I just recently read a book entitled The French Don't Diet Plan and it has completely changed my approach to health and weight loss. I really want to share the concept with people because it makes so much sense!!!

The first thing I want to talk about is the concept of eating real foods, not faux foods. What is a faux food? There are many examples of faux foods in American grocery stores, but here is one example. This is the ingredient list of a very popular condiment that many people use on a daily basis:
Water, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil, Sodium Caseinate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Color Added, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sodium Stearoyl, Lactylate, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60,Carrageenan, Beta-Carotene Color

That, my friends, is Coffeemate Coffee Creamer in French Vanilla. After reading that, your first question should be, “What the heck is Sodium Stearoyl and Polysorbate 60 and what it is doing in my creamer?” Now the ingredient list for another very popular condiment that most people drink on a daily basis:
Milk and Cream

In case you can’t tell what that is, it’s the ingredient list for Half and Half. Now which sounds like a healthier condiment for your coffee?

This a concept number one. I took Dr. Clower's recommendation and I completely cleaned out my refrigerator and cupbords. I got rid of everything with an ingredient list that needed a degree in Chemistry to understand. I've reverted back to the old days of buying real cheese and real breads and real meat. And I've lost six pounds so far! I still have a lot to learn about all of this, but I hope to share everything I learn with as many people as I can. Maybe if we all work together, we can start controlling the epidemic that is sweeping through America called obesity.
