If you have a friend struggling with a weight problem . . .
Send them this note from my heart.
Boy do I know the pain of constantly putting on the pounds no matter what you do. I put on an additional 20 lbs., when I went on a low fat diet. Nobody told me those foods were processed with fillers, starches and really bad stuff. I never read a label because I could NOT pronounce most of the words, let alone know what they meant.
Thank heavens a friend said, Look them up! What? They are not in the standard dictionary. Lucky the internet had come along and you can look up almost anything.
However, you have to be cautious and verify the source. Hate to burst your bubble but not everything you read on the web is the truth.
Learn as I did, to EAT for the FARM not a factory. Eat foods that get their ENERGY from the Sun and their nutrients form Mother Earth. Stop consuming dead dust and chemicals form a factory. Industrialized food is what is killing us. Get back to Nature and fill your body with LIVING organisms.
My story is long but one I hope will help you find a way for you to put cravings behind you. Read it first then proceed to the forms (also attached at the end of this article) I have created to help you find what you truly love and want to eat.

NOTES about your many forms. They are meant to guide you on your path to proper weight management. Print as many copies as you need. Feel free to email me with any questions. And, if you live in Wichita Kansas or the surrounding area you can book a free one-hour consultation and even a private cooking lesson in your own kitchen.
Wonder why I want to know your favorite color? Do we not eat FIRST with out eyes? Yes, we do. Let me give you an example. A young friend has stopped at my home for a visit. Since it was nearly lunch time I offered to feed her. She accepted. I asked if soup and salad would be ok and she said yes.
I asked what her favorite color was. She looked at me with a question on her face. I said, I'm checking to see what kind of soup you might like. She laughed and said I am sure you do NOT have PINK soup. My reply was oh yes I do.
She was polite enough not to ask what it was. But I knew she was young enough that she most likely would not like Beet Greens.
If you haven't guessed by now, she LOVED her PINK soup, nearly licking the bowl clean. You should have seen the look on her face when I handed her the recipe as she was leaving.
I HATE beets she proclaimed. I just smiled and asked if she planned to make this soup in the future. YES, she exclaimed and asked, you say I should buy small beets? Yes, and gave her a copy of page 56 in Volume 5 so that she might also try eating the fresh sweet bulbs as well.
With Pink being her favorite color I could have served her my Roasted Red Pepper Soup, if I had had any in the freezer. As it is pink and creamy. Recipe on page 48 in Volume 4.
So you see even if you think you hate something -- give it a try. Maybe adding flavors you do like -- fill out your Food Preferences sheet it will help guide you. And will open your eyes to so many new possibilities and all of them will be flavors and textures you already like.
Yes, you need to take a food inventory as well as make a list of all your kitchen equipment. How else are you going to . . . know what you have and what you need.
You'll notice your food Shopping List has more space for Produce and less for canned and dry goods Why? Neither come direct from the FARM they come from a factory.
Why list your medications and supplements? They can have a huge impact on your food plan. It is also a good idea to make a copy of both and carry one in your billfold and one in the glove box of your car. These should be kept up to date at all times. Every time you go to the doctor or pharmacy you should ask them to make a copy of both so they have it on file. Some supplements can interfere with your meds.
I know everyone HATES keeping a Food Diary but once again how will you know what is working and what is not. It truly only takes a couple of seconds to jot down what, when and how it made you feel. If you don't want to use the big sheet I offer, then buy a $1 note pad to carry in your pocket. It is critical you come to understand every morsel and sip you ingest.
I truly want you to feel as GOOD as I do !Have more energy, a clearer mind and a brighter outlook. When you feel better you will do better, I PROMISE!!!!!
And don't forget Laughter is good for the soul, mind and body.
