Astrological Diet Astrological dieting is a unique approach to dieting that can provide dramatic results by concentrating on what you are and how your life is governed. The basic belief around which astrology has been developed is that the position of the stars at the time of your birth, have an impact in your life and your actions. The continuous relative movement of the plants about the earth and fixed stars influence the various aspects of daily life dependant upon your birth sign. At times these may be positive influences, whilst at others they might be negative. These influences can be applied to dieting. The various planets are associated with various emotions and other qualities, and with the various parts of the human body. When these are grouped in various astrological combinations the effect can be dramatic. . The secret of a horoscope diet is to identify your own diet traits based upon your astrological birth sign. By recognizing the eating and personality traits for your horoscope zodiac sign, you can eliminate barriers to successful dieting forever. Once you understand what your specific influences are, you can begin to work with them and not against them. The earth star signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, have a harder time losing weight because they let themselves gain weight for a long time before going on a diet weight loss program. On the other hand, the air star signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, have little trouble losing weight because they have so much nervous energy. The water star signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, gain and lose weight at a phenomenal rate because most of their problem is not fat, but water weight. Excess water can manifest itself in the form weight problems and so it is seldom helpful to simply decrease food intake alone. A better approach can come from increasing the body’s metabolic rate and decreasing liquid intake. The astrological diet needs to be changed to a sympathetic one and the amount of physical activity should be increased. An excess of water can be balanced by consuming foods that are hot, dry and light. Fire star signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, should follow astrological diets that include carbohydrate counting to restrict the quantity that is eaten. This is because the fire based bodies’ burn calories efficiently and this results in these star signs trying to eat more than they should, particularly those foods which have poor nutritional value. Excess fire is brought back into balance by foods that are cold, moist and heavy or slow-burning foods that provide energy. Air star sign people are easily stimulated, with quick and extremely sensitive minds that are easily thrown off balance and overwhelmed. When the air element star signs are low, there is a risk of difficulty with the flow of energy through the body. A weakened nervous system benefits from mineral supports such as calcium and magnesium, and circulatory stimulants. Eat plenty of raw foods, vegetable juices and sprouted seeds. Ginger, garlic and yoghurt can all prove beneficial. Health issues for water star signs generally include an emotional component and water star signs easily pick up negativity from others. This means that they tend to brood on their health and imagine problems to be greater than they are. These people tend toward sluggish digestion, poor assimilation and slow metabolism. Earth star signs are prone to be heavy in the body and have sluggish systems. They are attracted to overeating and a diet of heavy foods create, which is aggravated by lack of exercise and sedentary habits. They often have beautiful strong teeth. Their digestion and metabolism tend to be slow and increase the density of body tissue—i.e. thick skin, sclerosis, calcium deposits, tumours and increased body hair. Good foods for earth signs to put in their diets are fruit, salads, sprouts ,steamed vegetables with spices added, juices, soups and teas. Heavy diets should be avoided. Always remember that any form of dieting should be undertaken with medical advice, particularly if you suffer from any form of medical condition.
