I was talking to some colleagues about what they might be eating tonight as a Friday night meal. Almost all of them made mention to something along the lines of Chinese, Pizza, Big Mac etc. What these things all have in common is the fact that they will in no uncertain terms cause your waist to expand and your cholesterol to rise.
The general pattern is that people will head home and order in for the night – now I know that it is relatively cold and wet here in Sydney today, but that is still no excuse for not getting your butt off the couch and making sure that at the very least you are keeping active.
I was reading the other day about a bloke who had saved a Big Mac and chips in a cupboard for about a year and there had been no sign of degradation in the meat or the bun. Now for me regardless of if you have read Fast Food Nation or not, or if you subscribe to the caveman way of eating, something that does not rot after a year of standing out in the open should not be eaten by anyone or anything in any shape or form. If bacteria does not want it then neither do I.
Pretty pleased that I have not touched Big Mac or such junk in about 5 years now.
Sometimes I get a little jaded by the thought that we are going to take an awful long time to correct our eating patterns that have become progressively worse as we have evolved as a human race. We can however prevail if we are to teach the youth about the importance of healthy eating and weight management. By not buying fast food, we are sending a message to these companies that we don’t need their junk in our eating plans and pretty soon what you don’t buy you don’t eat and you won’t miss.
I am living proof of this having run away from junk food and 105kgs and each and every one of us can embrace this lifestyle if we want it enough.
Believe it – Achieve it!
