Dr. Oz Detox Shake that has Protein, Fruit and Spinach

Posted on July 23, 2013 by therapysoup

Time to Detox! Let’s get the vacation wheat remnants out of my body.

Dr. Oz’ Detox Shake:

Ingredients

1 cup frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
1 to 2 loosely-packed cups of spinach
2 cups coconut milk
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 heaping tbsp plant-based protein powder

Directions

Blend until smooth.

So, I just did it. Not hard. If you use fresh berries, I suggest you throw in a few ice cubes because it tastes really good icy and cold. This covered my fruit requirement for the day and helped fill in the gap for the protein hit, cutting down any hunger. I also feel it working its way through me to cleanse me, with about 10-12g of carbs due to the coconut milk and strawberries.

I Was On Vacation, But I Experimented With Wheat and Made a Discovery…

Posted on July 22, 2013 by therapysoup

Sorry for my absence, Skinny-Rules readers. I took a week off for my first vacation in years. In fact, it was my first vacation since I lost weight and my bathing suits (which are customized to my old body) looked ridiculous on me. I wore them and went to Arizona, hoping that the lady who made them would be there (Customized Swimsuits in Scottsdale), and sure enough–she was on vacation the SAME week as me. So, I still never got measured for a new suit. I am bummed. Off the shelf ones just don’t do it for me because I like a suit to fit a certain way and the suits now just don’t do it for me. I may have to go back soon to get this done!

However, it was nice to look decent in a suit for a change!

So, how did I manage my DIET LIFESTYLE on vacation for 6 days in a place that has the best Italian restaurant!? I gave up wheat as a choice to limit carbohydrates and because I felt that wheat was causing me stomach bloat and big fat wheat belly. So, I decided to experiment in Scottsdale a little bit.

1. I exercised every day! (One hour of elliptical and about 20 minutes of weights and Pilates)

2. We utilized the room’s fridge, and I went to the local Trader Joes and stocked up on:

Lite String Cheese

small bags of almonds

Peanut Butter Power Crunch bars

strawberries

Lite Greek Yogurt

almond butter

turkey slices

diet soft drinks and water

3. We ate breakfast at the Hotel Spa (breakfast package) and twice at local breakfast places. I completely recommend eating at the Breakfast Club in Scottsdale. So fun, nice and the food is amazing.

At breakfast: I had veggies, eggs, bacon, sometimes a little bit of fruit with GOBS of coffee, where I discovered the French Press (will blog about that soon).

4. Drank water all day long out in the sun, and brought snacks up to the pool and kept some in my locker. At snack times, we ate things like the almonds, the protein bars, or I brought with us strawberries and yogurt.

5. For lunch, we went out for a salad in the fridge from the night before, and put some turkey slices and/or cheese in the salad. Again, had one of our snacks later too and then went out to dinner.

6. For dinner, we went to my favorite Italian place, Oreganos. I couldn’t resist. I had not had regular pasta (except the low carb kind) in almost two years. I love this restaurant and their salads are great too. So, we shared a large salad and we either split a small pizza with veggies on it or a Garlic Chicken Lasagna. I did not eat the delicious looking garlic toast that came with it. I would not be surprised to find out that the half of a small pizza or half of the lasagna was minimally about 50g of carbs for me. I was careful the rest of the day and I did exercise my face off earlier, but I just knew that I was flirting with either putting on a pound or two on this trip or leaving about the same…but I took the chance and did it three days in a row. I even had a Carbolite-type desert as a sixth protein some days and on my last night, our meal was a salad with chicken and then we had the Pizzookie, which is a large melted chocolate chip cookie in a deep dish pizza pan, with vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips on top. It is decadent and I had not had one in 7 years.

I did enjoy my slight intentional derailment, although I tried to manage it with exercise and eating right the rest of the entire day and drinking tons of water and coffee. But, I do think that I was right about how bad sugar and wheat is for my body (and everyone’s). I went into this trip with a flat belly. I do Pilates 4 days a week, I do yoga two times a week and I am on the elliptical around 4-5 hours a week. My BMI is 20, so this is what my belly looked like by night 3 (and I only gained one pound on this trip and lost it as soon as I cleansed the day after I got home)…..

this is what my belly swelled to and took 24 hours or more to go down, until it got wheat again….

this was what I looked like before I digested wheat products!

I am happy to say that I look more like picture number two now, but mostly because it was a temporary eating thing….but this is exactly why I am now staying away from wheat products until maybe I go to Arizona, once in a blue moon. If it makes my bowels distend like that, what else is it doing to my body? (Number two became very irregular, and that also was painful).

So, I am back to my new normal of 6 proteins a day, two salads a day, two servings of fruits a day, four servings of veggies a day. My body is thanking me and I have more energy too and the weight is stabilizing.

Low Carb/High Protein Snacks (in between your daily three meals)

Posted on July 14, 2013 by therapysoup

You should be eating breakfast, lunch, dinner–all low carb/high protein. However, you are supposed to eat every 3-4 hours, so you need a snack before lunch, before dinner and after dinner…..6 protein meals in all for the day. What could you have as a protein snack?

15 Protein Snack ideas:

1. Skim or low-fat cheese sticks or mini Baby Bells. No carbs and about 80 calories in one.

2. Hard-boiled egg. No carbs and about 70 calories in one.

3. Turkey slices. 4 ounces. About 2-4g carbs and about 140 calories.

4. A quarter cup of nuts. About 4-9g carbs. About 180-200 calories. (25 pistachios is about 100 calories)

5. Cottage Cheese with Nuts or Flaxseed. Cottage cheese is packed with energy-boosting lean protein. Sprinkle two tablespoons of ground flaxseed or one tablespoon of nuts on a half cup of fat-free or 1 percent reduced-fat cottage cheese for a nutritious, filling snack. 4-7g of carbs. 130-140 calories.

6. Two tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter (on celery or on a spoon). About 6g of carbs, 150 calories.

7. A cup of Edamame. About 12g of carbs. About 15o calories.

8. Veggies with Guacamole or Hummus
Guacamole and hummus (made from nutrient-rich, high-fiber chickpeas) both make great snacking dips. Try a quarter cup of either with sliced vegetables for your next mid-afternoon pick-me-up. 13g of carbs, 120-150 calories.

9. Sunflower seeds, half a cup of shelled ones— is a good snack-sized portion. 4g of carbs, 120 calories.

10. Sliced cucumbers, baby carrots, or pepper strips and pair with a half cup of nonfat or low-fat cottage cheese. 10g of carbs (the veggies mostly) and 110 calories.

11. Sliced small apple and topping it with a level tablespoon of natural peanut butter. 22g of carbs (the peanut butter is 3g per tablespoon..it is the apple that carries the carbs here. 166 calories.

12. Six-ounce container of calcium-rich non-fat plain or artificially sweetened yogurt with two tablespoons of ground flaxseed . For added variety, swap the flaxseed for 1 tablespoon chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts. Greek Yogurt (depending on the brand, has less carbs–like Dannon Lite and Fit GREEK. 150 calories, 20 g carbohydrates. And most PLAIN Greek Yogurts are very low in carbs.

13. Sugar-free ice popsicles. 4g of carbs, 15 calories.

14. Sugar-free baked items. Examples: http://www.joybauer.com/healthy-recipes/chocolate-angel-food-cake.aspx, http://www.joybauer.com/healthy-recipes/sour-cream-coffee-cake-with-cinnamon-and-walnuts.aspx and http://www.joybauer.com/healthy-recipes/chocolatehazelnut-biscotti.aspx and my recipe https://skinny-rules.com/2013/05/28/you-can-have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too/

15. Smart Carb frozen dessert (ice cream)

“I don’t have time to exercise!”

Posted on July 12, 2013 by therapysoup

How many times have I heard that excuse? I used to use it myself. But, at some point, i decided that i had to take care of my body. wherever i went, my body had to take me there. not finding the strength to fight fatigue and pain only made my health conditions worse, which led to a decay of my physical body, my spirit, my home and my relationships. putting out the energy helps your body to make more, better energy.

Also, if you wind up with the consequences of being heavy, that will make your life even more difficult, so exercise is a preventative measure. How do you think you would do with diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gastric heartburn, clogged arteries, a stroke, death? Fix yourself before you can’t? If only James Gandolfini (Sopranos) took his weight and being out of shape more seriously. RIP.

Starting is the hard part, so you need to start slow and easy. Don’t overdo it and then hate it. Just 15 minutes a day is a great start. it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I started with light stretching and yoga once a week, then twice a week, then added in a little walking the dogs daily, then added in Pilates too and after a few years, I was walking on an elliptical and doing Pilates and yoga. Now, I try to walk an hour on the elliptical at least 4 days a week and I am writing my blog on the elliptical right now.

I had to schedule exercise in just like a J-O-B and make it a part of my daily tasks…because if you don’t, the reverberation effect of that is that you will start to feel like is crap (and l started to look like crap too).

I have seen men (visual creatures) not attracted to their wives anymore when they get too big (and vice versa on the genders), despite the fact that the woman usually got bigger taking eating junk shortcuts throughout the day, quick snacks and not exercising….and doing too much around the house and for the kids– FOR the man.

It doesn’t matter, no matter how you cut it, exercise is a natural need for humans and it is better for your psyche, mental health, physical health and your self-esteem to exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Diet is important, as I write about how to do it almost every blog.

But today, we will go over ways to find 10 ways to find time to exercise:

1. Log off of Facebook. Get in and out. Don’t spend all day in there and don’t play those addictive games. You need to move! Just 15 minutes of weight-bearing exercises, walking around the house or in the yard, or doing an exercise DVD–just 15 minutes a day adds up to 7 hours a month. Set a timer because the Internet can suck hours out of your day before you know it.

(I use my IPad on my elliptical and therefore, I get an hour of walking in and that is when I do all of my email and Facebook stuff!–even Words with Friends. I stop at that game though, no time. I choose real Pilates over Candy Crush.)

2. Learn to JUST SAY NO! Seriously, stop doing so much. Someone wants you to drive them somewhere or needs to bend your bear over their relationship that they have discussed with you over and over and over again–STOP wasting precious ME time on that. Schedule your exercise if you have to and tell everyone, don’t bug me between 7 and 7:15 or more because I am tied up at that time. Put yourself first, because no one else will do it! Some of the NICEST people I know are the biggest and most out of shape because they are TOO nice and hardly ever put themselves first!

3. Number 2 leads to –PLAN OUT your day. Make your plans of what you will do for the day and make exercise part of the daily time schedule. Maybe doing it early helps, or maybe late after the kids have gotten home and your spouse is there to help. If you like to socialize. Instead of meeting a friend for lunch, meet them for a walk. Whatever works for you. I have all exercise planned on my Google calendar. Put it down on a calendar and therefore, you will feel more compelled to do it.

4. Record TV shows and watch with the commercials zoomed out and save time. Also, condense…..if you are watching more TV than you have time for and you find you can’t exercise, you are not taking care of yourself. You are being sucked into the tube. Sometimes, I exercise in front of my shows–then I feel like I kill two birds with one stone.

5. Don’t waste time on hobbies and unimportant projects to distract you until your home chores, time with family and your exercise are done. Exercise first and if there is time left over, then organize your wrapping paper or whatever it is you think you have to do. Chances are that if you exercise first, you will have more energy later to organize things. Many people think that they will be too wiped out after a workout. That lasts a short time, but the endorphins actually rev you up. I get more done after I have worked out than without working out.

6. Don’t be a perfectionist. You don’t have to have your house perfect or your workout perfect to out in -15 minutes a day. Even 15 minutes of light vacuuming can burn 50 to 100 calories, so for heaven’s sake…move your body. Challenge yourself and get a pedometer for a few bucks, put it on you and try to get in around 12,000 steps a day. If you only get 8,000–that is fine, just get started.

Exercise is a journey, it is the experience of doing it, not the destination that you should focus on!

The first thing people ever see is you (YOUR PHYSICAL BODY). Most people will not even see the inside of your house, so what is the urgency to make IT look perfect and not have time for doing the same to your body!?

7. You have too much housekeeping to do because you are a working mom? I hear that all of the time, but if you have money to go out to eat or drink, or have new cars or toys, then you need to budget it out to have a cleaning service come to your house at least twice a month and remove that burden of deep cleaning. You will gain 2 weeks worth of 15 minutes of exercise a day for not having to clean your tubs, toilets or sinks!

If you are super broke, then you need to ask for help. Tell your husband or wife that you need to work out and you need their help. Give your kids chores. I see way too many kids not doing anything, which will then lead to their laziness and weight gain too. Tell everyone, let’s all clean 15 minutes a day together. More will get done fast and you can all burn calories and fat. Four people at 15 minutes of clean up after dinner a day, five days a week equals 5 hours of cleaning the house each week.

8. Be more organized and find a place for everything so you don’t waste precious exercise time constantly looking for things that are misplaced. This also feels better mentally too.

9. Get up 15 minutes earlier to exercise.

10. Set out your workout clothes the night before to be ready and give you motivation to workout.

And say what you will, but nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels…but also, if you show love to yourself, it shows on the outside and your partner also sees it in more than a physical level. It shows up mentally and spiritually too. There is nothing sexy about a clean house, dinner on the table and a wife who has let herself go for those things to look good. So do average on the home and take that time for yourself physically. Because no one cares what level you are at on Candy Crush or WWF(are you addicted?) But, you won’t like clothes shopping or bikini season, when the time comes.

You Might Be Fat Because of Label and Size Trickery

Posted on July 8, 2013 by therapysoup

I have written before about portion control. It is important to know that since the 1950s, people have been doubling in size, but that is because portions have doubled in size.

And the food industry does a great job of hiding facts and they have been tricking you into eating TOO MUCH FOOD!

I had a client come to my office with a 15 ounce large bottle of Green Machine Naked Juice (GMO fruits, company owned by Pepsi) and he attempted to drink the entire thing himself. The bottle had at least 5 or 6 small servings for a family at breakfast and because it was in a bottle, he thought he should drink it himself. You have to be careful reading labels. This is what the label says:

1 cup is almost 30g of sugar (almost 8 sugar cubes) and almost 35g of carbs. No wonder diabetes is on the rise.

Stick to cup-sized portions. Get out a measuring cup and get accustomed to the size of it.

HERE IS THE TRICKERY!

So, do you know how much is in a cup? Most people don’t. A cup is 8 ounces. How many ounces are in the bottle? 15 ounces!!!!!!!!!!!! (some of the other Naked Juice drinks are even worse!)

So, if you DOUBLE the amount of nutritional information if you DRINK THE WHOLE THING, then you will realize that you are actually drinking almost 60g of sugar (about 16 sugar cubes) and almost 70g of carbs–about as much as you want for the whole day if you don’t want to maintain or lose weight.

I have seen many people drink these whole bottles as one meal. You need to look at your labels! You could have had a whole plate of spaghetti and meatballs instead and liked it better!

The standard serving for soft drinks is one cup – 8 fluid ounces. But most cans sold in vending machines are 12 ounces. Bottles drinks often come in 20 ounce portions, all for consumption by a single person. That is just way too much in one go. We are eating too much, drinking too much.

At Starbucks, the portion sizes are not only skewed to large, the names are confusing as well: Tall (12 ounces), Grande (16), and Venti (24).

It gets even harder to order the smaller options when you do the financial calculation – the larger portion almost always is cheaper per ounce than the smaller one.

What to do when you’re eating out?

only eat 4 ounces of meat (a palm-sized amount), a cup of vegetables, small salad size.
Ask for a take-out container and put your food in there even before you start to eat so you won’t be tempted to keep eating.
ask your server / waiter what the portion size is for the dish you are ordering
order the smaller option (including kid sized portions, which are the right size for an adult in the first place)
share your dish with your dining partner
drink water – no serving size limit!
I don’t do pasta, but if you do, remember what a cup looks like! (and it is about 43g of carbs! That is a lot and it is just a cup!

PREPARE Your Daily Protein: For Weight Loss and Reduce Cravings

Posted on July 6, 2013 by therapysoup

During the day at home or at the office, you might find yourself getting hungry. You are supposed to eat breakfast, (about 3-4 hours apart from your meals)lunch and dinner, but you are supposed to have three healthy snacks in-between and after dinner (about 3-4 hours apart from your meals). SIX PROTEIN MEALS IN ALL PER DAY!

Healthy protein snacks/meals can help normalize your blood-sugar levels at crucial points in the day. If you reduce swings in blood sugar, it helps to curb cravings and keep you on a successful weight-loss track.

I try to keep between 50-100g of carbs a day to lose/maintain weight. Most meats and cheeses have barely one carb in them. Nuts, Greek Yogurt and protein bars too have carbs. Look at labels….

10 Suggestions for protein snacks

Raw veggies, such as celery, green or red bell pepper strips, cauliflower, and broccoli florets. Use hummus or 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter for dipping (2 tablespoons).
Lean, reduced-sodium deli meats (turkey or chicken breast, roast beef, boiled ham), about 4 ounces.
Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks (no more than 2 sticks or low-fat mini Baby Bells).
Nuts (15 almonds, 20 peanuts, or 30 pistachios, or about 1/4 cup of any nut, is a serving), but be sure to stick to one serving and count it toward your daily protein. OR Sunflower seeds (3-tablespoon serving; count these toward your daily protein.
Low-Carb Protein bars or drinks. Look at the labels. Try not to go higher than 20g of carbs.
Cottage cheese (1%, 2%, or fat-free varieties) with salsa, or one of your two small servings of your fruit for the day,or chopped cucumber added
Dry-roasted or boiled, ready-to-eat edamame (green soybeans) or a hard-boiled egg
Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat) (again you can add one of your two small servings of fruit
Low-sodium tomato juice or vegetable-juice blend, single-serving can for the day)
Water-packed light tuna or salmon (individual cans or pouches)

Do not eat on the run. Go shopping on the weekend if you are too busy and buy stuff for the week and put what you need for each day aside the night before and have it ready to go for the morning. You can have stuff to eat in the car if you have to do it that way, but PREPARE and don’t buy crap at drive-thru places, where you are likely to succumb to cravings or smells. Learn to do this daily and it will become habit, a way of life and you are more likely to get and stay skinny!

Sometimes You Will Miss Wheat, So Alternatives!

Posted on June 22, 2013 by therapysoup

I am off wheat products because of how badly the product is grown now and how it makes me gain weight and get a big belly (read the Wheatbelly by Dr. William Davis http://www.amazon.com/dp/1609611543.

But, I feel that I can have it once in awhile, but it has to be a low-carb version.

Here is a list of 10 food ideas that you can have once in awhile and know that you won’t be hurting your low-carb diet.

1. PANCAKES! You can go to Lindora.com and buy their mix, which is about 13g of carbs for a small stack and they taste great. Make sure you get lite syrup that has few carbs per tablespoon. Remember that Pancake Syrup is about 53 g of carbs per 4 tablespoons. I can get a quarter of a cup for 10g of carbs in my syrup. (See picture)

Also, there are mixes at Netrition.com:

http://www6.netrition.com/lc_foods_pancake_mix.html and http://www6.netrition.com/tova_carbquik_page.html (which can be used for waffles and pizza too)

I haven’t bought it yet, but if it is as good as their syrup, I am going to like it.

2. FlatOut Bread, with less than 10g net carbs per piece. Make wraps or pizza.

3. Western Bagel Perfect 10 Bagel (10g net carbs per bagel vs. over 35g for most bagels):

4. Netrition and other online sites have breads and pita breads that are low carb. Look at Netrition.com for choices. Also, there are some low-carb and diabetic sugar free places in different cities and states. Look them up online.

5. Almond Flour substitution in cakes like the one I blogged about. YUMMY.

6. Soy pasta noodles by Shirtaki. I have had them and they smell when you open, but after you microwave, DELISH!

But, Netrition.com and Lindora.com also sell low-carb pasta noodles for sphaghetti, lasagna, etc.

7. LOW carb protein bars. This one and Power Crunch are my favorites, although my sister in law likes the lower carb Kind bars.

8. There are lower carb small flat breads in the market for sandwiches, but watch the carb count on those. Remember, you want between 50 and 100g of carbs a day and no more, to lose weight. The closer to 50, the faster the weight falls off. However, the low-carb tortillas that I have bought at Costco and Trader Joes make a nice enchillada with turkey, cheese, tomatoes and sauce.

9. Cauliflower-based pizza crust pizza. So good, you won’t miss the wheat crust. SO low carb. I can eat the whole 9 inch pizza for about 10-15g of carbs vs. 30g per slice of a normal pizza.

10. My zucchini instead of pasta noodles lasagna. Delicious. However, if you really want to get LOW CARB pasta, you can get it online at places like Netrition.com or a low carb shop. If you eat the regular noodles, it is fattening! Too many carbs!

Healthy Weight Loss and Lifestyle Challenge

Posted on June 19, 2013 by therapysoup

Saw a healthy 3 week challenge online today and thought I would share it. It actually incorporates all that I do talk about on Skinny-Rules. It is low carb. Remember though, to eat your veggies, salads, proteins, fruits, nuts. Wheat bread, only once or twice a week at one slice each time.

The purpose of this challenge is supposed to help you learn a healthier lifestyle and get a jumpstart to weight loss. The creator of this challenge also suggests cutting out potatoes. (I do! Even sweet potatoes)

There are TWO exceptions to this challenge–
1. NO CHOCOLATE— you can make your OWN chocolates with cacao powder and stevia (or Truvia baking blend)– I am mainly wanting to break the cycle with store-bought, processed chocolate. If you make your OWN desserts from scratch, it is healthier. Dark cacao powder is actually proven to have some extra health benefits as well.

(I still have my chocolate or peanut butter Crunch Bars and I still like my Nature Valley Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Protein bars (dark chocolate is good for you, right?)

2. NO CHIPS— This means NO POTATO CHIPS. (That is a no duh! No potatoes)

(And I still am going to have my diet soda here and there. Sorry, gotta have something!)

3. Also, NO ALCOHOL– if you are trying to lose weight. The body will not break down fat when it is busy breaking down alcohol.

Here is the challenge:

So, you think you are up for it?

Sugar Cravings

Posted on June 16, 2013 by therapysoup

Getting off of grains, most fruits and sugar products is very hard. As you do it, your body and MIND have been trained to look for the “hit” at the pleasure point in your brain. In a way, you conditioned or brainwashed your brain to want and need the sugar, but over time, you can get over it. You allowed the foods that you were conditioned to eat do this to you and you have no idea that this was happening. You were conned into buying and eating those foods, without realizing how they would have control over you like an addict has no control over their need for their drug of choice. So, fight back.

How to get through the cravings.

Drink lots of sugar-free fluids.
Get enough lean protein and fiber. There have been studies. The people who eat more protein report feeling less hungry. When I am hungry, I get a protein bar, protein drink, some meat or a piece of cheese and it satisfies the cravings. The second thing that fills me up is fiber. That is in vegetables, but also in protein bars and protein drinks. A lot of people will eat cereal to fill them up and that has fiber, but it also is mostly carbs and not only will you gain weight or not lose any weight, but you will be hungry again very soon after and go through a sugar rollercoaster.
Eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. The more fruit and vegetables that are in the diet, the greater the weight loss and you are less likely to say that you feel hungry on any given day. Have you ever tried to eat a lot of vegetables? You get full fast, right? It is the fiber!

Studies have show that changing your habits to focus on protein, water and fiber-rich foods helps maintain weight loss for many years. I try to stay away from sugar. If it is natural and in my fruit, etc.–that is fine, but if you have a sugar product, your brain will want more. It is a lot of work fighting the pleasure center of your brain. Consider alternative products without a lot of sugar, corn-syrup, etc.

The Big Con: The Big Food Companies Duped You To Have A Weight Issue!

Posted on June 13, 2013 by therapysoup

Today, I was writing to a chat room about being addicted to sugar and how it is like being addicted to crack and some people got really defensive. But, seriously, it isn’t all our faults. We have been manipulated by food companies. Certain foods are engineered by their companies to make us eat more of them. They are designed to taste good and give us pleasure. The combination of sugar, salt and fat is done to maximize the impact that the foods have on our taste receptors and pathways to the brain.

There are many ways to make foods taste good and give us pleasure.

One of the best ways is to use a combination of sugar, salt and fat to maximize the impact these foods have on our taste receptors and reward pathways in the brain. And when you add artificial flavors and textures, the foods are hard to resist.

The food industry has learned through research what the public wants. It is their job to sell products and make money. They reward the pathways to our brain and they make us ADDICTED to these foods.

So, this is how you get repeat customers, but it destroys the health of those who eat these foods. So, you get addicted, you have the ability to an abundance of these foods and therefore, there is a huge obesity and diabetes epidemic happening. It is the reason people become addicted to these foods and literally can not stop eating even though they know the foods are causing them severe harm.

Here is a link to the story in NPR about it and the book that exposes the secrets.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/02/26/172969363/how-the-food-industry-manipulates-taste-buds-with-salt-sugar-fat

Do you like the fact that you were and are being manipulated for profit? Think about reading this book and work on your food issues as an addiction. It might make more sense this way for you when you change the way you eat.
