Top 5 Tips on

Fasting Instead of Dieting!

by Michelle M. Pearson

Many people mistakenly and routinely refer to diets and dieting as "fasting". In doing so, they may feel more spiritual about their diet, but in the end, they repeatedly fail in their attempt to maintain both health and weight afterward this time of "fasting" is over.  

Let's look at the difference between dieting and fasting so that perhaps this year, many of you will get wisdom and understanding as to why your sincere attempts at health or physical improvement have failed thus far. Yes, you may have been sincere, but without applying Biblical fasting truths, you will simply end up sincerely wrong.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel records that Daniel, imprisoned, asked the jailer to allow him to have only vegetables and water for ten days to prove out that he would be stronger than all the others.

How many of you ask to be tested when you are under stress? Do you typically leave off comfort foods, "dainties" and other pleasures when you are under pressure? No, most reach for comfort food or drink, not abstain from it!

No matter his current circumstances and injustices, Daniel determined not to make excuses. At all costs, he determined not to be "defiled" by going against that which the Lord had instructed him as to the care of his body. The Bible tells us that he requested of his jailer,

“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. (Daniel 1:13-14)

Here is the result: At the end of the ten days he looked healthier and better nourished than any other! The refusal to make excuses and the commitment to his relationship with God provided unmatched results in just ten days!

What was at work here that perhaps you haven’t experienced? It wasn’t just a diet that made these boys “the picture of health”.

Dieting is reducing or abstaining from food(s) to affect just the physical body. You think about, measure, count, coordinate, and salivate over food and drink choices all day long. It produces bondage. It is a law-based approach – and the law produces death.

It was the application of the Biblical principle of FASTING.

And, that's our High Five for Health today: Biblical Fasting

#1     Abstain from selected items for a specific purpose – but do so unto God.

First, Daniel determined in his heart that he would bring the body into submission and to keep the spirit and soul undefiled from the customs of the new world around them. He wasn’t merely eating differently. His heart was in it so his desires changed, not just his temporary choices.

By his actions and submission to God and the results thereof, Daniel was proclaiming to his captors, “My God, the Almighty God, is different than your gods. I reverence Him for He is Holy. My choices are different from the pagan world around me because of who He is and how I revere Him.” 

If you read further in Daniel, one will see this bears out in the continued hand of God upon Daniel and his companions. I believe Daniel’s decision to fast was a huge contributor to the spiritual strength we later see in all of these young men.

So, how does one method of abstinence (dieting) produce sickness and death and another method (fasting unto the Lord) produce strength and health?

In the natural, dieting subtracts from one’s health. Typically, people force the body into starvation to reduce weight. Perhaps they abstain from fats in an attempt to influence a change in cholesterol levels. Either way, the abstinence in dieting is about food, not God. Another way to say that would be that abstinence from food by dieting is separate from your relationship with God. That which is separate from God is what?

#2     Fasting changes the mind and the body by the change of character and purpose. This is the ultimate goal of fasting.

Diets result in the body’s scavenging muscle and bone for survival rather than burning excess fat and eliminating toxic waste. In sharp contrast, the entry for “fasting” in Vine’s Expository Dictionary states,

“Christ taught the need of purity and simplicity of motive. The answers of Christ to the questions of the disciples of John and of the Pharisees reveal His whole purpose and method. What He taught was suitable to the change of character and purpose which He designed for His disciples.” (Emphasis added.)

#3     Fasting is not so much about denying yourself as it is about not defiling yourself. Your heart must direct your motives, not your waistline.

The Lord knows the intent of your heart. Your true motive is not disguised from His eyes. If you are dieting and calling it a fast, He knows. There is nothing any less healthy than a lie. And internal lies, the ones we tell ourselves, lead to internal disease.

If you are truly being led by the Lord to fast from something for the strengthening of your spirit and your body, then your time will be consecrated unto the Lord and the destroyer will have no opportunity to harm you.

#4     Enter into fasting at God's prompting, increasing your communication and consecration to God. Replace whatever is laid aside for the time of the fast with time spent in the Lord.

Allow yourself time to draw nearer to God and focus on His desires for your life and your body. If you keep these things in mind and be Spirit-led, you, like Daniel, will come out stronger, not weaker, a true testimony to the Lord!

Here are some types and times of Biblical Fasting: (not all inclusive)

Vegetables and Fruit with water

Bread and yeast products

Water Only – Note: This type of fast is very rare in the Bible; we find no examples of this being something the general population did for extended lengths of days. Except for Jesus and a few others, generally, this is a one-day fast from sun-down to sun-down.

Biblical Lengths or times: 21 Days for Revelation, 40 Days – in preparation for the next dimension in your ministry purpose, 1 Day per week – the fasted life, 7 Days – from bread and leaven, 10 Days – Daniel's first fasting period, up to 3 to 3 1/2 years – while Daniel was in captivity, to honor God.

Important Note: Popular "juice fasting" with fruit juices is not a biblical fast. It produces an addiction to sugar. "Liquids only" is also not necessarily a Biblical fast. It is a liquid diet to produce drastic weight loss in a short period of time – it does not produce a change in character and consecration to purpose. (The exception would be fasting on vegetable juice and water, in keeping with the description of Daniels fast, and therefore, appropriately healthy for the body.)

And finally, number five in our Top Five Tips on Fasting for Complete Health:

# 5   An attitude fast – to break yokes and bondages, wrong hearts & wrong mindsets

This is the kind of fasting I have chosen:

Loosen the chains of wickedness,

untie the straps of the yoke,

let the oppressed go free,

and break every yoke.

Isaiah 58:6 (GW)

Fasting has definite physical benefits, including loss of excess weight, toxins, and impurities. It can heal the gut and the heart. It has definite power to renew the mind, will, and emotions to healthy patterns.

But most powerful of all, and the precursor to every other benefit, true biblical fasting sharpens our sensitivity to the Holy Spirit so that we are clear to hear God's voice. As you truly fast unto Him, all these other things, including health, are added unto you!  

Fasting does not move God. It moves you… to God.

And there is no place of greater health than that!

Top 5 Fastest Ways to

Gain Health and Drop Inches

by Michelle M. Pearson

(So successful for our first 40 Days of the year, our High Five's to Health Series is a perfect fit as we have several rounds of new Bootcamp groups starting this month also! So, we are reprinting them this month – but I am sure that even if you read them before, you will find a reminder or two along the way you can tighten up on! Enjoy and take the next step!)

It is a New Year! This year we are calling for revolution – not resolutions! Those never work past the first 21 days any how, so, let's make a radical change and, my first memory quote for today, "Get out of the rut to lose the gut!" 

We are reaching in deeper and higher than ever for better health and a better life – our best life yet! All month we will be featuring articles in our series called the "High Fives for Health" 

So no wasting time! Today's topic gives you the top 5 fastest ways to gain health and drop inches. Without any fluff, here they are:

1. Get the GI tract, your gut, healthy! Research shows that the average American male has 7-10 pounds of undigested putrifying food in the gut on any normal day, the average female… 5-7 pounds.  Get the bowels moving regularly – defined as 1-3 times daily! Here's my quote…

"Move it to lose it."  (Original, I know.)

2. Fast from bread and yeast products for a full week. This will help the GI tract be cleaned by fiber of increased vegetables and lean meats and fats to heal. Here's my quote…

"The less bread, the less lead; the more Bread, the more Led." (Selah)

3. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily. You cannot flush without the water. And I do mean water, not just liquid.  Here's my quote…

"If you want to budge the pudge, flush the sludge."

4. No stimulants for the same week. It is all chemistry: stimulants spike your insulin, adrenaline, and cortisol. All three of these are FAT STORING HORMONES. Here's my quote…

"The less you stim, the more you slim."

5. Increase intake of good fats, including Omega 3, Flax oil*, and especially coconut oil. Here's my quote…

"Turn up the fat to burn up the fat!"

It really is that easy. Don’t make it hard. Get the gut healthy and you will see remarkable results in your immune system, your hormone balance, and the stability of a healthy weight.

That's the High Five for Health today – Gut Health.

See you in a few days for another of The Picture of Health's High Five to Health!

Did you learn anything? Leave me your comments and questions below!

It's just a gut feeling but…

are you missing some sleep?

Today we are examining the effect of gut health on your sleep patterns.

Did you know that if you regularly have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep after a few hours, that you may not be able to rest because you cannot digest?

If you have heartburn, gastric reflux, indigestion with gas, or bloating, and even constipation or hemorrhoids, these issues may be the root cause of your poor sleep. Targeted nutrition and better education can help you make great strides to improve imbalanced gut flora, lack of digestive enzymes, food sensitivities, insufficient vitamins, minerals, water, and/or fiber.

Recent scientific studies show that our digestive systems is intricately linked to many of the same receptor sites that regulate our brain chemicals. An imbalance in these neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) like serotonin, epinephrine and dopamine can cause insomnia. Further research show a definite connection between "nervous stomach" and irritable bowel syndrome and sleep problems.

Targeted nutrition means getting the supplements and foods you need at the right times and in the correct amounts in the manner that the body's design can utilize for health!  The Picture of Health Series 1 – Nutrition and Wellness Essentials has a whole hour of teaching on sleep, plus another whole segment on magnesium and metabolism which directly affect your sleep patterns. That's in addition to the training supplied on digestion!

So, why have one more week of missed sleep? Get the teaching series; follow this month as we explore sleep further; and join us for The Joshua Groups so you can digest, rest, and be your best!

What's that smell?

Are You Recycling Again?

by Michelle Pearson

This month's main topic at The Picture of Health is "Get Some SLEEP!" We will be writing about all sorts of sleep-related concerns through-out the month, including how it relates to your immune function (today), how digestion affects sleep, sleep and your hormone function, sleep and your gut health, and the affects of exercise on your sleep patterns.

To start us off, here are some surprising statistics on sleep from the National Sleep Foundation :

·   Effects of sleep loss on work performance may be costing U.S. employers some $18 billion in lost productivity. (NSF 1997 poll on Sleeplessness, Pain, and the Workplace)

·  America’s adults average 6.9 hours of sleep each night, slightly less than the range of seven to nine hours recommended by many sleep experts. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll)

·  Three-quarters of America’s adults, (75%), said they frequently experience at least one symptom of a sleep problem in the past year. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll)

·  More than three-quarters of America’s partnered adults (77%) say their partner has a sleep-related problem; the most common problem is snoring. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll)

·  One-quarter of America’s adults, 47 million people, don’t get the minimum amount of sleep they say they need to be alert the next day. (NSF 2002 Sleep in America poll)

·  One-quarter of America’s adults say their sleep problems have some impact on their daily lives. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll)

·  More than one-half of America’s adults nap at least once a week. (NSF 2005 Sleep in America poll).

Why do so many suffer lack of sleep, sleeplessness, and sleep disorders? What is shocking is that even those statistics, many more suffer diseases related to their lack of sleep than they realize. There are obvious sleep-related diseases like Chronic Fatigue and Sleep Apnea. But then there are not-so-obvious diseases connected to lack of sleep or poor sleep patterns such as depression, fibromyalgia, diabetes, menopausal difficulties and hormone imbalances, loss of sexual desire, hair loss, anxiety attacks, obesity... the list could go on and on!

What are we to do? As always, there are answers to be found by first examining and then working with the design of the body! Let's start our discussion first with the emotional factors that contribute to sleep loss.

Stress, sorrow, depression, anger, and grief, often rob people of sleep. This loss can be acute, which intense but short-lived and more easily recovered from. Or, more often, these things are left unattended and become a chronic problem and a unconscious life-pattern. The phrase “to eat the bread of sorrows” comes to mind and this refers to something, like an emotion or thought, which robs us of sleep. The meaning of this phrase in the Greek indicates it is a hurt, pain, toil, sorrow, labor, hardship, and offense.

The bottom line in this particular root of sleep loss is that there is a strong, unresolved, negative emotion. It may be on the surface, acknowledged, or it may be buried and unacknowledged. I'll give you an illustration of the cascade affect can have on the physical health of the body when one sleeps on negative emotional, well, let's just call it "garbage" to use a nice term. Here's the scenario:

One minute of anger (because of the resources and neuro-chemicals expressed during that time period) suppresses one's immune system for fifteen minutes. If you go to sleep on that offense and anger (or any other strong negative emotion), and you sleep for eight (8) hours (just using eight because the math is easy and you should sleep for eight hours), here's the math: you cost yourself by that one choice 120 days of suppressed immune function!

Your body captures whatever it was processing when you go to bed and continues in that physiological state until consciously given another directive. Until you over-ride that with a more powerful positive neuro-chemical reaction, you will continue making what science calls toxic thoughts or bad "brain trees."

What to do? Stop recycling the garbage! Learn how to get rid of your stinking thinking and the associated toxic waste dump. Dump the garbage every night before you go to bed and there won't be garbage in the bed, or your head, when you wake up rested in the morning.

Special Announcement:

5 Charities to Champion

in the

Epic Journey of a Lifetime!

by Michelle M Pearson

We are in Indiana, Pennsylvania this weekend for the Western PA Health Expo!  What an amazing experience! We are meeting many new folks, teaching on wellness topics in seminars, and helping raise awareness that yes! the average person CAN lead a fit, faithful, fun, life of health and increase without being a fruit or a nut! (OK so that pun was intended, but really folks! We can live healthy, active lives with dreams coming true and sharing those lives with others – making everyone's world a better place to live and love!)

After PA, we head to Maryland for another series of meetings and then we will be back in Arkansas and Missouri for a family wedding and some time to spend with you all in the online training groups. Yes, this is the Journey of a Lifetime! So glad you are stopping by here to join us!

If you haven't seen the post in previous weeks, we are reprinting the videos and announcement below for our new friends and partners from PA, Maryland, and all across and along the road here.

Enjoy and be inspired to LIVE FULLY! Champions live differently!

As we continue on The Journey of a Lifetime, we see more and more clearly the wonder of what God is doing with this quantum expression of Love. Reports continue to come in from people who watch the simple, 5 minute project video, and their whole lives are touched and transformed; whose hearts are stirred and ignited with a deep love and passion for His Cause. If you haven't watched that yet, I urge you to click on this link and do it first – it only takes 5 minutes:  5 minute project video

We are closely guarding our hearts, minds, and lips so that we do not limit God nor move in any direction that is not of Him in this beautiful journey and it's God-breathed purpose. However, we have a release in our hearts to share with you today a special announcement! Here is the announcement – we wanted to do it face-to-face so we made a really quick video – just click below:

After several months of prayer, we feel confident that the following five charities are the ones we are to Champion – each being representative of global needs – as we climb for His Cause, we climb to remember and proclaim… Our God Reigns! God is greater than all these trials, tests, tragedies, and troubles. In love and compassion, He raises up thousands – yes, YOU and ME – together to touch the millions through this journey of Faith, Hope, and Love, telling all those along the way of the God who is greater! Our journey's purpose is most certainly not limited to the causes of these charities, but instead they are points of contact, our connection with real people who need real help, real hope, real answers.

On the one mountain, for each of the 5 miles, we will champion His One Cause and each of these 5 Charities:

SEE                   Pearl Alliance (Messenger International/John & Lisa Bevere)

SMELL             2Fish Feeding Ministry (Mission Heartbeat, Puerto Penasco MX)

TASTE              LifeToday: James & Betty Robison (Water, feeding, rescue)

TOUCH            Uttermost Witness (KDM Ministries)

HEAR               GodTV

Have you ever noticed the resistance?

Have you ever noticed that just when you finally decide to make changes to improve the way you care for your body and your health, sometimes the body (or more aptly termed: the flesh) tries to rebel? It's called resistance!

Resistance is good training for muscles but very poor training for mindsets!

See, the body is used to being a part of the natural decaying world; the body, like a slothful, unrenewed mind and spirit, knows and likes what it perceives as pleasure. However, when the thrill of the chase, so to speak, begins to wear thin, and nothing else but the thrill is thin, the pressures from that lifestyle begin to wear you and your body out. That is when you, like most all of us, begin to look for a better, healthier, less painful way of life.

Unfortunately, that's when we encounter what we call "The Great Wall!" The wall of resistance! When we begin to walk in a new way of life, the body and the old mindset patterns are tempted to return to old familiar but destructive ways. This subconscious attempt to resist change, to rebel, is the same with any habit or pattern of behavior; if we are going to experience the benefit of health and better life, some things must be brought into submission – into obedience – of our stronger Spirit. 

The Bible tells us in Romans 12:2 (NIV) how we change from the old life of destruction and death to the new life in that strong Spirit: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will."

That pleasing, perfect will is that we are most certainly NOT created to live without abundant pleasures! Actually, enjoying health and wealth, passion and pleasure, fun, faith, family, friends, finances is all part of the "healthy new life" package! Shockingly, most of the world, and many Christians too, for that matter, have never read or heard that the Word of God tells us in 1Timothy 6:17 that God richly provides us with all things to enjoy!

So, being healthy, living healthy, is not about what we cannot have! Walking in the fullness of the love of God puts all good things at our disposal – to enjoy! Psalm 103:5 even tells us that it is the Lord “who satisfies my mouth with good things; so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Healthy living brings tremendous freedom through the revelation that not only am I not at all deprived, but I never will be again!

You must punch through the resistance with a new mindset of freedom.

Here's a new way for you to look at it: All things are permissible. Not all things are beneficial.

I saw a great illustration of this in a conference I attended a few years back. Christine Caine (Australia) was one of the speakers. She gave this wonderful illustration:  Take a piece of paper and mark a period (a small black dot) in the middle of the paper. Now, look at the paper and tell me what you see. You see a black dot. But that is not really all that you see. Don’t you also see a large expanse of white paper? There is a greater amount of white on the paper than there is of the black dot.

Changes that produce health are not about what we can’t have. It is about what we can and do have if we choose to partake of it! It is about the greater. Greater than all the harmful lusts and temptations are those wonderful healthy pleasures we can choose to enjoy! 

Let this inspire you today. Remember that every one faces resistance when they make a move in a positive direction. Some from within, some from without, but all of it is designed to hold you back. Punch through to a new victorious you. Resist the resistance and re-kindle the fire your heart, the passion for a full, long, satisfying life. The healthy life sets you in position to live richly, live fully, and live in abundant pleasures. 

If at some point in your past you've heard or been taught things to the contrary, you are in for a wonderful awakening! Don't take my word for it, look it up for yourselves. The Bible instructs us specifically to… “Bless the Lord! Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits!”  And, if you don't really know or aren't sure what those benefits are, check back here on a regular basis for Truth from the Word and inspiration.

Many people just need mind and heart renewal to believe good things are available to them. A great gift to others and to yourself is The Picture of Health Daily Power Plan – 100 Day Devotional. Filled with humor and insight, sprinkled with personal stories from our patients over the past 12 years, this book will give you daily encouragement to overcome your obstacles and the resistance so that you can pursue and possess the good life that is yours to fully enjoy, Spirit, Soul (mind, will, emotions), and Body!

God gives you richly all good things to enjoy. He fills your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle! Why wouldn't you want the #outrageouslygoodlife ? Of course you do! We all do! Now you know where to start to find it!

(Did you notice how good it feels just thinking about a brighter, fuller life? Life is to enjoy to the full, 'til it overflows! Go for it!)

Know someone who is struggling with some health problems?

Of course you do! Please share this with them.
