Kefir Qunioa Millet Tempeh Miso What?
I still cant believe that me, of all people... is actually a healthy eater.
I dont mean healthy like grabbing the closest carton off the shelf that says more calcium or less fat...thats the easy way out and simply lies fueled by corporate greed. Corporations have learned that yes, we want health, and health sells but we dont want to think or work at it.
When I was at my heaviest, and felt my worst at 120 pounds overweight, I tried being good by eating what the TV told me. Macaroni with more calcium...we need calcium right? Milk by the gallon... it's super healthy right? Red meat is protein and vitamins, orange juice with my bagel is healthy, THE TV DOESNT LIE!
Hmmmm. Actually the TV and the media is a relentless bitch that will rob you of your last dime and leave you fat and stupid wondering what you did wrong.
You have a choice. To learn the truth, through chatrooms, fitness experts, nutritionists, healthy people... NOT from websites promising to let you lose 20 pounds effortlessly in 10 days
Real change takes work. It takes effort. Thats why most people are NOT in shape. But for Gods sake (and yours) why not take ONE TINY HOUR out of your reality show schedule and do some research. See beyond the lies they tell us and learn the truth. The truth is never shouted, it is always whispered.
Thats why when I heard about weird foods like Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) and millet I figured if this stuff is so good why isn't it on TV?
Answer: There is no money in it. You cant patent or trademark a natural grain. You cant get exclusive rights. Just like the idiots who made aspartame who wondered what if we had a patent on sugar? Of course you can't patent sugar but you can make a frankensugar and market the heck out of it even if it does kill brain cells and cause damage (dont believe me? Do some research) Now I cant even find chewing gum that has sugar! Every freaking gum has asper-death in it... not that I should chew gum with the whack of mercury fillings in my mouth... but I digress.
The point I was trying to make before I went off on my tangent there is that I... the fat, hard drinking, epitome of the North American Homer Simpson waistline club managed to find my way out. Not just to the stuff they SAY is healthy. But to the stuff that IS healthy. How do I know? I feel great, I lost 100 pounds, my whole life has changed.
If you dont know what those foods are in the title above learn. Check out my recipes section on my website. Visit some forums, learn... and enjoy doing it!!
There are so many varied tastes not just the sweet and salty crap they push on us. My breakfast every morning of blueberries, cranberries, cinnamon, Kefir, specific nuts, molasses, dates is not only healthy it rivals the flavours of any fare I desserted on in French restaurants.
And that is just the beginning! You think eating healthy LIMITS you? Ha...thats a laugh... although I thought the same not that long ago. I couldnt lose that endless variety of chicken, beef, and fish on Fridays. Serve and repeat.
Nope there are hundreds of things to try. To invent. I invented cilantro, cabbage and sardine soup with dulse! I love it! What about a layer of sprouts on ryvita crispbreads with caraway havarti sprinkled with curry powder and cayenne? (I invented that yesterday... it's actually quite good)
Imagine... a world where food tastes great... you have a variety... the food makes you healthy... and you feel great!
This world exists, and if a fat, dumb, ex hamburger loving boozehead can find his way so can you.
No go do some research!
