4 the rice diet renewalWe ’ ve discovered that when people practice these exercises and
tools, they not only lose more weight and maintain their weight
loss, but they also feel truly transformed — mind, body, and soul.
They reach states of enlightenment and peace; they come to a
more measured and accepting understanding of themselves and
others; they fi nd more loving rewards in their relationships; they
are able to achieve more in their work and professional pursuits. In
other words, when they become more physically free of overweight,
clear of mind, and liberated from encumbering emotional baggage,
they not only embody health, their most sought - after dreams and
desires suddenly seem within reach. They become powerful. Or,
more accurately, they step into the power that is already within.
My vision for this book is to reach and inspire the millions who
are ready to actualize their greatest passions and thus succeed in
fi nally achieving and maintaining their desired goals. Manifesting
those dreams begins with understanding and then embracing
your true health. Although The Rice Diet Renewal will show you
how to lose weight safely for the long term and how to reverse
chronic disease (including diabetes, heart disease, and its precur-
sors), most important, it will inspire you to align your physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual selves so that you can actualize
your true purpose and simply enjoy being you.
The Rice Diet Renewal promises to give you a path to true health.
What do I mean by true health? Physical health that enables
movement, agility, and an abundance of energy. Mental health
that is marked by increased clarity of mind, purity of focus, and a
renewed ability to set goals... and attain them. Emotional health
that stems from being in touch with your feelings, enabling you
to attend to your pains and fears, thus breaking the powerful and
often negative cycle between unexpressed feelings and disease or
illness, which is key to being free to be the person you aspire to be.
And ultimately, spiritual health that enables you to celebrate love
and co - create your life at the highest level. The Rice Diet Renewal
is a practical program that you can follow and live every day; it is
also a journey, one that will lead you on a path of inner healing, to
a bountiful life full of purpose.INTRO.indd 4INTRO.indd 4 5/28/10 6:26:16 AM5/28/10 6:26:16 AM
