This is a great point you make. I know that I’ll often grab something to eat – and it’ not because I’m actually hungry. So, this is a great reminder for me today, thank you very much!
Agreed! Excellent points.
I believe many of today’s obesity problems stem from the points you raised. Ask almost anyone, and they can tell you how to eat healthy. But still, take a look around. There is obviously something deeper going on.
Thanks for the reminders! Your post was a great way to start my day.
I hear people all the time say something like, “I eat all the right things so I can’t figure out why I’m gaining weight.” But I get the sense that they are only counting their official meals in that calculation. All those other times we eat (and don’t even notice) don’t really count, I guess. But it’s really THOSE calories that add up.
Thanks for stopping by!
I think the two keys are eating “real food” (as little processed stuff as possible), and portion control. What was Michael Pollan’s mantra? “Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants.” I can recommend two of his books for your online bookstore: In Defense of Food, and The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
Thanks for the recommendations; I’ll have to add those to my store!
