-100 pounds of refined sugar

-10 pounds of potato chips
-63 dozen donuts
-20 gallons of ice cream
I wonder if this could be a HUGE reason why 30+% of us are obese?
We're supposed to have the best healthcare system in the world, with technological advancements all around us, and yet we're seemingly in worse shape than we were just 30 years ago and healthcare costs are still sky rocketing.
If you haven't picked up a copy of Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food: An Eaters Manifesto", may I humbly suggest doing so today. It could change your life.
And if you're serious about finally getting into shape, here's a few things you can do:
- Stop eating junk and start eating "real" food. Here's a good rule of thumb - if what you're considering eating has been altered in any way from its original form (in other words "processed"), don't eat it. Find the more natural form.
- Eat smaller portions more frequently. This helps to regulate insulin and control the hunger response.
- Lift weights. Heavy and with intensity. Fear not ladies, you will not "bulk up", unless you ignore rules #1 & 2.
- Stop doing aerobics and cardio. Useless, if your goal is to lose body fat. If you wanna know why, e-mail me and I'll tell you.
- Find a partner, or several to train with. This is one of the key components of my Firestorm Fitness Systems Fat Burning Fit Camps.
God bless,
