Great to see you here. Welcome to the site.

Thats great that you succeeded with the rainbow diet. I have thought about trying it myself but have just never got round to it.

I believe there was a topic in one of the forums about this, where others had tried it. I'll see if I can find the thread but it may have already dropped off as it was a while back.

*Aries* Kate

I had wonderful results with the diet! It really released stuck energy in the solar plexas chakra-I felt more like "myself" than I had in years and years....Empowerment is an added bonus!!! As an Aquarian with a destiny of 9, I'm determined to get the word out to all soon to be former "fatties". Now I love my body and I'm a weightlifter; it's been almost 4 years!!!!!!

This site is like a dream come true-her fans must have manifested it!

I don't know a lot about her life and death. Perhaps someone who intimatly does should write her biography! I was in shock when I heard she died-do most of her fans accept that as the truth?
Thanks again!!!

A Warm Welcome to this site !
I'm glad you are spreading more of Linda's magic to the world ... we all really need that kind of faith and trust ... thank you for sharing the truth ...
Look forward to more of your magic posts !

Glad you found us, Kelly....this is a great place

Love and peace,

How absolutely magical that your name is so similar to mine.......and the amazing thing is I have had to watch the pounds most of my life, I have tried just about every diet you could imagine, yes, I lose the weight, feel great but if I look at a piece of chocolate cake for more than 30 seconds.....it's straight on the hips!! and then I'm right back to square one!!

How have you managed to maintain a steady, healthy weight?.....that really is the big burning question, for me and many others
Do you continue to have your red solarised water, and use the colored light-bulbs???

I think it is a fabulous idea bringing this diet to the masses, but I think that was Linda's intention when writing Star Signs, and it has sold sooooooo many copies!! but maybe not everyone is convinced that it would work. I would love a breakdown of your daily routine.....if that isn't too personal

You sound fit and fantastic!!

Great to have you here.....and we shall all look forward to your input and comments!!

About the book on Linda's life......all good things come to those who wait patiently

Love and Laughter,
Kelly-Anne

I have not had to re-do the treatment, but I did install full-spectum lighting in my home, and I go to a tanning booth or lay out regularly-I live in Maine where it's cloudy or cold most of the time!
I think listening to the music(I used Green DAy!)with the INNER EAR is very important. The music needs to move you for sure. At first it's disturbing and unerving-probably because it's so different, but my tolorance for the loud rock music incresed. Does anyone have any other questions about the diet???

GALI!!!

White Sugar- does this mean that if a Nutritional Label lists sugar in the ingredients ... it is a no no?

French fries- why aren't they okay? is it the oil that they are fried in?

Is Grilled Chicken okay? or does the darkening caused by the grill make it a no no?

Is Soy Sauce a no no?

Did you drink any diet soda pop while on the color diet?

I hope that those questions don't sound too silly.

One last question- Did you do the color booster suggestions daily?

Thank you for your original post on this subject, Kelly!
...and Thank You to Linda Goodman for coming into our lives!!
-Teresa

I may be able to help with some of your questions. Sugar isn't recommended because it will either be white (bleached) sugar or brown sugar. Bleached products aren't good for the color diet, but they are passable. Linda wrote more on this -- bleached flours and sugars -- in a newsletter she used to publish called "Star Notes." (Linda's addendum is given at the end of this post.) Of course, brown sugar is out.

You're exactly right about the french fries. You may eat french fries made at home if you fry them in butter, canola oil, or safflower oil.

Soy sauce is unacceptable for the same reason as margarine. It's made with soybeans, which flouresce blue/green.

You'd be better off avoiding sodas, which are usually sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar. Diet sodas are usually sweetened with NutraSweet, which is detremental to the color diet. You can drink honey-sweetened lemonade, orange juice, pineapple juice, red grape juice, milk . . . As you can see, there are lots of other options. But, then again, we're 20th century people. We've been eating chemically processed and bleached foods all our lives. Our auras should be used to it be now!

The way Linda presents the information makes the color diet seem extremely difficult to follow. I don't think that was her intention. I think she just wanted us to be conscientious. I believe that it's the general tone of what you eat. Don't stress over individual foods. You won't always be able to eat correctly, no matter how hard you try.

I've tried the color diet a number of times to varying results. There are two reasons I really didn't succeed as I should have. One was anxiety (as you'll discover in Linda's addendum). I believe the other factor was my color bath music. I used to listen to pop. As Kelly said, the music is a very important part of the process. You really should listen to either the Sousa marches or the loud rock. This time, I'm using the Sousa marches.

LINDA GOODMAN IN STAR NOTES ON THE COLOR DIET

15 March, 1989 Star Notes - 6

All right, now to answer you personally, those of you who have written all those questions about the color diet in the Forgotten Rainbows section of Star Signs. 1 will respond in this Star Note to only two of them, the two most frequently asked, since the others concern puzzlements each of you should be able to solve by using your own very intelligent minds, combined with your intuition and logic. Figuring these minor matters out for yourself is good for you, and will cause your brains to jog down the highways of deductive reasoning, resulting in the activation of new brain cells in the process !

Question Number 1 relates to your confusion over the pounds gained and lost on the color diet. Along with the hundreds of letters telling me of your amazing success in using this ancient weight loss (or weight gain for the "skinnies") formula, I receive letters with such queries as "I lost 5 pounds the first 3 days - then nothing for the next two weeks." Or - "I didn't lose a single pound for 10 days, then lost 9 pounds in one week, then the loss went up and down every few days." Or - "I lost 2 pounds a day for three weeks, then I began to gain a pound a day for a week, and after that, I didn't either lose or gain. And they all end with "what am I doing wrong ?"
Well, there are two answers. Yes, you are doing something wrong. As to what it is, I take all the blame. I shouldn't, but I will. Actually, the blame should be placed on the typesetter of Star Signs and the publisher who did not carefully check the galley proofs meaning that a paragraph of my manuscript was deleted. Consequently, I'll explain it again
now. The deleted paragraph informed my readers (in italics yet!) that the color diet works
best when you DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF during it - to STAY AWAY FROM THE SCALES until the required period of exact days has been reached. There is a metaphysical reason for this. First of all the color diet is designed to bring your body into perfect harmony, the perfect weight for your individual bone structure and body build Therefore, in many cases, the color diet will first (or later) redistribute your weight, causing it to shift from where it shouldn't be to where it's needed, instead of causing it to disappear.

This redistribution period can occur in the beginning, the middle or near the end of the required period of days. At other times during the period, weight will be lost when necessary, after the body weight has been balanced (or earlier).

The first reason for avoiding the scales (hide them in the attic or the basement !) during the color diet is the RE-DISTRIBUTION of weight we just discussed. The second reason not to weigh yourself during the entire period is a mystical but quite sound and practical one - a truth that very few people fully comprehend. In a word, it's ANXIETY. Peering down at the scales with a mental microscope, meticulously counting the pounds, half pounds and quarter pounds either lost or gained, creates excessive enthusiasm - or the opposite, exaggerated and unnecessary disappointment and depression. Both of these emotional responses cause the release of certain acids from the brain which interfere in a very powerful manner with the delicate balancing taking place in the body.

This is why I strongly suggested in Star Signs that you try on the same pair of pants or jeans each day following your color bath and notice how much better they fit. This is a much more reliable index to how the color diet is working than your scales, for the reasons already given.

The second question most frequently asked is 100% my fault. I can't blame the typesetter or the publisher of Star Signs for this one ! Your acute intellects have been asking yourselves (and me !) a very logical question. "You say that white flour is a no-no," many of you write, "and you say that anything brown, such as whole wheat flour, is forbidden on the plumpie diet - that we can only use the color white - so how are we to make the noodles and pizza and so forth which are permitted for the plumpies who want to lose weight, if we can't use cither brown or white flour?" An excellent point.

Here is how I goofed. and I apologize for the error in the book. Before I explain it, let me answer the question first. You may use white flour when you make your noodles (with yellow butter !). This is why. A few pages before the list of permissible red-gold-yellow-orange ray foods for the plumpie diet, I wrote that white flour products are no-no's, not good for you. True.

What I neglected to say is that it's true, in general, for everyone, plumpies and skinnies alike. However while you are involved in the Color Diet or Rainbow Diet, certain basic or general rules may be broken - only for the period of the color transformation. When you have balanced and harmonized your body, having redistributed and lost the proper amount of weight, then you can return to following the counsel that white flour and white sugar are no-no's for your general health. I've received not a single complaint, by the way, from the "skinnies." Either they are following the rainbow plan properly and flawlessly - or skinny folk are extremely rare in the world at large! The ratio of you who are delighted with the success of the color program for weight loss and those who are having problems is about 3 to 1 in favor of successes, and I trust that the answers I've given here to your most pressing questions will make it work for you . . . because it does work, I assure you. A special scolding to those of you who say you are "doing everything except drinking the solarized water, because you can't find the red glass — or you are "skipping" the red or rose tinted glasses Booster step — or skipping other facets of the program — don't expect success unless you follow all the steps given.

END OF LINDA'S ADDENDUM

Hope this helps.

Thomas

Thomad dear ... thank you for that addendum ... and for sharing more of Linda's truth ... this should really lighten up the skeptics ... to take a "jog down their deductive reasoning" pathways and get new brain cells in the process which will definitely bring out a "young, optimistic and trusting outlook" to the outdated modes of our thinking processes ! ... I truly believe tht when people are not finding the answers to Linda's truths ... inspite of her saying that one must experiment and experience the magics to truly believe ... they must be doing it the wrong way ... or viewing from another angle ... With the "Linda is right" knowing to guide me on my way ... I can never go wrong ... ... unless I want to ...

The Music- My supportive partner in life is a Latin Percussionist and he's making a tape for me with Bongo's and Conga's supplying the drum beats. That should work, shouldn't it?

High Fructose Corn Syrup- Oh. I thought that Corn Syrup would be okay, just not Maple. Hmm? 'High Fructose' seems to be in a lot of stuff these days. My diet soda question was posed misleadingly (I'm feeling guilty) as I am a Diet Pepsi-aholic and I was willing to switch to a diet red raspberry type soda but one of the ingredients in diet soda's these days is Aspartame which is an Artifical Sweetener (a big NO NO, I know) but I thought that maybe (as long as the color of the drink was in the right spectrum...) Busted, huh. See Thomas, that soda thing will be my greatest challenge to success with my jounery. A 'test' that I plan on passing with flying Colors!

The Grilled Chicken- did that question make any sense. Does the outer surface of 'okay foods' color affect the spectrum balancing?

Thomas, I promise that I will not stress too much over the food part of this journey. I am just curious (and want to be a good student).

Thank you, again, for your help with my forthcoming journey.

And a Thank You to Druid for welcoming me to this wonderful area.

-Teresa

I'm glad you found the addendum to be helpful. Linda wrote some very important info there. It's a shame it was accidentally left out of Star Signs.

Thomas

I'm feel positive about the music. Linda specified music with lots of drum beats, pounding Mars music. So, the Latin percussion tape may fall with the proper guidelines. I just used my Number Method (described on the Words and Numbers Forum of this site) and got a positive answer. I'd say go with it.

About the high fructose corn syrup . . . Well, fructose is bright white in its pure crystalline form. Corn syrup is clear. So, the combination high fructose corn syrup may be fine. I was just thinking that it might be a little detrimental because of the processing involved.

However, and this is most important, I don't think it will prevent you from losing weight. I don't think it's beneficial, but I don't think it will completely halt the process.

You saw that Linda had to amend her instructions regarding white sugar and white flour. This seemed like wonderful advice in Star Signs. But, the food portion, as described in Star Signs, is so restrictive that to follow it exactly is very difficult.

Likewise with the sugar substitutes. They're detrimental to the process, and I feel you should strive to keep them to a minimum, but I don't think they will keep you from seeing success with the color. (Again, my Number Method confirms.)

I think sugar substitutes and high fructose corn syrup are probably less detrimental than aspartame, NutraSweet, and other artificial sweeteners. So, you'd probably be better off drinking regular sodas instead of diet drinks. The irony, the irony!

My Higher Self (Number Method again) says it's better to avoid the grilled chicken if it's going to be darkened to the blue-green spectrum in the grilling process.

Still, remember that the foods need to be red-gold on the whole. This bears repeating: You won't be able to follow the color diet flawlessly all the time. Just try to be conscientious. I can tell that you will be.

Good luck, loser. (How often does one get to say that and have it mean something positive?)

Thomas

So, may I ask how you are handling the light bulb situation on your end?

Your reply made my day so much better. I laughed an smiled at being called a Loser.

Thank you, Thomas.

Teresa

I'm glad to be of help. This information is too important to be selfish. Considering all those who need to lose weight for energy, self-esteem, and -- most importantly -- health reasons, I don't have a right to not help! Being blessed with this information is, well, a blessing.

You can get 100-watt red opaque bulbs from Atlanta Light Bulbs: 770-491-3145. I got regular 100-watt bulbs from them, but also a 150-watt red flood. That baby shines! You can also try Wal-Mart. I recall seeing colored bulbs and colored floods there.

Hope this helps.

Love and red light!

Thomas

Thank You,
You're the 'Most' !!!

Dear KELLY and TERESA

WELCOME TO THIS PRECIOUS PLACE !!!

Much Love
essence

THANK YOU for Giving us LINDA's ADDENDUM, it really means SO much and it IS a SHAME it was left out of STAR SIGNS ...

Much Love
essence

I am so pleased to find this topic has really gone off like a rocket!!! }) Exactly my intention...let me add some details of my experience without being too influenced by what I've read here and remember about Linda's writings....
I used tons of white suger. I ate butterscotch and bananas at 11 at night-Lasagna,Lots of Italian stuff.. "fattening" food-only I focused on the Color I was putting into my body. So to me, grilled/blackened chicken would be out; cancer causing free radicals from grilling are bad for you anyways!
Soda in general interferes with digestion-stay away from it! That Nutra sweet will kill ya too. I did drink one cup of black coffee every morning. Sorry, I just wasen't going to give up that!
I really stuck to the solorized water(plastic glasses I got at Walmart)consumed at room temp. I used a red outdoor accent lamp pluged into a portable lamp-again, Walmart or hardware store!
I weighted myself every day-I was losing a pound a day for awhile there!!! I was also doing yoga, though, and really getting into the color bath with rock music. At first it was very disturbing to me-especially first thing at daybreak-but I really feel it "charged" my solar plexus chakra. ***The beat of the music I listened to is just a bit faster than even normal rock music. Much Faster! Listen to some of the Green Day-Fuel-Eve 6.-What can I tell ya? Someone other than me that knows a lot more about music could look into this for us...hint....hint....***
I haven't done a thing since going off the diet different except(a biggie)I'm now weightlifting. I love to work out and I feel the diet gave me back my self-empowerment. I will add too that It's Tre Important to wear white and red and pink clothes; think of it, that's the filter the light rays go through to get to your body....I'm also very interested now in Feng-Shui and the colors around us in general! I'll elaborate on this in another thread if there is an intrest!

My greatest wish(as only an Aquarian would wish)is that my fellow brothers and sisters are able to balance themselves and get on with their lives as well!
I did have a great belief in this diet-it makes perfect, logical, scientific sense.

Love and Light,
Kelly

BLESSINGS to YOU !!!

It really is a JOY to hear your story, thanks MUCH

I was just curious, were you spared Anxiety, even tho you got on the scale every day ???

Much Love

I have never tried the color diet, but I have absolutely no doubt that it works. The only reason I never tried it was because I dreaded giving up coffee (especially in the morning)...

Glad to hear from you

Much Love

I'm on day 20 of the color diet. I can't say I'm pleased with the results (yet), but I intend to see this through to the delightful end. As you may know, I've tried this a number of times before with varying results. I did a one-card online tarot reading about my experience this time. I got The Sun (which corresponds to the numerological 19). That was a clear signal that I'm on the right track. I had told my Higher Self that if I received 19=The Sun -- which just happens to be my favorite card -- I would know I was on the right track. And there it was!

I'm doing the foods, the solarized water, the color-music baths, the red sunglasses when outside, and the bright-colored clothes. I've been listening to the Sousa Marches. However, I'm going to make myself a rock tape. I don't particularly enjoy the Sousa Marches, and they make the 30-minute color baths seem like an hour.

I hope all of you are doing well on your journeys. I hope all of you will share your results here.

Let color do it!

Thomas

You seem to be doing well on the color diet. I wish I had the will power to venture into this method. Keep us posted with your progress.

*Aries* Kate

So VERY Good to see you Here !!! I'm going to try to Image and Ordain some willpower, mysELF, perhaps it's time for me to order THE PLEROMIC JOURNEY cassette, from the back of THE LION PATH as "Weekly use of the sustaining tape will help you to let go of those habits no longer in harmony with your growing spiritual aspirations".

Color's BEST to ALL

Hi Thomas

Much LOVE
essence

However, I am concerned that I must be doing something incorrectly, although I keep repeating to my S-elf that, "I am doing everything correctly to my knowledge to achieve Color Harmony" so maybe, that because I am using a 75w lightbulb, it will just be a bit slower to success?

The one booster that I cannot seem to follow routinely is the Mental Visualization.

I was sorry to hear that the music you were using was difficult. I hope that you find some new music that keeps your spirits up!

Love and Red Light/Music

Teresa

Thank You, Essence, for welcoming me to this most essential forum

Hi!!! I'm GLAD you are going to see the DELIGHTFUL end of the Color Diet Altho I haven't done the diet yet, I just can't help thinking that when one is on the diet, dutifully going along with the program and seemingly SEEing no results, WHAM/BAM - Magic, Just LIKE that Results !!! Keep us posted of the COLORful ending !!!

Much LOVE
essence

I think you are probably doing everything fine on the color diet. I know several people who have worked with the color diet and they all had different kinds of results based on a number of factors (how well they followed the plan, the anxiety factor, having to stop and start, their own auric make-ups, etc.).

In my case, I vibed on the process and my Higher Self told me that everything was fine. I just need to stick with it. I did before and after aura pictures when I was on the color diet in 1997. Before, my aura was ALL BLUE with slight brushes of white. After, my aura was a peach-purple-pink hybrid. The color diet had changed my aura to a certain extent, but not enough for permanent weight loss. You see, the red-orange energy superimposed itself on my blue energy and the resultant was the color mixture mentioned above. After the color diet, I swiftly regained all the weight I lost.

That time, I lost about 40 pounds (only one-fourth of what I needed to lose). I stayed on the color diet about four months. However, I only recall losing for about 4-6 weeks of that time. Also, if my memory serves me correctly, I didn't really see any results for the first 30 days. After that, the weight came off rather quickly. Then, the weight loss stopped.

I am using the Sousa Marches Linda recommended in Star Signs (before, I was using pop). Since I've made this adjustment, which I feel is significant considering how important the music is to the color baths, I'm expecting the full weight loss this time.

I know you want to be conscientious about the plan. However, I wouldn't stress too much over the visualizations. I used to forget to do them almost all the time, so I stopped doing them. I think the 75-watt bulb is passable. However, I'd try to get a bulb with higher wattage. If you want to get a bulb with higher wattage, contact Atlanta Light Bulbs at 770-491-3145. I use a 150-watt red flood, which I think is wonderful for the process. It was only $5-6, if my memory serves me correctly.

I don't think everyone is going to see results as immediately as Kelly. Linda said in her addendum that we all will experience our weight loss as different times and in different ways during the process. I'm really excited. We're become redder by the day.

Thomas

Teresa

I was going to purchase a 100 watt flood (and a swing-arm lamp that would hold the bulb's size) but the man at the store counter said that I couldn't use the 100w in that lamp because it would melt the plastic base where the bulb screws into it. I argued that I had been using a 75w bulb in a similar lamp and the plastic part was just fine. He said that 25 watts more would not be fine.

I recall that Linda was adamant about not staying on the diet longer than 63 days, so I was surprised to hear that you were on it for about 4 months. Is there another addendum that says something differently than what I read about that?

I am glad to know that I am not alone in having difficulty with the visualization part. As for the stress factor ... I believe I was born with stress and it is just part of my genetic make-up At least I can still laugh at myself

I am really excited for us both, Thomas!
And for all of the others out there who are on this amazing journey.

Red Power to us all !!

Teresa

p.s. Are we supposed to have a perfect 'Rainbow' colored aura at the end of our journey?
Do you shower after each color bath?
Just curious

I'm delighted to share my experiences on the color diet with you. Having suffered with a weight problem a good portion of my life, I know what an emotional, spiritual, and physical burden excess weight can be.

I took the aura pictures at psychic fairs. We have lots of those here in Atlanta. There are special aura cameras that sense the colors around your body using Kirlian photography. Very interesting. The lady who took my before picture worked a Star Trek convention and had pics of several stars of the show. The only one I recall seeing was Levar Burton's aura -- very sunny with lots of orange. That fits him perfectly. He's very creative and does quite a bit with children on PBS. When I had my before pic taken -- the all blue brushed with white pic -- lots of people at the fair complimented me on how pretty my aura was.

I use a little gooseneck typing lamp I bought at Office Depot for about $12. Haven't had any problems using the 150-watt flood in it. But, then again, I only use the lamp for 30-minutes a day.

Linda didn't say anything about staying on the color diet longer than 63 days. If it works correctly, I believe in that time frame. However, I wasn't seeing the kind of results Linda described and had no one to advise me. I didn't even have Linda's addendum at that point (Linda's Earthly angel Crystal Bush sent it to me the following spring). I just assumed my aura wasn't balanced yet, so I kept right on with the color baths. I don't think the music I was listening to was red enough. However, if I had continued, I would have succeeded eventually, according to my Higher Self. The thing is that it probably would have taken a really long time. The light and music are designed to supercharge your aura. Linda (or whoever taught it to her) set up the plan so that if you use the right music with the colored light, you would lose all you need to by the 63rd day. I feel strongly that I will get this weight off by the 63rd day; but if I don't, I'll just give it extra time.

At the end, your aura won't necessarily be perfect, but it will be balanced with the missing rainbow spectrum. I believe that curing the weight problem will also cure other weight-related problems. So, if you have a weight-sensitive condition, the color diet might help that along with the weight. Also, think of the psychological difference between someone red-orange and someone blue-green. All this could be nonsense. Just thinking.

I rarely shower AFTER the color baths. I usually show before the color baths. I try to do the color baths between 6-6:30 am. If I took showers after the baths, I'd be even later to work than I usually am. However, I used to make a point of showering after the color baths just so I could do the pants test to see if there were any results. I never could tell any difference.

Just making sure: Don't wear the green sunglasses during the color diet. It counteracts what you're trying to do.

Red power!

Thomas

About the flood bulb. I had told that man at the store that It would only be on for 30 minutes a day but he just shook his head and said "not a good idea," but since it is working just fine for you, it must be the L from Love 'magic' making it 'Ideal' for a color bath, I will now upgrade the wattage without reservations.

I am sure you are on to something with what you implied about the psychological differences between someone red-orange and someone blue-green. It does make sense (seen) so it cannot be nonsense (no-sense)

I recall reading/remembering that Linda said the amount of days on the rainbow diet has significance (equaling 9 for plumpies and 6 for skinnies).

So far the 'pants' thing has not shown me anything positive. I try not to let it make me negative...I'm a tough ram, and I feel confident that I will succeed. Patience is NOT on of my virtues, but Stubbornness IS!

I have never been to a psychic fair. I have never been to a psychic, either. I worked with a women who was psychic and I pretty much keep my distance because so many co-workers came to her all the time with their palms sticking out and it was a bit unnerving/tacky. The one time that we spoke about something personal, the information she volunteered was quite amazing, and a bit spooky...
However, I am quite fascinated by your aura pictures and may find myself at a psychic fair someday soon, who knows?

Red Power!

Teresa

p.s. Thomas, we know that your Aura is beautiful no matter what color it currently glows

Awww, shucks. You're making me blush pink.

You're totally right about the 9 thing relating to the number of days. 9 corresponds to the vibe we want. So, if you're not done with the color diet by the 63rd day (and I think you will be!), just continue in 9-day increments until you reach your weight goal.

True, patience isn't an Aries virtue. But, persistence is. Those tough Ram horns can blast down any wall, even the wall of doubt. You're right to not let your apparent lack of results discourage you. Your aura is absolutely changing, even if it hasn't changed enough for you to see visible results yet. I still have 39 days to go and you have quite a few ahead too. The balance is still ahead of us. Time is on our side.

I do hope you are able to get an aura picture done. Very interesting. I'm having another one done after this color diet cycle.

Teresa, I'm very happy that you're doing this at the same time as me. It's really wonderful to have someone to chat and compare notes with. We really motivate each other and, probably, the other readers of this thread too. Once they read how we blast Hell wide open, everyone here will be on the color diet! And it's entirely appropro. You have the Sun in Aries. I have the Moon in Aries (with Mars rising no less). We're supposed to be the frontrunners on this.

Red power!

Thomas

An Abundance of Blessings

Crystal.

*Aries* Kate

What I love to do, alot, is complain, but I will not complain because I know that that is part of my test. So, would it be considered complaining? if I said that Mercury currently in retrograde is the culprit regarding the 'pants test' dilemma?

I really do want to get a picture of my current aura. May I ask you how much is usually charged for that procedure?

Thomas, I too, am glad that we are on this same journey together.
You definitely keep me going! as does the beautiful posts of support and encouragement from others in this forum.

Speaking of comparing notes, I have something interesting to share and would like to know if something similar has been happening to you:

After my color bath my fingertips are really sensitive. It isn't really painful, but something is definitely going on...tho it doesn't last too long. Interesting.

Red Power!

I thank you so much for your beautiful words of encouragement and for the positive energy and LOVE. It means so much. And thanks for being Linda's Earthly angel -- and mine too. Your help in finding the color diet addendum was invaluable and a true miracle.

The book at the end of this process will be an interesting one indeed. I've saved all my notes and emails I've sent and received about the color diet. I plan to write about my experiences eventually. If possible, I'd love to work with you and other members on adding what we've learned about the color diet process to the Forgotten Rainbows chapter of Star Signs for future printings. Kelly, Teresa, and myself have learned much that may enrich the understanding of the color diet process for others who may follow us on the path.

Thanks again, Crystal, for all you've done on Linda's behalf for all of us. You are a true gem.

Thomas

Thanks for the lovely words of encouragement. I, too, can hear the applause, and it sounds marvelous!

Thomas

Thanks for your support too. I'm all smiles.

Tested. Oh yes, I know. But, we're passing this test with flying colors. Our Higher Selves want to us to believe. We're living the lie and we'll be able to claim the lie very soon, as Linda's lexigrams of believe ("live a lie") and miracle ("claim a lie") reveal. Besides, the color diet isn't that hard. The hardest part for me is getting up at dawn to do the color baths. It'll be over before you know it.

I don't think Mercury retrograde is the reason for your slow pants test results. I truly believe that it has a lot to do with the colors in your aura before you start the color diet. Your aura is changing, but it is still imbalanced to the blue-green spectrum. Give your aura time to adjust to these new color patterns. Don't let Kelly's swift and instant results make you think there is something awry.

I think the aura pictures were $10-15. They weren't expensive at all.

I haven't had the same experience of tingling in my fingertips. But, I do find that I have to rest for 10-20 minutes after the color baths. The energy has me so charged up and hyper that I have to calm myself back down before getting up to get dressed.

I know it's hard, but we can't give in. Reading Linda's description in Star Signs of how the color diet is supposed to work and reading Kelly's posts describing how she started losing from the first day can be a little disheartening. We've been doing this for weeks without any results, right? Wrong! Our auras are surely changing and that change will manifest weight-wise soon. I've reduced the pants test to once a week to curb the disappointment factor.

It IS working. Keep the faith.

Red power!

A big welcome to the site, have fun here, its a great place.

*Aries* Kate

We attempted to go to a Psychic Fair to have aura pictures taken, but the place that we knew had Fairs was having a Record Sale that day. Go figure.
I will keep searching, cuz I really want aura pictures to see what's going on here.

Red Power!

Nous sommes tous heureux de faire ta connaissance! Bonne chance avec le régime des couleurs "arc en ciel." Je sais que tu vas réussir! Ne le doute point.

Mes sentiments dévoués,

I know how things can go, but you're doing a fabulous job of keeping yourself motivated. Actually, I've found that issues tend to surface surrounding the color diet. One person had to deal with drama with her mother over the color diet. She recently moved into her own place. I've had to deal with people wondering why I have red glasses sitting out in the Sun. I tend to be very secretive. I'm learning to be more open and to not be ashamed of things others don't necessarily approve of. Belke related his drama with his father. You're confronting certain issues with your partner. Such is the color diet. Remember that red people do things differently that us formerly blue-green people. Red people put the energy out there. Blue-green overweight people suppress emotions, hide, and/or indulge in all kinds of insecurities. I view drama and the resulting resolutions or confrontations as natural parts of the weight loss process on the color diet. When you change the body, the mind, spirit, and soul have to adjust too.

Part of this whole process is breaking free of other people's garbage and negative influences. You're learning to stand confidently on your own two feet. Red is a color of courage, individuality, and assertiveness. YOU are doing the color diet for YOUR own betterment. This is YOUR program. You don't need to convince anyone else of anything. And let your friend watch the food channel to his heart's content. You're becoming a red person. Your will and self-directedness are becoming the overruling factors in your well-being.

Red power!

Welcome to this wonderful site. Good luck on the color diet. It's a wonderful process. Keep us posted on your progress when you get started.

By spotlight, do you mean a flood light (used for outdoor lighting)? If so, that will be wonderful. I use a 150-watt red flood light.

And what's this nonsense about you almost giving up because you couldn't find the bulb. Star Signs wasn't just about the color diet -- or the numerology system -- or lexigrams. It was also about encouragement and the knowledge that you can ordain your Higher Self to do whatever you feel needs to be done.

How will you explain the color diet to others? Who says you have to? Who says anyone has to understand or approve? If anyone inquires and you don't think they'll understand, you have the right to tell them you're working on a personal project. Or you could explain what you're doing and not give a damn. You can't be a red person with a blue-green attitude.

Red power!

Today is day 31! I'm still on the path. My Higher Self is standing by his guns: The color diet is working fine. I sure would love to see RESULTS, but I'm in it to win it. We OWN this. NOW, we've WON! Our dreams are made of the sternest stuff and the manifestation is coming soon enough (I don't think Linda would mind a little plagiarism ).

Great questions. The whole matter of the colors that foods flouresce is a iffy one sometimes. For example, margarine flouresces blue-green (usually) because most margarines are made with soybean oil. However, there are some margarines made with canola and safflower oils. Linda approved mayonnaise for plumpies, but nearly all mayos are made with soybean oil, though I found some made with canola and safflower oils (Yuk!) at a natural grocery store here. So, even though mayo is white, it still has a sblue-green element in it. Likewise with ranch dressing.

Cereals (or products in general) with wheat and oats should be products with white or yellow or golden wheat or oats. So, cream of wheat, for example, would be excellent.

Hope this helps.

Red power!

Thomas

Welcome to this wonderful site and forum.

I'll be glad to help in any way I can. This forum is all about helping. You can't imagine how marvelous it is just to be able to share my results with someone else on the same path.

Guess what?
I found a Psychic Fair! and they do Aura Photography!!
The cost is $20-you get the picture and the man spends 10-15 minutes with
you interpreting it. I am very excited, but I am also worried because of the things Linda wrote regarding our auric egg and the influences that affect them. I know that I will be a bit nervous and I would hate that to affect the aura photo. Any tips?

About that soy oil:
did you happen to test it under fluorescence? I am asking because from all my label reading of late, it seems that soy oil is in almost EVERYTHING and I am worried that I have ingested trace amounts that may affect all of my hard work.
oops. I am stressing a little... but my FOCUS is on COLOR !

Day 23 and feeling more positive energy after each color bath (I stopped wearing those tight fitting jeans...too much metaphysically negative energy ) and when finished, I get up and say aloud " Red Power ! " and join in with those clapping hands

I send you lots of Positive Energy, do you feel it?

Red Power!

Teresa

Ready...set...Red Power!

Teresa

Yes, I can feel your positivity and enthusiasm. I need it to be sure. I'm positive most of the time, but I do get a little exasperated every now and then. Occasionally, I have to re-mind myself that my Higher Self has told me that everything is going fine.

I hope you have a blast at the psychic fair. It's true that your aura does fluctuate with your emotions, but I don't think it will fluctuate so much that you won't be able to detect the general color scheme. I'd expect to see a significant difference if you were extremely angry or extremely afraid, for example. But, just normal everyday living shouldn't make too big a difference.

I didn't do a flourescent light test. I did A LOT of research into the foods. Soybeans flouresce blue-green, so it's only natural that their oil would too. And you're right: Soybean oil is in almost everything.

Now, think about it: Linda said in Star Signs that plumpies can't have anything with margarine (mostly made with soybean oil), white sugar (bleached), white flour (bleached), sugar substitutes, or anything in the blue-green color spectrum. These reqs reduce the food portion to almost nothing! I'm sure that wasn't Linda's intention. And you saw in the addendum that Linda amended her instructions regarding white sugar and white flour. Kelly used lots of white sugar and white flour AND drank a cup of black coffee every day.

And no: A few traces of soybean oil will NOT ruin all your hard work. When I did the color diet in 1997, I was obsessively cautious and exacting. I ate literally the same things everyday. Did that make the color diet work any better? NO!

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. What's important is that you eat the proper colors of foods ON THE WHOLE. The soybean oil, or any other foods that may not strictly be in the proper color spectrum, isn't the reason for the slow results.

Yesterday, I had eggs with cheese, white rice with butter, cantaloupe, strawberries, a turkey sub on white (with no lettuce), a bag of Doritos (cooked in canola oil), fettucine alfredo with chicken, orange juice, raspberry lemonade, and a tossed salad with dinner (at Red Lobster). That one tossed salad did not singlehandedly destroy the color diet process. Notice that everything else I ate fell within the red-gold color spectrum.

Stop worrying. I know this gets exasperating at times. But, the color diet is going fine. Dreams . . . sterner stuff . . . manifestation . . . soon enough . . .

Red power!

Thomas

The psychic fair is next weekend. I hope I don't get too nervous about the aura photography because I want to have a clear picture of where my aura is at. Should I explain to the photographer that I am currently doing color bath therapy?

I always laugh we people tell me to stop worrying...I swear it's a built in mechanism I'm working on it...

I am a beginner at lexigramming, but I am working on one that I feel may be very helpful/insightful here. I need alittle more time on it, tho. It is a very interesting process. Keeps the mind off of worrying for a while

Red Power!

I'm excited for you. I know you'll get a kick out of your aura picture. It's very interesting. Actually, it really doesn't matter how much your worry -- or not worry. Just be yourself. Your aura is going to reflect you, no matter what.

Don't worry. It's going to turn out fine. You just might want to tell the photographer you're doing color bath therapy. He might find it useful to include this info in your color analysis. Your present aura work might present some unique challenges for him as he tries to interpret your aura.

Red power!

Trying to buy some food for the color diet can be hard. I myself want to be prepared as much as possible. ONe of my favorite foods is cereal. I have been to many "regular" grocery stores (what I mean by regular: non health food stores), like Winn Dixie, etc. I couldn't find ONE cereal that wasn't made WITHOUT WHITE SUGAR. WELL, it so happens I was in Food Lion the other day and I came across this new cereal by General Mills called SUNRISE. It's all organic. I was reading the ingredients... RAW SUGAR, GOLDEN HONEY, RED WHEAT, CORN,... the color of the cereal is red and golden, like a golden yellow. Now those of you that have had more experience with the color diet, would this be an "OK" cereal to eat? OH I hope so! If someone can find the cereal and read the ingredients on the box... let me know what you think. THANKS GUYS!!!

Love

Thanks for the high marks. Your encouragement is truly appreciated. It means so much to have your support. But, darn! Now, I have to live up to the "hype."

Thomas

What a lovely and inspired poem! You have the gift of prose. Thanks for sharing it here. Your kind and uplifting words, with red's boldness and gold's majesty, fill me with cheer. Thank you, friend, for reminding me and affirming it to the universe that the outcome is clear.

A bright, clear red.

Thanks,

Thomas

I loved your brilliant and revealing lexigram. I'm totally there with you. Yes, CALORIES ARE CLEAR LIES! And there's no "no" to complicate the lexigram. It was a fabulous idea to lexigram the word CALORIES. It hadn't even occurred to me to do so.

Red power!

Thomas

The cereal sounds good to me. One word of advice: Don't obssess over the foods. I've been there. So has Teresa. I'm going to repeat this one more time: It's important to eat the right foods ON THE WHOLE. To follow the instructions exactly as they are given in Star Signs is to practically eat nothing at all.

I know this thread is long, but I suggest that you spend some time going through it. We've discussed the foods extensively and most of your questions should be answered here. I also posted an addendum by Linda where she amended her instructions in Star Signs concerning white sugar and white flour.

One word about the cereal: It contains raw sugar, which is usually BROWN, not white.

When you go on the color diet, please keep us posted on your progress. Just do the best you can and you'll do fine.

Red power!

I am Lisandra, I just wanted to share my experience with the color diet. I started it on July 24, tomorrow will be a week. So far I have seen no results. I take the color bath listening to smashing pumpkins. I realized though that I was putting the light from the lamp under my navel instead of putting it above it between the navel and breastbone, does anyone know if this would slow the effect down?? I am also using a 75w red flood.

It is hard for me also to stick to doing the visuals at the same time every day, so far I have not skipped them though. It was hard for me to find red cups, so what I did was I bought two big jars and spray painted them red.
I notice that every time after drinking the red solarized water my face becomes flushed. I also spray painted my blck goose neck lamp red. I am feeling guilty today though, I sort of cheated because I ate a teriyakie chicken bowl with soy sauce !! Yes! Is that going to affect my diet??
I have a question I have a friend who also wants to try the diet but is very much addicted to coke, and she will not give it up, does anyone know if she can drink coke and still succed ??

Well hope someone takes time to respond to me. I would also like to share notes with others who are in this Journey.

Well lots of love to you all!

Thanks for sharing your results with us. The color diet can be slow going at first. Both Teresa and I had the same experience. Stick with it!

If you haven't done so, I'd suggest that you read through this thread. I know it's long, but the amount of information here is incredible. Most, if not all, of your questions should be answered here.

Today is day 40 and finally some results! I did my pants test today. I could tell a slight difference. The difference was small, but encouraging nonetheless. Higher Self says I'll be able to wear this particular pair in about two weeks. And yes, it will take me more than 63 days. But, as I said earlier, I intend to follow this through to the delightful end.

I just had share the good news with you all.

Congratulations on the positive pants test results!

I am still patiently waiting ...

and still keeping as positive as possible. I had to switch to an orange bulb for a few days, but I am back to red now.

Today is the day that I will be having my aura picture taken! I will let you know how it goes.

Great to have you here.

GOD BLESS ALL YOU DEVOTEES OF RED POWER!

I tried the diet over the winter, I was DEDICATED. I found my red glasses on a bargain table in an after Christmas sale after speaking to numerous glasswear people who could not seem to locate any for me.

OH, I was faithful. My family laughed, and it didn't matter. Then I went away for a winter 50th birthday weekend with a relative and her friends. I was DETERMINED.
I brought all of the paraphenalia and told everyone who asked. Interestingly, many were open to it. But low and behold I blew it. Even tho' i brought chili for myself (and others), by the end of the weekend I goofed.

It had been about 28 or 29 days! It felt very EMPOWERING!!! And the fact that I would go so long without white sugar and flour I thought was MAGIC in and of itself.

I DO BELIEVE I lost some weight, tho' inever weighed myself. I had NO ANXIETIES, ONLY A KNOWING. I felt great and had a Ball.
I listened to PAUL SIMONS GRACELAND. It got a bit old. My tummy looked great, for me.

you are all so INSPIRING, I think I'll try it again. Even the woman in the lighting store (Greg, it would be GRAND if you could sell the bulbs) said...be sure to let me know how it works!

"Twas by far the most FUN AND SILLY AND MAGICAL way I've ever tried to slsim down.

And as I feel I'm beginning to resemble a TUMBLEWEED, I need to give it another go.

KNOWING YOU WILL SUCCEED!!

Annie

I'm thrilled at how well this thread has taken off. This has turned into a place of true sharing and encouragement. Tammy, a member, started a similar thread at the inception of the Linda Goodman site. It got a few posts and quickly dwindled away. I had no idea that there were so many who needed this. I was starting to wonder if Tammy and I were the only ones serious about this. Before Kelly's initial post here, finding info about the color diet had proven to be extremely difficult.

But, here we are! I want to thank all of you for your kindness and support.

We're making a difference here.

Red power!

Thomas

Can't wait to hear about your aura picture experience.

Thomas

I think the time has come. This thread has become long and loads slowly sometimes. This thread has turned out to be incredible for the amount of information and insight given here, but it may be time for The Rainbow Diet 2.

It's marvelously appropriate that this is the 94th post on this thread. 94 reduces to the double number 13, a number of regeneration and change. So, in this 94th post, I'm putting the energy for change out there.

Red power!
