Here we are, not quite the way we would like to be, but all of a sudden we find ourselves overweight, perhaps with secondary effects due to the extra weight, not quite sure what to do next, which diet to start and wondering how we got here.
The answer probably lies in the kind of foods we have been consuming for most of our lives and since we live in a country of plenty, what we consume comes in portions that could feed two people at once, but because it's in front of us, we feel compelled to eat it all by ourselves.
Our cups have gone from eight ounces to 32 ounces; our dishes have grown from 12 inches to 14 inches or more. A hamburger has gone from one patty to up to four patties, plus lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, ketchup, cheese AND bread, but what is most striking, is watching some people stuffing all of the above in one bite! Did you ever hear the saying "We Eat to Live, We don't Live to Eat" although to see ourselves eating, we could fool anyone.
Have you ever wondered what your blood density would look like after ingesting something like that? Have you wondered what all that fat does to our arteries? To our poor hearts? Is it a wonder that every 34 seconds a person in the US dies of heart problems, and every 20 seconds a person in the US has a heart attack. I could continue to give you endless statistics, but you get what I am trying to show you.
Time for a curtain call! If what we have done so far has not worked, then it's time for a change of venue.
We need to start by charting ourselves a plan:
No more fast food, saturated fats, excessive salt, processed meats! Do you consider that a punishment? Think positive, think of you as turning the corner into great health!
Neal Barnard, MD, President, Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, Washington, DC and author of Eat Right, Live Longer suggests that "total vegetarian diets are best at successfully modifying eating habits in a way that produces lasting results".
Our former President of the US, Mr. Bill Clinton when faced with a serious heart problem, decided to turn vegetarian and you can tell how well he is feeling and looks.
It sounds like it's really a tremendous effort, but it's really very simple. Vegetarians learn not to eat red meat, poultry, fish (anything with a face) or dairy products. It is also very low in fat content. It is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits and grains in order to maintain a normal energy level.
If you are eating the proper foods which supply you with the necessary nutrients your body needs, you will increase your energy level, otherwise take a multiple vitamin; consult your physician or pharmacist as to which one is best for you.
Give it a shot, the results may surprise you!
Here is to our good health!
