Many times, it is pretty simple -- more calories going in than being used.

A lot of what we call food isn't food it is just more toxins for our body to have to work with. This just fills us up but doesn't satisfy our hunger. Therefore we are always hungry and the body is ready to eat hoping once again we will get nutrients in us, only to be disappointed with more toxins. Making it very hard to wake up in the morning.

If you are tried after you eat a meal your food isn't helping you. Your food is your fuel and it should energize you.

Do you remember the magazine where the hermophdite was healed??? I would put much credibility in anything posted in Miracle Magazine. I used to have a bunch of them but during the years they got destroyed. Thanks for posting that.

I left out the NOT in my post I am sorry. I would NOT put much stock in what I read in those magazine.

Anyone ever read the book "Help Lord the Devil Wants Me Fat?" Not a joke a real book.

Not saying anyone would exaggerate anything but, well, there was alot of competition among the evangelists back then, so, no, it doesn't surprize me that some claims were a bit excessive.
