Putting an end to fast food and snacks in your diet
It’s
always easy to gain weight and damned hard to lose it. Eating is one of the
true pleasures in life and refraining from food has huge physical and
psychological implications that cannot be easily discarded. Nobody likes to
have to give up a pleasure, which is why many people drift farther and farther
into fat without doing anything to stop the process. Moreover, recent data
showed that the body does not respond to diets as doctors thought it should.
The body has to adapt to changes and diets are seen as lean periods that should
be offset by making fat harder to burn.
Another
problem for the body is the widespread use of fast food, snacks and soft
drinks. Fast food is highly powered food that fools the stomach into calling
for more, despite the fact that one giant burger is the caloric equivalent of
an entire meal. The giant burger is not usually enough to fill the stomach of
an adult person, so most people eat more than one and wash it down with soft
drinks that are little more than sugared water. This is an unfortunate way of
eating, since the body gets far more than it needs from burgers and soft
drinks. The largely sedentary lifestyles led by most urban residents mean that
the excess calories will certainly be stored as fat.
Snacks
are another threat to a healthy life by bringing in too much calories and by
being too readily available when hunger strikes. The correct option for between
meals snacks is to buy fruit. Sure, it may not taste as good, especially if one
is used to chips or other types of snacks, but one or two bananas or some
apples are far better for one’s health. A very important point is to remember
that habits can be kicked just as easily as they take root. By ignoring the
temptation of chips you will gradually lose interest in them and get used to
fruit.
