Hello Everyone -
Long time no newsletter.  I have been busy preparing my book 
for final publication.  Will keep you posted on the release
date.  In the mean time, the 164 pg pre-publication is still
available: If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It

***************************
~The Eating Season~
 
Welcome to the beginning of "the eating season".
October starts with Octoberfest, including beer, brauts and 
heartburn; and ends with Halloween and a stream of addictive 
candy readily available on every desk and countertop.
November brings Thanksgiving weekend filled with
eating, drinking, and socializing. And December soon follows 
with the Christmas holiday, and an almost continual month of 
more eating, drinking, and socializing. Then a week later,
to end the year in good company, we once again indulge
in another evening or two of unbridled eating, drinking,and 
socializing. (Not necessarily in that order.)

This eating season is the time of year when bad eating 
habits can become ingrained into a lifestyle that even a New 
Year's resolution may not be able to reverse. It's become 
the American way. To compound the problem, this season also 
brings shorter days and decreased activity. We spend more time 
indoors and immobile. At the same time we're eating more, 
we're moving less.  
 
***************************
~ Active Compensation ~
 
There are action steps you can take to pro-actively compensate for 
this immobile eating season, however.  Of course, you don't 
want to miss out on the occasions and what they have to offer, 
but you don't have to allow them to consume you either. Following 
are simple things that can help:
 
1 ~ Plan Indulgences ~
You can enjoy without excess. Plan ahead in terms of 
what goodies you will indulge in - and stick to the plan.
Planning ahead and allowing, yet limiting your indulgences
is a great way to participate in the food fun, while
keeping yourself from getting out of control.
 
2 ~ Restore Balance ~
When you do indulge, take measures to restore the balance of
your body/mind system.  Always drink plenty of purified water. 
And if you are experiencing any kind of stomach upset, bloating, 
headache, etc., having a "green drink" is one of the best
remedies available.  Simply mix a 1/2-1 teaspoons whole food 
green powder, in a glass of 8-12 oz. pure water.  For this 
purpose, I most recommend Green Kamut wheatgrass juice or
Just Barley juice.
In some cases, a tablespoon of organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
or Flax Seed Oil can do wonders to prevent or relieve 
bloating as well.  
 
3 ~ Exercise ~ 
In general, movement is essential to promoting circulation and 
elimination and is another great way to offset the effects 
of too much partying.  Walking, running, yoga - anything that
gets you moving will help.  Anything that gets you sweating, is
even better.  
 
4 ~ 24-Hour Fast ~  
Give your digestive/eliminative system a rest with a rejuvenating
24-hour fast.  This is most easily done by eating a healthy break-
fast in the morning, then not eating any solid foods until the 
following morning. Break your fast (breakfast) with a piece of 
fresh fruit or lightly steamed vegetables.
 
Another way to keep your system in good order during the harsh
months of the eating season is to regularly replace a meal or two
with a mixer full of the Plant Based
Nutrition System. This nutritional survival kit is composed 
entirely of super foods that have been carefully selected to 
nourish at the cellular level, activating your metabolism and 
boosting your immune defense.  Including the PBN super foods as 
a regular part of your diet is a wise thing to do any time of 
year, and especially helpful for getting you through the party 
season in the best shape possible.

~ Lectures/Tele-Programs ~

In September I travelled to Tucson to give a lecture at a 
private school entitled: "Our Popular Food Culture - Focus
on Refined Sugar", followed by an all-day healthy eating
seminar. I wholeheartedly support and applaud this school 
and its administrators for upholding a "No Sugar" policy in
contrast to the many public schools that seem to be pushing
it. See previous article on soda in the schools for more
info on this topic: Denver School Board talk 
 
The talk and seminar were both a tremendous success.  I am
always appreciative for the opportunity to speak on the
topics about which I am most passionate and serving people
in this way.  If you are interested in having me speak to 
your group or organization,either in person or via telecon-
ference, please call me or visit

for more information. 
 
I will be announcing the upcoming 2004 Food Fitness Tele-
Programs schedule soon.  Watch for the newsletter or check
