This is the third part of our discussion on why diets will never work:

2. “These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.” Diets are man’s regulations telling you what to eat and drink and swallow. Hunger and fullness, on the other hand, are inside of you, guiding you into the unique, individual decisions you need for your specific body. One is humans commanding humans and one is the loving God and His lovely, Holy Spirit guiding you from within. One makes you feel childish and one makes you feel mature. All animals eat according to the amount and the variety that God prescribes through hunger and fullness—man should follow suit. Man’s rules perish because it is inevitable that you eventually go back to the regular foods that your body is programmed to need and want. God’s way works permanently, and diets do not. We were not put on Earth to find man and follow man, but rather to find God and follow God’s guiding hand.

Diets are so naturally repulsive to your body that the inward controls will reject the abnormal concoctions of foods as surely as everything within you would reject you holding your breath. Diets are destined to fail with use. God’s ways or biological feedback are natural, God’s laws are natural—meaning they are in compliance with God’s internal sub-conscious and conscious controls He has already programmed inside you.
