Freewrite Day 502 Let’s Eat

The latest fad in weight loss is fasting – intermittent fasting at times. I am following a few people on steem and more on fb who are doing this now.

Anything is better than learning about food and trying to eat better. People love their not-eating days!

Oops! Until the day they eat again, and feel sick again, and look forward to another time they will not eat.

I really hate this fad and it cannot be over too soon. But I’m sure it will die a very slow and painful death as people as so thrilled with the water loss of those wonderful not-eating days.

I lost weight by

• eating less crap
• eating more nutrition
• exercising 10 minutes a day
• getting better rest and sleep

How boring!

No one wants to do this. It is not sexy, and you have nothing to say. Much better to not-eat and talk about how great you feel.

Until you eat again.

I always ask people what their plan is for starting back on food. I rarely get answers. This is because they have no idea, and will just go back to whatever they were eating before. This would be toxic, nutritionally barren “food” in most cases.

Of course you feel better when you stop eating chemically laced food. Those toxins are making you sick and are addictive. When you stop eating them you feel better.

But here is some good news. There are 31 essential nutrients you should be getting into your diet each day:

You get ZERO of these when you fast. You get maybe 5% of the amount you need if you eat a Standard American Diet (SAD).

If you eat the nutrients, and avoid chemicals, pesticides, gmos, colors, flavors, and the like, you can stay in the real world where people eat to stay alive, and even lose weight at the same time.

Ergh…

Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track after Super Bowl Sunday. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?
