Weight Loss Foods: What the Diet Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know
So-called “weight loss foods” are a rip-off. Most supplements do nothing, or even more harm than excellent. How many times have these products been widely advertised and then yanked off the market? Not a wise use of your money.
“Hey, Jennifer, don’t sugarcoat it or anything”, you say. I know, no introduction, nothing, just ripped that band-aid RIGHT OFF.
I won’t name names but I can’t believe how some companies are able to sell—like crazy, no less, their prepackaged food-ish substances. These faceless corporations (yeah, I don’t care if the company name is that of a person, hint, hint) do NOT care about you. Or their spokesmodels, for that matter. Look at Kirstie Alley. She’s done SO well with it, and she’s getting paid, well, she was. In case you don’t read the headlines at the grocery store checkout, this is complete sarcasm, she’s gotten quite large again. Anyway, these huge companies care about profits. They know you are busy and desperate to lose weight. So they prey on people’s desires and sell crap that I, quite frankly, would not feed my dog. If you need part control, you can try this and it’s free: Just eat a handful.
Right weight loss foods are natural items that do not require any ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Spinach, berries, almonds, walnuts, seeds. Items like these are the ultimate in convenience, too, so I really don’t know why anyone would buy frozen dinners. Yuck. If they can’t even make it look excellent in the commercial, I shudder to reckon what it tastes like when you reheat it.
Really, the term “weight loss foods” is simply referring to eating healthy, in my opinion. Most healthy eaters I know have an attitude of balance about it. Balance is key. There’s no need to skip your own birthday cake, but if you eat sweets every time you go to a party, that can easily add up to a problem. Especially if you have small kids. My thinking on this is, unless I know it’s a really, REALLY excellent cake, there’s no sense in wasting those calories. Heck, if you know me at all, you know I’d rather spend my wasteful calories on wine. (: After all, we still must delight in life.
On a small side note: I can’t believe that incredibly intelligent, highly successful women (I’m talking about my clients) will fall for these appetite suppressants. From my personal experience, I eat more out of overindulgence than a feeling of hunger. Like today for lunch, as a perfect example, I made softshell tacos. (whole grain tortillas and ground turkey, of course!) I really could have eaten two. I didn’t need two. And half an hour later, I was very glad that I did not. But I certainly thought about it. And it was nothing to do with appetite.
Reckon about that. Because as I’ve mentioned before, I know moms (myself included) who clean leftovers off the kids’ plates by shoving them in their mouth. Needless calories that have no link to appetite.
Besides, your body is a complex creature. Your appetite is a very valuable communication of your body’s needs. You SHOULD eat if your body is saying you need food. Because otherwise your body swings into starvation mode and you are instantly storing whatever stout your body can grab. YIKES! Really the opposite of what you were going for! But that food can be a healthy choice. A weight loss food like an apple. No preparation needed. Add a handful of almonds and a huge glass of water and you just had one of those small healthy meals that people claim they don’t have time for. Bullocks. That takes ten minutes. You can do ten minutes.
