Can Food be really responsible of the obesity epedimic
By Robert | July 17, 2009
As North Americans and other Western European countries continue to struggle with the epidemic of obesity, we must ask ourselves one very important question.
Why is 64% of our population obese or overweight? The answer can be resumed in a 4 letter word :food. In North America we have a lifestyle of eating quickly and a lot. But we have also a tradition of eating foods with poor nutritional value, and as long as it tastes great that’s what counts.
We have unfortunately left control of our food industry to the hands of lobbies. Lobbies for the promotion of sugar and other substitutes, Lobbies for the freedom of eating what we want, payed by fast food companies to promote their industry. all the lobbies of the meat industry…
They all encourage the food processing industry to add more and more calories under the cover of marketing strategies such as low fat, low sugar, low salt, cholesterol free…
These days everybody is buying low fat products ,low sugar products, low sodium products, low cholesterol..products. But people are still gaining weight . This really seems to make no sense. But it actually does.
By eating more of these low fat or fat free foods that are artificially tasty, you’re actually eating 30 % more calories than you should and more than eating full fat foods! Wow. But eating full fat foods is not good either so we are caught in the vicious circle of the food industry. The key is to keep all of your health decisions in your hands.
Learning all about what’s in the food you eat and what is a good source of fat, the amount of good calories you need daily is part of a sensible eating habit. Do you know how much sugar you eat daily? And what about the lipids. The bad one the good ones? Can you reduce your daily intake of carbs?
No more bread ,pastas, fries. You could do it for a while but how long. But can you sustain that type of dieting and calorie checking all the time? That’s the ultimate question. If you are discipline enough maybe, but most of us aren’t. It is for these reasons that many of us are overweight or obese. You should remember that most fat cells accumulate because we eat more calories than we burn. and difficult to eliminate because of the type of lifestyle we have in the 21 th century.
Our Body is an incredible complex machine.Each time we eat fat sugar and starch anything over our immediate needs will generate extra calories that will be eventually transform into fat.
You see, we’re still programmed with our caveman genes – when food was scarce and building fat reserves was the only way for surviving the lean times.
Today, food isn’t scarce…The opposite is also true. But our body often reacts like it hasn’t received food for weeks. What was good for our ice-age relatives is now a huge problem for most of us.
So simply put, we gain weight because our fat stores are simply overwhelmed, packing up far too many fat molecules for what is immediately needed.
The result is an accumulation of fat all over the body.
That’s why if you are serious about losing weight you should not only count on dieting and also explore the market of diet pills. Even if there is alot of poor products in the diet pill industry their still are a few shinning stars that can be considered as reliableweight management product.
