Junk Food is Bad

As you probably know already, eating junk food is not good for you. It is bad for your health as well as your waist line. But why do so many people love it?

I have a theory. It is that the biggest addiction in America is food. People are addicted to junk foods that are high in sugar, fats, and other unhealthy processed ingredients. And the reason is simple. Large food corporations have saturated how much sugar and greasy fats are in foods. And this stuff is great for peoples taste buds. It's what people crave!

Then we wonder why people have such a hard time following weight loss tips!

The problem is that these junk foods are also the cheapest out there. They're way cheaper than healthy foods. So, when people are trying to eat healthier they don't even know what healthy is. They go for granola bars and "wheat chips" not realizing that their choices are still, for the most part, unhealthy.

For example, wheat does not mean healthy. Whole grain means healthy. Wheat is just wheat products that are stripped of their fiber and nutrients. And added with salt and fats.

Instead start cutting down on these junk foods and eat more fruits and veggies for weight loss!

Fruits and Veggies..Eat 'em!

Do you like fruits? How about vegetables?

I know most people love certain times of fruits and love eating them all the time. My favorite is the kiwi! So small yet so tasty.

Now, if you ate lots of fruits and vegetables and started cutting off other foods you could very well start how to lose weight fast!

The reason fruits taste so darn good is because they have sugars in them. But the difference between these sugars and sugars in other foods like donuts, candies, and other junk foods is that this sugar is pure and natural. It isn't the result of a processing system that removes all the benefitial nutrients and leaves only sugar. Sugar is a part of the fruit and this also includes fiber which regulates how fast you absorb the sugar. As a result, the entire food is a much better source for carbohydrates than, say, a candy bar.

The key is to start eating more and more of them! For example, in your daily meals start adding a serving of vegetables to them. Add a salad.

I recommend that instead of snacking on junk food snack on fruits! It isn't going to kill you and switching from junky snacks to healthy snacks is a great first step!

Water for Weight LOss

This article is going to show you the TRUTH about water and weight loss.

Yes, I'm sure you've read those articles that give you ten tips for weight loss and one of them includes drinking water for weight loss. We've all read these. But is it actually true? And how effective is it?

Truth of the matter is that water is very helpful for your overall health. Quite obvious. Water helps keep you hydrated as well as provides the needed materials for every cell in your body. BUT, it isn't going to help you los weight. It will help you stay healthy and without plenty of water you may have a harder time.

The reason water is needed is more of a prerequisite for weight loss. You see, if you aren't drinking ample water during a diet or exercise program you are going to suffer. It's going to get a lot harder for you to stay motivated. Your energy levels will probably fall off and you'll have a hard time keeping up.

Water will help prevent this. But it won't magically take fat away from your body. To do that you need to check out my post on weight loss diets.
