Have an idea for a historical novel of some type but are having trouble figuring out where to start? Take a look at this blog post to help get your thoughts in order.
Sep. 12th, 2011
This article is based on a one-month “test diet change” plan I concocted for a friend back in January, 2011 and posted at www.blog.bookviewcafe.com. Here’s a tweaked version for my personal blog readers.
How food, diet, and dieting affected my writing and my life. And maybe effects yours…
So, all around you people are barreling ahead with life resolutions, grand plans for diet change, exercise, social makeovers, new jobs, new spouses, new lives, for heaven’s sake – and it all makes you tired.
You’ve done pretty much ALL of this – over and over. And none of it has helped you gain energy, lose weight, find your enthusiasm or anything else that you’d like to find. Every attempt has smacked you down.
Well. On the way from recovering from an illness that most don’t recover from, I discovered something important. It gave me back my energy, my higher reasoning faculties, and finally, my creativity and writing. I am improving every single day.
What I discovered has to be shared now. I can’t wait for studies and science scattered all over the Internet to catch up to me. I could not even wait for the tests to come back – that’s how HUGE the difference is for me. Some of you – according to some estimates, perhaps as many as 42% of the US population – also need to know this now.
( Take the Challenge )
I think the question may not be: “What have you got to lose?” The question is: “What might you gain?”
You might gain a wonderful life, with only one purposeful decision.
Next time, I’ll talk about a plan of attack. There will be several levels to this plan, because if you feel pretty good, but can never find a diet that works for you, your system may just need to rest from wheat. Or you may be addicted to wheat, and it’s upsetting your stomach – so there will be a backing-off plan. Or you may fear it’s seriously damaging you, like it was me. There will be a plan for that, too.
Think about it. Think about whether this is a worthwhile, month-long experiment for you. Because next time there will be some simple homework. You are going to find out if removing one thing can give you almost everything you want.
What I want is a hopeful, healthy future. What are your goals?
So try it with me -- Let the gluten go!
(The next one will go up as soon as I get around to transferring the info.)
