Are your “healthy” habits making you fat?

September 9, 2010

The food industry has sold us a big, fat lie: diet and sugar-free are “healthy.”  You know what the problem is?  While sugar is bad, the many replacements, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose are all equally bad.  And what makes it worse is the food industry has exacberated our already innate ability to become addicted to sugar.  And who’s paying the price?  Our children, the innocents who can’t defend themselves against mom and dad’s grocery habits.

So what’s the answer?  To be honest it boils down to a lot of self-control and hard work.  You have to reengineer your entire eating life.  Food has become a sort of idol worshipped as the giver of all needs; comfort, happiness, soical acceptance.  Our problem with food is as much psychological as physical.  Of course, before food can become only one of many sources of fulfilllment, our diet has to change.  Nobody can keep eating tons of sugar, fructose, and empty carbs and still have a realistic attitude towards food.
