WHAT FRUIT ARE YOU?.................

THE RIGHTEOUS ONE WILL LEAVE BY FAITH(HABAKKUK2:4)

The most common ways body shape is categorized is FRUIT!
If most of your body fat is found below your hips and on your butt and thighs,for example,you're a "PEAR" because you are heavier on the bottom than on the top.A pear often have cellulite on her lower abdominal region and legs,while her upper body is relatively slim.When a pear gains 5 pounds,at least 4 of those are found below her waist

An "APPLE",on the other hand,has a rounder appearance,with more fullness to the top.Most of her body fat can be found around her waist and midsection.An apple usually have a wide torso with a fullness to her breast,waist,and upper back.An apple shaped woman likely has slim thighs and a flat bottom.When she gains 5 pounds,at least 4 of them go to her belly.

If you don't look quite like a pear or an apple,you may be an "AVOCADO"when you gain 5 pounds,they are distributed equally between your belly and your butt.Avocados may vary when it comes to the size of their thighs and breast,but in general,they usually are capable of attaining the slim and trim "ATHLETIC BODY TYPE"and when you get to that point,we,ll start calling you a banana.

DIVINE DIET............

FOR THE LORD IS GOOD,AND HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL;HIS FAITHFULNESS ENDURES THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS.(JOHN3:16).

The Greens and Berries diet........The Grains and Fruits diet.......In both diet plans,you choose proteins from lean meats,fish,whey protein,nuts,beans.Your choice of healthy fats will come from cold water fish,nuts,seeds,avocado's,olive oil and canola oils.Carbohydrate choices will be those that are least processed.The greens and berries diet focuses primary on green vegetables that are highest in fiber and berries(it is more of fruit and vegetable diet)meant for those that can,t process carbohydrate.

The grains and fruits diet include a wider variety of fruits and permits whole grains such as brown rice,whole grain pastas,and whole grain bread.

The diet mix that is best for you will depend on how well your body uses carbohydrates. successful fat lose is dictated by your body's ability to process carbohydrate correctly.

Where you store fat matters not just because of how you lose weight.Food and exercise have a big impact.Exercising too little and eating too much-even if the food is low fat or low carb will cause you to put on body fat.

AN EARLY MORNING WALK IS A BLESSING FOR THE WHOLE DAY!

DIVINE BODY DIET

BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY(JAMES1:22)

GREENS AND BERRIES DIET......One micro nutrient mix,offers 20 to 30 percent of calories from carbs (90 to 120 grams of carbohydrate per day),35 to 45 percent of calories from fat(60 to 35 grams),and 30 to 35 percent of calories from protein(120 to 140 grams).

THE GRAINS AND FRUITS DIET.....contains 35 to45 percent of calories from carbs(150 to185 grams),25 to35 percent of calories from fat(50 to 55 grams),and 25 to 30 percent of calories from protein(120 to 140 grams)...........Cont.

DIVINE BODY DIET...........

DON,T YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD'S SANCTUARY AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU?(1CORINTHIANS3:16).

When it comes to achieving your perfect size,ONE SIZE DOESN'T,T FIT ALL.

The divine body diet is unique because it offers options.It's an 8 week program based on two eating plans,both of which include balanced percentage of carbohydrate,proteins,and fat.One plan is slightly higher in carbs,for women whose bodies react better to carbohydrates;the other is a bit lower,for those who do not metabolize carbohydrate as well.

Either of these plans will work for most women,but only one will be right for you.Once you determine which of the options suits your body best,you'll get immediate confirmation that it's the right regimen for you because it will fit into your lifestyle easily and you'll find that you are satisfied,full,functioning normally throughout the day.

Best of all,you'll be able to stick with it for the long term,even after you've achieved your DIVINE BODY.

The two eating plans will give you most satisfaction,the greatest fat loss,the fullest health benefits.They are;

A.The Greens and Berries Diet.

B.The Grains and Fruits Diet...............to be cont.

NOTE......EAT TO LIVE,AND NOT LIVE TO EAT.

UNUSED FUEL.....IS.....FAT!

FOR THE LORD IS GOOD,AND HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL;HIS FAITHFULNESS ENDURES THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS(PSALM 100:5).

UNUSED FUEL IS STORED AS FAT........The amount of fuel used to run the body varies from person to person as does the resting rate.The basal metabolic rate(BMR) is the amount of energy required by the resting body to stay alive.It is not a fixed number.The rate at which people are becoming overweight suggest there is a lot of unused fuel being carried around.

INCONSISTENT EATING.......One fact remains true,inconsistent eating habits cause wild swings in blood sugar and consequently insulin levels.These problems are partly to blame for this new epidemic of overweight-related disease.Most of us consume only two meals per day;breakfast being the meal often avoided.Other times meals are eaten with so many hours in between that blood sugar level dance out of control.When we eat inconsistently,the body does not know what fuel to expert and when.Our BMI becomes sluggish as a result.

SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE.....is also to blame for reduced metabolic rate.An active lifestyle will increase it.This all suggest that it is possible to manipulate the BMR.This is good news!If you know you could accelerate your metabolic rate in order to chase away unwanted fat,wouldn't you do it?People have forgotten the simple art of eating and exercising regularly.But it is completely within your capacity to alter your BMR-either lessening or increasing it.

FITNESS IS A STATE OF THE BODY AND A STATE OF MIND:IF YOUR MIND LEADS,YOUR BODY FOLLOW.

SOCIAL STIMULANTS........ALCOHOL(ROADBLOCK TO A FLAT TUMMY).

DON'T WORRY ABOUT LIFE,WHAT YOU WILL EAT  OR WHAT YOU WILL DRINK;OR ABOUT YOUR BODY,WHAT YOU WILL WEAR.ISN'T LIFE MORE THAN FOOD AND THE BODY MORE THAN CLOTHING.(MATTHEW6:25).

ALCOHOL...........As far as your body is concerned,alcohol is chemically similar to sugar,so drinking any form of alcohol will set off the blood sugar seesaw that promotes weight gain.And that is before you even begin to consider the calorie content of the drink itself,which is likely to be very high and devoid of any nutritional benefit-so called 'empty calories' what's more,alcohol acts as a potent appetite booster,so more alcohol equals more food consumed!

However,excessive calories are not the sole reason behind alcohols'beer belly'effect.What alcohol does is to reduce the amount of fat your belly burns for energy,while preventing the absorption of many of the essential nutrients needed for successful weight loss,particularly the B vitamins and vitamin C.

According to a study carried out by American journal of clinical nutrition,eighty men were given two drinks of vodka and sugar free lemonade,30 minutes apart.Each drink contained just under 90 calories

Fat metabolism was measured before and after consumption of the drink.for several hours after drinking the vodka,the men's whole body lipid oxidation,which is a measure of how much fat your body uses dropped by a massive 73 percent.Because your body uses more than one source of fuel,if alcohol is consumed then this alcohol'energy' will be used instead of fat.

For men who yearn for a muscular physique,alcohol is also bad news,as it is one of the most effective ways to slash your testosterone levels.Just a single bout of heavy drinking raises levels of the muscle-wasting hormone cortisol and increases the breakdown of testosterone for up to 24 hours.

JESUS GIVES US THE ULTIMATE REST,THE CONFIDENCE WE NEED,TO ESCAPE THE FRUSTRATION AND CHAOS OF THE WORLD AROUND US..

SOCIAL STIMULANTS........CAFFEINE!

THE LORD SAYS,"I WILL MAKE YOU WISE AND SHOW YOU WHERE TO GO.I WILL GUARD YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU"(PSALM32:8)

 

CAFFEINE.........We are all familiar with the' buzz' that caffeine can give.Many products are marked solely on the basis of this false energy kick,but that lively feeling is actually the sensation of adrenaline being pumped around the body as a result of the caffeine hit.Much like the cells in the sugar story,the adrenal glands tire of constant stimulation and when the inevitable adrenal fatigue kicks in it leads to a slow-down in the conversion of stored fats(and proteins and carbohydrate)into energy.

We experience this failure in the energy chain as a craving for more stimulants in the form of another cup of tea,coffee,cola drink or caffeinated beverage.The last piece of the picture with caffeine is what it usually comes with.An average coffee these days comes with a sizable potion of milk,sugar and syrup and then there's the ubiquitous question of whether to have a cookie or pastry with it.CUT OUT THE CAFFEINE AND CUT YOURSELF AN EASIER PATH TO WEIGHT LOSS.

DISCIPLINE IS TRAINING THAT DEVELOPS AND CORRECTS!

THE BIBLE CALLS FOR DISCIPLE!

YOUR VISA TO SOUND HEALTH....

YOUR VISA TO SOUND HEALTH........

SOCIAL STIMULANTS..........SALT.

AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD:BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND(ROMANS12:2).

Social stimulants........SALT......The organic salt or sodium found naturally in plants is not the same as the salt or sodium choloride that is used in food manufacturing or table salt.Processed salt displaces or 'washes out' nutrients from the body's cells.These nutrients are needed for blood sugar control and water balance,so after consuming salt you are much likely to crave substances that give a 'quick fix'(usually more of the salty snack you were eating......one pop just can't stop......and you will feel thirsty)thirst is often mistaken for hunger so,guess what,you eat more!Excess salt is also known to contribute towards high blood pressure.

SO........Throw that table salt over your shoulder!Use sea salt instead.Table salt contains two nutrients while sea salt contains ninety-two nutrients.sea salt contains the minerals iron,sulfur and magnesium,to name a few,which help to promote efficient functioning of the liver,kidney,and adrenal glands.THEY ALSO HELP YOU SLEEP.Table salt will deteriorate your health,causing high blood pressure,and other heart and kidney disease.

NOTE.....REPLACE TABLE SALT SHAKER WITH SALT FROM THE SEA!

SUGER..........THE LEGAL COCAINE

BELOVED,I PRAY THAT IN ALL RESPECTS YOU MAY PROSPER AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH,JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.(3JOHN1:2).

Sugar the legal cocaine......cont.........Why is it so important to choose one type of carbohydrate over another?....When you eat a simple carbohydrate,an alarm is triggered that tells the body there is sugar in your blood.Your body responds to this sudden rush by releasing a hormone called insulin,which brings down your sugar levels by putting a form of sugar called glucose into either your cells,where it is burnt as energy,or into your liver or muscles for storage.The trouble is when you eat a lot of sugar regularly,the insulin response becomes overloaded,resulting in the sugar being more readily stored as fat.This is how eating simple carbohydrates can lead to weight gain.

Unfortunately,the sugar story does not end there.Every time a simple carbohydrate triggers the release of insulin in your body,your cells have to react.However,if the presence of sugar in your blood becomes the norm,rather than an infrequent and special occurrence,over time your cells tire of this constant demand and become less sensitive to the insulin.This means glucose is not put into the cells,where it can be used up and burnt,so more of the sugary food you eat is stored as fat.To add insult to injury,the final blow to weight loss is that insulin is also known to hinder the stored fat from being burnt as an energy source.In order words, not only does sugar make you fatter,IT WILL KEEP YOU THAT WAY!

HORROR.......CANCER CELLS AND FIBROID MULTIPLY WERE SUGAR IS READILY AVAILABLE!

NOTE.......VIRTUE-EVEN ATTEMPTED VIRTUE-BRINGS LIGHT;INDULGENCE BRINGS FOG.

SOCIAL STIMULANTS.....SUGAR

THE INTENSE PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS VERY POWERFUL.(JAMES5:16).

#Sugar.....The legal cocaine......You may 've heard of blood sugar before,perhaps in reference to diabetes or glycemic index (GI),and keeping your blood sugar steady is vital for weight loss.However,controlling blood sugar is easy when you understand the differing effect simple and complex carbohydrates have on the body once you've consumed them.In essence, simple carbohydrates promote weight gain,whereas complex carbohydrates help you maintain or even lose weight.

Sugar-white or -brown is a simple carbohydrate.examples of other simple carbohydrates include fruit juice,white-bread,biscuits,cakes,honey,molasses,and Maple syrup.simple carbohydrate,which are also known as refined sugars,are often hidden within 'DIET' and LOW FAT' products,so you must get label savvy in order to detect them.These simple carbohydrate are broken down and digested very quickly,and contain very few essential vitamins and minerals. Examples of complex carbohydrates include vegetables,wholemeal breads,pulses,brown rice and wholemeal pasta.complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and are packed with fiber,vitamins,minerals all of which are helpful for DIVINE DIET..

NOTE.....HEALTH IS NOT VALUED UNTIL SICKNESS COMES.

SOCIAL STIMULANTS.........SUGAR!

I AM OFFERING YOU LIFE OR DEATH,BLESSING OR CURSES.NOW,CHOOSE LIFE!........TO CHOOSE LIFE IS TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD,OBEY HIM,AND STAY CLOSE TO HIM.(DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20).

SOCIAL STIMULANTS...........These are factors or foods that are so common in our everyday lives that we fail to see them as a  problem.They often fall under the weight-loss rader,but without an awareness of the impact they have on weight gain you're missing a big trick.Sugar,salt,caffeine,alcohol and cigarettes are the main culprits that you need to look at for in DIVINE DIET!

 #..SUGAR......The legal cocaine......Far from being a friend for work,rest and play,for anyone who wants to lose weight,age gracefully and enjoy DIVINE HEALTH,you have to give up sugar.

NOTE....HE WHO DOES NOT OVERCOME SMALL FAULTS,SHALL FALL LITTLE BY LITTLE INTO GREATER  ONES..

KNOWNG HOW MANY CALORIES TO CUT.......

CHRIST WILL BE MAGNIFIED IN MY BODY.........(PHIL1:20).

How many calories do i cut to lose weight?............Because there are 3,500 calories in a pound and 7 days in a week,you can cut your daily calorie intake by 500 to lose 1 pound a week(3,500/7=500)to lose 1 and half pounds,you need to cut 750 calories a day.A 2 pound  a week  loss means eliminating 1,000 calories a day.A faster rate of weight loss is generally associated with weight regain and yo-yo dieting.Remember the tortoise and the hare:Slow and steady wins the race.

DON't EAT OR DRINK THIS....IT IS A NEW MONTH!

A SIMPLE LIFE IN THE FEAR OF GOD IS BETTER THAN A RICH LIFE WITH A TON OF  HEADACHES(PROVERBS 15:16)

EAT CLEAN THIS MONTH!

PERFECT COCKTAIL....A BLESSING.

FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM;FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING(PROVERBS2:6).

PERFECT COCKTAIL.......A BLESSING.

YOU DO NOT HAVE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK.(JAMES4:2)

CALORIE LEVEL FOR WEIGHTLOSS...........

THE WISE PEOPLE WILL SHINE LIKE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SKY.THOSE WHO TEACH OTHERS TO LIVE RIGHT WILL SHINE LIKE STARS FOREVER AND EVER.(DANIEL12:3).

SETTING A REASONABLE CALORIE LEVEL FOR WEIGHT LOSS:.......To lose weight,you ve to cut down on how much you eat-But not too much.If you try to cut too many calories,you may not lose any weight at all.When you cut calories severely,your metabolic rate slows to adjust to the lower calorie level.In addition,you probably won't be able to stick to your plan for very long,because you'll be hungry all the time..

NOTE:...Too much food isn't the only cause of obesity;lack of exercise is also part of the formula.So when you think about dieting,you need to redefine your definition to mean cutting calories and upping exercise.

Don't cut your calorie level drastically when trying to lose weight;this strategy will backfire.Your body is programed to defend your usual weight,so when calories are cut severely-to fewer than 800 to 1,000 a day-your metabolic rate adjusts to conserve the few calories you give your body.You won't lose weight faster than if you allowed yourself to enjoy 1,200 to 1,500 a day.Fortunately,when you overeat occasionally,your metabolism speeds up to burn the extra calories,too-ever striving to maintain your normal weight

NOTE.......HE WHO DOES NOT OVERCOME SMALL FAULTS,SHALL FALL LITTLE BY LITTLE INTO GREATER ONES..
