NATURE HAS A WEIGHT LOSSPLAN FOR YOUR BODY
Let Nature Be Your Teacher
If you are seeking to have Nature's perfect weight for your body, you must educate yourself to the extent of knowing the full ramifications of putting the wrong kinds of food into your body.
By education, I do not mean the type of information which is often found in weight-loss books or magazines. Some of these "diet" programs can make your life a miserable mess with their complicated instructions and procedures. Throughout the years of my own studies on how the body works, I have found over and over again that Nature's way is best. Man's theories and remedies are complicated; Nature's ways are simple.
If you are carrying excess fat around on your body, you are, indeed, carrying a heavy load which slows down the functioning of the body and depresses the spirit. If you have already been on several weight-loss programs, only to fail after so carefully reading and following the plans, you can only chalk it up to learning by your past mistakes, so that you will not repeat them in the future.
Achieving Nature's plan for your body is simply a matter of concentrating on one line of study, ignoring anything which does not strictly conform to the principles of Nature's laws. If you come to understand and experience eating the foods Nature has provided for your body to work at its maximum efficiency, without carrying that excess load of fat around, you will never again want unnatural and destructive foods to pass your lips.
This education, the elevation of our consciousness of how the body works, is somewhat like that of the person who seeks to eliminate the habit of smoking. If our smoker goes to classes which vividly illuminate the ghastly effects smoking has on the body, he will be shocked into ridding himself of his foul habit forever!
Let Nature Prove Her Plan to You
Throughout this study of how to achieve Nature's perfect weight, I must impress on you the importance of following it through with singleness of mind and purpose. By this, I mean that every word, every sentence and every fact which is related herein must be studied thoroughly without regard to any views or theories which you may have or which others may have set forth. No matter how plausible
1
other presentations of the subject may appear, disregard them completely while you are studying this book.
Remember that there are a great many writers and teachers of weight-loss and health care, many diametrically opposed to the others, yet each claiming to be an authority on the subject. Do not be confused by trying this, that and the other system, until you have proved the truth of the one which will give you the most complete and permanent results.
This Book Is Your Classroom
Your Body Is Your Laboratory
Personally, I have had to learn the truth the hard way (most of us have to do just that!). I am never satisfied with anybody's experiments or recommendations until I have tried them myself and proved it to my own satisfaction.
Everyone wants to have the weight which Nature meant for them, but not everybody wants to do more than wishful thinking or halfhearted attempts at "dieting." I urge you to think of this book as your classroom in which you will grasp the inner meanings of Nature's laws. If you do so, you will find that your body will become your laboratory wherein you will prove that Nature's diet plan will bring perfect and permanent results,
Don't Keep Nature Waiting!
In the following pages I will endeavor to lay out a plan which will allow Nature to mold your body's contour into the shape it was meant to be. I would suggest here, before we begin together to study Nature's ways, that for this program to be effective, you should adopt a positive attitude about its success. There is more truth than fiction in the saying that a person may be down but never out unless he or she chooses. There is really no such thing as a hopeless situation. It is the individual who has grown hopeless about it. I urge you have faith in Nature's ways, for Nature will never let you down.

Chapter 2FACTS AND MYTHS ABOUT YOUR BODY
How to Diet and Get Fat
Had we been trained from childhood to understand the functions of the body, we would know that the body is composed of billions of microscopic cells.
Microscopic as they are, the cells in our bodies are endowed with life and intelligence. They respond to the stimulus of the mind, whether or not we are conscious of this. They are our servants in every conceivable respect. But in order to carry out their various tasks within our bodies the cells must have food which will nourish them.
In the case of our bodies, Nature has endowed a vast amount of latitude and tolerance in regard to the care that we give to these little servants. When, however, the limit of such tolerance in the manner of nourishment has been reached, we are warned in an indirect manner. We may become tired and fatigued. We may develop headaches and backaches. Even more distressing, we will find that adipose tissue (fat!) has been deposited in those parts of the body where extra fat is neither necessary nor desirable. These "symptoms" are indications that the food eaten in the past was not really of the constructive type, the advertised claims for "diet" foods notwithstanding.
Instead of regenerating the cells of the body, destructive food speeds up the degeneration of the tissues and causes the formation of fat.
An Old Cliche' with a New Twist
There is no question whatever about the fact that we are exactly what we eat. There is no other way in which the cells and tissues of our bodies can be replenished except from the food we eat and the liquids we drink. The irony of this cliche', and it is certainly a true one, lies in the fact that many people in this enlightened age are furnishing their bodies with what they believe to be healthful, nourishing foods. They are eschewing candy, soft drinks and ice cream, eliminating foods with high cholesterol (which their doctors have advised), and cutting down on carbohydrates. What a shame it is to have to tell such people, who are sincerely concerned about their bodies, that they are not providing their bodies' cells with any more nourishment than the person who freely indulges his appetite with all manner of foods.
Does this surprise you? I would be surprised if it does not! The truth of the matter - and I will explain this further on - is that the live
3
cells in our bodies need food that is also alive.
We cannot have death and life at one and the same time. Federal laws prohibit the sale of canned and bottled foods in which life has not been destroyed. When you eat any food which has been preserved or processed by heat, you are eating food in which every vestige of life is missing. This may sound strange to you if you have never stopped to think about it, but as you read the pages of this book, it will become clear to you why the foods you ate in the past did nothing to take unwanted pounds off your figure and certainly did not improve your health.
The fact that for generations millions and millions of people have lived and are living without eating anything but cooked foods does not prove that their being alive is the result of their eating habits. As a matter of fact, they are in a state of decadent existence which is confirmed by the toxic condition of their bodies.
Why else, the overcrowding of hospital facilities?
Why the thousands and thousands of pounds of pain-killers sold annually?
Why such a high rate of heart trouble, diabetes, cancer, emphysema, premature senility and early deaths?
Why are over 15 million citizens of our country overweight?
Why the widespread use of diet pills? (Let me say here to you, never take diet pills. They are dangerous and will cause your body untold harm. Apart from the fact that such medicines are injurious and disrupt the body's metabolism, they do not attack the cause, and at best they are no more than temporary remedies.)
Such conditions arise directly from the state and environment of the cells in our bodies. If we have failed to eat food that would nourish these cells, we have not only starved them, but we have also afflicted them with poisons which the body absorbs from the accumulated debris in the system.
Indeed, yes, we are what we eat. But do we really know what foods we mus...
