The Diet Cure by Julia Ross, M.A.

One of the books I reference quite frequently is called "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross, M.A.
As a personal trainer I get many difficult questions or issues to address as new clients open up and tell me what's going on beyond their lack of effective exercise or activity.

One of the frequently "help me, please!" issues is, emotional eating, food addiction, unexplained weight gain with clean eating, hormone imbalances and fatigue of various kinds.

Many of the solutions I look for when referencing this particular book is:
Recipes/ menus, meal planning
Biochemistry and deducting what might be deficient- which is to be followed up by clinical testing through a doctor.
Blood sugar balancing
Thyroid condition
Adrenal fatigue signs
Food allergy
Yeast, bacteria or mold overgrowth in the body
Amino acid profiling
Mineral deficiency
Fatty acid deficiency or imbalance


A must read, but perhaps more importantly a human body self-service instruction guide or reference book to have in your library. Here's the link:

The Diet Cure

Remember, the average person has a big tv and a small or non-existent library, those who are moving forward and excelling in their life have a small tv or no tv and a rather huge library. Just sayin'

Sugar Cravings

There is always a constant power struggle and balance issue between bacteria, yeast and viruses/ parasites in the body.

When yeast rises to power- and it's pretty common when you think about what it takes to encourage it: anti-biotics (anti healthy gut bacteria as well); hormonal changing drugs, herbs and emotions; and just as in cooking... SUGAR.

Now think about this: If yeast has been allowed to overgrow in the body, sugar cravings become a huge issue. The yeast will hi-jack the body's food craving "software" and ramp up sugar cravings.

Solution: Understand & accept the concept of yeast in bodies, then learn how to overthrow yeast and keep it at bay. Yeast will never be totally gone, after all it's part of body ecology. It's the balance we're after.
