Diets don't work, healthy does!

"Eat real food, not too much. Mostly Greens" -Michael Polland, Author of Omnivores Dilemma

Everyday we are bombarded with products, plans, and pills that are suppose to make us thinner and happier. The truth is there is no magic pill or packaged meal that will make you a better you.

I am a firm believer that if you are dieting to lose weight it won't happen. You must commit to being healthy and the rest will follow. Women tend to put so much pressure on that number on the scale when really weight has little to do with health. Some people notice that with regular exercise they may even gain weight due to the increase in muscle mass. So what should we focus on? Focus needs to be turned to what we are putting in to our bodies and getting regular exercise. This may sound simple, but in this day and age people rarely weigh the repercussions of the processed foods we eat. The modern food is so complex and processed. It is hard to even call it food; more like a science project. Even "health" food doesn't resemble food.

I am challenging you to get back to the basics! Roll up those sleeves and get in the kitchen... There is nothing better you can do for your health then instilling whole foods into your diet. I am not asking you to become a raw vegan. Vegetables and fruits have lost there place in daily meals. Obesity and diabetes are on the rise, the food processed and eaten in America is much to blame. Food is a choice, no one forces you to eat fast food or packaged food. It is true that these food are cheaper and more accessible than any other type in America. Healthy eating isn't convenient and won't come out of a drive-thru window. you will need the money you save from shopping off the Value menu, to pay for health care later.

So why not make the investment now, in your health and your future.
