Dieting
			Hey, If This is So Good For Me, Why Does It Feel So Lousy?
			Millions of dieters have spent decades proving that this doesn't work:
			What you've been up against: mentally: a lifetime of stale information on which you formed unhealthy habits an estimated 4,000 commercial messages invading your space everyday Health Headlines - a weekly load of contradictory news you can't use brain freeze - electrical short out  from tiring attempts to short out conflicting information, old and new results: no decision made, no action taken, except maybe some aspirin physically: Sudden reduction in combustible input (going on a diet) puts your body in Famine Mode, so it tries to store fat, not burn it. Your metabolism goes down, your attempt to start an exercise program gets overridden by a survival instinct to conserve energy. Add to this the fact that almost every beverage other than water might contain water, but also contains enough diuretics to create chronic dehydration, making movement uncomfortable if not painful. No amount of superficial argument (mind over matter, determination, discipline, will power, self-control) can over rule the basic, deep message your body sends that what you are doing is bad for you, so stop it.

What Feels Good Is Habit Forming

eat when you feel hungry
Eat enough to maintain a sense of abundance - you
are safe, there is plenty of food around so it is okay
to relax and hey, burn some fat.
Eat Real Food as soon as you feel hungry.

drink before thirsty
Your thirst message is more of an alarm than a subtle
hint. Drink plain water, BEFORE you feel thirsty. Staying
lubed makes movement a pleasure, prevents
headaches, other aches and pains, asthma attacks,
helps body communicate to itself as messages are
conducted through water.

Rejoice! It is cheap and easy to please almost 80% of
you - just add water. The quickest way to wake up? Plain
water first thing, help your dehydrated brain to
CONDUCT business.
