Throwing in the towel is to way to live. A decision like this can beat your self-esteem into the ground and shave years off of your life. You know you deserve better - let's do this thing
There’s no magic formula to losing weight . There are some foods that will kill all your efforts.
Just Say “No” to Prepared Foods
Processed foods are cheap, convenient and easy to prepare. Read the lable on the food packaging for a case of sticker shock. Billions are being spent every year to make tkese food look apealling. It's time to cut through the noise ad tell you the truth about these foods.
Let’s start with trans fat. Doctors will tell you that trans fat is a major contributor to heart and artery disease. You've heard that heart disease is the silent killer - don't let trans fats "sneak up" on you.
If you’re wondering where that spare tire came from, the high fructose corn syrup used in some of your favorite processed foods may be partially to blame. This ingredient has been getting a lot of press lately because it is believed to be a major player in the rising obesity epidemic.
Don’t even get me started on the synthetic material manufacturers use in processed foods. I challenge you to read the ingredients in a hostess Twinkie, case closed! Besides, you’d probably think I was reading the label on a can of hair spray instead of the ingredients in your favorite microwavable meal.
Did you know that the average person in the US consumed 150 lbs of suger in a year (much of it hidden in our processed foods). Let's join together to get processed sugar out of our lives. When you think about the fact that sugar is in almost everything, it’s easy to eat tons of this stuff without even realizing it. So, why should you care? You don't have enough time in the day for me to tell you about all the damage sugar can do to your health. However, I can give you a quick rundown.
Sugar contains nothing but empty calories. When you eat this stuff, a large portion of it gets stored in the body as fat. If your goal is to slim down, being heavy-handed with the sugar isn’t going to help. This is not even the worst of it. Sugar can also depress the immune system, feed cancer cells, contribute to heart disease, raise your risk of osteoporosis and make you look decrepit.
Give Artificial Sweeteners the Boot
Before you run out and stock your fridge with a bunch of those zero-calorie diet drinks, there’s something you should know. The artificial sweeteners used in diet drinks and other low-calorie products are lab-created. Yep. You heard me right – mixed up in a lab like something out of a Frankenstein movie.
These chemical sweeteners can cause or contribute to a laundry list of neuropsychiatric disorders and chronic illnesses – depression, anxiety, migraines, mood changes, panic attacks, vertigo, memory loss, Alzheimer’s, brain tumors – should I go on? And if you think you’re going to shed a few pounds using artificial sweeteners, think again. These sweeteners stimulate your appetite and make you eat more food.
When you’ve tried diet after diet and not one of them delivers results, it can certainly make you want to give up. But you owe it to yourself and to your family to live the healthiest life possible. Processed foods, sugar and artificial sweeteners are the main culprits of weight gain. When you eliminate these foods from your diet, you greatly improve your chance of losing weight.
We all have our "turn-ons" but one of them is not being overweight. I meet good people all the time who are a physical wreck because of failed rollercoaster diets Rather than risk failure one-more-time, some folks just give up.
Accepting that you'll always be unhappy is just not good enough for you. A decision to quit trying can rob you of many joyous moments. C’mon, you owe yourself and your loved ones so much more than this.
Losing weight is not rocket science, it small things done consistantly. There are certain foods that are deal breakers.
