Forget the fads, hypes, or gimmicks and use sheer Christian power. The Bible says you can do it, and if you're reading this excerpt, then surely you want to obtain weight loss satisfaction.
Don't be surprised that what the Christian Bible reveals about reducing body fat and eating right -- is the same as what expert fitness instructors, personal trainers, nutrition counselors, and alternative medicinal practitioners will tell you. And, this fact, in itself, may be your clue that simply "getting it done" is your major challenge to overcome.
Okay. With that said, let's get right down to the business of losing weight.
What is your true, long-term, no-gimmick solution to getting rid of unwanted body fat?
As a Christian, you have an added advantage over millions of other people who wish they could lose weight successfully. Your extra plus is this... you possess the combined knowledge of scripture plus science. You can therefore use scriptural guidelines in combination with proven weight management expertise to bring pounds down to a minimum.
Considering that losing weight can be a superlatively vast and complex matter, allow today to be a simplistic one. In that, just focus on one crucial component that affects your body composition -- that is, eating with the lowest possible saturated fat intake.
Everybody knows, Christian and non Christian alike, that exercise and eating are primary weight loss tools. However, with that oh-so-common formula, there can still easily exist one missing link to your fat loss triumph. That would be your emotional, intellectual, or spiritual will power.
An all too common Christian cliche is this one: "The Body Is Willing, But The Flesh Is Weak." Yes, a very true statement, and not only from a Christian lifestyle perspective. Inclusively, this statement for all people around the world means that in our lives, we all find it difficult to MAKE OURSELVES DO THINGS that can be powerfully beneficial. Makes little sense, logically speaking, yet the body is not about "logic." The human body is more like a baby who must learn how to be adapt to, and/or be satisfied with whatever he or she is acclimated, exposed to, shown, or taught.
Then, too, notice that a baby has no trouble with BEING ABLE to eat, rather his or her challenge is to learn what food intakes will cause unpleasant reactions afterward. Trial and error would be the baby's experience, if it were not for the sound, caring advice and guidance of the parent.
In this analogy, parental expertise or supervision provides the child with a great list of foods to choose -- and all of these foods already pass the test for beneficial nutrition, stimulative growth factors, and positive long-term health.
If a baby can eat so wisely, why can't you, as a Christian adult? The answer is, You Can. Although you're not a baby any more (hopefully:-) it's time for you to again benefit from the advice, guidance, and supervision of your overseer. And, for the Christian, this is Jesus Christ, whose words on healthy eating and care of the body live on and remain available to you via biblical principle.
