We know our food is making us fat and sick -- we're out of control!

Let's look at 5 top reasons why we're losing the weight battle ... and what you can do to turn things around.

#1  Too Much Food

We're eating too much.  Period.  Here's what's happening:

• serving sizes are too big
• restaurant meals are supersized
• food is too easily available (fridge, cupboards, stores, fast food)
• mindless eating (in the car, watching TV, movies and sports, social activities, when alone)

Here's what you can do to lose weight:

• eat most meals at home
• use smaller plates
• eat at the table
• eat only when hungry
• stop eating when you've had enough
• never eat on the move
• never eat when doing something else -- make eating good food the event

#2 Eating The Wrong Stuff

Q:  What's the #2 top reason we're fat and sick?

A:  We're eating The Wrong Stuff.

Here's how it's supposed to work:

• all species on earth eat the foods available to them in their natural environment
• we should be eating the whole fresh plant and animal foods found where we live

The Straight Goods

Our bodies are simply not equipped to handle The Wrong Stuff:  processed food, fake food and manufactured food.  The Wrong Stuff is full of salt, sugar, starch, fat, additives, preservatives ... and it's disastrous for our weight and our health.

Here's what you can do to lose weight and gain health:

• eat the fresh whole plant and animal foods available in your area
• eat locally grown foods
• shop at farmers markets
• grow your own fresh veggies, herbs, berries, fruit, nuts and seeds
• freeze excess produce for the winter months
• keep free-range chickens and harvest your own eggs
• eat most of your meals at home
• pack a lunch

Taking Control

It's time to take control of your food.  Just say "no" to The Wrong Stuff.  Instead of eating processed food, go for fresh whole plant and animal foods.  You'll lose weight and feel better too!

#4  Processed Food is the New Tobacco

We know that processed food is about profits, not your health and well-being.  What can we do?

We need to fight back against processed food manufacturers the same way we fought against the tobacco industry:

• we want real food
• we want fresh whole plant foods grown without chemicals
• we want grassfed pastured animal foods
• we want wild fish and seafood
• we want to support local farmers and the family farm
• we want food security where we live
• we want to bring back healthy cooking and the family meal

Here's how we benefit when we raise healthy plants and animals and eat real food:

• highly nutritious food
• support the local economy
• good for the environment
• build a sustainable local source of food
• improved lifestyle and relationships with shared meal times

It's time to turn back the clock.  We need to get off processed food and return to our natural diet -- the real foods our bodies can handle.
