Hi, this is Brian Tracy. And one of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to eat a healthier diet. And the reason people want to eat a healthier diet is so that they can lose weight, look better, and feel terrific. Now, there's a very simple system that I call eliminate the three white poisons. The three white poisons in diet today are white sugar, white salt, and white flour. And what you need to do is eliminate all the foods that have those three white poisons. I was talking to a friend of mine recently who I've worked with for years, and this time when I saw him, he lost 25 pounds. His clothes were hanging on him like a tent. I say, what on earth did you do to lose all the weight? He said, I just followed your advice. I stopped eating anything that had sugar in it. No Cokes, no pastries, no pies, no desserts. I started eliminating white salt. I do not put salt on anything. And the reason is that everything already has enough salt. And the other thing is I eliminated white flour products. It's interesting, but there's an enormous amount of research that says your body does not have the ability to process foods that come from wheat or grains, which means pasta, potatoes, rice, and all forms of bread that are made from white flour. You just delete those three, and you'll have more energy, you'll have more confidence. The weight will fall off almost overnight. And then make it a lifelong habit. Make it a lifelong habit just to refuse to eat the foods that are not great for you. It only takes about three weeks to form a habit. And if you just stick to the habit, you'll be thin and fit for life.
