Some great success stories here.

You know how we've always been told to get our 'fiber'? I've been reading that eating grain based fiber is like digesting a cheese grater. Instead we should get our fiber from fruit and vegetables.

Another overlooked essential is yogurt (you have to watch the sugar though, and make sure there are no artificial sweeteners). Clean yogurt is live food containing good bacteria the heals our aids digestion so I try to include that in my diet as well.

And my next quest is for raw milk. Since pasteurized milk is a primary source for my spring and fall allergies, I'm going raw to get the live pro biotics and enzymes and to avoid the histamines. It's too bad it's near impossible to come by, as it is illegal to buy from a retailer, but I can buy direct from a farm.

One other thing I have noticed that I forgot to say. Over the last several years I have developed some sort of acid reflux or indigestion. About an hour after I eat I would start to feel it and most of the time start coughing. I kept Tums in my desk and by the nightstand and would have to pop a few to settle it down. Its was getting to the point that I thought I needed to see a doc about it but just kept putting it off.

I just dawned on me that when I started this my Tums bottle at work was almost empty with 4-5 left. (2 days worth at best) A month later there is still 3 in the bottle. My change in diet has basicly completly cured it.

I live by this stuff... it cured my reflux, helps my digestion and even cured the dry patch of skin on my elbow I've had for the last 10 years... no kidding! This stuff is amazing: Braggs Apple cider vinegar... 2 cap fulls, water and cranberry juice, once or twice a day. Make sure it's Braggs... its organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized.. good stuff.

That's the problem with society, they want an easy way out.

They are overweight, go on some fad diet or take a pill.

They have no energy, take supplements or an energy drink

Can't get a boner, take Viagra.

Depressed all the time, take some antidepressants.

The real truth is we were meant to excercise daily and eat natural things from this earth. It won't fix you tomorrow but if you give it time, the weight will fall off, your energy level will sky rocket, the mirror will be kinder, and your attitude will improve, the way it was supposed to happen, NATURALLY.

As I've said before, "Your life won't change, unless you change".

Agreed. Our system and culture treats symptoms, instead of addressing problems. It's more profitable to treat symptoms. The food and health industrial complex does not want you eating clean, grow your own food and use natural remedies to heal yourself. These are things our grandparents done, and in a few generations it's all been lost.

I like that and couldn't agree more!

Let me say, six months ago I was one of those guys. I couldn't figure out why I had no energy or drive. I excercised regularly and got plenty of sleep. I never felt rested.

My bad habits from my Twenties compounded over time and I was drinking more than ever and less than a stellar diet. Now at 35 years old, I had basically run myself into a hole I couldn't sleep or excercsise my way out of no matter what.

I was at Barnes & Noble with Kelli and The Compound Effect stood out like a sore thumb. Not much later I picked up "Feel Young Forever" by Jack Lalanne. The Compound Effect changed my philosiphy on life and Feel Young Forever changed my diet for life. By just changing the way I think and the way I eat, it's completey put me on the other side of the pendelum.

I'm waking up rested at 5:30-6:15 NATURALLY. The power meeter and attitude meeter is a hell of a lot closer to the right than it's ever been. I've lived the wrong way, I'm going to live the rest of my life the right way.

Did you really have to talk about Weld on this thread?

You don't have a Tony Robbins type book deal in the works do you?
