The picture on the right is of my beautiful daughter, Michele, on her first birthday. Birthday cake is not diet food, but it is possible for birthday cake to be part of a healthy diet. It depends upon the cake, the quantity and how often you eat it. We didn't let Michele eat the whole cake.
Mirriam Webster's Deluxe Dictionary says "diet" is food and drink regularly provided or consumed. Diet has become a dirty word because so many have made money telling us "diet" is all about losing weight by eating the strange things they recommend. I won't repeat the strange weight loss ideas some of them suggest, because they don't make sense and I don't want to give anyone the idea that they do. At some time in my life I have probably tried them all. This article is "not" about losing weight, it is about being healthier.
The diet industry has really done a job on the self esteem of women and girls especially. Television, motion pictures, and magazines have distorted and often altered the image of the perfect body. (That body you want to imitate probably has been retouched beyond reality, so how could you possibly hope to look like that? I wonder what affect the movie "Avatar" will have on our body image?) There is no perfectly "shaped" body to my knowledge, there is however a "healthy body". We are all meant to be shaped differently. We are not "cookie cutter" images, we are people, and each of us is perfect in our own way.
Listen everyone, young or old, life isn't about "FAT" life is about "FIT".
I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician. I am not a trainer or exercise guru. But I have some suggestions for a fit life, and if it sounds good to you, "ask your doctor" if it is right for you.
Most people can eat everything in moderation. Portion control is not about counting calories, in my opinion, it is about the size of the serving. Stop and think....just how big do you think your stomach is? How healthy can it be to repeatedly stuff it beyond its intended capacity? Measure your portions if you must, but don't overeat. It is better to eat more smaller meals instead of three enormous meals each day.
Take smaller bites and chew your food well, and no second helpings. Eat slowly. Have a pleasant conversation with friends or family while eating. It takes time for your body to recognize that it is full. Chewing your food longer will make it easier to digest and will cause you to eat less. Pay attention to what you are eating. Enjoy the taste and feel of your food, but slowly. There seems to be some controversy about whether you shou

Children Book Reviews
Hello everyone for the next three posts I will not do any reviews. I am reading many children books that will be recommended for everyone in about a month. I will be blogging to everyone about a very special place I am visiting right now. I will tell you about miracles that went on here. I will also share my experience. I am doing lots of reading and when I update in April I will have more children book suggestions for librarians, children and parents. I will also add my first book review. Enjoy these posts.
Miracles Happen Here
First time I heard about Hippocrates Health Institute was when my parents came home with the stories of miracles that took place there: the man whose cancer tumor shrunk, the man whose kidney stones vanished, the woman who got out of her wheel chair and the small girl who was brought here as a last resort to awake her from a coma.
No, it was not some kind of a magical healer who used his hands on them, or some kind of special enchanted well. Every one of these individuals were guided in healing and had a major lifestyle shift. Now I am here myself witnessing more stories of recovery. I want to tell you one story that could touch anyone. A lady came here six weeks ago in very horrible shape: she wanted to kill herself. Almost 80 percent of her skin had one of the worst skin disease. In just six weeks most of her skin disease vanished. Initially, her daughter sent her for a three weeks stay, but then her stay was extended a bit more. Her daughter promised to come also but she made excuses in her home life to come later and later. She eventually showed up and even brought her brother. Yesterday they all made a speech of thanks at graduation ceremony. One word stood out from the rest of her speech; "Gratitude" On top of being thankful for getting back her mother, she was thankful of being together as a family.
This is my second time here, but my parents have been coming since 2006 after my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease disease about seven years ago. He was told by the top doctor that he will be in a wheel chair in four years. It now has been almost seven years and my dad's symptoms have stayed stable. .
Hippocrates is not only a health center but also top new age spa. Every one talks with each other and gives love and support on this journey we take together.
The combination of diet, speeches, sun, spa treatments you never heard of plus the common treatments found everywhere make this a wonderful place. It is like going back to camp for adults. Amazingly this year their are many young children who have come to support there parents. I will share more stories and give some more details on how this program is run in my other posts. Look for my next one on Friday. Please look at the website found on my blog.

Now-a-days kids are not liking to eat normal food and vegetables but they always wants spicy food like Chips, chocolate etc. Some says this is for vaccination. Are there any solution to it? What about your kids?
Dr. Currie
Children need to be shown the right way to eat. Children learn by example, if Dad is eating a whole bag of greasy chips and drinking a sugary cola so will the kids.
They also need to understand why some things are good for you and others are bad. When the dentist says they need lots of fillings, explain that the cavities were caused by lots of sugary foods and acid beverages that eat away their tooth enamel.
When they are very young you are in absolute control of what they eat. Make sure you are doing your job.
Thanks for stopping by.
Shari
It's all about moderation!
And making lifestyle changes is far more effective and permanent than going on any fad diet.
Great post, Shari.
It's all baout moderation.
Europeans cook most of their food in butter, yet they aren't fat. That's because they eat small. Quantity makes all the difference.
Thanks for your comment on Pets & Authors, by the way. :-)
I agree whole heartedly.
And, my name is Michele, too, by the way!
Now, that's common sense.
Wonderful advice!
