Drinking wheatgrass juice or taking the green food that I sell are great for your overall health partly because they affect your body’s alkalinity.  When you eat a lot of acid-forming foods like most Americans your body chemistry gets very out of balance. This leads to addictive eating and fat gain. But drinking a couple of ounces of wheatgrass a day is not going to solve your weight problems by itself. You also need to learn how to ‘think thin’.

A new book I just read by Jon Gabriel, called ‘The Gabriel Method’ has a totally new approach to losing weight. This is a guy with excellent credentials because he was over 400 lbs for many years and now is so fit and great-looking it is amazing!

He tried everything to lose weight and nothing worked over time. He always had the yoyo effect where more weight came back than he lost. So he went through a life crisis and studied everything he could think of and finally put a program together that works. His main premise is that it is our old animal brain that handles our weight and it is mostly convinced that keeping you fat is keeping you safe.

In the long-ago times that was true. People with meat on their bones outlasted the skinnies during famine and there was famine almost every year. But there is one reason that our old brains will keep us thin - if it thinks there is a predator after us. So his program in the book teaches you to activate that part of the brain to drop weight.

He doesn’t tell you to give stuff up or exercise until you want to. Anybody who has dieted and hated every moment of it will love this book!  And Jon is totally into wheat grass juice, thinks it’s wonderful.

So, drink the green and think thin,
