BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU EAT.

In my constant search for ways to lose unwanted fat, I came across an article by someone who, like me, had an eye opener about the things we consume on a daily basis.
HE WRITES:-

I like to eat! A lot! I mean that in both possible ways you could interpret it. There are few things I enjoy more than eating, but not many. And, if I am not careful,I can easily find myself eating larger quantities than necessary.

My love of food started in my youth. I grew up on a farm. As a kid I worked hard. I burned a lot of calories. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were important events every day. Oatmeal cereal with applesauce and brown sugar! Meat and potatoes! Peanut butter and jam sandwiches! Chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles! And milk! Lots of milk. Since it was my job to milk the cow I figure I should enjoy the fruit of my labor. At least a gallon of milk per day for just me was the norm. And since it was straight from the cow, it was the real thing! Not low fat milk. Not skim milk. Not whole milk. Not 1% or 2% milk. Just real whole milk like nature intended it.

I know now that a gallon of whole milk contains 2,400 calories, but that did not matter back when I was a strapping farm kid, burning over 4,000 calories per day. But now, I burn only 2,300 calories per day at my "wussy" office job and the eating habits I formed as a young man could shorten my life dramatically. Obesity contributes to heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, hypertension and cancer. It shortens our lives and raises havoc with the lifestyles and esteem of millions of people.

Obesity is heritable. That's bad news for me since my mother was overweight and I have three aunts who all weighed over 300 pounds. (They were all under 5ft 4ins tall) They all struggled with diabetes and they all died young.

So my love of food can cause serious problems for me. I need to be forever conscious about my caloric intake. But this challenge is not unique to me. Millions of people are overweight and a large percentage of them are considered obese.

The diet industry raked in $46 billion last year in the United States alone. Unfortunately, dieting does not work! It never has. That's why the diet industry is such a financial boom. The financial analysts know people will keep trying. They jump from one diet to the other. Their lives turn into yo-yos of weight loss, weight gain, weight loss and finally weight gain again, with each period of weight gain peaking a little higher than the previous peak. Dieting is never the solution.

Folks, this article moved me. It brought to light what we have all heard from time to time, so I had to share it with you. I would encourage everyone to take a look at the program put forward in the Truth About Six-Pack Abs, like I did, and see if you can benefit from the information there. Read the free stuff, get the ebook if necessary, and start changing your life forever.
