The Low Sacrifice‘ Diet’ 63 foods, you can live without and it is no big deal. I am continually surprised at just how often people eat fattening foods they are not particularly attached to. Often they eat them out of habit, often because they are usually found in the immediate vicinity of food they really love,( people eat the burger because it comes with the shake, or the fries, they love. Sometimes they eat them out of ignorance, not knowing just how fattening certain foods are. Carbohydrates are the tricky ones in this regard so that is why I devote Chapter 12 to this subject. In short, LSFs are foods we flirt with. As with most flirtations, they occur at parties and social get-togethers. Out of respect for those we love – both food and people – it is important that we move away from our flirtations quickly to focus on those we truly love. Getting too close to the ones we flirt with – bodily contact is to be avoided at all costs – often means there is no room in our stomachs, or lives, for the ones we love! Our LSFs are the foods we are going to give up. We are going to give up the foods we flirt with so we can focus our attentions on those we love. From now on, we are going to apply the test, as we would with the people we love: Is this food worth dying for? In this day and age, it is not often we are put in the position of risking our lives for someone we love, but with fattening, artery-clogging food you are doing it every day. The foods worth dying younger for are your High Sacrifice Foods. If we can then eat them in smaller amounts, less often, we may just cheat death. So this means we might go through the drive-through and just get the fries or the shake and take it home to eat with a healthier meal. Back to our third column. The foods in the third column are going to fill the gap created by the LSFs you are going to stop eating. Some foods you like / love / flirt with will not be particularly fattening foods. Examples are: a good steak, avocado, any fruit( especially strawberries, grapes and kiwi fruits) and most seafoods. One of my clients lamented how much she loved oysters. Because she loved them, she just assumed they were bad for her! In fact, oysters are the least fattening of all forms of protein on the planet! The same goes for a lean, juicy eye fillet steak.
