Mc Fat!

Let me tell you a bit about processed foods.  They aren't good for you!  Processed means that the food has been taken from it's original, identifiable shape and changed into something else, usually with a whack load of chemicals thrown in for good measure.  When things get processed they loose a lot of their original goodness that Nature provided, like vitamins and fiber.  The funny thing is, the manufacturers end up adding things, like vitamins, at the end of processing to try to restore the original nourishment - TRY being the key word, as they seldom succeed.

Here is a story:
A person is hungry and they go to a fast food restaurant to fix the hunger.  They order a burger, fries and a pop.  The burger (besides being made up of many different cows, and who knows which parts of those cows) is fried meat and the bun is processed wheat.  The fries are processed, deep fried potatoes. The pop is complete sugar and chemicals.  The person spends a few minutes eating there burger and fries and drinking their pop and then they carry on with their life.  About an hour later, the person feels hunger again - funny, as they just ate an hour ago.  Oh, well.  They go to another fast food restaurant and order a pizza made of processed wheat, processed cheese, processed meat.  They eat the pizza to fix the hunger and go on with their life.  But an hour or so later they are hungry again.  This time they snack on chips at home.  More processed and fried potatoes.  The person is hungry within the hour.

OK, why are they always hungry when they are always eating????

Because they aren't getting the nutrition their body needs.  Their body says, "I'm hungry.  I need nutrients to function."  The person feeds their body but only gives it processed carbohydrates.  Their body says, "I don't need that right now, so I'll store it away until I do (in the form of fat)."  The body is still not getting what it needs so it says, "Hel-LO!  I'm still hungry.  I need nutrients to function."  But the person doesn't understand this and just keeps giving their body the wrong food and they remain hungry and continue to gain weight.

 The moral of the story.  Eat food that provides nutrients to your body when it is hungry.  Simple things like fruits and vegetables.  Things that you can pick up in your hand and see what they are and know where they came from.  Like an apple.  Pretty simple.
