Our Nutritional Revolution

For years my dear mother has stressed the need for me personally to improve the quality of the food that I ate. I did not see myself as someone who ate too much or too badly. I reasoned, that since I was big as a baby, I would be a big man when I got older. I have always been on the heavier side, or better, "the chubbier side of the aisle"... or truth be told "the fatter side of life"! I am 6' 2" and I weigh 265 lbs.

Through out my life I would often resort to comfort food eating. I had a sweet tooth since I can remember so eating chocolate, cakes, ice cream etc. was always part of my life. Especially when I was down or feeling depressed or discouraged. Over eating or eating large portions was something that I did often and this was always the reason why I was overweight. I reasoned I was not too overweight so it was OK. Also my physical activity was always on the light side. So a combination of eating too much, eating the wrong things and then not burning off the calories was a sure sign I would gain weight and lose quality and vibrancy in my life.

Feeling overweight is not a good feeling. These last few weeks I felt the presence of extra pounds due to the feasting over Christmas. I did not feel good. I looked at my kids and I could see that my girls had also gained weight. They follow me in my appetite and it has had an adverse effect on them. I began to see how my lack of self control, my lack of choosing the best foods for my family were taking a toll on them. And I knew that I was fully responsible and was actually harming my family!

I repented, to God and to my family. I am sorry for thinking we could eat stuff that actually was doing nothing for us, and actually hurting us. Processed foods, processed sugars, fats and breads-- they all just gunked up our systems and made us fat, sluggish and unfit. We are in general good health, thank God, so that means we are in a good place to prevent any future sicknesses etc. and we will be able to add an incredible measure of health, joy, energy, well being and happiness to our lives.

The war is on, the goal is before us, we have a vision as a family of our new selves in a few months time and so we are excited. I purchased a new juicer and a new blender tonight so we are armed with the weapons necessary for extracting the living gold from the foods we will eat from now on.

We are making videos of our progress so this will be a documentary when we have finished. The goal is not a diet, but a whole new way of eating, a whole new way of living, and a whole new way of worshiping God. The goal is to seek out only the best nutritionally-beneficial foods we can and eat only those. We will be making sure at least 51% of our diet is live and uncooked fruits and vegetables.

May the Lord bless and inspire all of us here at Godfmtv to be nutritional revolutionaries who bring the good news in body as well as mind and spirit!

Comment by Rachel Saunderson on January 9, 2013 at 7:46am: Well done! Good resolutions these. And if you can manage to eat 51% good live foods and vegetables today, then maybe one can aim for 52 % the following day... and your health will get better and better each day.

Good luck with this guys! If you stand together as a family to achieve this, you can and you will.

Comment by Gloria Raven on January 9, 2013 at 8:44am: Good morning world. Praise the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! I thank the Lord for giving our family a cooperative spirit! This morning, I just drank my first veggie breakfast: 1 carrot, 1 apple, 2 celery stalks, 1 large dark leafy green leaf, 1squeeze of lime....all buzzed through our new 'juicing machine'. WoW! a powerfully satisfying drink, and so tasty too!

Our bodies our temples of the Holy Spirit. God has given us everything we need on this earth to be healthy. Man seems to be good at adultery....Adulterating the body, adulterating the mind, adulterating the food! When will we learn that we can not "improve upon" what God has already created! Mankind is a thief...stealing the basic building components from God, and then saying proudly, "Look what I have made!" As if somehow it is better or more nutritious than that which with they started! "Oh Yes! this "new food" may indeed be sweeter to the tongue...but oh! what an illusion! It's momentary pleasure fades and the sickness sets in....the headaches, the stomach aches, the weight gain and cramps. Isn't this the way Satan works every time....He tells you the lie that God's ways aren't good enough...that he has a better, more tastier way of life...more sweet, more fun, less restrictive! All deception! Because when the initial 'buzz' wears off...we are left with sickness, guilt, brokenness and a need for forgiveness and healing.

May this new way of life and of eating be reflective of our spiritual hunger to be healthy through and through....wanting to do things God's way...and not to be deceived by imitations!!! xxxlove, your sister in Christ, Gloria Raven

Comment by Geoffrey A. Wormus on January 10, 2013 at 3:41pm: Good for you guys! Sounds great! We use garlic as a natural antibiotic. Over here you can go to any open market and find an herbalist with his little stand. Health food shops are also quite common, although sadly NOT as common as pharmacies. Building hospitals at the bottom of the cliff, rather than a fence at the top. Your united effort will no doubt encourage each one to stick with it and be faithful. What do you do for the physical exercise?

Comment by Julian Collyer on January 11, 2013 at 8:23am: Congratulations. I believe that a large part of the truth, is what you are practicing. God's divine Nature is perfect. Anything created by man is imperfect. It is far better to stick to God's pure foods. I heard of a woman that cured herself of cancer by only eating foods, recommended or at least listed in the Bible. Since I gave up smoking I piled on lots of weight and it is really debilitating. It seams to me that large corporations are sponsored by Satan, their mission is to kill us all.
