"Don't blame salt for what the sugar did!"

 

[rkupon1]

I find it hilarious when anyone spews their particular chosen talking point on which food or ingredient or whatever is the one to blame whatever problem on. Salt, sugar, carbs, gluten, lactose, etc.. and all these bullshit diets, and all the doctors and scientists and idiots who say one thing one week and the exact opposite the next. Then there’s the FDA, pushing a food pyramid largely constructed by lobbyists, etc etc..

Here’s something to try: Whatever you eat, eat it in MODERATION. Try it just once, you might be amazed! It doesn’t matter what you eat if you eat too much of it. You can be on any diet you want, but if you eat more calories than you burn off, you WILL gain weight, period. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you WILL lose weight. Understand how this works? It’s remarkably simple.

Now, eating nothing but Twinkies and drinking nothing but eggnog isn’t healthy for sure, but if you consume them in moderation based on calories in/out, you won’t gain weight. But of course nobody does that. They grab the box of Twinkies and go to town, then eat their second dinner afterward, followed by their before-bed snack. And then they go on twitter and complain about processed food.

This shit ain’t complicated, even though most people try to make it complicated. You don’t need to get stupid, just use some common sense. It ain’t rocket science. But it does require will power, and most people just don’t have it. No willpower + cheap and readily available food of all kinds means FAT.

True, but it gets deeper. How many non fat people are "healthy"? How many people can even run a mile, do 50 push ups, etc? Thats the other half of the equation too. Dieting n fitness!
