Re: How do others respond?

This is how I always handled other peoples reactions:

Depends on your personality:

- If you are proud about what you eat
- If you know how to prepare your food and therefore -
- Enjoy your lifestyle.

You will easily be able to bring some good food along when you go out or to make a good choise from ready-made.

If you deal with annoying people, tell them your opinion and
put priority on better people who understand you and what you
are talking about, you don`t need to teach them anything or to change them. Just make them wonder - Your secrets will make them more curious and more interested.

If your are strong, and feel good about everything you do, people will become curious about your food instead.

You will simply not feel bad about other people`s opinion and unconciouseness when they complain, if you are strait and disiplined about yourself, and are able to exsplain why you
feel better on your diet and why you want to be strait about your choice. Sometimes it takes some effort to say how it is and how you feel, but when you have done it, it feels good.

The fact is that the more you get away from bad quality salt, sugars and artificial foods, you will develope your taste, and not even like them anymore, and you will feel great to say "no thank you, I never eat white four / rapid sugars", "I don`t drink coffee, nor senka" and your environment will start respecting your unique way to do it, this shows a proad person.

If you want to tell a short story and really don`t know what to say to people you dont know very well; They will understand you very well if you are "allergic" and becomes green spots and a red and itchy troat from some substances, as this is quit a common condition in our time!

Grandmother or aunt would feel very bad, if they prepared a special treat, as they of course don`t mean to harm you, but would get disappointed if you refuse. So it would be better to tell your family and friends about what you or your children absolutely don`t eat because of your well-being / health-reasons.

After a while they will know your habits and if they are good friends, they will hopefully accept you and respect you, and even start caring about to serve you something they know you like.

Why should you break your diet or get sick because of other peoples bad vine?

If you are very concious about how you can balance foods, it would not harm you to eat something bad sometimes, if you don`t do it every day. Depending on your condition.

As I worked in the hospital, to serve cakes every friday afternoon and also every little celebration or they bought ice-cream every sunny day during summer - (Norway). The most popular thing you could do to please everybody was to bring some sweets to the office. I never ate the cakes, I watched the phone while they had the party, they simply accepted me not eating sweets, and got used to it. Sometimes they invited me to eat fruit specially brougt in for me or similar. After a while they enjoyed my cakes and waffles "without" much more than the one from the bakery, I did not bring a cake very often, but when I did there was a real party and everyone came.

Health is not about to forbid yourself something, this could harm you so much more, your thougts are very important. Enjoy what you do. If you are unsatisfied, try out some new receipes or join a cooking-class!

You will get the best results as soon as you enjoy your knowledge with gratefulness, cook and eat your own food and good choises with the same enthusiasm and gratefulness.

After a while people around you will ask you how you do it, admire you and ask you why you look so great and have such a lot of energy and such healty children.

Every little substans could be important in a healing-process.
One spoon of Sugar could sometimes distroy for a long, long time.
A true story: A lady cured her Psoriasis on a macrobitic diet, it took her many years, and she stayd with her diet and had a perfect condition during 3 years. She went to Spain and she ate one piece of honey-cake. After this one piece of cake she got her Psoriasis back.

CHILDREN AND NEWBORN

My family sometimes even felt sorry for my children who never got real hot-dogs, icecreams, coke, sugarstuff or candies, they tryed to serve them this as soon as I was not there, it took them many years to understand.

Your close family can sometimes be rude.

I did let my children go to birthdayparties, They did support the junk very well because they never got the same stuff at home.
That`s why they said that the cakes "looked so good" but
"tasted sooo bad" compared with mine.

But I could always see the difference in their behavoir,
so I prepared something special and saw that they ate a lot before to go to the party.

At school or in kindergarden I took care to often deliver my own homemade stuff similar to what they served.

Children show their personality very early:
Alice would be very proud that she had something very, very special, that nobody else had, and had not ever seen. Her very special way to show this, while opening her food-box with her head high and a special proudness, while telling everybody that they have never tasted something like this, and that their mother where not even able to cook it; She made everybody interested and they wanted to taste. And even the teachers where curious.

My son or my oldest daugter where not as happy as Alice. They opened the food-box very slow and careful, trying to catch the content with an eye through a small space.....if there was something rather unusual, it was quickly closed, and they would never dare to eat it while their friends saw it. They were easier manipulated by others opinion and reactions. The older the child is, this tendency could become more usual.

If you feed your child with mothers-milk until 6 months old without anything else to develope a good intestinal flora. And then takes care about what your child eat until he is 7 year old;

You can feed a child under 5 years old exactly what you desire, if you are careful not to give your child anything harmful or artificial, no milk-products or sweets from the beginning, let him get used to alive food and good quality, your child will never develope allergies etc and he will be able to eat "anything" he wants after the age of 7. A child who never got cows milk before 7 years old, will never have "milk-allergies" if he also got mothers-milk the first 5-6 months!

So, please take very well care about how you feed your baby!
Care even before your child is conceived - This is the best way to prevent complications. You can improve your childs immunity and health and his brain-function and ability to learn

Enjoy life - a newborn means a 100 years -
