I firmly believe that there is no best diet for those wishing to lose weight.
Everyone is different and possesses a unique mental attitude and physical challenges.

How on earth could any fixed diet program come anywhere close to solving each individual problems and challenges?

Most diet programs only apply to certain people and wouldn't apply to most of us. Some diets only focus on actually losing weight initially, only to see that person yo-yo the weight back on again.

I will even suggest that some diets are bad for your health. It's not natural at all to starve yourself when you are feeling hungry or to enforce a strict diet of only certain types of foods. For your long term health these kinds of diets should be avoided.

Where Did Shiatsu Come From?

Shiatsu originated in Japan. There were many hands-on therapies called Teate before traditional Chinese therapies such as Acupuncture and Tuina (called Anma in Japan) were introduced to Japan.
The term Shiatsu might be first cited in a 1915 book, Tenpaku Tamai's Shiatsu.

In modern medicine, the course of treatment can only be decided after a diagnosis has been made. In Shiatsu therapy, practitioners promote the prevention and recovery of illnesses by stimulating the immune system and natural healing power that people already possess.

Thai massage (Nuad Boran) has numerous benefits for everyone. It is a physical therapy and passive yoga all in one.

Thai massage improves blood circulation, lymph and helps to improve problems associated with mobility. I have a massage once a week and it gives me such a feeling of wellbeing just to look forward to it. A 2 hour session is recommended and really does lift my spirit and leaves me with a great sense of happiness and wellbeing.

More and more doctors in Thailand now fully endorse Thai massage as a means of alleviating stress, stiffness, muscle pain and headaches. Some even say that it improves conditions such as circulatory, nervous, respiratory and digestive problems.

The advantages of giving up milk can be quite complicated and technical, so I will mainly point out my best reasons to give up. I've mostly drunk chocolate-drink in the past, day or night and milk with cereal as a child. However, 3 years ago I developed symptoms relating to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), ( inflammatory bowel syndrome) or Crohns disease and so on.

After many trips to the hospital here in Bangkok and a rather uncomfortable Endo-scopy and Colonoscopy I was told I have mild to severe Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome. Since starting my treatment on medicine those years ago, I've experienced multiple relapses that mostly occur each and every month. There aren't definite reasons or causes to acquire such a condition and I don't necessarily attribute it to dairy products but one could argue that it can be a cause. So this is my most important reason for giving up milk. I will of course be looking for a substitute and will write a post about that as my experiment very soon.

This quote is from the US Department of Health and Human Services, Healthy People 2010.....

"Human milk is unique. Superior nutrients and beneficial substances found in human milk cannot be duplicated. Breastfeeding provides optimum health, nutritional, immunological and developmental benefits to children and protection from postpartum complications and future disease for mothers."

So, I'm going to examine the following substitutes for milk because I have given up drinking Cows Milk. From the substitutes below I'll be choosing one or two as a trial and see how it goes.
