Reginald Irby >1) and Reginald Gabriel, both distri butors of the Bahamian Diet, profess a motto: - I "Helping you develop healthier habits is our primary goal." (Photo By Teresa Simmons) Dick Gregory’s Slim Safe Bahamian Diet Products Distributed Locally By Teresa Simmons Post Managing Editor With a total of 75 million Ame ricans considered to be overweight,to some extent it seems probable that— -the fastest growing industry in this country is health and nutrient related. The latest in diet and mainten ance plans is the Dick Gregory’s Slim Safe Bahamian Diet. Released for distribution a little over a month ago, there are already several en trepreneurs selling the powder substance. Two of the distributors include Charlotteans Reginald Irby and Re ginald Gabriel. Both are natives of the- Queen City and became vege tarians seven years ago. “The ingredients are all derived from vegetable sources...every thing is natural, no synthetic che micals or dyes,” Irby commented. "The diet takes off the unwanted pounds in body fat instead of muscle fat.” Distributed by the Cernitin Ame rica, Inc., Dick Gregory combined his internationally famed 4X formu la with all-natural substances: in cluding carbohydrates, fat, dietary fiber, high quality' vegetable pro tein, plus 100 percent of the US RDA of vitamins and minerals. Potas sium has also been added to adjust for a typically rapid lost while dieting. In all, over 50 nutrients are contained within the didtary pro duct. The yellowish powdery substance can be mixed with any type juice or mixed with ice, pieces of fruit for a sort of milk-shake effect The nutrients in the formula most definitely are the key to the claim of curbing your appetite. The reason the Bahamian Diet can curb your appetite, Gabriel explains, is becuase of the abun dance of nutrients. “The nutrients effect your body and change what you crave - these nutrients curb hunger pains and that’s the key.” If the body maintains a proper nutritional level it considers itself “full.” That explains why Americans can be overweight but at the same time suffer from malnutrition. “Ameri cans are well fed but are under nourished people on the whole,”, stressed Irby. "Being overweight is caused when we go beyond the natural trigger. Your body says, ‘I’ve had enough, thank, you,’ But Americana, by overloading, don’t hear that trigger Being full or stuffed is not natural." “The overall idea," Irby ex plained, "is that by eating less you live longer. Now scientists have proven that periodic fasting gives our systems time to cleanse and relax. And the theory that we must eat three times a day is a fallacy." The Bahamian Diet can be used as a gradual or a seven-day rapid weight loes program. The gradual weight loss is ac complished by drinking the formu |( la, mixed with Juice, three times a day and eating one balanced meal, preferably at lunch. The seven-day rapid weight loes requires one to drink the formula mixed with Juke three times a day. You must drink eight glasses of water per day with each diet as well. Gregory explains In the Bahamian Diet booklet that the water helps to cleanse your System during periods of weight loss. The diet outline also includes an exercise schedule of walking - with an outline for people with no pre vious exercise, light exercise and medium exercise regimes There are also explanations of proper breathing techniques and "Dick Gregory’s Slim Affirmation," which Is, In essence, a sentence you re peat to yourself each day in psyching yourself to the point of becoming slimmer , Dkk Gregory, known as the ‘'health prophet" in Sweden, is perhaps the best example of the success of the 4X formula and the Bahamian diet. He has been using the product for 12 years. He is 'well known fui liis~ fasting efforts for political reasons and for starving individuals in the world. Once, after a 70-day medi cally supervised fast where he in gested only the formula used in the Bahamian Diet, he walked and ran 100 miles from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, La < By drinking only water. people have been known to die of starvation within 55 days.) , Gregory is an author, lecturer, actor, humorist and philosopher. He has become one of the leading experts on nutrition and diet con trol and authored, ‘‘Cooking With Mother Nature,” a best-seller for several years. At one time Gregory weighed about 300 pounds, smoked four packs of cigarettes and drank as much as a fifth of scotch daily. Years ago he drastically modified his diet and now epitomized the transforma tions the human body can achieve. Both Irby and Gabnei have been following the nutritional teachings of Gregory for years. They both have other professions, but took on the distribution of the Bahamian-Diet and other Cernitin America, Inc.— products such as the Flower Pollen, for energy and Ventrux Acido, in testinal bioculture to spread the word about nutrition. “People come first,” Gabriel commented. “One reason this product is not being sold have a one-to-one contact with in dividuals. We can more adequately explain what is given. We can give more knowledge about the~product j and we are there to aid. Making people more health conscious is our effort. The spirit of truth can only come when the body is pure. The body is the Temple of God and to corrupt it is sin.” For more information about the Bahamian Diet ($19.95) or about flower pollen, call Reginald Ga briel at 536-4225 or Reginald Irby at 331-5057.
