold yourself at your optimum weight, you are malnourished. Malnutrition produces metabolic imbalances which, in turn, cause fluid retention which manifests as weight increase. Fluid retention worsens over time if the metabolism isn’t balanced. While the metabolism is balancing itself, your weight will fluctuate up and down a bit. This is normal so don’t be concerned. When the metabolism has fully balanced, your weight will normalise, this should take only three to six weeks. Don’t get on the scales during this time.
We are what we think. If you focus on over-weight and get emotional (depressed) about it, over-weight is what you will get. If you put the scales away and focus on getting healthy and get emotional (excited) about it, optimum health is what you will get. Optimum body weight and shape is a spin-off of optimum health. To help ease your worries about putting on weight with these programs, don’t eat any nuts, limit your bread intake to two slices per day (eaten in the middle of the day) and don’t eat deep fried foods. Include nuts when your weight has normalised. If your weight doesn’t normalise on the Metabolism-Balancing Program you are retaining fluid because of Candida and/or allergies. The weight will normalise when they’re treated.
Q. I haven’t lost the weight I expected to on the Anti-Candida Program. Why haven’t I lost weight?
A. Reduce the size of your meals by 40 per cent. Over-size meals is the main reason body weight doesn’t normalise on these programs. Cut out nuts and deep fried foods until your weight normalises.
Q. If Formula Six is a concentrated food will I put on weight if I take them regularly? Do they contain many calories?
A. The calorie content of Formula Six is minuscule. It helps you lose weight by helping to raise your metabolic rate. It will never put weight on.
