Eat Responsibly

We’re reminded to drink responsibly, but when it comes to eating I guess all bets are off.  We wander aimlessly down the supermarket aisles, searching through our coupons to try to save money. We watch the glitzy ads on television promising us good health in a box, and we believe it. We look at labels for calorie counts, but ignore the ingredients made from chemicals in a lab.

That’s crazy.

We rely on the USDA (that’s United Stated Department of AGRICULTURE) to provide us with guidelines for healthy eating, instead of doing a little research to realize that all those “heart-healthy whole grains” are intolerable (at best) for most people, and just make the rest of us fat and depressed. We consume boxes of cereal, possibly the worst product on supermarket shelves, as long as the box has a “heart-healthy” stamp, even if it’s loaded with sugar.

We’ve bought into the notion that fat makes us fat, so we look for low-fat labels and wonder why we’re living in a country with insane obesity rates.

We’ve listened to the advice, and it isn’t working. Maybe it’s time to make a change.

Changing your diet for better health and weight-management is easy when you have the right tools, help, and support. If you want to learn more, join us on Sunday, April 14 for a one hour FREE introductory Paleo and More session in the conference room of Shard Financial Services at 1537 N. Leroy St., Fenton.
