Dieting? Mental Activity is as Important as PhysicalWritten by Dr. Jamie Fettig
Activity means both mental and physical activity. Mental activity is similar to physical activity. And I am not talking about worry. That is not constructive mental activity. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was? Well, it isn’t. When I talk about mental activity, I am talking about creativity, using mind creatively. It does not have to be “art,” either. Creativity comes in many shapes and forms. Doing all upgrading and re-hardwiring of your brain to help you be slim and sexy is mental activity. You can be a lawyer and be solving cases, figuring out creative ways to win case. You can be an architect and use your mind to create projects. You can read books and use your mind to create pictures and connections and “movie in your head.” You can do problem solving activities, like crossword puzzles or some card and board games, anything where you are creating new thoughts, new patterns of thinking, and different ways of looking at things. This is mental activity.

The confusion about eating healthy and dieting will now be cleared up, all in one easy sentence. Are you ready? Everyone is different. What is healthy for one person is not going to be best diet for everyone else. You are different than everyone else. What food is best for you is not necessarily going to be what is right for everyone else. Some people do well on meat, others don’t. Some people are fine with lots of carbs, others not. What food is best for you is really dependent on you and your lifestyle. I will make it really simple to help you figure out what is good. There are a couple of general rules of thumb that apply to everyone. They are really simple. Are you ready? 1.Fresh 2.Pure It is that simple. All food you eat, no matter what kind you eat, should be fresh and pure. It is that simple. Then, just listen to your inner knowing, and it will tell you what to eat that is fresh and pure. If you are craving steak, eat steak. If you want veggies, eat veggies. If you want some fruit, eat fruit. If you want some nuts or seeds, eat nuts and seeds. When your choices of food are always from fresh and pure categories, you will eat exactly what you need to eat without having to worry about your carbs, calories, fat, cholesterol, or anything. It’s so simple. So what does fresh mean? Fresh generally means not in a can or box. Most things that are put into cans and boxes are old and dead. The life force has been long gone from food. It is no longer fresh. Now, stuff in a box or can may be fresh, but it usually isn’t. Frozen stuff can go either way. Frozen stuff is usually fresher than boxed or canned stuff. It has to be, because it cannot last as long frozen as it can in a box or can.
