DIETING IS COMPLICATED
Overeating has become
a world-wide epidemic and to be quite frank - the medical profession is at a
loss of how to get things under control in this area. With other 'substance
abuses' people can be isolated from the temptation and treated. With food, it's
a constant temptation. We must eat to live.
It is very frustrating
that our schools teach everything from history to algebra, yet fail miserably
in educating our youth on the most important element of their life - health/calories/body
nutritional breakdown.
What good is knowledge if there is no life?
Our kids need to
be taught at a very young age about the amount of food their bodies need to
function. What we are seeing are kids who fall easily into eating disorders
because they have no idea how to lose weight in a healthy manner.
And
many of the kids seeking diet avenues aren't even in need of losing weight!
With all this said,
it's time to get Diet Smart! If you find that you have gained weight one
of the chief reasons may be because you are unaware of how many calories you
are taking in per day.
Does fat grams count?
Oh yes - in the big scheme of things. But back to basics.... To
put dieting in simple terms, calories are what shapes and molds our hineys.
Learn to count your calories and everything else will fall into place.
Most foods high
in carbs and high in fat contain a fair amount of calories. If you reign
in your calories, this will overshadow the unhealthier foods in your diet.
So limit your calories
- but don't ever set limitations on your avenues to success!
