Theo also traced another source of poor digestion to people's fondness for fad diets. In chasing quick weight loss, they willingly endure hardship and cut themselves off from real, flavourful food, eating bland, unappealing meals to shed a few pounds here and there. What they don't realise is that this sets up serious digestive trouble down the line while intensifying cravings as the body tries to compensate for everything it's been denied.
The outcome, as history has shown time and again, is that people end up heavier than they were before. How often have you heard that those who struggle with excess weight are largely people who have been through dieting? How often have you, yourself, gained more weight than you lost while dieting? What will it take for you to see that this is not the answer?
Dieting is a trap that holds you captive and slows your entire digestive system to a crawl, if not damaging it outright. Theo calls on people to use their inner intelligence and break free from the destructive dieting loop: losing weight – suffering energetically and emotionally – overcompensating – gaining more weight – suffering physically and mentally – dieting again, and on it goes. What's more, many who follow this damaging cycle will sooner or later run into sleep problems born from all these imbalances, and those become the root cause of many other illnesses.
Through his balancing formula, Theo offers a way out of chasing a concept of health that never stood the test of time, and into embodying a sustainable balancing programme that will transform how people understand health. And it's important to grasp that beyond health there should be an alchemy, a taste and a balance.
