You Don’t Find Healthy Eating Plans at Diet Centers

Have you ever really looked at some of the so-called healthy eating plans that are passed out at diet centers around the country?  It seems that either they restrict your diet to the point of painful boredom, or they tell you to go ahead and eat everything, but never enough to feel full.  What kind of plan is that for a life long commitment to nutrition?

Diet centers, even the best ones, are a multi million dollar industry, and their main goal is to make money.  The best diet plans, nutritionally speaking, only have a 5% success rate over time.  Would you bet the ranch on anything else with those kinds of odds?  I wouldn’t.

Rethinking your Eating
The reason that you won’t find livable eating plans at diet centers is because they ignore too many of the basic rules required in teaching your body to metabolize food well.  They load up your plate with fake foods, artificial sweeteners and chemical loaded ingredients.  Take a look at any of the popular diet meals at the grocer’s freezer – you probably can’t even pronounce half of the ingredients.

To reeducate your body, you will need to educate yourself.  That means taking a serious look at what you eat and how you put your meals together.

Dump the Junk Food
You are never going to retrain your body while you are still eating foods that slow your metabolism down.  Any and all refined sugars and sugar substitutes need to disappear.  We all thought that sugar substitutes would be helpful until we learned that research shows that people who regularly use them actually eat more in response to their mistaken ideas about sweeteners.  Stick to stevia and raw honey if you need a sweet boost in your tea.

Get rid of all wheat products, even whole wheat ones.  While whole wheat is better for you than white flour, it still causes an insulin reaction when the sugars in the product hit your bloodstream.  Dump soy products too, they are so chemically laden that eating doesn’t do you any good.

What else should go?  Dairy products made from commercially raised cows.  Remember the big fuss just a few years ago when we found out that dairy farmers were routinely injecting their animals with hormones to increase milk production?  That makes them more prone to illness and then they are given huge doses of antibiotics as well.  Do you really want to put that into your body?  Raw milk products are fine, in moderation.  They maintain the natural digestive enzymes found in milk, and as long as such products are used sparingly they are just fine.

You Can Eat the Good Stuff
I know you are worried about your calcium intake now.  Calcium is more available when obtained from dark, leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, collard greens and the like, or when you eat wild caught fish like sardines.

Start eating some protein in each meal.  Use organic whole eggs, grass fed meats, organic poultry and wild caught fish.  Include raw nuts in your daily routine.  Look for whole grains such as quinoa, spelt and teff as well as brown rice, all organic of course, to serve beside your protein.

Creating your own healthy eating plan isn’t that hard, and as you make the change you will feel better too.  Don’t rely on those whose primary goal is to take your money now, and for the rest of your life, teach you to eat junk.
