Chi Discussion Forum

After reading your Chi Running and Chi Walking books, learning both ways and combining them with the knowledge I have from Aikido, I am curious to learn more about Chi and the way we prepare and eat our foods. Is there going to be a book on that as well?
Could you tell me more about where the advise is coming from (what books to read) that you give in your books.

Thank you and warm regards from the Netherlands.

Hi Jose,

Thanks for writing! Katherine and Danny Dreyer have developed the way that they eat and prepare foods from years of practicing T’ai Chi, meditation, and reading countless numbers of books. It’s hard to name just a few books that they would have developed own philosophy from. A few that I can name off the top of my head are The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Food Matters, and Good Calories, Bad Calories.

There are no plans to write a book on nutrition at the moment, but it could be a possibility one day in the future. Sorry I don’t have more to offer you, Jose. The most important thing is to try to listen to your body and eat appropriately for your being. I hope this helps you some. Take care!

Thank you for the quick answer. It is exactly that what you mention which makes the Chi Food book so special. The listening to your body part, I mean.

I am doing my Ph.D. on a subject that is related. I am planning on writing a book afterwards with my findings and Chi Food will definitely be in it.

Excellent, Jose! Please keep in touch about about your book. We’d love to have a read, and the Dreyers may even be willing to write up a recommendation. Thanks for writing, Jose.
