FRIENDS — YESTERDAY JUST BEFORE BED I ATE MY 2ND & LAST MEAL – TWO EGGS, COOKED IN WATER WITH LARGE TOMATO SLICES ON TWO MUFFINS.  THE MUFFINS ARE NOT ON MY DIET BUT I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE HEATING POTATOES/RICE AGAIN, JUST WANTED A QUICKIE.  I LOOKED AT THE PACKAGE & WITHOUT WANTING TO, INGESTED 240×2 GRAMS OF SALT, SO I TOOK IN 480 GRAMS OF SALT – 20% OF WHAT IS ‘REQUIRED’ ON AN AVERAGE DIET–JUST BY EATING TWO INNOCENT MUFFINS, NO BUTTER OR MAYO.  

 

 

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING.  I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH MY THEORY & LISTENING TO THE OUTCOMES.  THE RESULT WAS I LOST 6 OUNCES THIS LAST DAY INSTEAD OF AN AVERAGE OF 1.5 LBS OR 24 OUNCES DAILY AVERAGE THE LAST 5 DAYS.  TWO INNOCENT MUFFINS SLOWED DOWN THE PROGRESS.  HOWEVER, I CAN’T COMPLAIN BECAUSE IN THE LAST 2 DAYS I WAS GETTING CRAMPS DURING THE NIGHT FOR LACK OF WATER, ALTHOUGH I WAS DRINKING AS MUCH AS I COULD STAND.  BUT I WAS GETTING DEHYDRATED.  AND SO ON THIS DAY I WAS NOT DEHYDRATED, WHICH IS A SIGN ALSO THAT SAYS,

 

“YOU MIGHT SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS JUST A TAD BECAUSE DEHYDRATION IS DANGEROUS TO THE BODY, THE KIDNEYS & HEART ESP.”  (LEARNED THAT BY STUDY).

 

 

OK.  SO I AM PURPOSELY SLOWING DOWN THIS PROCESS INSTEAD OF 1.5 AVERAGE LBS A DAY TO ONE HALF TO A FULL LB A DAY, TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION.  AND I DO REALIZE NOW THAT MOST OF MY WEIGHT GAIN – PERHAPS  ALL OF IT – IS WATER BLOAT.  AGAIN, THIS IS MY THEORY.  I AM GOING TO PROVE OR DISPROVE IT BY PRACTICE.  AT THE END OF TWO MONTHS OR LESS IF I AM FAITHFUL TO THIS I WILL KNOW.

 

 

BTW I AM REGULARLY WATCHING ‘NAKED & AFRAID’  – HAVE SEEN MANY.  THE PEOPLE ARE OUT IN THE WILDERNESS FOR 21 DAYS WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EXCEPT A COUPLE OF TOOLS – ONE TOOL EACH.  IF THEY LAST THE 21 DAYS, STARVING, {THEY HAVE TO HAVE WATER WHICH THEY DO FIND ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, USUALLY BOILING IT IF IT ISN’T SAFE – IF THEY HAVE A POT.  IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A POT THEY MUST BOIL IT INSIDE BAMBOO, IF THERE IS BAMBOO THERE! IF THERE IS NO BAMBOO, THEY DIG A HOLE CALLED AN INDIAN WELL, OR THEY STRAIN WATER THROUGH A BURLAP BAG OR OTHER MATERIALS} - 

 

THEY LOSE AN AVERAGE OF 20 TO 26 LBS IN 21 DAYS.   

 

{MANY PEOPLE ‘TAP OUT’ – CONDITIONS ARE BRUTAL, THE MOSQUITOES OR SAND FLEAS BITE THEM EVERY INCH FROM HEAD TO TOE; THE FEAR OF DEADLY SNAKES, TARANTULAS, ALL SORTS KILLER ANIMALS, BUT WHAT I’VE SEEN THE MOST TAP OUT FROM IS DAYS OF UNRELENTING RAIN WHICH EXTINGUISHES THEIR FIRE, KEEPS THEM FROZEN, UNABLE TO LOOK FOR FOOD, DEPRESSES THEM, THEY ARE TOTALLY DEMORALIZED & QUIT} FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN.

 

  ONE MAN, 49 YRS OLD, LOST 56 LBS IN 3 WEEKS – HE WAS NOT FAT HE SEEMED TO BE LESS THAN AVERAGE IN WEIGHT AT THE BEGINNING.  OF COURSE, THESE PEOPLE ARE STARVING.  THEY CAN ONLY FIND FOOD IT SEEMS, A DECENT AMOUNT, ONCE EVERY FEW DAYS – MAYBE ONE LARGE IGUANA AFTER 5 DAYS – MAYBE SOME SMALL FISH USUALLY – GRUBS OR TINY SHELLFISH OR CRABS & THE LIKE.  THEIR DIET IS A COMBINATION OF NO CHEMICALS & STARVATION.

 

 

 

IN THE PAST, I HAVE EMPLOYED ONLY STARVATION TO BE ‘BEAUTY CONTEST THIN’. 

 

{BEAUTY CONTESTS I WON:  MS NUDE UNIVERSE, MS BODY BEAUTIFUL USA & MS AMERICANA BEST BODY TWICE, WON SECOND PLACE IN  THESE CONTESTS SEVERAL TIMES.}

 

  THIS DIET HERE IS NOT STARVATION; IT IS THE ‘NO CHEMICAL DIET’ OR THE ‘RASA DIET.’  {I WILL WRITE A REPORT & SPREAD IT SO HELP OTHERS} I AM NOT STARVING.  I CONTINUE TO CONSUME APPROX. TWO THOUSAND CALORIES A DAY – SOME DAYS LESS – I AM ONLY CUTTING OUT THE SALT, SUGAR, PRESERVATIVES, MSG’S & OTHER CHEMICALS IN MY DIET & YES, I AM TAKING POTASSIUM DAILY, EXTRA AMOUNTS, WHICH ASSIST IN PUSHING OUT WATER AS IT PUSHES OUT SALT.  AND YES, ALSO HAVE TO TAKE A DAILY ‘DIURETIC’ SINCE I GOT HEART CONGESTION FAILURE – I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT FOR THREE YEARS.  BUT THIS DIURETIC DID NOT GET RID OF ALL THE WATER I NEED TO REMOVE – I REMAINED A ‘BALLOON’ IN THE MIDDLE ONCE I STARTED EATING A ‘NORMAL’ DIET IN CALORIES, & ‘NORMAL’ IN CHEMICAL CONTENT.  TO ME, NORMAL DIET {WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN EATS} MEANS ‘UGLY FAT.’ AND WHAT WE SEE AS FAT MIGHT BE JUST WATER BLOATING.

 

ANOTHER RESULT OF THIS DIET IS THAT MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS GONE DOWN.  I SUFFER FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE – BEEN HAVING IT SINCE MY BELOVED STOPPED TALKING TO ME 4 YEARS AGO – HYPERTENSION THAT EVENTUALLY LED TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.  IN THE LAST WEEK I TOOK LESS BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS THAN USUAL, MY PRESSURE GOT MUCH LOWER (I MONITOR IT.) FOR A WHILE IT WAS AT TIMES SKY HIGH.  NOW IT IS CLOSE TO NORMAL MUCH OF THE TIME.

 

  THEY SAY ‘DON’T EAT SALT’ BUT THEY DON’T EXPLAIN THE DETAILS–THEY WANT YOU TO BLINDLY FOLLOW THEM WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.  I WAS TOLD ‘DON’T EAT SALT’ 4 YEARS AGO BY A NURSE.  I DIDN’T BELIEVE HER, I FELT ‘THE BODY NEEDS SALT – RIGHT NOW IT’S HOT, I SWEAT – PEOPLE PASS OUT WITHOUT ENOUGH SALT’ — I DID NOT CUT OUT SALT OR CHEMICAL-LADEN FOODS & I PAID THE PRICE.  SALT IS, TO ME – DEADLY.

 

 

HERE IS WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADVISED ME IN THE PAST.  WHEN I WAS ON THE STARVATION DIET – 1K CALORIES A DAY FOR SIX MONTHS – I WAS THRILLED & DELIGHTED WITH THE RESULTS.  I LOOKED GORGEOUS.  EVERYWHERE I WENT, MEN WHISTLED & APPROACHED ME IN PARKING LOTS.  I WAS 137 LBS, THE WEIGHT I WAS WHEN WINNING CONTESTS – MY BODY SHAPE IS A MARVEL WHEN THIN.  (EVEN THOUGH IN OLD AGE I HAD LOST 1.5″ IN HEIGHT, 137 WAS STILL FANTASTIC.  MEN APPROACHED ME EVERYWHERE I WENT, MOSTLY PARKING LOTS {AS A PARKING LOT IS MORE PRIVATE THAN A STORE, THEY DO IT SNEAKY}. 

 

WOMEN APPROACHED ME TO ASK WHAT WAS MY SECRET.  WHEN I SAID ‘STARVATION’ THE ANSWER DID NOT SUIT THEM.  THE ATTENTION FELT CONSOLING, THAT ONCE AGAIN ‘I MATTERED.’  AS A ‘FAT WOMAN’ I HAD BEEN IGNORED BY MOST PEOPLE – THEY DIDN’T EVEN LOOK AT ME BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS I OLD, BUT FAT.  BUT ONCE MY BODY WAS INCREDIBLE, MY AGE DIDN’T MATTER.)

 

BUT MY SO-CALLED SINCERE FRIENDS – ALL OF THEM – YELLED AT ME EVERY TIME I MENTIONED IT, ’YOU ARE STARVING YOURSELF, YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELF & IT IS NOT HEALTHY.’

 

 

BECAUSE I AM A FOOL, I EVENTUALLY LISTENED TO THEM & LOST MY RESOLVE.  IT TAKES A LOT OF RESOLVE TO STAY ON THE STARVATION DIET.  AT NIGHT I WOULD YEARN FOR FOOD, EVEN DREAM ABOUT FOOD.  FINALLY THEY BROKE ME DOWN, I STARTED EATING 2K A DAY, STARTED GOING TO RESTAURANTS INSTEAD OF EATING PLAIN AT HOM, & WITHIN A YEAR & A HALF, I GAINED 30 LBS – FROM 137 TO 167.  AND FINALLY WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE, I HATED MYSELF.

 

I BEGAN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY WEIGHT TO MY FRIENDS, SAYING I WAS BAFFLED BY IT, HATED IT, COULDN’T LOSE IT.  NONE OF THESE SINCERE WELL WISHERS SAID ONE WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT, THEY DID NOT CARE.  THEY WERE NOT IN MY SKIN LOATHING MY FAT.  THEY ONLY INTERCEDED WHEN I WAS THIN & BEAUTIFUL, WHY DID THEY NOT INTERCEDE WHEN I WAS FAT & UGLY?  WHY WERE THEY NOW SILENT?  WHY DID THEY NOT ENCOURAGE ME, SAYING,

 

 

“RASA, GO BACK TO THAT 1K DIET, YOU WERE HAPPY THEN.  IF YOU CAN STAND IT, YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL THIN.  TRY THAT DIET AGAIN AS LONG AS YOU EAT HEALTHY, EAT LESS.”

 

 

NOT A ONE – NOT ONE SAID ONE WORD.

 

 

IT REMINDS ME OF MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A ‘FRUITARIAN’ FOR ONE YEAR.  I WENT BELOW BEAUTY CONTEST WEIGHT – I WAS 127 LBS & LOOKED ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.  PICTURES OF ME AT THAT WEIGHT ARE ON MY SITE ‘WOMAN THOU ART GOD’ UNDER GALLERIES, THE ‘GLAMOUR’ NOT THE BODY BUILDING PICS.  {THE BODY BUILDING PICS I WEIGH 147 – LOOKED GREAT FROM 2 HOURS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING DAILY 6 DAYS A WEEK FOR 3 MONTHS.}

 

THEN MY RELIGIOUS MENTOR, REV. VERNA TALBOT, HOUNDED ME ABOUT ‘BE NORMAL’ & SADLY, AFTER MONTHS OF HARASSMENT, I QUIT MY DIET, ATE NORMAL.  NORMAL MEANT NO MORE GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION.  DIRTY BITCH, WHY DIDN’T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU WERE JEALOUS.  I THINK ALL THESE FEMALES WHO ADVISE ME TO ‘EAT NORMAL’ ARE ON SOME LEVEL JEALOUS.  WISH THEY WERE THERE.  BECAUSE WHEN I CRY ABOUT FATNESS, THEY DON’T ENCOURAGE ME TO LOSE WEIGHT.  WHY?  THEY WANT ME TO BE FAT & UGLY SO THEY ARE NOT LOST IN THE SHADOWS–SOMEHOW MY PERFECTION HURTS THEM, MY LACK OF IT RELIEVES THEM.

 

SO I AM FINISHED WITH MY STORY FOR THE DAY.  IN FACT, I START RIGHT NOW SHARING IT BECAUSE I WANT WOMEN TO KNOW: LOOK, HERE IS THE ANSWER.  IT’S ONLY A THEORY, BUT I WANT TO PROVE IT.  I BELIEVE IT’S THE CHEMICALS, THE PATRIARCHAL CHEMICALS THAT PATRIARCHAL COMPANIES ARE PUTTING INTO THE FOOD FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, NOT FOR OURS. 

 

I HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY.  FOR YEARS I WAS SAYING IT’S THE CHEMICALS.  BUT I DIDN’T FIGURE WHICH CHEMICALS, I THOUGHT MAYBE SECRET CHEMICALS. BUT IT’S RIGHT THEREON ‘INGREDIENTS.’  NOW I THINK I KNOW, I WILL PROVE IT.  IT IS:

 

 

          SALT, SUGAR {DEXTROSE, UNDER OTHER NAMES, & DO NOT EAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS! SOME ARE TOXIC} PRESERVATIVES {MANY NAMES, LOOK UP THE INGREDIENTS}, MSG {LOOKOUT ALL CHINESE PLACES USE IT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO EAT CHINESE WITHOUT SALT & MSG, I ALWAYS USED TO TELL THEM NO SALT OR MSG & IT HELPED, BUT I STILL THINK IT HAS SOME IN IT WHEN I ASK, AS THE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS THEY PURCHASE HAVE SOME CHEMICALS} & ANY KIND OF SUSPICIOUS CHEMICALS THAT YOU MUST AVOID BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE – THEY ARE PROBABLY MASKS FOR WHAT’S NOT GOOD FOR YOU, MAINLY PRESERVATIVES.

 

 

 REMEMBER, THEY PUT A PRESERVATIVE OF MERCURY INTO VACCINES UNDER THE NAME ‘THIMEROSAL,’ & THIS GIVES AUTISM TO THE CHILDREN – THEY DON’T CARE – JUST TO KEEP THE VACCINE FRESH ON THE SHELF LONGER, THEY MAKE THE CHILDREN AUTISTIC.

 

 

Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound (an organomercurial). Since the 1930s, it has been widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines, to help prevent potentially life threatening contamination with harmful microbes.

 

DO YOU SEE MY POINT?  IF THEY DO THIS TO VACCINES & THE GOVT DOES NOT STOP IT, DO NOT TRUST THEM RE PRESERVATIVES IN THE FOOD!  THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CHEMICALS IS NOT TO INJEST ANY OF THEM–OR KEEP THE FOOD WITH CHEMICALS TO A BARE MINIMUM, LIKE YESTERDAY I ATE TWO ORDINARY MUFFINS & GOT 480 GRAMS OF SALT WITHOUT WANTING TO.

 

ONE LAST NOTE:  NO MICROWAVES, THEY ARE RADIATION.  ONE MAN WHO STOOD WITH HIS BACK TO A MICROWAVE FOR EIGHT YEARS IN A RESTAURANT GOT MELANOMA CANCER ON HIS BACK & EVENTUALLY DIED.  A WOMAN WHO PREPARED FOOD IN A MICROWAVE DAILY, IT WAS THE LEVEL OF HER CHEST – GOT LUNG CANCER.  DO NOT STAND AROUND THEM, DO NOT INGEST FOOD HEATED IN THEM, THE FOOD MOLECULAR STRUCTURE IS CHANGED, EVEN WATER IS CHANGED. 

 

THEY EXPERIMENTED WITH PLANTS.  PLANTS WATERED WITH REGULAR WATER GREW NORMAL {DON’T DRINK MUNICIPAL TAP WATER; IT CONTAINS FLOURIDE, A RAT POISON & CHLORINE}.  PLANTS WATERED WITH MICROWAVED WATER WERE SMALL, GNARLY, UNDER PAR. 

 

WHEN I USED TO GO TO RESTAURANTS I ASKED THEM ‘IS THIS HEATED IN A MICROWAVE?’  IF THEY SAID YES, I SAID, ‘UNLESS YOU HEAT IT IN THE OVEN, DO NOT GIVE ME THIS FOOD.’  SOMETIMES THEY WOULD EXPLAIN THEY HAD TO HEAT IT, ETC.  AND I WOULD REBOUND, THEN IF YOU HAVE TO HEAT IT IN A MICROWAVE, I DO NOT WANT IT.  IT IS RADIATION.

 

THAT’S IT FOR NOW; I WILL KEEP FOLKS AWARE OF MY PROGRESS.

 

RASA VON WERDER    5-18-20   FIFTH DAY OF THE ‘RASA DIET’ {NO CHEMICAL DIET} OR ALMOST NO CHEMICAL

 

 

AMAZING REVELATION – Chapter 2 – The ‘Rasa Diet’

 

5-21-20-THE CRAVING FOR FOOD IS IN YOUR MOUTH – NOT IN YOUR STOMACH – FROM THE CHEMICALS

 

          Since I began this diet but a week ago I notice that within a day or two I was no longer HUNGRY—real hungry like I was before. And because I was less hungry it was easy to eat less & because I ate less it helped lose weight.

 

          I pondered as why would I be less hungry? The revelation came to me like the ring of a bell: The hunger was IN YOUR MOUTH – not IN YOUR STOMACH, not a real need for food your body tells you of, but the desire FOR THE TASTE of the chemically-laden food, where they use ingredients to make it taste better – the salt, sugar, & MSG.           {Please note in this diet you are allowed natural spices}.

 

          Now I understood what someone wrote, which was a mystery to me before, they said:

 

          “They put stuff in the food that makes you crave more of it, while saying they are helping you lose weight; they make you want more & more of it so you get fatter.

 

          All this so they can MAKE MORE MONEY – cause misery to you, more bucks to them – what do they care? It’s a ‘dog eat dog’ world – it’s a jungle where each creature seeks another to eat them up. They consume your wallet, they steal your resources, they don’t care about your health.

 

          One big thing is DO NOT EAT ANY DIET FOODS OR DRINK DIET SODAS – they don’t help you lose weight, some of them are toxic – aspartame turns into methane gas in your body.

 

          Do not eat any foods that say ‘light’, ‘light-fit’ – anything that says ‘lite’ has fake sugars.

 

          Do not eat anything that says ‘low fat’ either. I cannot explain this but I have eaten low fat food & it doesn’t taste right. I don’t know what they do to it but avoid it. If it’s naturally low fat, like skim milk, it’s alright – I don’t know what they do to make regular foods low fat, but don’t trust them.

 

FAT WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT – CHEMICALS DO.

 

That is one of the BIG LIES I see in cook books. They put you on the starvation diet. I have one such book I got at the dollar store – they were selling cook books for $1. each – I bought fifteen. This book is by a famous female named ‘Jennie.’

 

All through her preface, the recipes & everything, it’s about low fat. This presumes you are eating so much fat, that’s why you’re fat. IT ISN’T TRUE. You did not get fat from fat, you go ‘fat’ or ‘water logged’ from salt, sugar, preservatives, MSG & other chemicals. Jennie probably doesn’t know these facts, she’s working under false premises, assumptions—many people are giving diet advice under assumptions –I am telling you the truth.

 

And so what is it you CRAVE, you wish for, you dream about? I was dreaming for those delicious deli-made peppers stuffed with meat & rice, covered with tomato sauce, the same dish with cabbage. I told myself the green peppers & cabbage are healthy, the rice is healthy, the tomatoes in sauce are healthy, the meat not sure about but overall, this is normal natural food – won’t hurt. I did not weigh the chemicals in my mind, not giving them much consideration.

 

The day I had the revelation it was the CHEMICALS I took all that cabbage & peppers & put it outside for the wild animals – & I have more to do to empty both my freezers & shelves of all the chemically-laden items. I will chuck them all & LEARN TO COOK MY OWN SAUCES, GRAVIES, SALAD DRESSINGS, etc. where I know they have no chemicals except POTASSIUM instead of salt {I use No-Salt} – healthy spices & so on.

 

After all, my Mom was a chef, professional, at top restaurants & food manufacturers like Stouffers. When I lived with her up to age fifteen, she made all her food FROM SCRATCH WITHOUT CHEMICALS. She GREW IT first – in the country she had gardens filled with cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, strawberries, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, eggplants, peanuts – EVERYTHING.   We put salt on food if we wanted it, but she did not dredge the food with it. She even made home made desserts daily – none of us gained an ounce of fat. She made jellies, jams & preserves – from our own raspberries, lingonberries, peaches, apples, etc. yes, full of sugar but no other chemicals, & we did not gorge ourselves on these treats, time to time on sandwiches. She made apple pies from the tree next to the house. {Sadly she did not desire to teach me or the kids any of her culinary skills!} Of course we were kids but I believe an adult can stay thin on homemade food made from scratch, including desserts, because of the LACK OF FAKE CHEMICALS.

 

One thing all of us might want to think about: LEARN TO COOK!

 

Yes we have forgotten what our ancestors knew, even one or two generations ago – how to cook. My friend Ajax tells me the obesity epidemic STARTED in the 80’s. OK, started, but in the last five years I have noticed not only the women, but the men are getting obese. What’s the change?–Chemicals. What’s the solution? Stop eating their crap. I am eating PLAIN with just the No-Salt, maybe pepper, & going to LEARN TO COOK, make things like Mom used to make. If I don’t have time or inclination, just eat plain, plain fried eggs, plain boiled or baked meats, plain boiled or steamed veggies, plain everything.

 

It’s the chemicals that made me feel like I was STARVING, craving was in my mouth. It was the MEMORY OF THE TASTE, the stimulating delicious taste of things. As soon as the memory WORE OFF – within days in fact, I no longer craved the food. Keep this in mind: the memory of the taste of the food is an addiction. If you stop eating the chemicals, the addiction goes away, like anything else, for me it left within two days.

 

I might add this: I am eating yogurt, the most healthy kinds {don’t eat yogurt with artificial sweeteners, the sugar is better than artificial, & also btw, never touch soda, no kind of soda}, with little sodium or sugar, but it all has sodium, some have sugar. This diet does not say you have to eat ZERO chemicals because sodium is also INSIDE OF BREAD. I eat yogurt every day, a probiotic, because I need it FOR DIGESTION. And once in a while I eat a sandwich – & all bread has some sodium in it. I get the cleanest bread there is & it has some sodium. On my sandwich I put a thick slice of tomato, sometimes Romaine lettuce, an egg, with NO MAYO NO NOTHING just No-Salt. It tastes fine, mayo is not needed as the fresh ingredients make it juicy. {I also pick lots of dandelion leaves from my yard to put it into things. It’s free, organic & healthy. Instead of mowing it down, eat it. You can wash it, then dry it with a towel.}

 

Last note of the day: Diuretics are important. I noticed after I had congestive heart failure & was given diuretics how diuretics or lack of them could make my weight go up or down. If I took none – like maybe forgot that day – I might gain two pounds! If I took a good amount, I might lose a lot – one day, I accidentally took double my dose & lost five pounds! This is not a good thing – it was an accident, but it proved a point, that we are 98% water & anything that RETAINS WATER will make us bloated, & what releases water will keep us normal. {I believe many people walking around ‘fat’ are water bloated, & most of us who are ‘overweight’ are holding water.}

 

Ask your doctor or Big Nurse about getting a diuretic as you feel water bloated. They probably will not help you but you can try. They will tell you all the reasons they won’t – like it can dehydrate you & hurt your kidneys. You might be on your own, so let me share this:

 

Understand that the two water-controlling minerals – salt & potassium – maintain your water levels. Salt is the worst thing for retaining – potassium pushes water out. I take three potassium capsules a day, 100 mg each.

 

I do take a diuretic every day, prescribed for my heart condition –with congestive heart failure your heart isn’t strong enough to push out all the water – but even so, this did not keep me thin, with the diuretic, yes, I was thin for a while – I was 137 lbs. After a year I felt I was healed of the heart condition {80% of it} so I began to eat REGULAR.

 

After the heart attacks I ate CLEAN FOOD, no additives, a perfect diet & not much – between 1K to 1.5K calories a day. I was beauty contest weight & men whistled wherever I went & tried to pick me up.

 

          My well-wishing friends all screamed at me that I was starving myself, it wasn’t healthy. Eventually it broke my resolve & I began to eat NORMAL – went to restaurants, Chinese {no salt, no MSG I told them but it still had some}, pizza {only veggies}, all that. Within a year, it crept on me, & in two years, I woke up to find myself 30 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT! I tried to eat less, weighed myself every day, but IT WOULDN’T COME OFF!

 

And I note that the diuretics I took for the heart did not help me at this point! The water or whatever was in me, stayed in me! I was putting so much chemicals into my body the diuretic was overridden.

 

Almost every woman I speak to who is overweight tells me she tries & tries but the weight will not come off!

 

Why can’t we lose? Because we don’t understand, it’s NOT THE FOOD – IT’S THE CHEMICALS!

 

That’s it for today, the revelation is that your hunger craving is in your mouth, not in your body – it’s a craving because of the chemicals they put in the food – a craving for the TASTE – your body is not talking to you, it’s only your taste buds saying, ‘I want to taste that again.’
