Carleton, I'm glad to hear your success in weight goals and how much good you got from that read. I guess for me its hard to appreciate the problems that come with being a naturally bigger person (my father for instance). I don't understand how he could become so large and how content he is with it.
Maybe this is life preparing to punish me for passing judgement. I'll hit thirty, and my metabolism will just **** on me, and then genetics will come and ass**** me to finish the double feature. I'm not bull****ting when I say I would rather die than become stationary/sedentary/fat with no means to change it.
Must. Never. Stop. Riding.
Read that book. Seriously.
Americans as a culture eat the wrong things. Even when we try to eat healthy.
It took me a while (and this book) to understand how the body processes what we put into it.
A few tips (from me, not the book)
- Any food advertised on TV is most likely bad for you. Pay attention to commercials.
- Sugar is a drug. Americans love sugar.
- Our body treats bread, cereal, etc no differently than it treats cake.
- Water is awesome.
- Good coffee tastes good without cream and sugar.
- Your taste buds will adapt after 2-4 weeks. Ketchup used to taste more salty than sweet to me. Now it tastes as sweet as maple syrup.
- Count Calories for a month and your eyes will be opened to caloric bombs from things that you thought were OK. My caloric bombshell: Breakfast Cereal. I may as well have been eating chocolate cake for breakfast and as a late night snack.
