Weight Loss With Healthy, Natural Food Instead of Junk Food

Why do we refuse to stop eating processed food? Because it is an addiction and is difficult to stop.
What can we do to reverse that addiction?

Yes, that's what it is; an addiction to processed, genetically modified food. When you start reading the labels for ingredients of the contents of the package or box, you will understand. You can forget about any weight loss with healthy natural food when eating processed foods.

Do you have friends or family claim they're "trying" to lose weight? Well, check out their kitchen pantry and refrigerator and will discover the majority of them will have more junk food than whole unprocessed food.

What do these folks who are trying to lose weight have for breakfast? Don't be surprised, but you will more than likely the answer is, apple jacks, fruity loops and a variety of other sugary cereals. For sure you will find snacks in the pantry or on the table. Yes, fritos, cheetos, potato chips, candy bars and other favorite processed junk food snacks. So, the slick advertisements on TV, Radio, printed media and what is found on supermarket shelves have done their job. They convinced you that junk food is tasty and good for you. In my opinion that is false advertising and misinformation.

So, if these people are really concerned about weight loss with healthy natural food why don't they fill their kitchens with healthy food instead of junk food?

It is because they are addicted to processed, genetically modified food. Let's think about that for a moment.
Here is an example:

We know chocolate bars are loaded with salt, sugar, caffeine and fat, up to 300 calories per bar. The body will crave sugar, salt and fat like a body demanding heroin or any other addictive drug. If you take candy from a sugar junkie, big problems arise. Quitting causes withdrawals. If you don't already know this, remove sugar, processed fat or salt from your diet, and your body will crave them. You will go through the discomfort of dealing with withdrawal similar to the withdrawal from any addictive drugs. If you really want weight loss with healthy natural food, you have to earn it by ridding your body of processed foods and replace them with whole, organic, unprocessed, natural food. That's what you can do to reverse the addiction to processed foods.

Some people say they do not want to give up their favorite foods. They believe a little junk food now and then won't hurt you. It always amazes me to hear the weak excuses people come up with to justify eating junk food...
