November 3, 2019November 8, 2019 David WardAppetite, Diet, Obesity

Appetites are powerful. They are the cause of every form of bad that can come to our lives. If allowed to take their natural course in our lives, they can destroy our greatest potential – especially when it comes to what we put into our mouth.

In the last week, I have been inundated with correspondence from subscribers to the Veggie Chronicles newsletter who have recently received an installment with my Time for Change $1000 Health Challenge.

Ever feel like you have been sold something that you didn’t want? Of course you have. We all have. BUT, have you ever been sold something that you didn’t need but were convinced that you needed it. When I say convinced, I mean really convinced. So convinced that you now feel a compulsion to continue using it? Same answer. Yes, you have.

There are four immediate benefits of a healthy diet; and, surprisingly, none of them have anything to do with physical health or losing weight. Yes, your physical health and losing unneeded pounds is a GREAT reason to change your diet, and a person who is overweight is definitely going to benefit physically from changing to a healthy diet, but that is something that takes time to realize the results – sometimes several months or even longer. If you are struggling with being overweight, and especially if you are clinically…
