How do you feel you are doing at living the Word of Wisdom as a banded person?

I'm referring mainly to the nutritional guidance, more than the harmful substances part, though feel free to answer the question any way you'd like.

I'm obviously doing better at 'moderation in all things' than I was 6 weeks ago!

True, but I eat way more meat than I used to... I've made the decision to eat my protein rather than drink it, but because of it, I eat plenty of tuna, chicken, beef.

I believe that the word of wisdom is talking about red meat - not so much chicken and fish. I'm just guessing.

I think the whole point of the WOW is to keep our bodies healthy in order to gain greater spiritual guidance and keep our souls healthy. I think that despite eating more meat, I will be better able to follow the WOW after I'm banded because my overall health will be better. I wont overeat junkfood and hopefully my cholesterol will go down.

What is the word of wisdom. I have been banded for almost 2 years and haven't heard that term before even though I spent hours on this forum for the 1st year.

The Word of Wisdom is the commandment that Mormons follow which talk about keeping our bodies healthy. This is why Mormons dont drink alcohol, coffee, do drugs, etc., but it also discusses that we should eat heathly grains and fruits and veggies while they're in season and that we should eat meat sparingly. The last point is why this has been discussed on this Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) sub-forum: that we should be eating meat sparingly per the Word of Wisdom, but with being banded there is a need to eat so much protien. I hope this helps.
