Mindful Eating
As you will read elsewhere, I am back after an extended absence and I am not only in a new place, but doing new things.
My first outside project is obesity treatment, with a generous share of my methods and philosophy to help those of you who want to lose weight.
My own weight loss was quite dramatic — approx 200 lbs — and I’ve kept the weight off for about 5 years now. How did I do it — drugs? surgery? diet and exercise?
No — I used some really plain old common sense and research supplementation. Together with the proper mindset, this is what will give anyone the longest lasting and safest weight loss possible.
I’m sharing with you a portion of a new book that I will publish soon. Here is a taste, as we say in the dieting business: Read more on Mindful Eating…

Have you been told that you have high cholesterol? Or at least that you have to watch what you eat so you don’t get high cholesterol?

She was twitching. A sweet little girl only 23 years old with make-up and a hair-do that probably cost her more than one week’s worth of my salary.
I once saw a professional opera production of Donizetti’s “Daughter of the Regiment.” The leading lady — whose hair I remember because she was a redhead like me — had a less elaborate hairdo. But unlike the diva of the opera, this young lady twitched. My God, could this girl twitch.
The therapist at the agency who called for my assistance in this unusual case went out of her way to tell me that this girl was not a substance abuser. This adorable Dresden Doll of a woman did not abuse substances and she was twitching faster and faster as she and a social worker aide sat in my office. And she was getting more nervous. I always try to relax people and to make them feel at home, but this girl was a bundle of nerves.
The best news was that she had not seen another psychiatrist or even a general doctor. A “normal” medico would have zonked this little doll with drugs to keep her zombied-out – the standard treatment for nervousness in most health facilities. Ugggh!
