Excellent instruction to getting your heart right and understanding how society has taught us to control food! This book is life changing and it changed my heart This book equips us to fight and uses God's word to do so I only had the last five pounds to lose and was confused and angry with myself for always falling back into bad habits, no matter how much I wanted to lose weight. The Holy Spirit led me to this book might sound nuts to some ppl, but oh well , and showed me the reason was because I wasn't willing to take up my cross--meaning to not eat when I'm not feeling the growl in my stomach.
God touched my heart with this book and I'm almost done meeting my ultimate body goals. It is not okay to eat whatever you want when you're truly hungry--all in moderation IS the golden rule. You'll understand when you come across her tidbits about eating. You need fruits and veggies as the core of your diet to be healthy, not just to lose weight. I have to disagree BUT besides that, this book's stuff on the heart is excellent.
Just read with caution about the diet stuff. God will help you know what you should eat, what's best: As an overweight Christian, this was a must-have for me. I've lost 17 pounds in a month and a half, but more importantly, I'm learning to set my heart on Jesus like never before. Reading this book really opened my eyes about how really everything we need to know about food and what to eat, and when to eat is really in the Bible.
We rely too much on ourselves, and science, and not the only "rule" book we really need. It is really simple- there are no off-limits foods- just eat only when you are hungry, and stop at the first sign of fullness. If there are no "forbidden" foods, it is easy to eat less because you are eating the foods that you really want. My only difference in agreement with Gwen is that I stopped eating meat and dairy a couple years ago because I am so opposed to modern farming practices. To satisfy the American's greediness and hunger for inexpensive meat, animals are treated inhumanely, live in terrible conditions, are subjected to castration without anesthesia, and transported in terrible conditions.
Although God gave us dominion over the animals, that is not to terrorize them and disrespect them. These animals suffer greatly from stressful crowding, barren environments that frustrate their instinctive drives, mutilations and amputations without pain relief including debeaking, dehorning, tail docking, and castration , and other painful procedures. Ok for starters I'm not overweight, I just want to be thin again. Over the last few years I've added on some weight probably 20 or more pounds and I've done just about everything to get rid of it.
Obviously nothing worked whether it was dieting, thinking positively, exercising, or new agey things. The answer is God. I just needed to be in the right place for me to be willing to put this into practice. Now, it has been a few weeks since I've started using these techniques and I've already seen an improvement. My pants are looser and I feel better. God has already taken away 10 pounds, which is a HUGE improvement for me! People have definately commented on my weight reduction already so I am so excited to see how much more I will get rid of. I follow the advice for praying to God for help, and I do my best to love God first and to also love my "neighbors.
How amazing is that!
