I want to start this article by saying when you eat good food you get a good body. When you eat junk food, you get a junk body.
That's easy science.
Nonetheless, we have food fixed near our hearts and mind. To every single living creature on our planet food is the ultimate high.
You, as a smart Homo sapien use food to make you look salubrious, trim, more seduce-able, and just plain healthy.
But other so-called intelligence Homo sapiens can use it to turn himself into a grizzly overweight, puffed up, spongy human marshmallow.
That's because psychologically, food directly influences how you feel on any given day, and your mood inadvertently affects others…in a negative or positive way.
Poor nutrition and lack of fitness has consequences exceeding beyond just making you look bad. And those consequences are visible in the emotional level…and are super scary.
It will scare you too. But I'll talk about them anyway.
Say, is it possible to tell if you or someone you love may be showing emotional signs of poor diet and lack of exercise?
Consider the following symptoms that can be attributed to poor nutrition:
- Stress at work, home and even at play.
- More people cracking or breakdown mentally, than ever before.
- The staggering increase of murder, suicide, road rage, family abuse, drug abuse, unhappiness, and much more.
“If you can spot a person showing some of the tendencies above, you may trace the problem back to poor nutrition and lack of fitness.” Studies show that a poor diet creates Biological Discontentment in the individual.
In turn Biological Discontentment may lead to talk of suicide and even homicide. Other unexpressed feelings include self-mutilation, depression and self-hatred, even premature death.
There are hundred ways food cements or modifies ones behavior. The trick is to spot someone showing these signs and stop them before they snap. And there hundred more ways you can use food to encourage or disrupt the behavior of someone you love or hate.
But if one of your objectives in life is to continue living you must use food as nature's prescribed energy pill you ingest daily.
To the body, food is a metabolic aphrodisiac that deeply agitates its entire chemistry and functioning, just as it helps fan the flame of the emotional chemistry your body provokes on others.
But for now, I want to talk mainly of how food impacts and changes your insulin level. Here I have to pre-empt our discussion on this matter with the following: Food is the religion of the universe, and definitely humanity's absolute opium.
To consume it the smart way, you must eat at least five to six meals a day so it release naturally regulated amounts of insulin.
You do that by consuming meals in portions no bigger that you fist size. And portions that consist of egg whites, cottage cheese, whole grains, oatmeal, vegetables, full grain rice, sweet potatoes, chicken breasts, fish, fruits, nuts-and-more chicken breasts.
But hey! Is eating not an instinctive impulse? And isn't true we already by nature eat what is right for us? And is it not also true what the "authorities" on nutrition tell us anyway?
Some health and fitness advisers speak with such authority it seem they have all the answers. I am astonished how three advisers treating the same statistics on obesity for example will come with three startling different views.
I wonder why it is so when they speak, their opinions disagree so far and wide. With such Brobdingnagian army of experts, why is obesity-and the totally unnecessary health problems -not to mention hardship and worry they bring-getting worse?
While the experts swim in the vast ocean of diet books and deep seas of theories and profit from the endless confusions, we see obesity and its related health problems continue to explode.
You and I are left with the side effect of their poor understand and appreciation of the problem surrounding nutrition and lack of exercise.
That's why I want you to become aware that if you hope to start on the road of total dietary transformation, you'll need to delete from your mental hard drive everything you heard about exercise and nutrition.
You'll HAVE to do away with all fictions most people assume as facts.
To begin winning the weight loss battle you first need to understand the real cause of obesity. And that is overeating.
It makes no difference whether you eat healthy foods or junk food: overeating will always make you fat. Of course, you stand a better chance with healthy foods than with junk food. But both eaten in excess will make you fat.
But just understanding that the real cause of overeating stems from the evolutionary signals our body still receives from the bygone ages - signals that tell our bodies to believe a potential famine is underway- you've already won half the battle.
