"A Biblical Approach to Weight Management"
The subject of God is something many of us have probably not thought of much in terms of weight management. But apparently that idea is catching on in mainstream America. Jordan Rubin author of The Maker's Diet "thinks that many people will rely on their faith with God to be disciplined." His diet plan consists mainly of very simple unprocessed foods, certainly not a bad idea and something I certainly encourage everyone to embrace.
What is going on now is a "biblical approach to weight management," managing the notions of weight, willpower and the empty spiritual hole inside of us which I classify as emotional eating.
What are my thoughts? Twelve step programs have been around for years using a spiritual approach for alcoholism, food, and various other addictions. (Remember spiritual is different than religion.) For many it can and does work. Other spiritual groups may be effective too if people are willing to really confront their emotional based issues instead of "stuffing" their feelings with food.
