"Fat Free" – Friend or Foe?

By on October 5, 2009

Don’t be fooled by “Fat Free” or any other attempt at a food label trying to look and sound healthy. Certain logos stamped across products can actually be purchased, whether true or not.  The cost of cheap and/or convenient food is your health. Don’t put this to the test. Rather, worth putting to the test is to see what happens after a week of eating food without labels. Food purchased from the outer 4 walls of the grocery stores. Foods found in bulk can save a person a lot of money. Why pay for packaging? You can’t eat it!

Fat free products may not have “fat” in them, but quite often they still include sugar – sugar turns to fat in the blood, feeds infection, and parasites love it! Fat phobia is not healthy – we need fat, our brain needs fat, healthy fats can actually help slow the release of sugar into the blood stream.

Getting more wrinkles than you would like? Many facial wrinkles can be avoided by eating real food, food providing optimal nutrition. If you are waking up to puffy eyes, face, hands, toes, or anything in between… over time wrinkles appear. One night of eating sweets can puff me up – what’s worse is when the puffiness subsides… wrinkles appear. This yo-yo of inflammation and deflation stretches our skin.

Sure there are other reasons for wrinkles (sun, drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc), but diet is huge. Know to that women have less sebaceous/oil glands than men. Thus, we can be more prone to crows feet and wrinkles around the lips (and more). Losing weight and looking and feeling our best does not have to be a mystery. Simply eat healthy most days of the week and hours of the day. What is eating healthy consist of? Mostly food without labels, local food, foods that are in season. Top that with ample amounts of water and “diet” can be a thing of the past. Water can be anywhere from drinking half your weight in ounces to drinking one ounce per pound of body weight.

Anybody can lose weight on fewer calories, why pay someone to tell you that?
