You Are What You Eat

Published by Pat Mullaly at 10:10 pm under Current News, Keeping Fit, Staying Healthy

Recently I came across a TV show out of Britain that caused me to really stop and think. It’s one of those reality shows. “You Are What You Eat.” (Click here to check it out on the internet.) It’s really worth a look. Each episode follows the same formula.

Overweight person(s) ask for help from this nutritionist to get a handle on their bad eating habits. She goes through their cupboards, tossing whatever isn’t healthy and commenting on all the junk food they have. Did you know that white bread is actually another name for glue? (I only consume multi-grain, thankyou very much.) The obese person then keeps a diary of all the food consumed in a week. Then comes the confrontation when all the glop and fat they’ve eaten is presented all at once. Spread out on one long table, it’s disgusting to look at. It’s awful, ugleeee and usually stops them in their tracks.

Advice, cooking lessons and recipes follow and for the next 8 weeks- a total transformation occurs. The obese person learns to eat vegetables and avoid pizza, they lose a lot of weight and everybody is happy.

I would like to go back and visit these people in a year and see if miso soup is still on the menu! Still it is an eye opener. I’ve been thinking about my intake. Must ponder this.

Your article really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular subject goes. Nevertheless there is 1 factor I am not necessarily too comfy with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your point, permit me see just what all the rest of the visitors have to point out.Well done.
