This is a topic I have wanted to cover for a while, and it is a topic that is sweeping America. I have identified it as the Biggest Loser Complex.
With the Medical and Supplement company making billions of dollars there is a constant race to come out with the biggest newest system for weight loss. From fat burners, to crazy cardio, boot camps, and slim spas everyone has something for people to lose weight. However, many fall off and fall back into their old ways after their new year's resolutions due to lack of chemical balance in their body.
There are so may people who crash diet back and forth and gain weight because they have attachments to food in unhealthy ways. Most people do NOT eat to live, but LIVE to EAT. They put toxic chemicals that have been "allowed" into the food system and have no idea what they are eating. For instance.... did you know that most fast food burgers... yes... this includes chicken places... typically have 60+ ingredients in the main dish? Places like Burger King, McDonald's and KFC have 80+ in just the burger main dish portions? Yes, America this is the biggest loser complex.
We are the biggest losers as we do not stand up for better quality food for us in the system. Our kids are becoming more and more obese in the public schools, because they are loaded with GMO foods everyday, and we wonder why the test scores for academics is going through the floor?
We have a society that works 40+ hours a week, has chronic fatigue, chronic depression, and have the majority of the populous being at least obese. We our friends are stuck in this complex.
What can break the complex? Learning that food is fuel and it should be used in proper context. Knowing that gluten itself along with many other chemicals including High Fructose Corn Syrup are literally the devil and will cause systematic withdrawals and imbalances. Yet, it is in most of our food.
Gluten itself will degrade your intestinal lining and become blood borne. This issue of loose proteins in the blood stream has been documented as an issue especially with gluten in many studies. It is stated that gluten itself can become an opioid derivative. Yes, that is the same kind of chemical that is found in intravenous morphine and imagine what it will do to your child before an exam?
What does it take to win this battle?
First, Eat clean foods! That means food that has not been pasteurized to the point of chemical change. You see the issues with pasteurization is not the process but what it does to the food. Eg. Milk when pasturized completely changes the chemical formation of the protein and becomes inflammation causing and allergy causing. Goats Milk & cheeses are simple forms and digest easily. Get your meats and other products from local farms and in the rawest or purest form possible. Greens at least 3 plates stacked high a day to help alkaline your body. Veggies in every color. Don't worry if you eat a lot of red veggies you won't turn red. =)
Secondly, Exercise. Exercise Effectively. Unless you are training for competitions you do not need to be in the gym doing endless cardio, and taking supplements out the ying yang. Food First! Supplements Second. Strength Train to build mass, neurologically develop yourself, and improve coordination. Using proper form over heavy weight. If it sacrifices your form don't do it! If you don't have access to weight use body weight, as your gym is always with you.
Thirdly, Take care of your body! Sleep at least 7-8 hours a day! It will release the needed hormones to allow you to repair and rest, and after a crazy day you need to regenerate! Too many people are stimulant dependent and that will fry out your nervous system and hormonal system.
Lastly, Water! Purified water is the best way to go! At least half your bodyweight in ounces is required for optimal function. Thats right for a 100lb person at least 50oz's to keep everything moving and grooving.
There is always more to write about this subject, but this is all for now. Until next time my friends. Stay well and much love.
