Steve,

Here’s an observation that you may be able to share some insight on:

I’ve been taking the Slim Caps and Action Caps with FD for the past few

months. Once I noticed my system was “cleaned up” a bit, I had less of an

appetite…not that my appetite was that big in the first place.

With travel and some other external factors I let override my nutrition,

I stopped taking the Slim Caps, Action Caps and FD for a couple of two-

week stretches. Otherwise my diet did not change. Here’s what happened:

My girth increased quite quickly, although my scale weight didn’t budget

much. We’re talking about pants that were comfortable two weeks ago are

not uncomfortably tight.

I go back on the SR routine and within two weeks, everything shrinks

again.

I’ve gone back and forth like this a few times and there is a definite

pattern. Naturally, I don’t want to be popping Slim Caps and Action Caps

the rest of my life. Kind of defeats the purpose.

My theory is that once my body was “cleaned,” I was able to absorb more

nutrients from my food. Let’s say I was absorbing 75% of my food before

SR and after SR, I’m absorbing 95%. Well, I have to eat even less food to

get the same nutritional equivalent. If I keep using the same gas with a

more efficient engine, I’ll get more mileage (increase in waistline!).

Is this a valid theory or is my metabolism just hitting another low point?

Most Noble Herbal Warrior Hak –

i would like to remind you that your theory is as valid as it feels to YOU! that is all-ways the most important validity in anything we encounter in life.

it seems to me however, that you are superimposing a Western mindset on an Eastern energy philosophy.

eating Slim or Action Caps your whole life is not defeating anything except the accumultation of lethargy within your cells. lethargic physiology = fat.

eating Slim or Action Caps is no different that eating apples or oranges your whole life.

i have been eating Slim and Action Caps for very nearly half my entire life. when i look around, i don’t see many men my age capable of keeping up with me in anything actually, and my bodyfat percentage now hovers around 5% without struggling in my “diet.” i just eat the SUNRIDER herbs for my nutrition and enjoy a little bit of ‘regular’ food for roughage, taste, social gathering, and some calories.

remember, SUNRIDER is based upon nourishing gathering and dispersing MOVEMENT in your body.

it is NOT concerned with calories, which is the Western mind’s attempt to stop, hold onto, and then count somehow, the natural movement of energy (qi or pran) which animates the molecules of our body. a dead body is still composed of matter (calories), but it is the qi or the life force that animates that matter. SUNRIDER expertly, accurately, and POWERFULLY nourishes the movement of qi within your system. but first, the herbs have to prepare your organ systems to handle the enhanced upgrade of energy. so be patient

and most of all

be consistent with the herbs

do not miss a day

herbs need to saturate your body

to bring

the balance of rhythm

and pulse of life force

so

ilg says

forget about metabolism setpoints

and

enjoy the Dance of Life Force

as you

enjoy the herbs

which

cultivate that

very

Dance within you!

i hope this helps…

Nama Shanga Ya,
