The Shocking Reason Why You Are Fat and What You Can do about it!
Written by Florence Edwards
Having trouble fitting into those jeans? Are you taking those diet pills faithfully but still struggling with your weight? Or, do you pop in your Billy Blank’s Tae Bo DVD every morning, hoping you will sweat enough to cut the flab but you’re getting fatter and fatter?
You are not alone. More than 60 percent of Americans are overweight, and the real reason may surprise you. For years, fitness experts, diet companies, and the media, have drilled it in our heads that we are to blame if we are overweight. We have been told that we are fat because we lack willpower, and consistently overeat. Some popular weight loss ‘gurus’ suggest that if we just stick to our diet, exercise or take a pill, poof! Our weight will magically disappear.
While that fairytale sounds good, it’s not fact. If it were, we would all be thin, live happily ever after, and the diet companies would all go out of business. So, what’s the real reason our bulging waistlines continue to increase year after year? Are we the reasons why we are fat, and if we aren’t to blame, who is?
John Erb, author of ‘The Slow Poisoning of America, believes that a very common food additive, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), is responsible for making us addicted to food, and is one major cause of our nation’s bulging bellies. In his book, Erb states that MSG is a direct cause of Obesity, Diabetes, Autism and A. D. Hyperactive Disorder.
MSG is used by almost every fast food restaurant and food manufacturer in the U.S.
When you are eating those delicious, crispy Mc Donald’s french fries or even enjoying a ‘healthy’ salad, your brain is being programmed to eat more and more. This additive not only keeps us fat, but makes us sick. According to Dr. David Kessler, former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, “MSG is a neurotoxic substance that causes a wide range of reactions from temporary headaches to permanent brain damage.
We have a huge increase in Alzheimer's, brain cancer, seizures, multiple sclerosis and diseases of the nervous system, and it is everywhere in the food.” Dr. Kessler also states, “The food industry has put fat, sugar, and salt in every corner and made it very entertaining.” He calls the foods we eat “hyperpalatable,” and says they lead us down a dangerous path to “hypereating” and obesity.
To make matters worse, the industry spends a whopping 30 million dollars a year marketing to us, hoping to keep us addicted and fat. Fortunately, there is an empowering and effective solution to this problem. There is a proven way to not only drastically decrease your desire for unhealthy food, but also help you drop excess weight and keep it off.
If you are tired of working out and dieting without results or feeling like a slave to food, there is a comprehensive, healthy weight loss program that has helped thousands of patients burn fat easily, quickly and naturally. Tired of being overweight and suffering from almost constant food cravings, Danny Milea tried numerous diets, but nothing proved to be a permanent solution. He felt like it was an ongoing battle to get the weight off and keep it off.
With many failed attempts, he turned to Remedia Weight Loss, and for the first time, experienced true, lasting results. According to Milea, before trying Remedia’s weight loss program, he had to “fight constant food cravings, and struggled with dieting.” After completing the program, Danny stated that he is
no longer a prisoner of food and he no longer experiences cravings for unhealthy food. He has kept the weight off and lost an astounding 55 pounds in only two months under Remedia’s supervision. Other Remedia Weight Loss patients have lost 80 pounds in just three months, without exercising, and have also kept it off.
