You’ve spent gobs of money on fitness gadgets, diets and workout gear. You’ve hired the best health guru in town. You’ve stocked your pantry with vitamins – they even know you by name in the vitamin section of the health food store – and you’re still not “shredded,” and fitting into your size 6 wardrobe you’ve been holding onto.
You’ve counted calories, points, carbs and grams. You’ve gone gluten free, egg free, dairy free, fruit free, nut free, meat free, sugar free… You only eat solid meals on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, smoothies on Tuesday and Thursday and you fast on the weekend.
You weigh yourself every morning, take your measurements once a week and can’t wait to get your body fat tested.
Just one question. Are you happy? And I mean the kind of happiness that you feel in your bones. The kind that makes your heart open so wide you wake up in awe everyday and can’t believe this is your life.
Is your spirit satiated?
I’m not saying that diet and exercise don’t matter. They do. But is your mind and body congruent? You can’t expect radiant health and easy, sustainable weight loss if the frequency you’re operating on is one of fear and desperation.
How can you expect your body to release weight if it doesn’t feel safe and loved?
“The obsession will end because you care enough about yourself to stop damaging yourself with food. Because you love yourself enough to stop hurting yourself. Who doesn’t want to take care of what they love?” – Geneen Roth
Still a slave to your diet soda? The documentary, “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World” uncovers the dangers of aspartame, how it got approved by the FDA in the first place and exposes an industry whose actions can only be described as the mass poisoning of America.
From womb to tomb we are being marketed chemicals or drugs in one form or another. The companies making food additives are the same companies making the drugs that repair the damage from food additives. It’s a revolving door. From grocery store to hospital.
If you are eating diet foods you are being poisoned, pure and simple. The whole process of turning a food into “diet” or “fat free” or “light” means the stripping of nutrients and means including man made chemicals; like Aspartame and MSG, to enhance the flavor of these foods. But, Aspartame is in more than diet foods. Check your labels. If it says sugar free, most likely it’s sweetened with Aspartame.
According to http://www.dorway.com a non profit Aspartame research and support organization Aspartame is not:
Aspartame is not a natural substance.
Aspartame is not a diet enhancement product.
Aspartame is not safe.
Aspartame is not a food additive.
Now let’s take a look at what Aspartame is:
Aspartame is an unregulated and unsafe drug.
Aspartame is a man made chemical compound.
Aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde that is never released by the human body.
Aspartame poisoning is cumulative.
The FDA lists 92 official side effects of Aspartame. Here are just a few:
Headache
Poor Equilibrium
Change of Mood
Nausea
Change in Vision
Seizures
Memory Loss
Difficulty Breathing
I highly recommend watching the documentary, “Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World.” You can stream it from Netflix. Here is a clip where a scientist and a former FDA researcher discuss the dangers of Aspartame and the unethical and illegal actions that allowed Aspartame to enter our food supply:
