Calorie Restriction

Today I want to tell you why you should go hungry for a change.

Most Americans eat three meals a day and guzzle soft drinks and snack on junk food during many of the rest of their waking hours.

That's why we, as a culture, weigh more than any society in the history of the earth.

And most Americans feel tired and blue a lot of the time.

If you're not happy and energetic and feeling on top of your game before you sit down for your next meal, try calorie restriction by skipping that meal.

It's amazing how much better you'll feel.

This simple solution of calorie restriction to defeat the blahs sounds weird, I know, but it works in most cases, and it's a lot cheaper than pigging out on two big Macs, a coke, and an order of nasty fries cremated in sickening hydrogenated oils.

Luigi Cornaro figured this out back in 14th century Italy, for Pete's sake. Click here to read what he had to say in one of his four famous discourses on how to lead a healthy life.

So practice calorie restriction several times a week to give your stomach and digestive system a break. Even they need a rest from a meal once in a while.

  1. I loved this post. It's words like these I need on a daily basis to achieve a sufficient level of determination and willpower to abstain from the neverending parade of processed and ultra-tasty but bad-for-you oral temptations that I seem to encounter on a daily basis. THANK YOU Luigi!
