We have great news for 2008 about nutrition  Check out the website at http://johnsonsacupuncture.wholefoodfarmacy.com for a new you-Let food be your medicine. As Thomas Edison said "The Doctor of the future will interest his/her patients in — proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Finally, the TRUTH about WEIGHT LOSS! If you feel you are fighting a "losing battle", you're not alone. Currently 184 Million Americans are overweight, 77 million of those are clinically obese. Both of these figures increased 10% between 1994 and 1999 and there's no end in sight following the same course.

Obesity - What's Causing It?

Don't blame yourself for lack of will power or discipline  The American food supply is largely to blame.

Your grocery store is overflowing with processed "foodless" foods and sugar laden "lifeless" drinks  The fast food industry offers you little more than "Doses" of high fat, super sized meals containing dangerous trans fats and far more calories than your body needs.

The result?  Your body's nutritional system has become clogged, confused and locked into fat storing mode.  If you're like most people, you've tried it all but nothing seems to work.

The truth?  Your body's own built in survival system can render any fad diet utterly useless within a matter of hours  Now it's time to find out why.

The Low Fat Myth

Eating a low fat diet can help you to lose weight, but that's only half the story  Most people trying to lower their fat intake begin shopping for products whose labels show low fat or no fat  There are fat free meals, snacks, and drinks galoreThe truth?  Most fat free or low fat foods are high in processed sugars, dangerous artificial sweetners, low in fiber and contain MSG  As you eat these processed foods, the acid in your stomach dissolves them very quickly  It's like trying to fill a sink that has no stopper!  The MSG causes insulation production so you're hungry an hour later  The result?  You consume excess calories and your body stores them as fat  What your body really needs are healthy nutritional fibers found only in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and berries - otherwise known as whole foods  The acid in your stomach will not completely dissolve whole food fibers  Eating them fills you up faster, keeps you full longer, unclogs your digestive system and balances blood levels  Good fats are not the enemy  Fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E & K, along with whole food essential fatty acids found in nuts and seeds, are healthy  Animal fats, trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils are the ones to avoid  The Exercise Myth The Myth of Skipping Meals The Low Carb Myth

The Truth is Simple!
The Truth is Not Expensive. The Truth is Guaranteed.  Isn't it time you gave nature a try?
