Weight Loss Ease

Recommend this? YES NO

My weight had been one of those things I thought about all the time. I grew up in a generation where you could never be too thin (or too rich) and eating disorders were rampent. It was important in my family to look good and I think some part of me thought that if I looked good enough it would magically solve everything. Ha! My first year in college where food was a free for all and empty calories a plenty, I gained more than the freshman 15. It wasn't pretty. Then, a few years later when I started learning more and more how individual foods work in the human system, that any extra weight I had, fell away effortlessly, and has never returned. I eat a wide, varied diet with plenty to keep me satisfied including desserts. (I'm making a blueberry pie as I type this.) It's the whole foods that keep me slender and full of energy all the time now and I love how easy it is. Easy as pie actually!

Weight loss can be so simple when we learn what foods are doing for us.

Ha! Freshman year is so funny. I think it's because we're used to getting fed a certain portion at home. And then all of a sudden there's this total buffet in front of us. I agree with you on the whole foods. The way I heard someone say it is to stay on the outside aisles at the super market (veggies, meats, eggs, fruits). It's the inside ones that get you in trouble!

Hey Richman, so glad you are reading these. I agree with you on your supermarket theory as a way to begin but it gets so much more fun than that. Who wants to feel restricted? But what if you knew there was a whole other world that you might not even know about? There are more fun and healthy things to be had that may not even be in your average supermarket. My cookbooks make the cooking part fast and easy to do, so you might find some new creations there too.
