"Salt and pepper, to taste NUTS ABOUT NUTS When researchers compared a dietary plan that contained walnuts against two other dietary plans that didn't, they found that the men and women with type 2 diabetes who ate 30 grams of walnuts (about eight to ten nuts) daily had a significantly greater increase in their HDL cholesterol to total cholesterol ratio and in their HDL levels, and a significant reduction in their LDL cholesterol, all positive indicators for cardiovascular and overall health. Harvard researchers also unshelled the importance of nuts in type 2 diabetes." - Steven V.

"But a dietary plan like this doesn't cost anything. What's the downside of trying it?" Alan Gaby, M.D., one of the leaders of the complementary medicine movement in America, is even more bullish about the success rate when treating patients with dietary modification and nutritional supplementation. "In my experience," he says, "at least half of the patients with Crohn's disease improve, and many become completely symptom-free." A high-fiber diet is highly recommended for both types of inflammatory bowel disease, except when there is an active flare-up, during which you might have to go easy." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"The dietary principles outlined in this book address all three of these systems—volatile blood sugar reaction, low serotonin and low beta-endorphin with its concomitant heightened reaction. The dietary plan stabilizes the blood sugar by normalizing food intake and decreasing the use of insulin-producing foods. It increases insulin sensitivity through dietary change and exercise. The increased insulin sensitivity allows for the emergence of a desired weight more appropriate to caloric intake. It also minimizes negative physical symptoms associated with low blood sugar." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

You don't have to follow the steps in the order described here, but doing so may provide a helpful structure and may enable you to achieve faster and better benefits.

It is responsible for the specific characteristics of your body type." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"However, by turning the hunger switch off, you are able to gain control of your appetite and actually achieve your weight-loss goals whether you follow our dietary plan or create your own. WHY THE HUNGER FREE FOREVER PROGRAM IS DIFFERENT FROM GOING ON A DIET Like a hungry bear before hibernation, it gets hungrier as it gets heavier, and as you gain weight, that weight gain actually promotes a magnification of your appetite, an increase in food cravings, and a reduced sense of satiety when you limit yourself to moderate-calorie food portions. It takes a lot to make the monster feel satisfied." - Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon, Hunger Free Forever: The New Science of Appetite Control (Get the book.)

Governments, in the interest of maintaining a healthy population, generally develop food selection guides for their citizens to follow. These food policies are usually established by committees composed of dietitians; nutritionists; lobbyists representing industries such as dairy, meat, and selected agricultural farmers; medical groups; and myriad special interest groups that don't want their particular concerns ignored. The general guideline produced, if followed, will maintain a healthy citizenry." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.) "If you're eating according to the dietary plan in chapter 3 and your stools still don't fit that profile, start using a good fiber supplement. Fiber supplements are usually made from psyllium hulls (psyllium provides mucilage that helps to bulk the stools and maintain regularity) and are often sold as "natural vegetable laxatives" under store brand names. Mix up to 1 full tablespoon with water and drink it about thirty minutes before a meal. Other fiber supplements, such as fiber wafers and high-fiber crackers and cookies, can be simply eaten as food." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)
