When Did We Start Rewarding Ourselves With Food

I think it all began for Americans after the Great Depression, we never had the large percentage of overweight people that we have today. After the Depression and during the Second World War, everyone had a job and people were making good money. The government started the boom by increasing the military and handing out government contracts to make things the military needed. Americans were making everything from battleships and airplanes to uniforms and helmets. We were at full employment for the first time in decades. People started to move off the farms to the cities for jobs.

This was the beginning of a real economic boom. Workers had the money to buy all those things they never had. Single-family homes started to sell like crazy. The first tract housing development started in California and people wanted cars. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that restaurants started to boom and that trend just kept going right up to today. That seemed to be the beginning of America’s overweight problem. As restaurants became more popular, the types of restaurants grew larger. Fast food started to take hold in the late 1970s and kept growing until today when fast food seems to have control of the market. Today, we have chain restaurants that aren’t really fast food but the fare is so low-end that what they serve is the same as fast food.

The food manufacturing business is so large today the FDA (the government agency that safeguards our food) can’t keep up with all the new products the industry puts out. So we have a lot of manufactured food today, that isn’t really food, it’s just stuff to fill you up with the promise that if you eat it you won’t die. Somehow we have gotten away from eating real food and now most people either eat in restaurants or eat something you heat and eat like a frozen meal.

The end result is that 2 out of 3 adults are overweight and half of those are seriously overweight, I’m talking 40% body fat and taking 7 or 8 prescription drugs just to stay alive. It’s a sad situation and the only way we can change things is if we stop buying processed or manufactured food. Outside the big cities, there is a trend to buy produce in Farmer’s Markets like I remember 60 years ago.

In the 1960s, I lived in a suburb of Chicago and you could still go to a produce market, a real bakery, and a butcher to buy meat. And yes, there have always been overweight people but not as many as today. The food we used to eat was better quality and there were a lot fewer chemicals in our food.

The overweight problem we had in the 1950s and 1960s was caused more by the number of calories consumed due to food preparation and portion size. Today we still have those same problems but today some of the blame can be put on the high carb content of snack foods and the chemical additives that can be addicting like these sugar supplements.

I’m against chemicals in food. I understand that the idea is to keep food costs low by substituting natural foods with artificial ingredients, but why is that so important. Europeans still prefer real food and have been slow to accept processed foods. You can make the case that dairy is processed food but the Europeans don’t see it that way. When you study the food culture of other countries I think you’ll find that North America may be the only part of the world where manufactured food is widely accepted. I wonder why that is?

Exercise will reshape your body

Exercise alone doesn’t make you lose weight, in fact, exercise can cause you to gain weight. You have to diet. Exercise helps you to retain muscle mass. The object in losing weight is to lose the fat and lose inches. Checking the scale every day won’t help you lose weight. If your plan is working then you’ll lose inches and your clothes will begin to fit better and even become baggy. You’ll start to have more energy and you’ll actually become a happier person. Exercise does play an important part in the weight loss plan.

Once you change the way you eat, start eating healthy foods and stop eating those foods and drinks with empty calories. Food and drinks that do nothing to help you lose weight are empty calories. Some people think they will lose weight by eating low-fat foods or diet foods in the grocery store that are low in calories, but this won’t help you. Prepared foods like TV dinners or ready-made sandwiches, frozen pizzas, and other already prepared foods even bread, or rolls are made to taste good, not good for you. Learn to eat fresh and make your own food. Stay out of restaurants or any place that prepares food to go. There, all the same, the food is made to taste good, that doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

So, straighten out your diet and start to exercise and you’ll lose weight. Exercise doesn’t have to mean hours in the gym every week. You can exercise at home with only one small piece of equipment. But you don’t even need that, you can start walking more. I started by walking the dog at night. After dinner, I’d walk the dog for an hour. Big dogs love it and you’ll help them maintain their weight and live longer, while you’ll be helping yourself. Small dogs don’t like walking that much, so mine walked for a while and I carried him for a while, then he walked more and I carried him more, and so on. After a few weeks, he got used to it.

If you do buy equipment, I like the stationary bike, being a senior with sore knees, the bike was perfect, no weight on the joints and it helped my knees. Of course, I did it to get exercise, not for therapy, but I got a two for one out of the bike. The other equipment I like is a rebounder. Dr. Oz says 20 minutes on the rebounder and that’s all the exercise you need all day. If you’ve never seen one and have internet access, google “rebounders”, it looks like a small trampoline. If you look on the Amazon website they have a variety to choose from. My wife bought one at a sporting goods store cheap and has had it for more than 10 years. You can spend a little or a lot, but the only important thing is that it’s rated for a person your weight.

To get back to the point, exercise will help you be a healthier person, but the diet is how you’ll lose weight. You need both if you don’t want to end up shaped like a pear.

I Plan My Meals Before I Shop

Before I go to work, while I’m having coffee, I plan dinner. If there’s something in the freezer I need I’ll take it out and put it in the refrigerator. Normally, I remember I always write down the menu and take it with me. If you’re organized enough to do this a day or two ahead then if you’re missing anything from the menu you’ll have time to pick it up.

If you learn to stick to the planned menus then you can actually save money on food. It means a few more trips to the store, but the inventory of groceries around the house will start to shrink. This is a good thing and yes the kids need snacks, but this will give you the opportunity to make some healthy choices. When you wait until the last minute to shop, you don’t have time to make the proper choices, you end up buying anything just to get out quick. I wish I could count the times I nearly got run over going to the checkout line.

Fruit is great snack food, it has sugar but it's good sugar, its natural sugar. It’s all the processed foods that are causing our health problems. Try to avoid processed food. On the morning show, a health guru was talking about the six meals a day plan I wrote about in an earlier post. Maybe some of you thought I was crazy, but it’s true.

Never skip breakfast, but be careful that you’re eating the right thing. Eggs are great, but only one yolk, the rest whites. toast is good, but not white bread or bagels, it’s just empty calories, whole grain bread, and fruit. It’s very important to eat but eat good food and avoid food that does have nutrition. Get something for your food dollar.

Go back and review earlier posts where I discuss the six-meal plan. It won’t hurt to read it over again. There’s a lot of truth in that post. Remember you’re not eating to fill your stomach with things that taste good, you’re eating to give your body enough nutrition until you eat again.

The six-meal-a-day plan wants you to save the calories for solid food and only drink zero-calorie drinks like water. Of course, today we have zero-calorie flavored water that's unsweetened. This new drink has taken over a complete aisle in my grocery store. Five years ago zero-calorie water was sold with a dose of artificial sweeteners. But in this last decade, a company from Wisconsin introduced LaCroix carbonated water. It was flavored water with zero calories and no artificial sweeteners, no carbs, and no sodium. It was flying off the shelves. Now there are hundreds of companies copying their product. No one has to drink soda any longer and the soft drink companies are feeling it. 

The six-meal-a-day plan wants you to consume 300 calories per meal every 3 hours, starting the first half-hour after you get up. I had to make a change to the schedule to fit my schedule, so I cut out the last meal. I'm in bed early and get up early so 5 meals every 3 hours worked better. I could go a little over on the calories per meal like 320 or 330 calories, but I was only eating 5 meals. I was consuming about 1600 or 1650 calories per day and that worked for me. 

The idea behind the diet plan is that it's hard for most of us to digest a large meal. One hundred years ago or maybe longer ago the 3-meal plan would fit into a person's work schedule. This schedule had nothing to do with your health. Science didn't decide that this was the best way to eat, Europeans bought this to America because this was the way they ate growing up. Today, because of the weight problem that most of us have, we understand that eating large meals or consuming a lot of calories at one time only causes problems for your digestive system.

Why A Drastic Cut In Calories Is Harmful

In our fast-paced society, the Very-Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) is quickly becoming the chosen fad or method of weight loss. It even comes with a guarantee of shedding those unwanted pounds yesterday.

Extreme measures of weight loss may be warranted and prescribed during a medical crisis. This would be understandable. However, applying drastic weight loss methods for the everyday person may not be safe or healthy.

Many very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) are now being covered by insurance plans. This has made it even more appealing for people to sign on the dotted line. Not usually understood is only part of the VLCD program may be covered by insurance. The diet shakes are the largest part of the VLCD and a costly pay-out-of-pocket product.

Be cautious about any diet making unrealistic weight-loss claims. Extreme weight loss programs may severely restrict food intake and recommend drinking shakes in lieu of eating. Studies on very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) do show rapid weight loss but not without adverse health risks. According to other research, once the VLCD plan is completed, the weight is gained back plus more. These starvation-type diets are very risky and should only be tried with a doctor’s supervision. You have to take supplements and your doctor will know what you need.

The human body requires nutrients from lean proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Proper portions of these macronutrients are essential for good health. Individual calorie requirements will differ per person based on overall lifestyle and activity levels. This is where your doctor comes in. He’ll know how much to cut your calories.

Personally, I think these diets should be avoided. I always recommend going vegetarian for a couple of weeks. During that time buy some protein powder at the grocery store to supplement your required amount. Get plant protein while going vegetarian and in the 3rd week or 4th week eat some seafood and chicken breasts. After one week of eating some meat or seafood (about 4 oz. a day), go back to the vegetarian diet for a couple more weeks. While on the vegetarian diet, be careful of dairy. Dairy is high in animal fat and can add body fat. I stick to “plain Greek yogurt”, that’s my only dairy. You can add fresh fruit like berries. On a mostly vegetarian diet, you don’t have to count calories. Just avoid bingeing. I eat small quantities about 5 times a day and I don’t add sugar and an only very little salt (sea salt). One more thing, don’t drink calories except for your protein shakes, don’t drink anything with calories.

A sedentary person would require much less caloric intake compared to a marathon runner for example. Regardless of lifestyle, the human body needs calories from the major food groups to function at optimum levels and to be healthy. Very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) can restrict essential nutrients and place a person at risk for adverse effects and health issues.

Energy needs for a body at rest (Basal Metabolic Rate) remain fairly consistent and responsible for seventy percent of calories burned each day. To calculate your basal metabolic rate, multiply ten calories for each pound of body weight for a woman and eleven calories for a man.

A 130lb woman would burn 1300 calories at rest per day. More energy is required for digestion and absorption (thermogenesis) ranging from one to eight hundred additional calories per day. Physical activity calories also offer the largest variable per person demanding even more caloric intake. Don’t over-estimate your activity. One hour of heart-pumping exercise will only burn about 300 calories, even if you’re experienced at a strenuous workout.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, a woman should consume no less than 1200 calories per day and a man no less than 1800 calories. Also indicated extreme caloric restrictions signal the body to conserve calories and significantly reduce our metabolic rate. Very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) allow for consumption of only 500-800 calories per day and place the body into self-starvation.

Very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) require a person to be under the care of a physician due to possible health risks.

Some adverse effects may include fatigue, dizziness, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, and increased overall cholesterol. Research has indicated more serious health effects may include gallstone development.

Very-low-calorie diets(VLCDs) promise rapid weight loss but not a lifestyle of keeping it off. Studies show weight loss with VLCDs is commonly regained once the program is completed. Participants are not learning how to eat healthily or exercise consistently.

The safest way to lose weight is by implementing healthy methods. Nutrition and fitness education is important. Learn how to buy and prepare healthy foods and include a regular exercise program. It will be proper nutrition and exercise knowledge allowing lifelong sustainable weight loss.

Instead of overspending on packaged shakes for a temporary fix, a better investment plan would be to locate a qualified personal trainer and/or certified nutritionist. They will be able to offer substantially more quality education for a lifetime of good health,

There's No Magic Pill For Weight

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 use 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 feel 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 95% 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 and 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 have 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. On average, we probably live longer today than humans have ever lived before, 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 diseases and illnesses 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.

28 Days To Shrink Your Stomach

Have you strayed from your weight loss goals this year but still want to get in shape? Give the 28-Day Shrink Your Stomach Challenge a try! This weight loss program is designed to decrease your bloat, burn fat, and shrink your stomach in just one month. Plus, the diet is flexible — you can start it whenever you want to! Print out the chart to put on your refrigerator so you can start weight loss the right way, with healthy balanced meals and an exercise routine. If the Plank Challenge is too difficult for you, there are other exercise routines you can do. Just go to the “doctoroz.com” website and look for this “Shrink Your Stomach” plan.

The facts are that you have to shrink your stomach if you want to lose weight. To lose weight you cut the calories by eating better, fresh food that has fewer calories and increases your activity to burn more than you eat. If you do both those things every day you will lose fat and the extra fat will disappear.

What some people starting weight loss for the first time, don’t understand is that just eating less of the same foods you’re eating now isn’t going to take the fat off. If you eat high-quality foods you can eat the same amount and consume fewer calories, that’s the secret to good health. You can’t lose weight or fat by starving yourself. That only works for temporary weight loss. In a month the weight will come back.

If you’re overeating or bingeing, this is normally caused by too much stress, and the stress isn’t going to disappear because you want to lose weight. So you can force yourself to cut back on food and you can lose a few pounds for a few weeks but the stress is probably still there and you will start bingeing again.

I had a similar problem, but shrinking my stomach and changing jobs did the trick for me and I started to lose the extra fat. Today my meal portions are half the size and I feel full. I found the “5 small meals a day plan”. Each meal is about 250 or 300 calories and I was eating every three hours. Get ideas for small meals on the internet. I googled 300 The food cravings disappeared and I stopped being hungry. The 5 meals a day plan works well with the “28 days to shrink your stomach” plan.

This is a sure-fire way to start losing. Stick with this for 28 days and I know you’ll be happy with the results. I stayed on the 5 small meals a day plan and never looked back. It is a great way to control your blood sugar.
