America is overweight.
It’s all over TV, magazines, the
radio. Everyone is looking for the next big weight loss secret. People spend
hundreds of dollars on special diet foods, pills, drinks. Anything to help them
shed the extra lbs.
So why isn’t this working?
WE’RE TRYING TO HARD!
It’s really classic 1st
world behavior. We have a problem, but instead of backing up and looking at how
things can be simplified to alleviate this problem, we complicate things more.
Instead of eating less processed
foods, we’re eating more processed foods because their “fat free”
“sugar free” “low fat”.
Tell me this people, Do you want to
eat something that was chemically produced or something from the God given
earth?
“sugar free” “fat free” whatever. I
would rather eat simpler, regardless of the “number” associated with that
particular food.
Instead of counting calories, let’s
count ingredients.
If you can’t pronounce it there’s a
good chance it has no business going through your digestive tract.
We’re not really conscious about
what is going into our bodies. And in the end you may look cute in a bikini,
but your food might as well be straight out of a test tube.
Unfortunately It’s pretty much
impossible to cut out all processed foods. And there’s no need to drive
yourself crazy doing so. But give some thought to what goes into your body.
Next time you reach for a “low fat”
“fat free” “sugar free” option, check to see what you’re getting instead. Is it
really worth it?
