Health,Not Diet!
>> Tuesday, May 11, 2010
I HATE the word diet! Did you ever notice that the first three letters says DIE..lol that's about the truth too. God did not intend for us to diet. He says "do all things in moderation" We all want the fast fix in life but that is not what happens in eating healthy.
We did our H3 class last night on nutrition. I have never seen so many women enlightened at one time.
The one thing I say to all you who read this is (learn) what nutrition is. We automatically think nutrition is NEVER getting to eat the foods we really enjoy! That is a misnomer.The truth is YES you can.
As a matter of fact it's the only way we should eat! There are so many fad diets that have hit our country that our metabolism is so messed up its no wonder we can't lose weight. Do you know DIET soda MAKES you fat??? Well..it does!
READ CLOSELY BELOW AN ARTICLE I FOUND..
"Diet coke might possibly be affecting your appetite. A recent study on the effects of artificial sweetener on mice showed that mice given artificial sweetener ate more food than those given just sugar.
This is because your body interprets something that's sweet as having a lot of calories, so it uses up a lot of calories in anticipation. Then when the body realizes the calories it thought it was getting were just artificial sweetener, you get hungrier."

The big news break is: Read labels..Do a BMI (Body Mass Index) on your height, weight) then: Get a plan of how many calories you can have per day. This should not be over whelming! You will be so surprised how much food you can have w/o feeling starved or deprived..REALLY! My last words to you are Alternative.. There is always an alternative to eating. Not going w/o. Going w/o tells your body you are in starvation mode. Eating is a wonderful way of life! More to come soon..
Bon Appétit'
