Hi everyone I hope everyone is enjoying today. I have a bit of a problem my doctor told me to lose weight to be healthy and I understand that. My problem is finding a diet that I can stick to for longer than a week. Then I talk to my priest and he suggested I follow the Bible diet. If I eat for my faith then I'll be more inclined to do it. Does anyone know specifically what the Catholic Church tells us to eat? I know not to eat meat on Fridays during Lent but I don't know what else to eat and I've tried looking up in books and online any advice would be appreciated.
I have good news for you! Listen closely, and keep this in mind...
"It is scientifically
impossible to
not lose weight."
You have seen people starving in Africa. You have also seen people so big they can't get out of bed. What is the difference between the two? Calories. I feel bad for both who have extremely dangerous calorie counts. I'm not saying to take it too far, but that you should find your personal magic number. Here's what you do...
Take a day to eat the way you normally do, but write down every calorie every time you eat that day- this is your normal calorie intake. The next day weigh yourself right when you get out of bed, after using the restroom, and before taking in any calories or water. Write down your weight, and eat one hundred less calories on day two. Repeat on day three the instructions for day two. Then the same for day four etc- until the first day that you notice that you weigh one pound less- this is your personal magic number of calories to eat in a day in order to lose weight. One little baby step down- not extreme or dangerous.
Another thing that is dangerous is to abstain from certain types of foods your body
needs. Your body does not ever need soda pop, fried foods, or tons of sugar. But it does need calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals- many of which are depleted by following certain diet fads. What you need to consider is calorie count and natural foods- chicken, milk, dark green veggies, colorful veggies, and whole grains. Drink smoothies instead of juice, which is really sugar water filled with chemicals.
If you follow this, weightless
and health are guaranteed.
Don't listen to the Catholic church, about anything. The bible itself calls them 'things taught by demons'. "They order people to not marry (priests) and to abstain from certain foods (the only 'lent' in the bible is like "he lent me his coat".
