Hormones
“…for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” (Matthew 6:8)
A hormone imbalance can block you from losing weight. Find a good doctor that specializes in all natural bio-identical hormone balance and have your blood work done. This is vital for women and equally important for men. Dr. Sara Gottfried’s book is a valuable resource.
Think about this, a 400 pound cow or a plump chicken is pumped full of hormones explicatively to fatten it for market. When we eat this stuff (unknowingly for years), these same hormones fatten us. We have filled our bodies with these same hormones. Is there any doubt that the average person, male or female may be suffering from a severe hormone imbalance? Get to an all natural doctor and have your homes evaluated and do what is necessary to get them balanced.
Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics
Note from Joyce: I have found that digestive enzymes and probiotics added to my daily intake help to prevent cleansing crisis episodes and keep those toxins flowing out of my system. Please consider them. If you have any questions on what has worked for me, you can email me at jlorick@cookingforthedanielplan.com. I will respond.
“For in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:2-3)
Supplements
We started using Dr. Amen’s supplements on the first day we started the Daniel Plan. We have never suffered from cravings. You simply must go onto Dr. Amen’s web site and look at all the information and available resources: www.amenclinics.com
I cannot stress how important I believe these supplements are for your well being and for your success on the Daniel Plan. I’ve lost all this weight, improved my health, maintained my commitment to service/surrender to God, worked 65 hours a week keeping our office running, traveling 25% of the time for work, working on a Master’s program that I will finish in less than two years, and written this cookbook…from scratch…with each recipe a new adventure that I have never cooked before.
God is amazing…and I believe that He has given us tools/resources to prepare us for His plan for our lives. These supplements have proven to be a very valuable tool for our health program. The following supplement information is from Dr. Amen’s website…
