New studies suggest it isn't all in our heads - but most of it is. A curious client gave me a copy of the Nutrition Action Healthletter - Thanks! What an interesting read. The small informative magazine is published by the Center of Science in the Public Interest. The cover article probed the question of Why we overeat? You know you're not hungry, but you still have that urge to nosh. Is it because the food tastes so good? Because of your sweet tooth? Your genes? Your mood?2:10 PM Remy Maguire - Manifest the Best 0 Comments
"I give you a package of sugar and I say, 'Go have a good time.' You're going to look at me and say, 'What are you talking about?' Now to that sugar I add fat, I add texture ... I add color, I add temperature, I add the emotional gloss of advertising.
"I put it on every corner and I tell you, 'You can do it with your friends.' So what's happening for millions of Americans ... they get bombarded with foods. Their brains get activated. No one's explained to them that they are constantly being stimulated."
"Kessler says it is possible to create virtually anything with chemicals. In his book, he writes that a piece of meat can be made to taste like it has been seared, braised, roasted or grilled. And, he tells Norris, much of our food today — because it's so highly processed — is enormously palatable."
"Pick an appetizer. What's in Buffalo wings? You start with the fatty part of the chicken. Many times it's fried in the manufacturing plant first. It's fried again in the restaurant. That red sauce? Sugar and fat. That creamy sauce? Fat and salt.
"So what are we eating? Fat on fat on fat on sugar on fat and salt."
Kessler says that food is excessively activating the brains of millions of Americans to get them to come back to eat more. Still, he says, that doesn't mean people bear no responsibility for their actions.
"Once you understand you are being stimulated, then you can begin to fight back to prevent being manipulated," he says.
Goals produce results!

After completing my first triathlon a couple weeks ago I am ready to set myself some new goals. It is important to keep challenging ourselves and pushing our limits - or at least stave off boredom! Is the treadmill getting old? Are you running the same route everyday? What about your exercise program excites you to keep it up? Goal setting is a very personal thing - but some tactics for defining them and achieving them can be learned. Your goals will depend on where you are on your individual journey. Are you aiming for weight-loss, improved cardio-ability, lower blood pressure, completing a marathon, keeping up with the kids? Whatever it is be very clear about it. Write it down. Write a few down, some small, some grand. Goals inspire and motivate us. Goals help us create our lives instead of just letting it happen to us. Manifest the best! The good feeling and confidence that come from a steady stream of progress are great motivators. Setting and reaching a string of goals, no matter how small, is a regular dose of satisfaction that may one day bloom into pure inspiration. 7:51 PM Remy Maguire - Manifest the Best 0 Comments
