TO POOR DIETERS:

INSTEAD OF A FRENCH DIP SANDWICH, TRY A LARGE POT OF VEGAN, FAT-FREE, REDUCED-SODIUM, ORGANIC, BUN BO HUE OR PHO DAC BIET INSTEAD, ONCE PER WEEK. INSTEAD OF RICE NOODLES, USE THE MIRACLE NOODLES FROM WAL-MART. IT HAS NO CALORIES.

***FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT, BREASTFEEDING, OR SLENDER PEOPLE, THEY NEED WHOLE-GRAIN NOODLES.***

***I TRULY RECOMMEND LEAN CUISINE FROZEN DINNERS, HEALTHY CHOICE SOUPS, ANTHONY ROBBINS MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS AND RICHARD SIMMONS "SWEATIN' TO THE OLDIES," AND SUSAN POWTER WORKOUTS.

REPLACING WHITE FLOUR AND ALL DAIRY WITH FAT-FREE, LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX LOAD INGREDIENTS HELPS, ALONG WITH LIMITING YOUR EXPOSURE TO THOSE CELEBRITY AND FASHION MAGAZINES.

YOGA JOURNAL

***"THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIES," AND "THE INTERPRETOR OF MALADIES" ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS TO THIS DAY. I GET MISTY-EYED ABOUT MY ADOLESCENT ADDICTION TO READING THE WASHINGTON POST, ITS MAGAZINE, THE WASHINGTONIAN (ONLY ON WEEKENDS), AND USATODAY EVERYDAY.

I STARTED GETTING ADDICTED TO READING BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN'S MINIPAGES, IN EARLY CHILDHOOD. THEN, I SET A GOAL TO READ ALL GENETICS BOOKS AT THE LITTLE, LIBRARY NEARBY. I STARTED TO SPEED READ, AND TRIED A COUPLE GOALS: 100 PAGES/HOUR OF READING ADULT-LEVEL BOOKS, AND ALSO FINISHING 95% OF THE BOOKS THAT I STARTED READING.***
