And humanity is here to test and break those rules and to find ultimate freedom. That doesn't mean that we are here to be rebellious and purposely create havoc and tick people off, on the contrary. Eating for 3, literally, and expecting our body to say "thank you" and for us to feel free hardly is called freedom. So let's be realistic and not fool ourselves. Because we are also told that "The greatest one of these is love. Love never fails."<br /><br />Given that gem of wisdom, why then do 95% of all diets continue to fail us? Probably because there isn't a lot of love in those diets or perhaps in the way we use these diets<br /><br />Let's instead tackle this issue of being overweight with the fabric of love rather than trying to squeeze ourselves into someone else's diet box - especially since we now know that our ultimate purpose is to defy those rules.<br /><br />Here are 3 things you can do to start being more loving with yourself.<br /><br />1. The nutritional label reading thing: it's gotta go. I believe that we are made to believe that by reading those things we are gods who then can force our bodies into creating different chemical components for our bodies. Reading the ingredients is a much better and simpler approach. The less ingredients the better the product. And make sure you understand them, because so will your body understand them.<br /><br />2. Stay away from foods that say "fat free," or "light." Look at a bag of candies, often they now say "fat free" and that may be true. However, the content of these bags are pure chemicals mixed with some corn byproduct, which your body has absolutely no idea what to do with it. So it turns it into pure body fat. Just because you give your body a fat free product doesn't mean that your body won't convert it into fat. Remember that your body is a pure chemical laboratory and it can create anything it needs or has to in order to protect itself from harm. Your body's one purpose is for it to stay healthy for as long as you allow it, so it can carry you through life in order for you to carry out your life's purpose. All we have to do is learn to get out of its way, to stop playing God and to listen to what our bodies tell us.<br /><br />3. Do not buy "fake foods" that are pretending to be something but are not. Good examples are "I can't believe it's not something" If the box says "I can't believe it" - it's just that simple: don't believe it! Because neither will your body. So instead of artificial sweeteners, give it organic honey or natural cactus sweetener from raw plants. Birch sugar is another great, but expensive, alternative, and is also safe for diabetics. Your body knows exactly what you feed it and can digest it and transform it to the perfect nutrition. Giving it alternative junk will put a big question mark in the processing of the foods you eat, which only serves to confuse and slow down your body, or reject it all together.</div><div class="uawresource"><div style="font-style: italic;" class="uawabout"><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div class="uawlinks">Chaszey Sandhriel is a trainer and seminar leader empowering women to look, feel and be their best.
