Weight loss Part 6: Light Foods, Diets and Positive Attitude




Facebook Page



We say that foods with a lot of carbohydrates, like rice for example, feels heavy in our stomach and because of that we believe that it must be bad for us or not 'healthy' for us.

So, we have this desire to eat foods that are light. We go and search for a diet that consist of what we believe are 'Light' foods.

We read and search in the internet and we watch some videos to find out which diet will be 'good' for us.

This is what i am going to look at in this blog - diets.


There are so many diets that came out to cater for or satisfy this desire - the desire to eat foods that are light.

What am i talking about? 

We originally ate all kinds of meat 
but one day, we were diagnosed of some health problem 
we were scared and fearful 
so we researched about food and saw a blog, a study, a book or a website that told us 
that of all kinds of meat, chicken has the least fat content
and that lowering the fat content of food we eat is the way to 'better health'
we looked for that kind of food in our supermarket and we bought 
a skinless breast of chicken and low fat food products
and because we see people who did this in ads saying 'they look good and feel good' 
when they tried this diet
and because we believed that when we ate that same kind of diet
we felt the same way 
we eventually said 'we looked good and felt good' in this diet

Or

We tried increasing our protein intake and lessened the carbohydrates
within the 'atkins diet' or the 'ketogenic diet'
because we read or listened to someone who said it was good
and that they 'felt good and looked good' in this diet
so we eventually believed we 'felt good and looked good' in this diet

Or

We tried being vegetarian 
because we heard Dr Oz ( friend of Oprah) or PETA ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ) 
advertising Vegetarianism
or because we heard a lecture from a yoga group on the benefits of eating a vegetarian diet
so we go and buy some vegetarian food
or cook some
because they are saying 'they look good and feel good'  on the diet
Eventually, after we ate some and tried the diet
we said, 'we look good and feel good'

Or

We tried being a vegan
because we watched a film or documentary about the benefits of a vegan diet
so we go and buy some
or cook some
so we eat it because we remember that the people in the ad said
'they feel good and look good'
so as we experience some lightness 
we said 'we feel good and look good'

Or

We tried all of the above and so decided to kick it up a notch
so we decided we will try raw foods
because we have seen the before and after stories
of people who have lost so much weight in raw foods
who said they 'feel good and look good'
so we eat it and we also said 'we feel good and look good'

Or we tried all of the above and decided we have to eat 

simple meat dishes plus veggies, fruits and nuts without grains within the 'paleo diet'
we believed what we read and what they said in the media, which is 'we feel good and look good'
we bought some books being sold and watched some videos
and eventually we said the same thing they said, 'we look good and feel good'

Or 

We tried all of the above and so decides to push it to the 'extreme'
so we tried breatharianism (eating a little bit in a week, but does not eat nor drink most of the time)
we listened to interviews,  videos and books about it 
we believed what they said 
and believed that eating this way will reduce the garbage in the ocean
solve the poverty problem in the world
so we bought books of authors and seminars
and believed that this diet will make us 'superhumans' where, not only do we look slim but 
we also believed we have transcended hunger and is now in another dimension 
believing that 'we are living in light or prana' making us 'special' - 'superhumans'
they said, 'they feel good, look good, light, happy and special'
we tried not- eating and have felt that the whole 'experience' is 'out of this world'
believing that because we have survived 
eating and drinking only a little bit (2-7 Tbsp of food and drinking 1-2 cups of water in a week)
still having energy to  run and do work etc.
make us a 'special' kind of human
so eventually we said the same thing the breatharian's say, 'we feel good, look good, light, happy and special'


When we say  rice is heavy and salad is light, for example, what do we really mean?

According to the Word Web:

Heavy 
 Dense or inadequately leavened and hence likely to cause distress in the alimentary canal
Light Easily assimilated in the alimentary canal; not rich or heavily seasoned

We really do not see how the body digest food, so how can we tell that certain foods can cause distress or can be easily assimilated in the alimentary canal?

We can't within our self-imposed limitation as we are thinking about things constantly or busy manipulating ourselves to come to a peaceful state of mind missing what is going on in our stomach, unaware of the physical sensations that will tell us very faint shaking of our muscles etc. in our body as we try to manifest our beliefs in whatever diet we are in or so-called lifestyle we are in which is spoken or written physically through our words, our movement etc.




We do know that , it is a feeling of heaviness which is associated with tiredness, sleepiness, slow movement, restriction in breathing etc. which we associate with control and restriction that we resist 



while it is having a lot of energy to move with ease and breathe with ease that we associate with lightness which we associate with freedom.





So, it is our desire for freedom within our movement which is our definition of what Life is and fear of being handicapped which is our definition of sickness and death that we are living within our desire for light and heavy foods projecting these to food when we are the ones creating these in our minds, because we fear surviving in this unequal world system of money. We have to stop projecting this to food and instead take self-responsibility to stop recreating these in our minds.


As we can see above, these different diets was interpreted in many different ways by the mind. It is us as the mind that manipulates the body to manifest our beliefs that makes us 'feel good and look good' perceiving different effects in our body rather than looking at the fears that fuel them which we can stop if we want to.

Instead of manifesting consequence  in 'our without' - as this unequal world system, as we recreate our fears in 'our within' - as our mind, we can live in a stable world system based on oneness and equality as we decide from the starting point of what is best for all of us. Instead of the constant re-creation of the weight loss industry through our fears, where we give money, food, our body etc.  a value that is more than or less than Life, we can give money a value equal to life and have a balanced ecosystem of money that benefits all instead of just a few and we can create an equal and one relationship with food, the body, nature and all that is here and create heaven on earth.

In whatever diet we choose, the end result is money and profit for the businesses that we support - the book authors get money, the groceries, restaurants, the media, the water companies, the oil producers etc. 

Even breatharians use a form of transportation so a business or corporation is making profit out of that. They use a little bit of food, water to take a shower and they have houses or places with water service so the water and oil companies are also making money out of them. They are in this way, within this world system and support the inequality that is here.

The carnivorous community as much as the vegetarian comunity, the vegan community, the raw food industry, the atkins diet proponents and the paleo diet creators also get money. They too use water and oil so they also support this unequal world system of money.

Everyone supports this world system of money. We use resources given to us by the earth which is being mined by businesses and corporations running this world for money and profit
The earth has given its resources to all equally, but it only benefits the few - the elite. We have to share it to the poor, the uneducated, the elderly and the unemployed - who are the majority so we can all live in dignity.

We are all here 'together' in this one life.

We have to stop creating separation within different lifeforms, plants, animals, vegetables etc. within this 'eating healthy' paranoia based on our fears saying our diet is 'better than' other diets. Our body was created from different sets of chromosomes given to us by our parents so one body's needs differ from another's. It is 'foolish' to say one diet is better than another because we have different body constitutions here.

'A simple environmental event could affect how genes worked and that could be inherited
as if a memory of an event is being passed down through generations'

We have to consider  a way to give the poor access to money to support the body's survival and assist all to live life in dignity - considering a  Basic/Living Income Guaranteed from birth to death.
