So in order to find these bad things and eliminate them requires introspection, it requires looking at oneself hard and long. However, there is still a problem. When we are searching within our minds, we have to have a standard to do comparison with. Otherwise, how will we find anything? How will it stand out?

Let's look to one of greatest thinkers of Western world, Socrates. What did Socrates do with is life? Didn't he teach others about virtue? Interesting, isn't it? One of most influential people in western thinking emphasized virtue to his students. Socrates talked about things like absolute goodness, beauty and truth.

If someone as great, as well loved and respected as Socrates thought these things were important, perhaps therein lies key to mind-body connection. To live a truly healthy and worthwhile life, maybe virtuous thoughts like truth and goodness are what our minds should embrace rather than negative things modern life finds us clinging too.

Remember what Bernie said, "I find patient always has made some drastic change toward a more loving and accepting outlook." When we embrace truth and goodness, beauty of life and this vast universe that we live in becomes evident. That is when we can heal our bodies. Real healing happens in mind.

Not all carbs are equal, just as not all proteins are equal. For successful weight loss a quality and good level of proteins must be adhered to (and level necessary is different for each individual) to stop body starting to burn muscle up for energy. Quality protein maintains muscle mass while decreasing body fat density. A good carb programme incorporates body fat testing into its regime, wherever possible.

Prehistoric man wasn’t fat. He existed on lots of protein from animals, nuts and seeds, fresh fruits and natural vegetation. Grains, potatoes and rice did not exist and although our world has evolved to grow and produce these ingredients, our bodies have evolved at a much slower rate and are not as yet primed to cope with them. So really as we have brought troubles on ourselves it is up to us to rectify problems.

Just why did we make them taste so good?

Here’s to successful weight loss!
