Except for a few people here and there, I don't think our species can
resist the lure of carbs and keep the weight off. The merchandising of
carbs is just too cunning, too successful, too pervasive. The incredible
tastes and flavors are unbelievably irresistible.

Our only economic salvation may lie in recycling the fortunes made by
Eli Lily and General Foods and funnel it into the health costs for obesity.

Some people get the motivation by having a horrible disease which scares
them to act, but most can't even use fear to help themselves.

If you're keeping your weight off through diet and exercise and not
through shenanigans like purging, drugs or surgery, you're rare.

It is satan's lie that "hunger is bad" that makes us vulnerable to the
irrational compulsion to overeat that which tastes good especially
when this lie has wounded the hearts of our souls. The delusion
arises from the false belief that what we want is what we need. It is
when we are deluged with way too much more than we need that we no
longer want. This is bad (not what GOD desires of us).

Starving (needing) is bad.

Hunger (wanting) is wonderful ! ! !

"Carbohydrates are good but eat too much of it and it will sicken
you." -- Holy Spirit (Proverbs 25:16)

Amen.

Our economic salvation along with spiritual salvation resides in the
truth, Who is LORD Jesus Christ.

Correct.

Otoh, those who have lost the black fat and are keeping it off by
eating less, down to the right amount are ever-growing in number.

We are simply smarter with hearts that has been made right by GOD:

GOD is able to heal our hearts burning away the dross of satan's lies
(Proverbs 17:3).

May you and other dear friends, brethren, and neighbors have a
blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus
Christ as the Son of Man ...

... by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/Hunger

It's how we know what GOD wants, which is what is good.

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives.

Those who suffer from the powerful delusion predicted by the prophecy
of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 would deny this and perish ( gone !!! )
forever ...

Such will be the demise of all those who refuse to know **and** love
the truth, Who is LORD Jesus Christ:

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...

... for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.

Is this the real deal Uncle but with a spelling variation or is this a sort
of an imposter?

But, if someone is purging to keep weight off, they should see someone NOW
who is well versed in helping bulimics.
