Almost there everyone! Its already prep day for some of us...have a happy and safe day of tying up loose ends! Rhy, I hope you travels are safe. I know you are probably not accustomed to long car rides. The brits are flabberghasted when we tell them how far we drive on a regular basis. Hopefully, the english countryside is more interesting than here, to keep you awake and unzoned. I can almost smell everyones sabbath breads baking! I want to try the "special" braided bread (i forgot what its called) sometime. My daughter likes to bake and wants to do bread by hand, but we have very little counterspace for kneading and preparing. Sigh, Someday! Enjoy everyone! We may not always have peace on sabbath like we do now. Shalom!

I suspect that if I ate much bread on shabbat I would be fat.

From the book I have been working on: Q. How do we kill the flesh, so that sin does not govern over us and kill us and our bodies?
A. Men and women are biologically different, and killing the flesh can work in different ways. The answers are in the bible! To figure out how to kill the sinful desires of the flesh, I looked at what people ate and drank that causes sin.
1.Bread, Starches, Sugars, Carbohydrates: Ezekiel 16:49 KJV "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." I found out the hard way that your body does need some carbohydrates, or else your muscle will waste away. 1 bowl of cereal, or one bowl of popcorn… is probably enough for one day. Bread is converted into fat and sugar. In men this causes libido to want to make babies. When the sperm sack is full, pressure is created, causing erections and fleshly desires in men. Especially if your a single man, and or you are around women you don’t want to be attracted to, you should have as little bread as possible, only what is needed. Salt is the other ingredient you need some of, enough to hold on to liquids. The other things you don’t need at all from my experience.
2.Salt: Genesis 19:24-26 KJV "Then yahuah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from yahuah out of heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt." Deuteronomy 29:21-23 KJV 23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:" Sodom and Gomorrah had salt and bread. Salt helps you retain water, that causes inflammation. Inflammation in the sperm sacks causes erections and desires for men to make babies. Salt raises blood pressure by holding on to water.
3. Alcohol:Numbers 6:3 KJV “He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.” Leviticus 10:9-10 KJV "9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: 10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;" Alcohol impairs judgment.
4.Sugar:Numbers 6:3 KJV “He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.” Sugar is sugar, regardless of if it’s natural sugar, fruit, fruit juice, candy, or other sugars. The Nazarites were to separate themselves from sin. Avoiding alcohols and sugars helps with this.
5. Fat:Leviticus 3:17 KJV "It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood." Fat converts to sugar.
You will notice that only fat is commanded not to be eaten, out of this list of 5 things, unless you are a Nazarite and then sugar and alcohol are also forbidden, or no wine if your a descendant of Arron about to go into the tabernacle of the congregation. Gluttony is also a sin. Wine, Sugar, Salt, and Bread are good in moderation, especially if your married and want to make children.
As for women, their biology is different, but the results of gluttony can be similar. Female health is in danger when too much of these items are consumed. Alcohol is a common excuse women have made for having sex outside of biblical requirements.
By avoiding these 5 things, and having only as much salt and carbohydrates as I need, I lost 100 pounds of body weight, but the primary goal was to get rid of temptation. Weight loss was a nice side effect.
