Here’s some good advice by Bruce Fife, MD, from his book, The Fat That Can Make You Thin:
Research has shown that those who get an adequate amount of fat in their diet generally eat less than those who try to reduce fat intake. The less you eat, the fewer calories you consume. Getting an adequate amount of fat in the diet is essential for effective and permanent weight loss. When people become hungry soon after a meal, they tend to overeat at the next. One of the reasons why fat is necessary for successful weight loss is that it satisfies hunger, helps in reducing appetite and lowering total food consumption. Fat slows down the emptying of the stomach, so that you feel full longer. When you are less hungry during the day, you will cut down on snacks and eat less at mealtime. As a result, you consume fewer calories. Even though fat contains more calories than either protein or carbohydrates, its effect on curbing appetite more than makes up for the extra calories it contains.
Stay away from FAT-FREE on the label:
Fat-free does not mean healthy. When you see fat-free on the label, be assured that the company is trying to deceive you, so don't buy it. Most fat-free products are simply loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar and chemicals.
Dear Nancy,
Thank you very much for sharing me such information about health tips.
I do follow some of the advise and look forward of some changes as far as my health is concern.
More power.
Yours,
Jesusa or just call me Susie

Hello Nancy!
I came across your website, which looks awesome! It looks like things are going well for you! Thought I'd email you see how things are.
I have been busy working as an esthetics manager at a spa....still not doing what I really want, which is opening my own spa but thats in the works and I always think positive.
I have recently been changing my diet. I eat 6 times a day, fresh fruits and veggies etc...lost some weight but now incorporating exercise so I feel even better! I see a Natropathic Doctor and tell him about working with you, he was impressed on things I know.
How are things in Bancroft?

Hi Nancy,
I look forward to receiving your latest email each time. There is always so much "food" for thought. Art and I have a lemon and hot water every morning now. We eat sprouts 2 X a day. I even juiced wheat grass for the first time last weekend.... only a little mixed in with carrot, orange, apple and beets. Wow, very potent. Because I am away from home 12 to 13 hours a day during the week, I do juicing and cooking on the weekend only. Thank you for the soup and sauce you sent along with Art. He came home from Bancroft on Sunday, just in time for a tomato curry I'd made. I added a few spoons of the sauce you made.......... perfect! Will try to write more often, now that school is in full swing. Take care. Miss our visits

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your encouraging lessons. Am grateful and will let others knows. I was diagnosed as having arthritis two months ago and pains seems not ending. I stopped taking sugar immediately I started the lessons and I have noticed a change in my body.
