"EATING
THE SUN"
THE HOLISTIC
HEALER'S REGIMEN FOR THE NEVER-LOSE DIETER
Anita's StarPower Free Astrology Readings Home Page
Certain types of fat people swear on a
bible to their thin friends that they really do not eat a great deal of food.
This could be true. The reason they may be quite abstinant and still gain
weight is that they choose food groups that are dense in calories: flesh, fat,
diary, sugar and starch. The fabulous, FAIRLY Forbidden Five.
Another 'never-lose-an-ounce "
type maintains that although she eats very little in her three meals she
doesn't lose weight. She will usually also confide that even though she
sometimes takes in a generous 3,000 calories a day, she's HUNGRY all the time,
hence she simply is FORCED to nibble extra snack items taking her up to 4 or
5,000 calories, so that this perpetual dieter ALSO never loses weight.
What could be happening to MISS MUNCHY is that she is consuming diet
foods which have LOW nutritional potency, which leave the body with strong
cravings. Meat, cottage cheese, hardboiled eggs, grapefruit and steak are such
foods. The starving dieters who eat these so-called wholesome foods do get lean
but they are starving hungry all the time, basically in a state of ketosis,
smelly beath, dirty tongue. Their bodies scream for more food. They are very
hungry and really need food containing VITAMN SUNLIGHT. They are basically
eating too much death foods. They fall off their diet and snack themselves FAT
in a rampage to get something alive into them, but usually they snack on more
dead protein. Their breath smells, Their body does too. The tongue is white all
the time. Their teeth have plaque. They are exuding the aromas of death.
This group might eat less and they’d
certainly smell better if they’d try an alternate diet from the California
Healthfood movement, called "The Sunlight Diet". It's one high in
vital power foods which are often 'light' foods but which are packed with
vitamins, like high chlorophyll greens, integral grains, sun ripened fruits,
seeds and sprouts all of which FEED our nutritional deficiencies to such a high
level that those perpetual munchies (related to hypoglycemia, a syndrome caused
by nutritional deficiencies) will be calmed. The weight will pour off
immediately, and then, as a treat they can have a bite of steak or a little
egg, (heavy foods) but only as an occasional comfort food or special treat.
The mainstay of the SUNLIGHT diet is
going to be solar foods, vegies and fruits. You are going to enjoy "eating
the sun" as healthy food can be quite tasty; (think of a huge, garlicky
Caesar salad, or a cup portion of buttered sesame carrots.)
It seems to be a fact of life that
one's sensual nature craves foods that seem more 'stick to the ribs', which are
perhaps aromatic, chewy, meaty, chocolatey, starchy, salty and recreational to
bite into. Meat, creamy things, oily, dairy, sugar and starch are fairly low in
solar power minerals, fiber and vitamins, (which are more often found in light,
beta-carotene rich food), but there's an emotional attachment to their use.
However, this love affair with richness is mainly 'mental' and can be broken.
The mind is amenable to being trained and re-educated when one reads up on the
danger of plaque in the arteries from flesh, fried food and dairy, and when one
learns how carcinogenic fats are and that there actually is higher stroke
incidence from over-salting fatty food. Reading nutritional magazines can help
you walk away from those foods, and turn quite happily to healthy foods which
the 'new solar palate' adjusts to and quickly becomes fond of. Soon, a dried,
sun-radiated black fig or prune can be the equal of a chocolate bar. A mango
beats an ice cream cone, and a hot corn tortilla with guacamole is more superb
than a Nathan's Coney Island kosher hot-dog, which has such a big downside:
toxic meat, carcinogenic nitrites & NO VITAMINS. And when the transition is
made, energy is high, physical activity feels natural and one burns off old
weight problems easily.
There is, however, a fourth kind of
'never-lose' dieter, and this can happen to CALIFORNIA HEALTHFOOD DIETERS. It
is some one who cannot stop her ravenous appetite, no matter how much she
struggles to diet, someone whose 'appestat' goes crazy quite frequently, and
mysteriously.
Nutritional researchers have learned
this type may have his problem because there is one organ in the body which can
actually become as addicted to the STARCH SUGAR GROUP, as a junkie is to heroin, or as an arsonist
is to a five-alarm fire.
If you crave sugars or starches
regularly, of any and all kinds, as bread, fruit, alcohol, sweets or baked
goods, you may have an addicted pancreas.
The yen for carbs is similar to the
craving an alcoholic has for his "carbohydrate of preference"---alcohol.
This mechanism explains why ex alkies go into bakery goods and candy bars with
a vengeance and end up diabetic burn outs.
If no matter what you eat in a meal,
afterward you tend to crave starch or sweet, you might suspect this to be the
case. The appetite for carbs doesn't feel like any normal hunger. It feels like
an 'irritation' or an itch which is not relieved by other food groups.
Left to their own devices, over the
years they become less interested in proteins, vegetables or salads. They will
occasionally eat them because they know they should but what they really
want is starch or sugar.
In such cases, a good "New
Age" nutritionist promptly suspects a food allergy. Quite often
people crave what they are allergic to. During the 80's, when food
testing by needle scratches became popular, the examining doctors found that
frequently people who had a chocolate 'positive' reading, (or a red welt on the
chocolate scratch) claimed to love and use a great deal of the stuff, yet their
body was actually aggravated by it.
An allergy is a problematic body
response to certain foods which causes other systems to jam up. For instance,
the immune system is severely lowered for a while after ingesting the allergin
food, wheat and dairy being prime allergins. The lack of an immune system may
make body-resident viruses and bacteria get an upper hand. Sometimes other
environmental allergies are triggered--to things you ordinarily aren't bothered
by---pets, pollen, carpets. Colds, cankers and cold sores appear. In the wake
of consumption of food-allergins, one will also have a fatigued feeling. The
thryoid may swell a little, and you'll feel it when you swallow.
But the "carb-allergy"
specifically irritates another organ, the pancreas, which swells up and
over-secretes insulin making you hungry again TOO soon. This syndrome is called
hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. It is often a pre-cursor of diabetes,
for--after decades of over-secreting insulin, one finally will run out of
insulin. Diabetes is a very inconvenient disease, causing blindness and
gangrene which then can make amputation of feet necessary. Diabetes also causes
kidney failure, possibly due to the massive amounts of animal protein diabetics
erroneously eat. In "Reversing Diabetes" Dr.John Whitaker shoots
holes in the high-protein diet and gives a regimen which will take a diabetic
off of insulin and restore his health. If Diabetes is reversible, hypoglycemia
may be too.
If we are overweight, can we assume
low blood sugar? If we know we are not diabetic, and are hungry too often, we can.
(NOTE: if insommnia accompanies the perpetual munchies it may be intestinal
parasites. As l00% of us have some parasites, it's always wise to do a 3-week
natural herbal cure which will definitely reduce your appetite.) There are
hunger killing herbs that will help you kill appetite, too. Some people can
mask hunger momentarily with caffeine. But a few hours later it comes back
three times as strong. Have you ever noticed that when your coffee wears off
your appetite comes back in spades? That in the late day and evening, you can
eat a huge steak and salad but even that meal makes you ravenous for sweets?
If so, suspect an addicted pancreas. If you wake several times during the
night, hungry, unable to sleep. And wander to the fridge and eat some cheese
and then, sleep soundly, suspect the pancreas. If three hours later you're up
again nibbling milk or toast and all this eating ---with no fasting
ever---ultimately stresses the stomach, damages the liver and kidneys, aging us
by leaps and bounds and that's only what we KNOW over-eating can do,---there
are probably other, worse results---suspect the pancreas! And if you suspect
the pancreas is sick, the most important thing you can do right now is CURE
this organ.
How? Conventional medicine has no
answer, but holistic healers suggest you give your pancreas a trace mineral
called chromimum, herbs like: golden seal, juniper berries, uva ursi, mullein,
comfrey root, yarrow flowers, garlic bulb, cayenne, dandelion root, marshmallow
root, buchu leaves, huckleberry leaves, dried root of licorice, and freeze
dried adrenals, (avail at HFS). For special healing foods, eat fennel
(finocchio) in your salads along with Jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes and for
dessert: BLUEBERRIES. Use hot castor oil packs over the pancreas. Wet a rag in
castor oil, get a hot water bottle and apply the pack, then the bottle to the
area under sternum bone, on the stomach. If you really want to heal pancreas,
do the compresses several times a week.
The perpetual munchies dieter should
then follow a pancreas healing dietary regimen. You have to swear off
carbohydrates all together. After a week of no carbs at all, carb lust fades
and the pancreas is restored to health. As carbohydrate is contained in so many
foods required for health---fruit, vegetables, grains---it is hard to get the
susceptibility to fade. But toe the line and avoid this food group, aiming for
95% abstinance and if you hit 95% you can get the low-blood sugar syndrome to
fade into the background.
Some research sources feel the carb
addict can have a little bit of a natural, unrefined carb (brown grains, fruit)
as a reward for staying on a non-carb diet. This is a question the dieter must
decide for himself. But first try NO carbs. It may be a difficult regimen but
when carbohydrate addicts go on this diet they find that the weight peels
off. So you might be motivated to go high vegetarian proteins for a week or
two, and no more than once a day, ANIMAL proteins like fresh fish which rarely
IS fresh these days so why not stick to our vegetarian meatloaf. (recipe
below.)
ANIMAL PROTEIN VS. VEGETARIAN---PROS
AND CONS. New Age holistic healthfood healers believe that proteins are
necessary, and they recommend avocados, millet, tofu and lentils/beans as
there's such a severe down-side to frequent use of meat. Meat is high in
saturated fats, cholesterol, hence harder on the liver than vegie proteins.
Meat is high in a substance called uric acids that stress the kidneys and which
holistic healers believe cause arthritis, gout and compressed nerves. Even
conventional doctors tell us that high-protein consumption causes excretion of
calcium hence osteoporosis. If that doesn't dissuade you, Hindu Yogi mystics
tell us of the sensitivity and intelligence of cows raised by humans from
childhood. This is a conscious animal. Imagine the fear and panic of a
friendly, trusting person penned near a slaughter house, then dragged to a
bloody spot and butchered. Imagine eating that flesh so full of fear and pain
hormones! Then imagine the karma of eating this kindly creature, and
participating in this murder. Enough is enough. Go vegie.
Because we're making a week-long
experiment in a new food technology, for the sake of vitality and youth,
instead of doing the conventional high protein diet, (steak, boiled eggs,
chicken, which is mainly un-vital,highly cooked foods to which they add
a little white-colored salad, and pasteurized grapefruit juice), let's do a
California Vegetarian healthfood high protein diet.
This regimen will be easier on your
kidneys than meat diets. Animal flesh puts uric acid 'puff' on our faces over
the years as a kind of edema builds up. The proof is that meat-eaters all have
faces like round meat pies at age 60. You can see no resemblance to the person
they were at 20, whereas vegetarians keep the facial contours of a 20 year old
until they are 90. Meat and eggs also give the breath and body an unpleasant
smell that mirrors the condition of the bowel. As vegetarians tell us 'food
should smell the same way going in as passing out!' And for them, it does!
So, hoping for all these new levels
and areas of non-toxidity, we are going for a full on California Health Regimen
of steamed vegies and grains, lots of raw foods and certainly some nice, New
Age all-vegetarian (low uric acid) proteins and plenty of hi-vit dark green
salad! And let's add a few healthfood store herbal preparations which (like STP
type fuel additives) can really rev you up and create super-vitality and youth.
You may not have heard of them before, but if you go to good healthfood store
you will find them for sale.
THE SUNLIGHT DIET MAKES USE OF THE
POWER OF VEIN-CLEANSING MINERALS The high mineral content of the foods
you will be consuming is said to create natural 'chelation'. In other words,
the organic minerals penetrate and sweep away the inorganic minerals trapped in
your arteries and capillaries...as plaque. High-min raw juices are
especially effective. When your veins are clean, you will drop years,
rejuvenate, and as you lose weight, FIRM your body again!
SIDEBAR: Rejuvenate with vein
CLEANSING OILS - Lecithin, Evening Primrose Oil, Kyolic de- odorized garlic,
Vitamin E. Omega Fish oils. Use all of these with fatty meals. On top of food,
use fresh garlic mixed with cold-pressed oils purchased at healthfood store,
which will not become thick when cold. Do not fry or heat any oils; don't saute
with them. Put small amts on top of your cooked food in the way you used to
dress vegetables with melted butter. A little clarified sweet butter is
alright, too as it banishes hunger like magic, making vegetables the equal of
meat. Use no Salt- Small amt of low-salt soy sauce can be mixed into the
oils we use on food. Toasted sesame seed 'gomasio' is also fine.
THE REGIMEN
BEFORE BREAKFAST (on empty
stomach) L-salivarius (a beneficial bacteria like the one in yogurt).
Potassium, (for muscle strength) preferably liquid form. Cayenne capsules for
'glow and arterial flow!'and JUST BEFORE BREAKFAST-Electrolytes (minerals in
solution).
BREAKFAST - If you can
sleep nine hours without hunger awakening you, this can be your carbohydrate
meal. The items you use will be whole grain, but they still may create
mid-morning hunger later. If this is the case, take note---you are a probable
carb-allergic. You have to go on a total-protein breakfast. If you have mild
hunger reaction to grains/fruits in a.m., you can use SPROUTED SEEDS to sooth
appetite. Take raw pumpkin or sunflower seed SPROUTS at l0 a.m. This is a
'stick to your ribs' protein snack. If you handle grains well in winter time,
use fruits in spring and summer. We make them into a fruit shake. (No dairy or
soy, just plain fruits.) Add bee pollen, rice bran syrup, any brand blue green
algae and flax seed oil. In cold weather, steamed or hot, baked fruits or whole
grain cereals. (no milk). Dairy foods are slightly mucous forming as well as
not combining with starch as well as fat, so it is better to have a small
amount of pure unpasteurized cream. Sweeten with rice syrup, tupelo honey or
genuine maple syrup but in miniscule amounts. To sweeten grains causes
fermentation in your stomach, which we want to avoid. And NO CAFFEINE as it
gives you a morning high, but followed by afternoon/evening LOW with munchies,
not EVEN energy.
ALTERNATE BREAKFAST- If you wake
several times during night with distinct hunger, you are not ready for a starch
breakfast. You must have protein drink. Soak 4 oz almonds in water at night. In
the morning you will be able to peel off skin. Blend 1/2 cup of blanched
almonds in spring water or soy or rice milk, add rice bran syrup or tupelo
honey (l tsp), 1 tbsp bee pollen, and 1 tsp good liquid algae, flavor with
almond flavoring and banana or 1 tsp unsugared cocoa. (and take algae capsules
on the side. Ask your HFS to stock spirulina or blue-green Klamath Lake algae.)
You can learn to make great 'milk' shakes out of mixtures of fresh coconut,
almonds and cooked soybeans or tofu. For shakes get the delicate, not firm. To
flavor, add almond or vanilla extract, or Sanka for a coffee flavor, or
Cinnamon/nutmeg and banana, or carob for a chocolate flavor, and SOME milk to
give it the dairy flavor you love. Just get used to high vit B tofu stuck into
foods as often as possible, because this diet is about POWER FOODS. SUPER
FOODS. Algae is very tasty by the way, as it's totally tasteless and then they
add APPLE juice concentrate to it if you get the wet kind in the eye dropper.
BEFORE LUNCH - Digestive
enzymes, herbal supplements: Mucus- reducers like de-odorized garlic, Mullin,
Marshmallow, Foenegreek, diuretic Kidney herbs like Uva Ursi, Juniper Berry,
dandelion).
LUNCH DIET: Steamed
vegetables, broccoli, (beets, parsnips AND carrots replace potato,) raw salad,
soup, whole brown basmati rice, never white, Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes)
in salads to provide insulin to even out hunger pangs. Licorice in the form of
fennel (finochio) cut into your salad to kill appetite. Find a tea called
weightless, available everywhere. Drink with meal. Very tasty, diuretic. NO
SALT. It holds water on you.
1/2 HOUR AFTER LUNCH- Digestive
enzymes, herbal supplements.
LITE SNACK - If hungry,
corn tortilla, avocado made into guacamole. If you are smart and want to peel
back the years and look younger, drink home-made, fresh raw vegetable juice.
(Carrot, beet watercress, celery, cuke, kale best.) Raw milk, goat being best.
ALMOND milk (soak, peel almonds, grind, strain; add almond extract. Use nutmeal
for face.
BEFORE DINNER Herbal
Supplements. Herbal-Minerals, Kidney mixture, whatever you feel you need.
Menopausal Women should use estrogen replacement herbs like fo-ti-tieng with
raspberry tea.
DINNER DIET- Raw Greens,
protein which should be vegetarian, (Vegie meat loaf, hummous, tofu.) Vegetable
soup, steamed or baked vegetables, 1 or 2 digestive enzyme capsules.
BEFORE BED Sleep-aid
herbs. L-salivarius 1-3 capsules and an herbal laxative capsule.
IN SUMMATION: The NO CARB
diet is easy to research, shop for and carry out. It is, however a radically
new way of eating. Will the pleasure of being thin and loved outweigh all the
garbage you used to put in your mouth? What do you think? The diet allows you
nut butters, and moderate use of whole grain starches, delicious dishes like
waffles with maple syrup or tupelo honey, healthy fruitshakes even cheesecake
made of cottage cheese, sweetened with apple juice concentrate in a rich NUT
crust. Avoid processed foods with shelf-life (meaning they're dead!) empty
calories. Eat full calories. Nutritional Natural food. Everything has to be
ALIVE. That way less of it is required. Most of our hungers are
vitaminosis-related! So try LOW Protein, Low CARB, high NUTRITION, eat all you
want of delicious food (chosen from SUPER FOODS ONLY) and GROW super active,
and super THIN.
NEW AGE FOODS:
HOLISTIC RECIPES FOR POWER & ENERGY
HUMMOUS- This is a
middle eastern protein food like western types of party dip, (I use it for
that) which YOU will use as sandwich spread as it's thick like chicken salad.
It's very satisfying and the highest food you could find in calcium due to
sesame, hence it replaces cheese & milk. All bean-based dishes sour in 4
days so we will freeze half of the finished product, making a lot at a time as
it does take a few minutes of work.
HAVE ON HAND: One jar/Can
TAHINI, (a kind of peanut butter only made w. sesame seeds, avail at Israeli,
Iranian, Armenian, Arab grocery stores.) Dry raw garbanzo beans, onion, soy
sauce, pckg untoasted sesame seeds, garlic, lemons, 1 sml. can chopped olives,
cumin, curry powder, Cilantro, Chile-Sesame oil, (oriental section.)
Pickle/relish optional.
METHOD- SOAK beans
over night. Boil in crock pot until soft. While beans cook, toast sesame seeds
in iron skillet, stirring until they pop. Cool. Reserve most of liquid in
beanpot for tomorrow's soup, leave 1/2 cup remaining liquid while you mash
beans into a paste. Add 1 part tahini to 3 parts beans, mashing with finely
chopped onions, lemon juice, soy sauce. Add toasted sesame seeds to the
bean/tahini mix, add a few dashes of chile sesame oil, your spices, cumin,
curry, lots of crushed fresh garlic, olives, cilantro and lemon juice. Freeze
what you can't eat in plastic, not foil, as there's acid in hummous and
aluminum leaches out of foil. Later, hummous thaws good as new. Serve with fat
free baked all corn chips or in sandwiches w. pickle/ lettuce/tomato. Kids will
take this to school quite happily.
VEGETARIAN MEAT LOAF- ON HAND- 1
cup of your CHOICE OF GRAIN* (soaked 2 hrs. at l00 degrees), garlic, chopped
onion, oil, thyme, oregano, chopped celery, celery seed, mushrooms, 1/4 cup
soaked, almost sprouted nuts: may be mixed sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts,
hazlenuts. Other ideas: bell pepper, tofu, cooked lentils or garbanzos, tahini,
Salt/pepper & vegie broth. Use a good grain from healthfood store like
millet, brown rice, quinoa, (COOK GRAIN, or, if bulgur wheat, soak in hot water
30 min.). Grind nuts. (Almonds must be soaked overnight in water, then skinned)
METHOD- Saute the onion, mushrooms, garlic, red or green peppers, stir
in the other ingredients: GRAIN, nuts, spices, until you have a burger.n top.
Then, you can then shape a patty, dredge in flour and sesame seeds, fry lightly
in butter, olive oil, then bake, last 15 minutes. Serve with a little cheese,
tomato sauce, olive on top. U also can bake in meatloaf shape. Freeze 3/4 of
patties or slices. NOTE: Reason we pre-soak grains, sprout nuts/seeds is to
inactivate PHYTIC acid which prevents mineral assimilation.
HOME MADE BREAD- Let pckg dry
yeast rise in 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup of warm water. Make 3 cups vegie broth by
simmering vegies that you perhaps plan to eat for dinner. Add 1/2 cup brown
sugar, 1 cube butter. COOL. Throw 3-4 cups whole grain wheat/mixed w. rye flour
into broth, (a little millet flour is good if you can find it,) and a tsp of
gluten (avail. at healthfood store) for each cup of flour. Stir so it's very
soft, then add, stir in the yeast which has proven it's alive by getting a
thick scum on it. Stir more flour into dough until it's mushy verging on firm.
Let rise in bowl in warm spot in kitchen, FOR MINIMUM OF 2 HRS, like open oven
on super low. 2-hr yeast raising period is to inactivate phytic acid which is
pronounded in whole wheat, and inhibits our assimilating our minerals. When
doubled in size, turn on dusted board, and knead, as you do, adding several oz.
of toasted sesame seeds and salt to taste. Put on buttered floured pizza
pan, or four loaf pans, set in warm place until it doubles. Bake at 375 l0 min,
then lower to 300 until brown. Cool, Cut into 4 loaves, freeze 3.
VEGIE CHOPPED CHICKEN LIVERS-(or party
dip) Ground sprouted Walnuts, pecans, pre-soaked lentils, cheddar cheese,
garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice all blended together. YUMMY! Sandwich spread,
too. Pre-soak nuts to sprout them to inactivate phytic acid.
SALAD - THE ULTIMATE VITALITY FOOD- Wash romaine,
watercress, spinach, but not head lettuce. Get all dirt out of crevices. Put in
colander. DRESSING- Olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, oregano, a
little dry mustard powder or wet, 2 tbsp crushed avocado and slices of onion,
soy sauce for salt, anchovy paste if possible. Mix in large, wooden salad bowl,
put greens on top. TOPPING- sunflower seeds, avocado slices, raisins,
mushroom slices, hulled pumpkin seeds (only avail. at HFS), broccoli florets,
jicama or sunchoke slices, diced green onions, fresh basil, cilantro or arugula
herbs. SERVE with stacks of hot, corn tortillas in a basket. Make soft 'tacos'
of salad.
GOMASIO- Toast 1 3oz
bag of sesame seeds on heavy skillet until golden. Cool. Put in blender with
1/4 tsp salt, whiz l second only. Store in CLOSED jar in fridge. Use in place
of salt on all savory foods.
SPROUTED SEEDS AND NUTS- As beans,
seeds, tahini, nuts and whole grain breads have phytic acid, which inhibits
assimilation of minerals, as you start to use them to take the place of MEAT,
SOAK THEM. Beans must be soaked overnight, water thrown away. Nuts should be
soaked also, changing water a few times, until they start to sprout. Seeds
should be soaked until they sprout and whole grain flour should 'rest' 2 hrs in
the dough stage. Phytic Acid is the Catch 22 of healthfooders. Whole wheat
products can cause rickets from phytic acid causing calcium lacks. GET
FLOURLESS BREAD at HFS, toast w. butter and those new, sugar free jams
sweetened with grape juice concentrate. great snack.
SWEETS- Make
'Pinatas' and store in jar in fridge. Each colored paper cone is filled with
ribbon-chopped dried cherries, apricots, peaches, raisins, home-blanched
almonds, homemade peanut brittle, and dipped chocolates (fruit center) all made
w. no sugar. Larger dried fruits like dates, figs R-stuffed w. nuts or homemade
marzipan. (Grind dates, walnuts, blanched almonds, lemon juice, rind, coconut
in blender, add almond extract.)
