Part 1
Galatians 5:19-21 NIV
Acts of a Sinful nature are obvious
Sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, fractions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Acts of the dietary behavior are obvious
fast food, fried foods, large portions, simple sugars, high sodium, high fat, low fiber, sedentary lifestyle, no fruits, no vegetables
Unhealthy eating and no physical activity = poor health over time. My expertise lies in physical activity but nutrition is even more important.
Scripture tells us that by taking part in debaucherous behaviors we will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
...Gods temple, your physical body, participating in behaviors such regular intake of high fatty foods, sugars and the like will prove obvious during health screenings and when you step on the scale. The body that God gave us all has began conforming to a new way of living based on our food intake.
For Gods mercy we are urged to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.
(Rom. 12:1)

Don't Give Food Lordship over your Life
Galatians 5:16-17 NIV
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature, For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Fast food is marketed on television, bus stops, magazines and when you are out, the smell saturates the air tapping into your olfactory sense and heightening your desire to purchase it. These foods usually work in the slow corrosion of the body.
Living in the Spirit we are at all times tempted by sinful behaviors that promise to make us feel good. If you live in good health you are constantly tempted by foods that promise to be good to you but are not necessarily good for you. So just like the Spirit and sin you will be at war with yourself about what to eat.
Just as you come out of living in sin to a life in Christ, coming out of eating whatever you want, to eating what is healthy for your body it is a process. Change is not instantaneous but is definitely constant. The walk with Jesus and staying on track with your fitness and proper nutrition require much focus and dedication. Staying in God's word and putting into practice healthy eating habits keeps you on track for living the 'good life' as God would so want us to have.
God Bless
