Following Fad Diets To A Tee


We see diet trends come and go. We hear them being touted. We once spoke to someone that had success. We buy and try and don't lose weight. Why do we keep on doing the same things that bring us the same failures?

I try to keep with with diet fads and diet scams. A new one advertised on TV is actually called, "Eat All You Want And Still Lose Weight". They said they couldn't say it on TV unless it was true. They bought an Internet domain name and added the .com after it. Many will remember URL although it is ridiculously long.

Today a new urban slang word was published. It is
locavore meaning, A person whose diet focuses on foods grown and produced nearby, typically 100 miles. See also 100-mile diet. It is used like this, "Robin wanted to be a locavore, so he only bought food that was grown on local farms." Obviously Robin lives in a rural farming area that knows not the four seasons. If he doesn't this plan will work for lack of food resources. Obviously the only way to lose weight is to take in lower amounts.

It stymies me as to why we all seek an easier way than what God caused the body to react to. Moderate portions, and the common sense to quit eating before a stuffed feeling.

I rest my case if you have ever tried some of the more humorous diets like the grapefruit diet or the cabbage soup diet. That is restricting and cannot be kept up with at length. Find God's healthy plan for you. God is not a fad. He has been around forever, wouldn't you say? That is good enough for me and for you also.
