There's No Magic Pill For Weight Loss

 Everyone looks for the easy way to do everything. We look for the App to change the stations on the TV, we look for the App to open the garage door, the App to do our Taxes, but for losing weight there’s no easy way. Did you ever do a search: “lose weight” and see all the different websites that have the answer for quick or fast weight loss. Just buy this or eat this or take these pills and the weight will melt away. It won’t happen and if you lose weight it usually comes right back.

I lost weight by changing my diet and I never went back. And if I’m on vacation or go to a family gathering and I do slip up and eat something that’s fattening, if I go right back to my meal plan the next day, any extra fat you added will disappear fast. When I changed my diet and started to eat fresh, mostly vegetables and some fruit, eating more nuts and not eating that food I used to eat, the food that put the weight on in the first place, I got my system back to normal. I didn’t realize what was happening but after my body returned to normal, I felt better, I felt more alive and I had more energy. I’m not a vegetarian, I do eat meat, but I stick to white meat chicken or tuna or wild salmon.

My trick to losing weight is to eat as little animal fat as possible. White meat chicken has some yellow fat on the outside of the meat and it’s easy to remove, so you are eating meat that’s 99% fat-free. Fat on a fish is almost the same, the fat lays outside the meat under the skin. The advantage to eating fish is you get the nutrients from the Omega-3 fatty oil in the fish. Salmon and tuna are rich in Omega-3. Other seafood has fish oil and minerals but for my money, I’ll buy wild salmon and tuna. I think you get more nutrients for your money. Red meat and even pork has animal fat marbled through the meat. Some red meat is leaner than others but all animal meat contains animal fat. It’s a good source of protein but you can’t avoid the animal fat and that’s the part your system doesn’t process very well and will turn most of it into Body fat and store it.

Yes, humans have always eaten animal meat, but throughout history, man has never had a very long lifespan, unless you look back thousands of years when humans began farming and fishing.  On average, we probably live fewer years today than humans lived in pre-historic times, but having said that, science has no idea how long humans could live if we could eliminate disease and illness.

Now we know that science can’t remove all disease and illness in the next century, but we can change our diet and become healthier and whether science knows that or not eating healthy is the answer to longevity. That and exercise for your body and your mind will definitely keep you fit and active for many years to come.

It would be nice to avoid all those health problems our grandparents had. And by eating healthy I know I’m going to live a better, longer life.

Recently science believes that human did live to an average age of 150 and some lived to 180 or more. We shorten our own lives by the foods we eat, the air we breath, and the drinks we consume. Excess body fat is another way we shorten our lives.
