Spiritual Weight Loss
Chapter 2: Secrets of How the Body Really Works 
The Theta*Genix program does not require you be an expert in biochemistry, or
have advanced knowledge of nutrition or diet planning. If you have no interest in
learning what is happening inside the body, you are welcome to skip this chapter
and go directly to the next chapter which describes the practical application of the
Theta*Genix program. I'm serious that every section of the program is optional,
including reading this chapter's discussion of biochemistry!
However, in my experience, people tend to be much more serious about making
changes to their diets and lifestyle when they understand exactly what is
happening as a result of those changes. For example, I was a diet soda addict
for over 15 years. I started drinking diet soda when I was 16, when I was working
at a deli with a soda fountain where I could drink soda for free all day long. I
knew that if I drank sugared soda all day long I would gain a lot of weight, so I
forced myself to drink diet soda. I quickly became accustomed to it, and for a
long time I had a diet soda with every meal, plus a few more between meals.
When I had my major health crisis and got into alternative medicine, I was told
over and over that “diet soda is bad for you.” Just about every book I read and
every doctor or practitioner I worked with told me I should quit drinking diet soda
to improve my health. However, I didn't actually quit until I learned about the
specific effects diet soda has on the body: namely, that aspartame (“aka
Nutrasweet”) is an “excitotoxin” which causes neurons in the brain to swell up
and explode. Did you know that drinking a single diet soda suppresses your
immune system by over 50% for the next 8 hours? (Wow! You can imagine how
it devastates the immune system to be continuously drinking diet sodas.) After
learning these things, it was much easier for me to quit drinking diet soda,
because knowing exactly what was going to be happening in my body after
drinking a diet soda gave me the motivation to quit the habit forever.
