“God Means Us to Be Slim” Says One Evangelical Site
Do a Google for “Christian Weight Loss” and a number of sites pop up. Ranging from the evangelical “doctor” who says gluttony (one of the seven deadly sins) is the cause of all the obesity in the world, to the site promoting faith-based weight loss without dieting. “God means us to be slim!” heralds one enthusiastic Christian weight loss proponent. There is surely truth in what each one of these websites says.
Overeating, or gluttony is certainly part of the equation, but an even greater part is the relative physical inactivity in the daily life of most people. Many overweight people are not over-eaters, but under-exercisers. Also, because of the convenience offered by prepared foods, the American diet is heavily into these convenience items, most of which are laden with high fructose corn syrup as both a sweetener and a preservative. This one product is a major contributor the obesity epidemic in the world, particularly the USA.
Faith-based weight loss is a positive factor in any weight control program. Regardless of ones religious convictions, faith and the power of the mind are indisputable principles. Jon Gabriel discovered how to harness the power of the mind to promote healthy weight loss without a strenuous diet program (www.gabrielmethod.com) and personally lost more than 200 pounds. He spends his time helping others to achieve their natural weight by teaching his program to individuals and in group seminars all over the world. Jon is a considered a marvel by the medical community because his body shows no signs of having been morbidly obese.
Christian weight loss may not be as fast as a crash-diet, but it is certainly much healthier, both physically and spiritually. Programs based upon faith and mind control will more than likely produce long-lasting results.
