Maybe you’ve seen it
in your friends – they will try the latest diet craze – low carb, low fat, low
calorie, whatever it may be – and it seems like no matter what they do, as soon
as they finish the diet they gain all of their weight back?

I mean, it’s well
documented in government literature what the best guidelines for healthy eating
and living are…it’s not like people don’t know what to eat and how to live to
be healthy…right?
And yet, more people
than ever before in human history are obese, and not only that, the GROWTH rate
for obesity is continuing to increase. So not only are we getting fatter, but
the RATE at which we are getting fatter is increasing as well.
It seems to me like
the current “mainstream” nutritional and health guidelines are…well, misguided.
I mean, if they were correct, wouldn’t we all be a healthy, happy population?
Wouldn’t this obesity epidemic not even exist?
Albert Einstein (a
very smart man, I might add) once said that the definition of insanity is doing
the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
And yet here we are,
doing exactly just that – following guidelines that continue to only produce an
unhealthy, obese population, expecting them to provide us with a different
result.
How many miles do we
run (only to find ourselves exhausted and in physical pain, rather than with
less of a gut?)
