All Calories are NOT created equal

The "advent" of the 100 Calorie Snack packs have posed a new challenge to my line of work. Clients have begun to justify eating cookies, muffins, etcetera, with the statement, "It was only 100 calories." Empty calories provide no nutrients. Calories from saturated fats do not contribute to building a body that burns fat and provides a lean appearance. Like I always say poison, even "only" 100 calories worth, is poison. (A little bit of poison) Don't be a victim of marketing and packaging. 100 calories may be better than 500. But the goal should be "best" not "better." Eating is not that problem, its what you eat. Instead of eating so called snacks, eat mini meals. Snacks often invoke the thought of snack food (salty or sweet). So think of your meals by number, 1, 2, and so forth. The first step to changing your diet and your body, is to change your mind!

What Good are Appetite Suppressants?....None!

I challenge anyone that might claim that excess body fat or obesity results from being hungry. Hunger has nothing to do with the food choices we make. Thus, appetite suppressants are nothing more than another drain on your wallet. Let's start out by defining hunger.

Hunger: a compelling need or desire for food; a strong or compelling desire or craving

Using this definition, we can now make the distinction between a need versus a craving or desire. We need lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Individuals crave sweets, high fat, and salty foods. To survive we must satiate need, and from time to time we can indulge. The next time you decide to consume an item, determine whether you are suffering from hunger or craving?

So, what good are appetite suppressants? You tell me. One must eat to lose! Don not suppress you appetite, but your cravings for the wrong food. EAT.
