Eating For Energy-Defining My Passion

October 13th, 2010

When I was just a boy I loved to play Hockey. You all know that Canadians are all about Hockey?

I suffered from asthma and my abilities to play the game were never diminished because of my asthma but the pain I had, was always there. If you suffer from asthma, you know what I am talking about.

From the age of 6 or 7 my Passion for hockey followed me everywhere. I would get up at 2 am to get ready, would put on my uniform  and  skate the one mile to get to the arena. I would leave before the sun came up just to go and play my favorite game. Some mornings the wind would howl and the snow would fall but my Passion never  wavered. I remember those days like they were yesterday.

All through high school I played my favorite game and only gave up on my dream to play any longer because of  the poor condition of my lungs. Little did my family or I know that eating was so important for my health.

Yesterday, I spent 1.5 hours on the ice playing hockey with 20 year olds and never got off the ice once. I had tremendous energy. The feelings of exhilaration rushed through my veins.I wish you could of all been there. For me, it was like being in the Olympics. I had never dreamed of ever being able to relive the childhood passion I always had in my heart. Have you ever had that feeling? The Passion I am talking about?

Eating For Energy-Defining My Passion: Having Passion in your heart is the only element you need to motivate you to get healthy. Passion for your life.

Today I am 58 years young and because of Eating For Energy, changing my lifestyle, and believing in me, I am able to live those Dreams I never thought possible, up until just a few years ago.

Yuri talks about his love of soccer and you can feel the emotions in his heart when he talks about it. Having found the solutions to his health problems made him determined to never let his dreams waiver.

Pierrette & I decided to follow his advice. Having followed Eating For Energy principles, I urge you all to read and follow the principles covered in Eating For Energy and to find that Passion I talk about with such zest.

Perfect Health-Passion For Life vs Passion For Food

October 11th, 2010

There comes a point in your life when you will have to choose. Yes, their is this tremendous temptation to hook on to foods that we love and reach for the stars that make you feel good inside. We all have had those moments, the ones when you eat that great tasting hamburger or those incredible nachos with cheese or that home made spaghetti your grandmother bakes…You all know what I mean?

Without knowing it you were hooked. Yes, you keep on looking and searching for that great taste and especially the feelings in your mouth of succulence and the temptation to want more becomes overwhelming.

That is when the Passion in your mind takes over and you know what? Your in the zone, that feel good zone, the one you are carrying in your head maybe right now. Yes, the one you just don’t want to give up.

passion for life

When my best friend introduced me to a fast food chain in 1969 and I ate my very first hamburger  it was a moment I will never forget. I even stated to him that one day I would work for them. You know what I did work for them, many years ago. My point is that I was hooked on the taste, that sensation many of you share  with food. The Passion that goes through your body is and can be incredibly great.

How do you compare eating all those great tasting foods with eating green juices?

How can having raw foods like corn, instead of corn on the cob cooked and served with butter and salt be compared you may ask? This is where it becomes tricky.

I know what you are thinking, because I was right where you are maybe right now.

I also had to make incredibly hard decisions. What was my life worth? How could I survive without all that great tasting food?

How important was my Passion For Life vs my Passion For Food?

PassionLoveLife

That is when Pierrette & I began our search. We needed to try and find that balance. We asked ourselves if we could have both? We where willing to try and find both even if it meant having to make a choice between the two. Life had become a real question mark for us at that point.

If you are caught up in your feelings and desire to finding the solutions that are right for you start by reading Yuri’s book called Eating For Energy. Their are many more great teachers out their but Yuri takes it one bite size piece at a time. He combines instruction and knowledge. He shows us the way and gives us the tools to help us make the right choices.

Pierrette & I found that we could have both, a great Passion For Food + a fantastic Passion For Life. Do you want both also? It can be so.

Let Eating for Energy be a new beginning. The one choice you need to make might be much easier than you think.

Take our word for it. You will be amazed. Just give yourself a chance.

Eating For Energy-Who is it For?

October 9th, 2010

Eating for Energy is a book that has captured our attention because of what it teaches.

  • If you are yearning to get out of a slump, this book can turn your life around. Is it for everyone?
  • I have yet to find an individual that does not need or want to improve their overall health somewhat, have you? Is it for you?
  • Having this book in your hands could completely transform your thought process because it will give you the tools, the reasons why and the solutions all in one. Is it for you?
  • This book is a guide. It tells you what you do not want to hear. It blends the incredible along with the myths. Is it really for everyone?

When I started to follow Yuri, all I did was take a chance and took the six day free info for a ride. Everyday I learned something new. Yes, something I did not know but should have? Everyday I got more and more determined to learn how to help myself.

I did not need another preacher telling me things I already knew. I was on a path to nowhere leaning towards uncertainty but still full of hope and desire. I had taken the decision to try one last time. At 57,  the years were becoming heavy to carry. My life partner and I  both needed to commit to finding solutions that had so far eluded us.

How important is your health to you?

  1. Incredible as it might seem, your health does not seem to be important enough to want to find what is so terribly wrong?
  2. Often facing the truth can be overwhelming.
  3. Finding out truths that have been kept from us is maddening.

Every time you come to this blog you will see a pop-up telling you to get this 6-day free report. That is how I started and every-time it pops up I am reminded of what it has done to help me take the steps I needed to get to a much healthier and fulfilling life.

Eating For Energy-Why The Focus,Focus,Focus on Obesity?

October 5th, 2010

images (1)All the fuss about obesity is turning the world upside down. What is all the fuss about?

  • The fact we do not see all the fat people around us?
  • Chances that we are obese ourselves?
  • Medical cost over-runs?
  • Lack of proper seats on airplanes?
  • Kids that eat pizza for breakfast at school?

Hundreds of studies are being funded, right now, everyday to try and solve the problem of obesity!

Thousands of articles are written, making observations concerning obesity, right now!

Millions of people are obese at this very moment. How many of them are even aware of the dangers they face everyday? Less than you think.

Yes, you read it here, less than you think. Ask those around you and see for yourself. Are you part of the problem or part or the solution?

We, at Thee Quest, are committed to tell the world the truth about obesity and weight related problems. Are you with us? All avid readers of this blog know where we stand and we ask for your help to build awareness about how serious this obesity crisis is on all our health.

I asked my daughter’s boyfriend if he was obese at 220 lbs and he is 5’8″. His answer, heck no he is in great shape. He is only 31. Most people refuse to admit it but do they really know any better? Most of us are “Junk Food Addicts” and have been for at least the last generation.

I have asked myself the same question over and over again,”Why do people refuse to admit they are obese and need help or at least guidance?” You know what, the answer is simple, no one has told them!

Well I am here to tell you, “Wake up and admit you have a problem, then, and only then can I help you really focus on how to prevent, stop and cure this deadly disease.”

The very first thing you need to do is to have a good look at yourself and admit that you do not feel great all the time. If you do, and you are obese, tell me your story. I do not believe you, yet I am willing to listen and try to understand you.

The second thing you need to do is to ask yourself a very simple question,”Why am I obese, how did I get this way and what can I do to turn my life around once and for all?”

Now, have you asked yourself the question? What is your answer? Write it down and have a good look at it. Do you realize what you just did? You have  taken the first step towards eliminating this reality from your life, right now. Focus on the words you have just uttered and this is a new beginning. Stay with me here, this is the first step and being able to focus on it is only the beginning.

  1. That’s right, the problem as always been your inability to focus on what is important, your health.
  2. Why have you been unable to concentrate on what is really important? Because of the way you eat.
  3. How can you start focusing on what is really important? By changing what you eat and understanding the reasons why you eat.

Focus, focus,focus is only a beginning. Needing to understand the reasons why we are all so darn unaware of the obesity crisis needs to be addressed before you can start to move forward.

Here is a great book called Eating For Energy, by Yuri Elkaim. Buy it today, yes today, and startfocusing on the reasons you need to change. Now, don’t start now, just read the book and try to understand why you need to change. Focus now, that is all I want you to do. The book will become the”eating bible encyclopedia” that will change your life.

Are you still with me?

If you are tell me, write a comment just telling me now you are with me. Then, and only then, will I  be able to help you.

Focus is the first key to the rest of your life. Let’s just start with that and until you really understand the need to focus, you are only wasing your time going from one diet to another and one gym program to another.

Are you still focused? Hard to do right? You just want  to leave right now, right? Focus, are you still here? Good, now you are starting on the path to greater Perfect Health.

Join Pierrette & I and the whole Thee Quest For Perfect Health Team.

Focus, this is were it all begins.

Eating for Energy-Hands On

September 5th, 2010

FreshFruitSmoothieI often wondered what I would say to friends and family about my new found “Eating For Energy” lifestyle. Many listen politely and do nothing. Others ask questions and do nothing. As you have already guessed, most do nothing about anything I say.

Changing strategies was very difficult because Pierrette & I are so clear about all the benefits that Eating For Energy has done for us. Well, that is what needs to be done if you want to remain committed to yourself and if you want to spread the joy of feeling and being full of energy.

If you want to show people what you are doing, be Hands On. Show them how to juice and have them taste the best drinks in the world.

If your daughter has a boyfriend, have him over and show him. Do you understand what I am saying? Stop talking about it and do it!

Many of you will read this article and say, yeah, yeah, easier said then done. So did I but, as my energy level increased and became a part of my daily life I soon discovered that talking served no purpose whatsoever.

Pierrette has a printed copy(photocopied) of the Eating For Energy book on our kitchen table at all times. When people are around we take the time, argue a little but always have people taste test a smoothie or other juice and the faces tell us what to do next.

  • People only believe what they can touch, smell, see or taste.
  • Stop talking and have taste test available. Don’t ask, just have them taste. It is incredible how people’s faces light up.
  • Be bold and direct, you have nothing but good health to sell. How much is that worth?

Becoming “Hands On” is the only way to get your message across.

Many of you are here for the first time. Do you have a copy of Eating For Energy yet?

I ask you this only because when you think about it, when was the last time you spent $39.99 on your health? The last time you went to the restaurant cost more than that I am sure. Get serious, if you are here and have any interest in Eating  For Energy, buy it now and I will see you on the other side as they say.

Thanks for being here,
