Church Statement on the Movie "Big Love"

"The temple endowment was given by revelation. Thus, it is best understood by revelation, prayerfully sought with a sincere heart. President Brigham Young said, 'Your endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the house of the Lord, which are necessary for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the Father, . . . and gain your eternal exaltation' (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1941], 416).

Low Back Strengthening Exercises

I have a "Body by Jake" exercise seat with arms that adjust to weights and you can do ab and back exercises on it. You sit on the seat when it is adjusted to the back exercise setting, put your feet behind the ankle pads, grab the arm handles and push back. Start with a few back pushes and then work up. You will be surprised how fast your back feels better. It has 3 weights. You can start with one weight and work up to all three. Be sure to ask your doctor before investing in a piece of equipment or beginning an exercise program.

Spiritual Thought "The Word of Wisdom"

There is a 12-step program in AA for people with addictions to harmful substances. You can also be addicted to food. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has something that is called "The Word of Wisdom" in our scriptures found in Doctrine and Covenants Section 89 that inspires us to eat and drink healthy. This revelation to our prophet, Joseph Smith Jr., was received in 1833 before the food pyramid came about. I know that if you trust in the Lord to help overcome food addictions or just food cravings, He will help you do it.

Low Fat Food Substitutes

Starting to cut down on unhealthy fats because of a high (bad) cholesterol count? Try these:
 
Hard shortening, lard, or bacon grease - Substitute Olive, safflower, corn, sunflower, canola, or soybean oil.
 
It is generally known that 3500 calories equals a pound of fat. If you cut out 3500 calories from your diet in a week, you should lose a pound a week. 3500 calories divided by 7 days equals 500 calories a day. That would equal 52 pounds lost in a year. That's pretty amazing. It's worth a try to see if it works!
 
There is a new book out that I saw advertised not long ago. It's about the foods you can substitute in your diet and lose so many pounds in a year using the food substitutes. I didn't write down the title of the book and have been searching for it for a while. If you know the name of the book, would you please leave a comment for me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
