Why we eat this way, And helps!

After struggle for years to lose weight we found this way of eating that follows the plan the LORD has laid out. We used the book The Starch Solution, by Dr. McDougall but there are others that follow this healthy way of eating too, like Dr. Barnard's books (Reversing Diabetes, to name one) 

These are NOT affiliate links. We don't get anything if you buy these books. You should check your local library, most have these books!

Here is what the Lord has to say:

D & C 89:

2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the ^aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and ^bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—

3 Given for a principle with ^apromise, adapted to the capacity of the ^bweak and the weakest of all ^csaints, who are or can be called saints.

4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of ^aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of ^bconspiring men in the last days, I have ^cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—

11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with ^aprudence and ^bthanksgiving.

12 Yea, ^aflesh also of ^bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used ^csparingly;

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be ^aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or ^bfamine.

14 All ^agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

15 And ^athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

16 All grain is good for the ^afood of man; as also the ^bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—

17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ^ashall receive ^bhealthin their navel and marrow to their bones;

19 And shall ^afind ^bwisdom and great ^ctreasures of ^dknowledge, even hidden treasures;

20 And shall ^arun and not be ^bweary, and shall walk and not faint.

21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the ^adestroyingangel shall ^bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

2 of the BEST BOOKS on healthy eating I've read:
The Starch Solution by Dr. John Mcdougall. It is available at your library and on Amazon for 13ish dollars. Worth Buying!

And here is the link to Dr. McDougall's web page LOADED with FREE info!  

And for a more in-depth and excellent book Mastering Diabetes is fantastic! 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0593542045?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

FYI: The book contains all the info you’ll need 😉 While I do LOVE this book, I do not like their website. I feel it is nothing but a sales pitch! The book is all you need! And some great recipe sites for this way of eating~(See my Planitful Kiki link below. She is AwEsOmE!) Here is the Mastering Diabetes website~ https://www.masteringdiabetes.org

However, I do like their  youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@MasteringDiabetes

https://www.amazon.com/Neal-Barnards-Program-Reversing-Diabetes/dp/1635651271/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FOP1REI75QGV&keywords=neal+barnard+books&qid=1703975442&sprefix=neal+Barn%2Caps%2C421&sr=8-1

And lastly, Neal Barnard! He is good, and Fact Based, which I love!  He has a great YouTube page which is run under his committee, Physicians Connittee. He also has books about eating that deal with hormones,  Food additions, etc  https://www.youtube.com/@PhysiciansCommittee
