Why am I fat?

Photo of a woman with cellulite on her buttIf I look at all the ads on television for losing weight, I started to think that people were really trying to become skinny through diet, exercise, or weight loss surgery.

How wrong I was! According to a new poll from Woman's Day magazine, only 8% of those polled admitted to exercising on a regular basis, yet when asked what they most wish for, 37% stated to be thinner. Just to put it in perspective, two out of three Americans have a weight problem.

And while I also thought that women would want to look younger -- I want to and am terrified of getting old -- in this poll only 6% stated to look younger.

The final shock came to me when I read that if given the option, 78% would rather get a million dollar payout than have Jennifer Aniston's slim physique.

I guess we now know why so many women are fat. They are simply not willing to do the hard work needed to lose weight and would happily waste money on diet pills.

Health with fruits and vegetables

It seems that no matter how many times people are told that fruits and vegetbles are critical for good health, people don't get it. If you love eating meat and fish, you can make your meal even more delicious by adding vegetables to your diet. Just notice how Italian, Japanese, Indian, Thai and Vietnamese cuisines incorporate both meat and vegetables. The reason you may not be enjoying your vegetables is that you are not adding flavor to them.

But what about fruits?

There is simply no excuse not to eat fruits. They make great snacks and it is much better to eat fruits raw rather than drinking store-bought juice (it is fine to make your own juice at home with fresh fruits and skipping the sugar).

Fruits and veggies are critical to your health and if you eat the recommended portion, you do not have to worry about vitamins and supplements.

Lunch Box Diet review

MYNIPPON photo of the lunch box diet bookWe all seem to eat well when we are at home or go to a fine restaurant. On the other hand, the worst meal of the day might very well be lunch for many of us, who fail to plan for it. It is not uncommon to walk to the cafeteria in the building itself or a nearby deli/fast food joint and grab unhealthy food, or even worse, buy some junk from a vending machine. One bad meal can undo all the healthy eating that you do during the day.

The solution to this dilemma is the "The Lunch Box Diet." This diet prevents those lunchtime hunger pangs, provides long term energy and gives the ultimate safe, slender figure by simpky picking from a plastic box. Ideal for those constantly on the move.

Developed by Simon Lovell, the inspiring diet works by picking items from three special food groups and combining them together to offer a plethora of tasty combinations that can be simply put together by anyone. What's more; users get all the vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy and they can have their normal breakfast and evening meal if it applies and there's no messing around with meals in-between.

It's pack up and out to work! No more craving for the bad things at lunch time. Simon explained that eating is about enjoying. As well as being fun, there are massive health factors involved when dieting. The Lunch Box Diet loses and maintains weight the safe way, at a controled rate that will stay off in the long-term.
