"Throughout that time I watched my body, as lean (or "as skinny," I should say), change. My skin became brighter, the never-ending energy and strength I thought I had soared, and my thoughts and accuracy in and outside the Martial Arts just grew. And after weighing myself before, during, and after the 28 days, I found to my surprise that I'd gained 8 lbs of muscle. And to add 8 lbs to a then-142-lb. frame is nothing short of amazing.... I continue cleansing off and on until this day." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Some adults may lean towards the mellow tones of the clarinet while others prefer the triumphant sounds of the trumpet. Blow up balloons or blow whistles. Forcefully blowing a whistle acts like a vacuum cleaner to rid your lungs of toxic dirt and grime. Buy a cheap whistle (remove the pea if it is too noisy for you and your neighbours) and whistle while you work! Christie Loughridge, a young asthma patient, demonstrated at a recent seminar the following rather clever improvisation. þ Stand normally and place a large towel or belt around your waist, crossed over in the front of your body." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Although it may seem that fat is more watery, it turns out that lean tissue contains more water. lean tissue contains three-quarters water, while fat contains about one-quarter water. Water Output To maintain just the right water balance, the intake of water must exactly match the output of water. The body loses or disposes of water in several ways, as displayed in Figure 7-1. The kidneys are the main regulators of water. The kidneys account for about half of the total water output. Our skin loses water in two ways." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Using data from a large, nationwide case-control study conducted in Sweden, researchers examined the association between consumption of fatty and lean fish and breast cancer risk. High intake of fish was weakly associated with reduced breast cancer risk, but the association was not statistically significant. The calculated risk reduction for women with the highest consumption (3.5 or more servings per week) compared with women with the lowest (virtually none) was only 12 percent. When type of fish was examined separately, the association was similar for fatty and lean fish." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"That's why you are better off with lean protein and vegetables. Unsalted natural nut butter is a better choice than cheese—it has just as much protein but healthier fat and no salt. Feed fish and chicken to children one and older. Remember that your child's metabolism is still trying to find its set point in the first few years of life—and he's developing tastes, so you don't want to send the wrong signals to his metabolism and taste buds. Remember, too, that most recommendations for children's milk intake are faulty." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "If you neutralize the acid in your diet by consuming three times as much produce as lean protein, you reduce your calcium requirements and ensure adequate magnesium and potassium intake along with the associated antacids. By avoiding grains, you avoid gluten allergies and a lot of extra calories. In addition, green, leafy vegetables have more fiber and nutrients that are keys to good health than even fortified grain can give you. Finally, restoring a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fat (less than or equal to 5:1) reduces inflammation and its damage to blood vessels." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Or are you eating good cuts of fairly lean meat? To me, I just come back to moderation. Assuming that you were in pretty good shape in your 20s, if you could maintain that weight, you would be in good shape. The truth is at 20, you could for all sorts of reasons, eat all sorts of terrible things and maintain that weight, because you were more physically active, because your system was just more resilient. As you get older, you lose that resilience. So you are more susceptible to lifestyle behaviors that can do you harm than you were when you were younger.

"Choosing lean proteins that offer you all the amino acids you need to build and maintain numerous structures in the body—including those that are part of detoxification?is key. The result is an infusion of genuine nutrients that will aid in your digestion process rather than take away from or inhibit it. Below are the guidelines for following my Detox Diet. Some of this information may sound familiar, as it will reinforce and reiterate concepts previously outlined." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"As Thomas Jefferson suggested generations ago, meat should be thought of as a supplementary food rather than as a main dish in our diets, and the meats we do consume should be lean, high in protein, and low in saturated fat. Thinking like a hunter-gatherer To understand why such foods as fish, fruits, and vegetables are good for our brains, we need to visualize ourselves along the continuum of human evolution." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Both historical and anthropological evidence seems to bear out that the average adult height was substantially higher—nearly six inches—in hunter-gatherer populations (in which the staple foods were lean meats, fruits, and vegetables) than in agricultural societies (in which cereals and starches emerged as the staple foods). ?Among recent hunter-gatherer populations there is an almost total absence of the diseases that afflict so many citizens in developed Western countries." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Opposite of our grain-fed animals that are high in fat, the meats of our ancestors would have been taken from hunted game that was lean, protein-dense, and low in saturated fats. And since human groups were never far from waterways or coasts, and much migration is likely to have occurred along rivers and coastlines, our ancestors would have had a relatively high intake of fish and other aquatic foods." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Include fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fish and whole grains in your diet. Some foods have healing properties. For example, papaya and pineapple have natural enzymes that aid in digestion. Raw potato and cabbage juice are said to heal the lining of the stomach and reduce acid. Eat foods mostly from column one and two listed in Chapter Three. These foods are healthier fats and low to medium glycemic which help keep you healthy overall. Read over that chapter to ascertain how to eat healthy. Avoid foods that trigger your heartburn even if they are in these columns." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Food and Environmental Allergies in Children Patient Story: Food Allergy_ As Alison's mother, lean honestly say that Alison was born crying. She cried for the first two years of her life. I took her to a clinic at the time and found out she was allergic to corn, wheat and bananas, which caused her to cry every day, all day long. I took her off those foods, and she became a normal, happy two year old. She did well for quite a while until she got a problem with a vitamin deficiency, which caused her to be uncontrollable. I couldn't do anything with her." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Eighty percent of the time eat foods that you know are going to nourish your body: fresh fruit, veggies, lean proteins, wild fish, raw nuts, seeds, yogurt, and salads. Then once in a while treat yourself with something that you know is not on your list of good things. I say this because you have to make the lifestyle doable! Try shopping the perimeter of a grocery store, as this is where the fresh produce, meats, and dairy will be. You will be avoiding most of the processed and refined products that are generally located in interior aisles of grocery stores." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Another benefit of nuts and seeds is the great amount of essential fatty acids found in these foods. ?lean, grass-fed beef (grass-fed beef provides a superior fatty acid profile). American diets by and large contain great amounts of saturated fat and omega-6 fatty acids and are relatively deficient in omega-3 fats. Grass-fed beef provides a fatty acid profile superior to corn-fed beef raised on synthetic anabolic steroids and growth-promoting agents that are used to quickly fatten and mature the cattle. ?" - Steven V.

"Wild game can also be an excellent source of lean proteins without added fats and fillers typically found in farm-raised animals. TIP Avoid or minimize use of table salt. Use unprocessed sea salt sparingly or try an herbal salt such as organic Herbamare (contains sea salt, kelp, garlic, onion, chives, parsley, celery, leek, cress, and thyme). Watch Dairy Avoid commercial dairy products, including milk, sour cream, buttermilk, cheeses, margarine, and other milk products. If you must include dairy in your diet, choose organic products that contain no hormones or antibiotics." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Type-2 Diabetes (NIDDM) In Type-2 diabetes, also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), obese people in the early diabetic stages secrete an average of 114 units of insulin, which is more than three times the normal 31 units of insulin, and lean Type-2 individuals produce between 14 and 31 units daily. The great variation for Type-2s is determined by the stage of the disease. Again, this is relative as there seem to be two major stages in Type-2 diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
