Raw Food Diet Now

A touching cry for help

Yesterday I received a very touching message. I asked the author for and received permission to share the message.

I’m sure you will relate — as I did — because we’ve all been there (or are there now):

I started reading The China Study. I’m only on page 38, but thus far it’s pretty convincing. I have been thinking a lot about food/diet stuff. I’ve been thinking a lot for the last several months about my diet.

I’ve been so unhappy with it all. I hate the way I eat, the way I look, and the way I feel, and I have for a long time now. I really have felt like something’s gotta give. I have known that I need to change something, I just always thought I needed to stop eating cookies and pizza. Now I’m thinking it might be more than that.

Since you’ve already gone through all this, I was hoping you could help me. I don’t really know where to start or what to change first, and I know I shouldn’t do it all at once. Can you help me?

I don’t want to be like everyone else. I don’t want to feel like crap anymore. I don’t want to take prescription drugs anymore. Most of all, I don’t want to feel like a prisoner anymore. I have been enslaved by what I put in my mouth, and I need to take control of the situation. At this point, I have lost control, and I don’t like feeling that way. I want something better for myself, and I’m willing to open my mind now to things I may have previously shunned.

Can you/will you help me get started?

The “Lazy Person’s” Secret to Success

Reaching your goals and achieving success is hard, right?

There are so many different paths to achieving your goals. How do you know you’re on the right track?

Well I’ve found that there’s one path that’s a shortcut. One that offers a higher chance for success.

No matter what you’re fixin’ to do. Whether your goal is career, relationship, financial… Or weight. Or health. Or raw foods.

Many of the world’s most highly successful people know this secret. And they use it over and over again to propel themselves higher and higher.

It’s got to be something that’s out of reach for “normal” people, right?

Absolutely not! It’s really quite simple. And everyone can do it.

Here’s how:

Find someone who’s already achieved what you want. Study how they did it. Then do the exact same things they did!

This is called “modelling.” It’s a very powerful concept. And it’s the fastest and easiest way to success.

Why blaze a new trail, take missteps, and risk making the same mistakes… When you can follow a proven path?

That’s why I called it the “lazy person’s” secret. You don’t have to waste time and energy thinking about the “how.” So you can focus entirely on the “what.”

Now that doesn’t necessarily mean the actual DOING part of it — the “what” — will be easy. (I put “lazy person’s” in quotes in the title for this reason.) But modelling does minimize your risk of failure.

Think of it this way. Walking uphill is hard work, no matter how you slice it. But you could start up the mountain on your own, only to get stuck halfway up and realize you went the wrong way. Or you could look for an established path, and increase your chances of making it to the top.

Make sense?
