Hi all,
In the news was another story about yet another weight loss drug that was causing health problems. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that a drug that is prescribed for weight loss, that’s right.. prescribed, is putting people at increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
This isn’t the first time and I’m sure it won’t be the last where people will be putting their health at greater risk by looking for a magic pill.
When people try to change the outside without changing the inside they have no chance at lasting weight loss..and it’s been proven again, possibly do more harm than good.
To achieve lasting weight loss, as discussed in my TV interview, one must change from the inside out. Part of that change is understanding temptation and how to limit the power temptation has over you.
Enough preaching..I hope you all have a fun and safe labor day weekend!
God bless,
Danny

Hi all,
You’ve heard the quote from the Bible, “Faith without works is dead.” In everyday language that means God expects us to not only ask for help but use the abilities he has given us. My Dad use to put it another way, “Pray to God but keep rowing for shore.”
The opposite statement is also true, “Works without faith is dead.”
People that cannot stop binging and over eating fall into one of two categories:
1) Those that pray but keep rowing in circles (no idea how to use their God given abilities).
2) Those who don’t pray and keep rowing in circles.
And we wonder why 95 – 99% of people don’t achieve lasting weight loss.
To have any chance at lasting weight loss one must understand temptation, how it affects them and learn how to use their God given abilities. When you combine this with prayer, your life can change in ways that are unimaginable.
God bless,
Danny

Hi y’all,
I was watching a Christian TV show (see I do what I preach:) called Believers Way with Scott and Missy Johnson. They were talking about the difference between believing in God vs. believing God. There is an important distinction between the two.
There are many who believe in God but have trouble believing God. For many this stems from seeing people, be they religious leaders or others they perceive as very devout Christians, struggle with temptation in their everyday life.
I have heard people make comments about obese religious leaders or those that struggle in other ways that if what they preach is true how come it doesn’t work for them?
To me an important part of believing God is doing what Paul said in Philippians 4:4 (The Message), “Celebrate God all day every day. I mean revel in him!” To celebrate God all day you have to learn how develop an awareness of him throughout your day.
It should be obvious to all that in any area of life where we struggle with temptation, we are not focused on God. It doesn’t matter how religious or how knowledgeable you are about the Bible, when you are not focused on God you leave a crack, an opening for the Tempter to do his work.
Why do 95 -99% of all dieters gain the weight back? I believe it is because when they are tempted to binge or over eat they have not learned how to close the crack. They have not learned how to develop an awareness of God throughout their day.
When you develop that awareness of God throughout your day everything can change. You begin to see what it really means to “believe God” and it is then that you give yourself a chance at lasting weight loss.
God bless,
Danny

Hi everyone,
I read an interesting article about one of the largest research studies ever done on belly fat. It stated that people with bulging bellies, even those of normal weight, carry a greater risk of death.
It also said other research has linked greater waist size to increased risk of dementia, heart disease, asthma and breast cancer.
You can read the article here:
Belly fat can be deadly even for normal weight adults

Let me ask you some questions:
1) Do you read your Bible rarely, occasionally or daily?
2) Do you look at reading the Bible as a chore or do you approach it with excitement, wondering what is to be revealed to you today?
I used to be in the rarely read category and looked at reading the Bible as a chore. I had heard people refer to it as God’s living word, but I didn’t really understand what they meant. I had no idea how ignorant I was of the power in God’s word when it is applied.
See that’s the key, applying it. Many people love Bible studies and learning the Bible but they don’t apply what they learn to the areas of their life that need it most.
Let me give you an analogy. Let’s say you want to paint a room in your house. You decide on the new color, you buy the paint and bring it home. You are all excited about the paint color and can’t wait to see how the room looks with the new paint.
Something comes up and you decide to paint the room later. Later never comes and you never end up painting the room. It stays just the way it was and you end up looking day after day at the old paint you don’t like. You don’t get to enjoy the new paint because you never applied it to the walls.
It’s the same way with your Bible.
When I began to read the Bible daily and approached it with passion and excitement, specific words or phrases seem to literally jump out at me, I was blown away. When I began to apply what was being shown to me my whole life changed.
If you already are doing this I’m preaching to the choir, if not give it a try..but be careful, you just might like the new you!
God bless,
Danny

Hi everyone,
Saw an interesting article yesterday that states medical experts now believe binge eating should be included under new mental health guidelines as a mental disorder.
The article also states, “Binge eating is the most common eating disorder in the US today and remains a difficult condition to identify and treat.”
So they believe it is a mental health issue but aren’t sure how to treat it. Could it be it all starts with temptation?
The article also stated binge eating tends to run in families (that should come as no suprise, kids do what we do).
To read the article click below.
Binge eating recommended as a psychiatric diagnosis

I was watching a show on Christian television the other day called Believers Way. They talked about taking God from the pages of your Bible and putting him into the pages of your life.
I like how they phrased that. That is exactly what you are doing when you become aware of God’s presence throughout your day.
Instead of living your life on your own, you are allowing
God to participate as you make decisions.
This is so critical when it comes to dealing with the temptation to binge and over eat. It’s obvious that trying to resist temptation on your own doesn’t work, (97% of dieters fail).
Add God to the pages of your everyday life and change your book into a best seller!
God bless,
Danny

Here’s a little food for thought (no pun intended)..
Do you spend more of your day thinking about God or food?
If you struggle with binge eating and compulsive over eating the answer is obvious; just look in the mirror.
If one spends more time thinking about their appetite, Philippians 3:19 (The Message) says “..Those who live there make their bellies their gods, belches are their praise.”
If you fall into this category, there is a way out, just flip it around.
When you begin to develop a deeper awareness of God throughout your day everything starts to change. You look at food differently and you begin to limit the power temptation has over you. That means you’ll begin to eat less junk food and not over eat at meals all the time.
That’s when you give yourself a chance at lasting weight loss.
God bless.
Danny

I read an interested article today on 10 nutrition myths debunked. One of them was about eggs. I enjoy eggs as part of my diet so I was happy to see more evidence that eating the whole egg is not bad for you.
