FINDING YOUR NATURAL WEIGHT: Three Secrets You Want to Know

Factoid: In America today, over 64% of the population is

overweight, 27% of which are classified as obese. In the

last 20 years, the rate of obesity has doubled for children

and tripled for teens.

_________________________________________________________

Dieting and strategies focused on " losing " weight conjure up

thoughts of eating less, hunger, and deprivation. More often

than not, they are fleeting and unsuccessful in the long run.

A wiser, more effective approach is to think about finding your

natural weight. Concentrate on satisfying and nourishing your

body with foods and lifestyle habits that create an overall state

of well-being and thereby, gaining health, energy and vitality.

This is a multi-faceted process that may take time. Following

are three things you may not know that can help:

1 ~ Drinking just one soda or sweetened beverage per day can

increase the risk for obesity in children by 60%, according

to a study cited in the Lancet. Needless to say, reducing

or eliminating your sweetened beverage consumption can be

tremendously helpful in finding and maintaining your natural

weight.

But don't look to diet drinks that contain artificial

sweeteners...

2 ~ Aspartame the chemical component of most artificial

sweeteners such as Nutra-Sweet, should also be avoided. Contrary

to popular belief, there is nothing " diet " about these toxic

sweeteners. Aspartame is addictive and causes people who consume

it to crave junk, snack foods and more artificially sweetened

foods and beverages.

Unfortunately, it has been increasingly added to processed foods

in recent years, despite the fact that it is the number one most

complained about substance to the FDA. This neurotoxin was once

banned in Japan and other countries due to its health risks. It

is not a food, it is a harmful chemical best avoided by all.

3 ~ MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a weight-causing flavor

enhancer you'll also want to avoid. Like Aspartame, it is a

neuro-transmitter that affects the hunger and weight control

centers of the brain causing those who eat it to crave more

food. That's why food manufacturers put it in their products

- it keeps you coming back for more!

MSG is actually fed to laboratory animals to fatten them up for

research without increasing their food intake.

This neurotoxin has also been increasingly added to foods over

the last few years and is now contained in the majority of

processed, packaged foods on the market today. Disguised under a

host of different names, MSG has never been approved by the FDA,

and can best be avoided by eating mostly whole, fresh, natural

foods and health food brands that do not contain chemical

additives.

In addition to weight gain, MSG and Aspartame are associated with

many other conditions, including migraine headaches, fatigue,

depression, seizures, brain fog, ADD, and more.

EMPOWER YOURSELF

To learn more about these harmful and unnecessary toxic food

additives, read " Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, " by

Blaylock.

To learn more about our popular food culture and how to create a

healthier eating lifestyle, read " If It's Not Food, Don't Eat

It!: The No-Nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle. "

Don't fall victim to food- and diet-industry propaganda. Educate

and empower yourself so you can find your natural weight -- look,

feel and be your best!
