Appetite and Hunger

Appetite and hunger, is there a difference? When you eat to supplement your precious physical health - yes, there is a dramatic difference!

I always tell my students this: "Do not be concerned about what you are eating". But aren't some foods bad for us? the students say. Yes, I tell them, but watch this...there is a connection between your body and its vital needs according to nutrition and your mind. Unfortunately, the gap between your bodies' needs and your thoughts regarding it, are discommunicated.

This is why an unfit person has poor regard for his health, and so like a bad marriage, a communication breakdown takes place. But when we take the effort necessary to change our direction, thereby making health and strength our #1 priority, the body and the mind will reconcile.

Soon you will naturally NOT want to eat unhealthy foods. What you craved to satisfy your unfit body will naturally disgust you.

So like I said, don't worry about what you eat, this will change as you grow and become stronger.
