Man I hate hearing about this stuff. I was raised on these types of foods and now it's like crack to me. As an adult, I'm having a really tough time giving them up.

I'm sure I just need to learn new habits and have some will power, but sometimes I wish they'd just outlaw or ration unhealthy food too. It's just too damn abundant...




My problem is that I was raised with the food pyramid. Grain as staff of life etc. I look at corn flakes or wonderbread, and my subconscious health barometer reads "all clear." I'll consume these products without thinking about it.

It's really difficult to re-train myself for a more modern understanding of nutrition.


Yes, especially since I've trained myself to think that carbs are so good.


Instead of focusing on cutting back on "bad" foods, think about eating more good foods. The bad stuff will fall by the wayside naturally.
