DIET IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT, OR HOW YOU EAT.

DIET IS AN AWAKENING PROCESS- TO BECOME CONSCIOUS OF ALL ENERGETIC AND BIOLOGICAL CONNECTIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN AND WITHOUT YOURSELF. ITS ABOUT MAKING CONSCIOUS DECISIONS INSTEAD OF REACTING UNCONSCIOUSLY.

How to Lose Weight — Part 2: Understanding FAT (Physically and Spiritually)

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to the How to Lose Weight series — this is Part 2, and today we’re diving into the fascinating world of FAT: what it is, what it does, and how to work with your body (not against it) in the healing journey.

But first, let’s name the elephant in the room:

Most people define diets like religions. Rules. Labels. Identity.

VEGANISM? People have literally compared it to Christianity in TED Talks.

You’ve heard it:

“June-I the Vegan”

“You’re such a health freak.”

The moment we change our lifestyle, others start defining us. But here’s the truth: You’re not your diet. You’re not your weight. You’re not your label. You’re YOU.

So, What IS Fat, Really?

You’ve probably heard people say:

“Fat keeps you warm!”

“Put some meat on those bones.”

But let’s get scientific:

👉 Fat’s primary role is to protect your body from sugar starvation.

That’s right. Not just warmth. Not just calories. Sugar starvation.

Back in our cave-human days, summer meant fruit. Sugar galore.

Then came winter — no fruit, maybe some nuts, maybe some animal protein… but no sugar.

Your body stores fat as backup fuel for those long winter days when sugar isn’t available.

So here’s the bottom line:

🧠 Your body will always burn sugar BEFORE it touches fat.

If sugar is in the system, your fat stays exactly where it is.

The Spiritual Purpose of Fat

Let’s shift the lens.

According to Julia Cannon, author of Soul Speak (and daughter of the legendary Dolores Cannon), fat often represents protection — physically, emotionally, energetically.

We “pad” ourselves with weight to avoid getting hurt.

We also store toxins in fat as a survival mechanism. Your body literally holds onto fat to keep you safe from harmful substances (including toxic thoughts and stress).

If your body is toxic, it won’t let go of fat — because to release it too fast would flood your system with those stored toxins.

So, no matter how much you want to lose fat, your body won’t release it until it feels safe.

👉 Health comes first. Weight comes second.

Weight is a symptom, not a cause.

Let’s Talk About Dietary Fat

Think fat is bad?

Let’s drop that dogma. It was programmed into you — not to help you, but to control your health and consciousness.

There are bad fats (looking at you, trans fats) that are one molecule away from plastic.

But good fats? Your body LOVES them.

🧴 Grocery store cake aisles? Just rows of plastic toy food. Don’t fall for it.

Insulin, Cholesterol & the Real Story

Let’s break it down:

Insulin is a hormone that removes sugar from your blood (too much sugar is toxic).
When you eat carbs/sugar, insulin spikes.
If you eat sugar constantly, your cells get resistant → insulin resistance → weight gain, fatty liver, diabetes.

🍳 Fat is the only macronutrient that does NOT spike insulin.

Now, cholesterol. You’ve heard it clogs arteries, right? But here’s the twist:

🧠 Your body makes 75% of its own cholesterol — especially when you’re inflamed or injured. It’s not the villain.

Dr. Steven Gundry explains it well:

Cholesterol is like the ambulance at the accident scene. Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean it caused the crash.

So… What Should You Eat?

Here are the basics:

🥑 Good Fats:

Avocados, nuts, pasture-raised eggs, fatty cheeses (like Brie & goat cheese)
Grass-fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil
Wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats
Full-fat Greek yogurt, goat yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi

🥦 Vegetables:

Kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, zucchini, artichoke, tomatoes
7–10 cups a day for healing
(Steam them lightly to preserve nutrients. Skip the microwave.)
