I've been doing more reading than usual during my travels these last few weeks and I am increasingly confused/concerned/annoyed at how hung up our society is on finding the quick, little miracle that will get their bodies back to where they want them to be. People will spend lots of money on fatty fried foods and sugary treats and then turn around and spend even more money on ridiculous diet pills to compensate! There isn't any real proof that these pills even work! More importantly, there aren't any studies to show that suplements won't harm your body...your precious body. All of these cheimcals can be big contributors to serious health problems; the truth is that we just don't know what they will lead to. Ever hear about the seemingly healthy person who suddenly gets hit with a "random" disease or disorder? Maybe that disorder is due to years of excess caffiene, sugar, soda, hydorgenated oils or diet pills. Why would you spend your hard earned cash on an expensive pill that could possibly help your weight but also could damage your health? If I spend my money, I want a sure thing and I want to be around long enough to enjoy it's benefits.
My "diet pill" is a sure thing: fruits and veggies. Stop rolling your eyes and listen. It sounds so simple that the public doesn't think it works. People want weight loss to be complicated and expensive but when we get down to it, eating healthy is pretty basic. And eating healthy on a consistent basis is a sure thing that works for everyone. Some bodies take longer than others but all bodies cooperate if you give them a chance. This is no diet and this is no crash-course-to-get-into-your-tiny-jeans-in-three-days. You know me better than that. This is the right way and that's why it takes time and diligence. Start today; your body is too important to wait until the weekend is over or until the first of the month. Start every snack/mealtime with a piece of produce. Follow it with some lean protein and whole grains. Finish it there. Don't dwell on whether or not today will be a healthy day. Keep it simple and keep it going.
