healthy diet what is good and whats not so good
Gina:
ha! Craig, you're a hoot.
Yeah, I agree. My daughter's like Extol. She eats raw because she wants to and feels better doing that and has learned along the road that she doesn't need to shove her diet choices down other people's throats. Pun intended.
If someone forced me to eat the way Dr. Steger suggests (though he does have plenty of good pointers) I'd be miserable and end up killing myself. Which totally defeats the purpose! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to BK for my favorite dessert:
(Though today, I'm thinking of switchin things up a bit and trading out some of that scrum-diddly-umptious bacon for a little scrapple, iBob. ;) ;) nudge-nudge)
lauriellen:
@ Craig, i haven't laughed that hard in a while.....thanks for that ;D ;D ;D
this kinda ties in with this discussion....Joh_6:63 It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing.
i used to be very health/weight concious.....but now i find when i decide to make the effort to spend more time
takin care of my body/physical health....this verse always comes to mind.....i find myself not really caring about my physical
health at all, rather spending the time reading/searching for more understanding .
1Ti_4:8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is to come.
Can the flip side of being too health conscious (becoming an idle)......to being TOO UN-health conscious also be a sin? If so, i am definately guilty. BTW, i am not a lazy person, my life on the farm does provide me with lots of physical labor/activity, but i just don't really care about my health/weight etc.....Is this sin? I don't think really believe when God talks about taking care of our body as His temple that He is talking about the outward appearance.....
Hope i didn't go too far off subject with my comments. :-\

Hi Ian,
Dr. Steger had a lot of good info on how to live a more healthy lifestyle, but let's face it the man carried it way to the extreme. I would say it would be good to learn a bit from what he says and try to impliment a few of the things he says, but anything should be done in moderation. If we are not careful any physical thing could become an idol of the heart, like trying to eat only clean/healthy foods.
What is an idol of the heart... well what is an idol - an object of passionate devotion. So there should be nothing, besides God, that in our heart we have a passionate devotion for... and why is that?
Mar 4:19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Now the Scripture in Acts 10 where Peter saw the sheet come down with all the animals in it, well Scriptures have many layers of meaning. Physically, yes it speaks of all animals being clean.
1Co 10:25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;
v. 26 for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."
v. 27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.
Mat 15:11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
But spiritual speaking Acts 10 does speak of the Gentiles as well.
Acts 14:27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Hope that helps.
mercy, peace and love

Thank you Kat, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Finally, something said about Dr. Steger that I can agree with.
Usually, when the subject of Dr. Steger comes up, I roll my eyes over like a great white shark and chew my tongue and fingers off so as to not say or write something inappropriate.
But finally, something said about Dr. Steger that I can accept on a spiritual level. Proof to me that God's Spirit is directing and working with us here on the Forum. 8)
Kat:
Yeah John, HaHa... Actually I was impressed with Dr. Steger's devotion to learning about and applying the healthest lifestyle he possibly could. But would never want to live like him, I mean the man is obsessed with this thing. Not to mention it's totally going against the way of this world... wait a min. something sounds familiar here. Anyway how does he live without enjoying milk and cookies or ice cream, but maybe he has some kind of healthy version he (his wife) makes :P

point is I agree, a moderate or reasonable diet should be followed but to panic about all these different theories which are and can really get you messed up is not what the word is telling us - all things are permissable all are not profitable "do not worry about life ,what you will eat"... is what you are saying - Be sober, moderate, reasonable, of a sound mind
So, how bad is Coffee for one, any thoughts
--- End quote ---
That depends on the individual. How much does one drink? Is it caffeinated or decaf? What does one add to it? Does such an one like it black or with cream and sugar, or heaven forbid one of those nasty sugar substitutes?
To be overly-righteous much is soooo drab, dahling.
Now, I personally don't drink caffeinated because I don't like the bags I get under my eyes or the headache, or poor sleep. Not to mention it stains my pearly whites. (I'm just a touch filled with vanity still.) But what I really don't like is that I love it so much! Decaf only with some raw honey, cinnamon and cream--but not soy milk, thanks anyways! ;D Soy milk is creme de la creme--I love the way it makes my coffee taste but as a woman I get that tummy bulge after weeks on end of drinking it, and those dreaded engorged, painful mammary glands from the estrogen; I just don't need the added discomfort.
However, I would not fault anyone else who chose to drink it because I get why they do it. It flipping tastes yummy.
Now it's your turn -- what are your thoughts about coffee?
