Desize Me

The world, his wife, or her partner, and the kids Are mostly upsized, overweight, bloated or even worse obese. Millions of scientists, doctors and nutrients can't figure out why Too many theories, too many claims and counter claims, conflicting. Finger of blame swings wildly around like roundabout in the park swinging in the wind Fat, carbs, protein, meat, dairy, fast food, you named it has been blamed. Diets galore, too many to mention, all tried in vain as more weight is gained. The equation is simple: Calories eaten in food versus calories burnt in activity. A Calorie excess means body stores fat, you get fat. A Calorie deficit, more burnt than eaten, means body burns fat and mass, and you lose weight. The sad fact is that modern Western food is far to rich. It is processed and enhanced to be bloated with sugar, fat, protein and calories. You and me get fat, even when we eat three 'normal' healthy meals a day. The food is too rich, the portions too large, so we each too much, even without eating fast foods and junk. Exercise helps, but what you put in your mouth matters most. The evidence out there is clear as a bell. The obesity epidemic started in the 1970's when the food processing revolution began. Primitive communities that adopt Western foods get fatter and fatter. The problem lies in the food we eat: We eat too much; and the food we eat is far too rich. The solution: Only eat the better half of each meal, eliminate processed foods, and fast for longer each day. Eat well, eat less, watch what you eat, enjoy the little you eat, enjoy fasting, and be more active.
