How to keep the extra weight off …permanently:

The Law of Nutritional Frugality.
By Greg Anderson

As soon as we mention the word diet, two predictable objections always arise. The first has to do with lack of willpower: “I’ve tried a hundred diets and can’t stay on one of them.” The mental programming is that we’ll fail on any future attempt.

The second predictable objection is taste: “I just love a meal of beef roast and apple dumplings! I’m never going to settle for some tasteless diet, no matter how good it is for me.”

Listen carefully: our past behavior does not automatically predict our future behavior. We’re not talking about sticking to some rigid diet. We’re suggesting a whole new way of life, anew outlook, a changed way of viewing ourselves. And taste? There’s absolutely no reason that nutritious can’t be delicious.

The core message of the law of nutritional frugality is simple: eat a variety of unprocessed foods, in moderate amounts during at least three meals, including breakfast, combined with a smart afternoon snack, while drinking eight glasses of pure water and taking a broad spectrum vitamin-and-mineral supplement each day.

That’s not difficult. It takes no monumental willpower. Every bite can be delicious. The biggest change is in our thinking. If we change our thinking about eating, we’ll change our life. Just a few of the rewards of following the Law of Nutritional Frugality include:

• More energy and less fatigue;
• Better weight control;
• A better chance of maintaining proper cholesterol levels;
• A better chance of preventing a variety of diseases;
• Increased self-esteem.
