YB's millet diet

[Guest guest]

I am undertaking a one day watermelon cleanse (watermelon is GOOD

right now) and then plan to undertake the Yogi Bajan Millet diet. I

read about the watermelon cleanse in a KY book that I borrowed once

and no longer have. If anyone has done this or knows of the benefits

I'd love to be reminded. I got the millet diet booklet with recipes

from Ancient Healing Ways catalog. I'd like to know if anyone else on

this list has tried it? I work in a kitchen where we produce a lot of

good but fattening foods and it has been very hard for me to refrain

from "rewarding" myself with sweets of fatty foods like bread/cheeses

not to mention rich coffee with honey & cream! Any tips for sticking

to a healthier food program would be appreciated. I know that I am

compromising my health and well being by staying overweight with a

poor diet.

Dear Peggy Sue,

 

I did the millet diet years ago. You can lose weight but it takes a while.

I think I did it for a couple of months. Then I ended it with 5 days of

grapefruit and kept the weight off for good. The good part about this diet

is that you can eat a lot. The challenging part is that you cannot eat after

4 pm. If I were to do it again, I would have my one piece of fruit sometime

after 4 pm as my treat to keep me going the rest of the day. Eating the

fruit with the millet is bad food combining and gave me indigestion. If you

eat the millet meal about 3:30 you can keep going the rest of the day.

 

Good luck. I think you will like it because you will like the way you feel.

Hook on to the feeling and the other food won't be as tempting, in fact if

you train yourself to associate the bad food with a bad feeling you won't

want to eat it. Hopefully :+)

Hi Sue

 

I find the following helpful - suppose I have a desire for chocolate

and I think that I should not indulge - I say to myself the desire

for chocolate will pass away. Now my brain doesn't believe it - but

suppose I do not yeild to my impulses - a couple of hours later I

check back and say to my brain - see I no longer have that particular

desire - the desire did pass away - and the next time I find it much

easier not to be swayed. I don't follow calorie restricted diets as

if you are hungry there is a tendancy to snack on poor quality

food.

 

Good Luck

Frances
