Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I think I'll throw my two-bits into this discussion. I once read a statement by Weil who said that he had seen logical arguments against eating every category of food there is. I've met people who were so paranoid about food that they were afraid to eat anything. The fact is, that diet-wise, most people would do well if they simply avoided processed and refined foods. I buy organic foods whenever I can,but I also like fresh local produce even when it isn't organic. I look for quality, because I really enjoy eating and I love food that's high quality. Don't worry about what you eat, because worry is worse for your health than ice cream and a cheeseburger. Instead, focus on the positive. Everyone is a little different, so what works for one person won't work for another. Pay attention to how foods make you feel (physically, not emotionally). Eat what makes your body feel good, but focus on getting as much natural food as you can (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, unprocessed meat and dairy foods). Buy organic whenever you can. But by all means, don't get paranoid about food. I've seen people who were such purists about their diet that they were miserable, critical, unsocial and most definitely unhappy. It's not about punishing yourself, it's about loving yourself. It's about wanting to put quality fuel in your body the way you would want to take care of anything that is important to you. Your body can handle a certain amount of toxins, especially if you're supporting it with a few herbal supplements. So, it's not what you do occasionally that determines your health, it's what you do routinely. I've written my whole philosophy on diet and helping other people improve their diet in Dr. Mom-Dr. Dad and the ABC+D Approach if anyone wants more specific and detailed information, the can consult those courses.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I saw a guy on television about 3 months ago. I'm pretty sure he was the chairman/owner of EAS Labs. He encourages everyone to take one day off a week and eat anything they want. He doesn't just say it's okay, but encourages it. He was speaking to people in general (it wasn't a MS discussion). He feels strongly that everyone needs a psychological break from their diet. I don't know if MS people can take a entire day off once a week, but it is something to consider. > > > Don't worry about what you eat, because worry is worse for your > health than ice cream and a cheeseburger.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi ! I can't see eating something you KNOW is bad for you! Get rid of the Frito Pies! I am gluten intolerant. Does it mean I should have a nice slice of whole wheat bread every once in a while for the sake of variety? Hardly! I have zero tolerance for food that I KNOW will adversely affect me. All the best, Dudley http://profiles.yahoo.com/dudley_delany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
