Calorie Counting on Menus Slowly Delivering the Message

Restaurants with over 20 locations are now required to post the menu items’ calories. Calorie counting is not the best long term process for getting lean. It is, however, an alert to a growing crowd that what they eat has more calories than they anticipated.                                                 

The best process is to eat natural foods because the body recognizes them in the digestive process. They tell the body it is not going to starve and causes the body to release the poisonous food it has kept encapsulated in fat. The body knows unnatural food is highly acidic and will damage the organs.

Does avoiding calories for a fast food hamburger mean the diner is going to take a piece of chicken in pita bread? Does avoiding pasta mean that they will eat a salad with chicken? The restaurants now are scrambling to serve healthier food with lower calorie counts.

Calorie counting is the wake up call but not the direct message needed. The direct message is that fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, lean meat or plant protein, and good fats don’t have many calories. It means you could eat as much as you need and not put on weight. The reason you don’t put on weight is that the body will expel the surplus.

You could have fruit, grain cereal, or eggs for breakfast. You could have salad, chicken, tuna, fruit, or omelets for lunch. You could have salads, soups, chicken, rice, beans, avocado, fish, and other lean meats for dinner. No one would starve while getting very lean.

Exercise would be a bonus. Late night snacks are fine if they stick to the same foods. What you eliminate is as important as what you add. Eliminate sugar, grease, white flour, fatty meats, and dairy. This means sodas, chips, desserts, Danish, processed foods in boxes and cans, bad fats, and excess salt.

Eat the right foods and you can eat them when ever you want and pretty much as much as you want. You need to take over control of your mind because it is the devil’s playground.
