I know why I am doing this lifestyle Meghan. But I do know something else. It can be hard when you want a piece of chocholat. I know that it is not easy to work out everyday sometimes. But ultimately, the alternative is to have an average body, or an overweight body. And then later in life to possibly have something like diabetes. You live in the US too, so you should also know how hard it is to try and eat healthily.
The meat here is different then Europe, for example, because it is injected with growth hormones. That can interfer with the thyroid and it causes a lot of people problems in losing weight and otherwise.
Cerals, like Wheaties, have hyrdonated oils as a predominant ingredient. Gronala doesn't exsist in the supermarket without 31 grams of sugar carbs.
The FDA idea of health food is laden with sodium and chemical preservatives, processed flours or empty calories.
So far, any other lifestyle of eating provides just ONe thing that the diets here do not offer. That is the unsurmounted bliss of being able to eat thoughtlessly, without thinking of your carbs, without thinking of your blood sugar, without thinking of your future. Appeasing the tastebuds with the most appealing food on earth is mentally healthy I would say, but for most people it tends to add body fat. If I sound like I am taking a harsh tone, I don't feel hostile towards you. That is just how I talk and type all the time, but really I have high hopes you will like what I am saying.
So matter over mind this time, the deciding factor that will answer your original question is:
What is more important to you...
Your health and physical attractiveness, or the doughnut from the deli?
