Obviously America and much of the World is consuming more calories than they burn. WHY?<br /> <br /> Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance. Our body weight tends to remain the same when the number of calories you consume is equal to the amount your body burns. Obviously America and much of the World is consuming more calories than they burn. WHY? MEGA FOOD PROCESSORS and THE SLICK ADVERTISING AGENCIES THEY HIRE! They don't care about your Health and they certainly don't understand, Truth In Advertising, it's just words. The average Supermarket has 55,000 products on their shelves. The food is neatly packaged with eye-popping graphics, containing trigger words such as: Low Fat, Fat Free , Sugar Free, Powerful Antioxidants and on and on it goes. The average consumer spends 22 minutes in the store twice a week. You are trying to eat healthy but you get home confused. A friend of mine recently purchased some sausage patties for his 4 year old daughter. His wife who is trying to get her family to eat healthy, read the ingredients (24 of them) and threw it out. Once she left the room he asked me "Is my wife becoming a fanatic"? I assured him she was not. You see eating healthy is a process. You have to look at it as a Lifestyle Change and not a Weight Loss program.<br /> <br /> Start with seeing a rainbow on your plate. Fruits and vegetables of different colors such as green beans, asparagus, raspberries, and strawberries. Then include a lean serving of meat, poultry, or fish and a slice of whole grain bread. Drop the soft drinks you and your family don't need them (too much sugar). Instead drink water, strive for 10 glasses a day. Integrate this type of eating into your life everyday and you have made a lifestyle change. You will feel the energy return.<br /> <br /> Go for a swim together. Take up golf or tennis. It's not only fun but you and the family are exercising. You're all together. having fun and communicating. Wow, that's a Win...Win!<br /> <br /> Resources: Fresh look at cool foods: Exploring Myths and Trends of Frozen Foods; National Diabetic Information Clearinghouse, "What I need to know about eating and diabetes".<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Jonathan Turk has been involved in health and wellness studies for more than 30 years.
