Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Gang! I'm a new member so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Darren from Scottsdale, AZ and am a passionate follower of holistic nutrition. When I turned 30 I felt like my body was falling apart, had an enlarged prostate and was considerably overweight. I thought I had nothing to look forward to but pain, surgery and prescription medication like most Americans. My career path took me away from sales and I ended up in massage school. In school, part of our curriculum was holistic nutrition and boy did that open my eyes. I could not believe that by switching to a vegetarian diet consisting of only natural foods such as fruits, veggies, lots of salads and some whole grains could impact my health dramatically. To make a long story short, within 6 months of switching to a whole foods diet, I lost 30 pounds, gained tremendous energy and my prostate problems disappeared. That was several years ago and I'm still going strong. My diet philosophy is to, as much as possible, only eat foods that " serve " me or impact my body in a positive way. As my diet has evolved to a mostly " beans and greens " diet, my results keep getting better. I truly believe that there is nothing the body can do when we give it whole foods with plenty or raw salads and fruits. The books that have impacted me the most are: Fit For Life: A New Generation - Harvey Diamond Empty Harvest - Bernard Jensen The Food Revolution - John Robins Eat To Live - Joel Fuhrman I'm glad to be a member of this group and look forward to reading all of your posts. All the best, Darren Prine www.supersimplehealth.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
