2. Poor Eating Habits This is everything from eating too quickly to not chewing your food at least 25 times per bite to eating too much at one time, to eating too many different types of food at one time, to eating at the wrong times. These will all be covered later, but each one of these can make a big difference in your total health. 

3. Seeking pleasure where pleasure was not meant to come from. So many people eat for all the wrong reasons. They eat because it is one of the few things in life that gives them pleasure or makes them happy. They eat because they are depressed, they eat because it’s the right thing to do socially. God made food to sustain our bodies so they would last at least 120 years. And what food did he mean us to originally eat? In Genesis 1:28-29 we see that green food or plants were meant to sustain us. It is no wonder that in all the studies in cancer treatment and diet that the single greatest common factor was green vegetables — just what God said back in Genesis 1:28-29. The intent of this book is not to solve everyone’s deep psychological issues, but to keep it simple. Our greatest pleasure in life comes from a personal intimate relationship with the God who created us, after that comes the pleasure of an intimate relationship between husband and wife, then comes family, then comes friends. Food is not included and never was meant to be. Also it’s important to know that if you struggle with food as an addiction or bondage, God can set you free if you just turn this area of your life over to Him. Self-discipline is good in life but it almost always fails when it comes to eating because it is based on your own ability and strength. Self-control, the spiritual gift, on the other hand always succeeds because it comes from God and is His strength placed inside of your weakness. With God all things are possible. So do not give up, just seek your pleasure in life from the right source and know that you EAT TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO EAT.
