People push diet pills, exercise equipment, diet plans, and on on on, but really when you get down to it, besides just plain old exercise, the most important key to losing weight is controlling what you put in your mouth and these days folks are having a really hard time with that thanks to one culprit, high fructose corn syrup.
Sure people are less active these days. That’s one big element, but the biggest problem I truly believe is high fructose corn syrup. Studies have been done to suggest it causes us to eat without filling completely full. You just want more and more food like a cigerette addict. I can tell you that as a long time avid weight lifter no matter what I did I couldn’t lose any fat till I took action on eliminating every food or drink with high fructose corn syrup from my diet. That really cut out a lot of stuff, but on the positive sign it made me go to basic healthy foods that I should have been eating all along.
These days I’ve found I can indeed tolerate healthy foods like avacodoes, brocoli, carrots, apples, bananas, unprocessed meats, etc. I’m not really missing all that junk food I used to eat anymore. Why? Because I’m not addicted to it anymore, I believe. I lost 10 pounds or more in a few months.
HFC is cheap so don’t expect the food industry to voluntarily start removing it from their foods any time soon.
The best way I’ve found to really deal with it is a zero tolerance policy. The good news is it allows you to eat as much as you want to at a much greater degree when you get rid of it, because you fill satisfied faster.
Try taking it out of your diet for a while. You certainly have nothing to lose except weight. Look on the backs of every can, box, or bag, and read very carefully. The safest way is just eat only natural products. Stay away from processed foods. Oh, and do exercise of course. A body that doesn’t exercise is like a car that sits in the yard for 10 years. The tires rot, the paint job fades, the belts rot, etc so don’t be an old car. Get up and move and fill your tank with the good stuff.
