How does the Common SENSE Diet work?

Health is built from the inside out. Our body is made up of trillions of cells. To be healthy, we need to make sure that we give each of these little cells the right nutrients. Sometimes our body’s bio-chemistry becomes imbalanced. For example, our cells become to acidic or too alkaline or our hormones get thrown out of balance. What we eat effects how healthy we are, our energy levels and our weight. The food we eat interacts with hormones and enzymes in our body.

• Some foods will make us more energetic.
• Some will make us feel lethargic.
• Some foods will cause our hormones to put our body into ‘fuel storage mode’.
• Some foods will help our hormones put our body into ‘fuel release mode’.

We are all individuals and each person’s hormones, enzymes and bio-chemistry work in a unique way. Therefore, we all need different foods to feel good, be healthy and manage our weight.

When we eat the food that our own body needs:

• Each cell gets the right mix of nutrients.
• We re-balance our bio-chemistry.
• Each cell becomes healthy and we build health from the inside.

If we eat foods that are not right for our body, it’s like putting petrol into a diesel engine. The result is that we don’t get good, sustained energy. If we imagine each of our cells like a little engine, if we get the right fuel into our engines, we’ll have great energy.

When we’re healthy, deep down inside, our body will lose weight. Healthy humans only carry enough body fat to survive.
