PER YEAR Per Family of 4 People
Professional Hikers and Astronauts only eat 2.75 pounds of food A DAY (45 ounces). And neither group has
easy access to a grocery store – so their calculation of food consumption had better be accurate or they WILL
starve. They each need 1,500 - 2,000 calories a day based on their age, “skinny” size, medium height and high
activity, so they choose their foods carefully to get the calories they need from the best foods.
THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT THIS
Wait a minute – that’s one full stomach a day (PAGE: 21) – and they’re HIGHLY ACTIVE . . not couch-potatoes.
The ALMIGHTY Designed You For: ONE-MEAL-A-DAY
Now let’s see, she’s eating
more than 5 pounds’ EXTRA
food per day than a normal
“skinny” person. That’s
almost 2,000 pounds EXTRA a
year. WOW . . . that’s 1 TON.
That 2,000 pounds of EXTRA food would feed 3 additional people a year at 730 pounds each
OK – let’s assume food costs an average of $3.00 per pound. OMG . . . that’s $6,000 MORE per year that she
could easily save for a GREAT VACATION EVERY YEAR or the major part of her retirement fund.
NO . . . I forgot . . . she’s decided to go to Heaven faster. So she won’t need this extra $6,000 every year for
retirement – she’s not retiring.
The average obese family of 4 has to carry 4 TONS (8,000 pounds) of extra food in from the grocery store
every year at an added cost of $24,000 per year. What part of sanity am I missing ? Now you know why the
food processors and sugar companies hate this program. (See PAGE: 103)
Food costs are a huge part of most family budgets. While this is not as important as your health, it may be the
difference between your children’s ability to afford college (or even your grandchildren).
