reference "MINDLIE"

The simplest, most effective, weight-loss regimen, backed by scientific studies and proven by empirical evidence gathered by this writer, can be described in two words: EAT LESS; but you must be committed to a vision, that is you must use your mind with complete integrity; if you were to eat just a little less than you want at each meal and expand the protocol as you gain confidence, your suffering can be relieved. But you must cultivate attentiveness, awareness!



Attentiveness is the path to true life; Indifference is the path to death. The attentive do not die; The indifferent are as if they are dead already.

"I am opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself but because I am not satisfied to make myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. We were taught under the old ethic that man's business on this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast. Take care of yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man. Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ''Am I my brother's keeper?'' That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society."

"Yes, I am my brother's keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow beings starving to death": Eugene V. Debs: 1908 speech
