Fixing Input
Now that you know your BMI, your status quo is clear. If the number is >25, then you must do something about it. The first step in the right direction is fixing your input.
Once the input is fixed, let us go and take care of the rest. This order matters because our body has an innate healing ability. Once the right fuel is given, it ensures all the system flaws are auto-corrected. I have noticed umpteen number of times that every time I take care of input, the machine (body) works magnificently. So here is a prescription for your input based on your biology and epigenetic roots.
I derived at this meter after a number of experiments. The underlying principles are simple. We are trying to work with the human system and not against it. Here are some considerations and rationale behind the meter.
Food the way it is made by nature (organic) has all nutrients intact.
From an evolutionary perspective, cooking is what grew our brains. So staying with simple cooked food seems to have done more good than harm.
Your epigenetic is nothing but a form of memory. It remembers your roots and where you came from. Depending upon your roots, those foods worked for you. A simple thumb rule is: If your grandmother gave you a dish it is good for you. Stick to your roots.
Our teeth are made for plant based foods. Unfortunately we don’t have teeth like tiger which can tear and eat up raw meat. The biology suggests we are made for vegetarian diet. Don’t kill me for that 🤷🏽♀️
Our alimentary canal is 30 feet long, which means that foods that are hard on digestion (takes longer) turns into poison. It is just our biology and has nothing to do with morals, humanity and other BS.
Before you ingest anything into your body, just ask, What i am about to eat, what is the number on the scale? Then allow your brain to do the decision making. Typically it decides for the body and not against it when you care about yourself deeply (which i hope you do).
🥂to fixes!
