Being fat has nothing to do with how much you eat. The average person fat, skinny or any size eats between 3 and 4 lbs of food a day. This is the dirty secret that the industry doesn't want us to think about. They keep pushing diets meaning cutting back on the quantity of food you eat. this way you are always fighting your fat with willpower. When you stay fat you believe it is your fault not the food industry's fault.
3 to 4 lbs of food a day will keep your stomach satiated. If you eat 3-4 lbs of fruits and vegetables, whole grain you will not be able to maintain excess pounds. If you are interested in losing weight forget about diets, forget about looking at serving size. Focus on calories per pound. 1 lb of vegetables is about 100 calories. A pound of oil is about 4000 calories. 1 pound of process food can be 1100 and much higher.calories. Eat food as close to nature as possible. Fresh fruits and veggies. Frozen fruits and veggies. Whole grain rice, potatoes, beans have about 500 or so calories per pound. Salt sugar and fat is added to food to get us addicted. The food industry knows how addiction works. Phillip Morris the tobacco company learned how to addict people to cigarettes. They are now a food giant. Do you think they used what they learned to addict us to certain foods? The Great Awakening is learning to see past the nonsense. Big corporate media is not your friend. Big corporate food is not your friend. Processed foods became the big thing around the 80s-90s. Take a look at photos from before that time. you will notice that almost no one was overweight. Take a look at photos from today. You will notice just the reverse.
I do not want to insult anybody. I had to learn this for myself. I had allowed myself to get overweight to a point of obesity. I had high blood pressure pain in my feet sleep apnea. I was taking meds for this stuff.
After doing a lot of research I started putting this together. Change what you eat not how much you eat. Think of processed food as poison. Cutting back on poison is not the answer. We need to stop the poison.
i went on a "diet" of fruit and veggies. No additives, no salt, no fats no sugars except what was naturally in the foods. i stayed away from some foods like nuts which are high in calories. If I was Hungry I ate. I would have 4-5 meals a day.
So I was never Hungry. A simple motto. Don't be hungry, don't be stuffed.
I was losing 3 lbs a week without even trying.
to make a long story short I am no longer on any meds. I no longer have sleep apnea. My blood pressure averages around 110 over 70. No more swelling in my feet.
You don't have to eat like I was. I just tried it out and I was amazed how quickly things were getting better for me.
If this is something that interests you do a little research. what ever you want to eat figure out how many carioles per lb. The average guys need about 500-600 per lb to maintain their weight. Less and the weight will drop. More and the weight will go up.
I hope this helps someone. It's time to take back our freedom.
Ps I do not know how to add an image to a text post so I will add a picture in the comments below of a simple chart to show the calorie count per lb of foods.
I am not saying anybody should do it the way I did. I am only saying that we are being lied to and that there is a way to heal ourselves on our own.
I am making clear, for the benefit of others then, that you were doing a cleansing fast by eating only plants.
I am only eating foods that are less than 600 carioles per pound with high nutritional content.. It just happens to be that plant based foods fit that criteria
453.592 grams/lb x 1cup raw milk/244 grams x 320 calories/1cup raw milk = 594.875 cal/lb
The problem is I don't like milk, lol But thanks for sharing that. If people started thinking about food in calories per pound knowing that we eat about 3-4lbs daily the mystery of losing weight could be almost eliminated. Of course there are people with health problems that would need a doctors care. In the past people just ate normal food. None of this highly process junk. They did not worry about being "on a diet" Granted I may have got into the weight loss a little more than I really needed to. but waking up every day no longer having pain in my joints made me want to continue even more. I did run into a situation where I went from high blood pressure and taken pills to having a bit of a problem getting dizzy until I realized my blood pressure had dropped quite a bit. I was still taken BP pills. Once I realized my blood pressure dropped I stopped taken the pills. I talked to my doctor and he agreed. Then I was able to drop all the pills I was taken.
