Soulnoid's Journal, 19 May 2012

Day 119- Another 2 lbs gone! Just for kicks I calculated my BMI- Start 119 days ago= 36.3, today = 31.6, almost a 5 point change, but I am still obese by their standards. Anyway, I thought I was gonna hit a wall, but a few days on the road and I was able to shed 2lbs. I have 4 days on the road this coming week and then off to Hartford, CT for a few days of DMB concerts over the weekend, I can’t wait! Hope the weather is good.

So I am just about done watching the HBO ‘The Weight of the Nation’, it really has opened my eyes to a lot of things you don’t realize is going on. I knew about a lot of the stuff but the behind closed doors stuff is very interesting. When are we as a nation going to say enough is enough? Also, it has me wondering when are we going to see a major chain that serves REAL (unprocessed) food all the time? Subway just sells low cal food, but a lot of it is still processed. They also serve a boatload of soda. Then I got thinking of what if there were stores that did not sell soda or processed juice? They would have a shelves and shelves of water, can you imagine that? Yes, I did learn that a lot of the so called juice products are just sugar in liquid and your body can’t use that, you need the fiber that comes with the fruit, daaaaaaaauuuuu. It seems so simple when you think about it that way. I have never been a fan of the liquid diet products, shakes, burners, etc. and it kills me every time I read about one in someone’s food journal. Like others have learned there is no easy way to lose weight, it is work and until you are ready to do this, you will fail!!!! It also has nothing to do with any of the fad diets, plan and simple they all just starve your body of one major component, and once you add that back in, you go right back up! So, if you are yoyo diet person, take a look at what you’re doing……. Again daaaaauuuuuuu moment. I know a lot of what I have typed, most already know, but again I see it on here everyday that some one does not understand how weight loss really works.

BTW, today is Real Food Day! Whole Foods has more info.

Congrats on that last 2 pounds. Still haven't watched that video (thanks for the reminder) but I do agree the only way to ever eat fruit is in its raw fresh state! Lets hear it for real food.

Thanks for turning me onto the Weight of the Nation series. I feel the same way. I know of some local restaurants that have gone to all unprocessed whole foods but they have a pretty small market share. It's hard to make a profit at that until more people buy in to the concept. Which is why I think it's so important for people to see those videos.

with all the other crazy stuff going on with my family this week I haven't had time to sit and watch another installment of WotN. I think I'll try to get one this afternoon. Regarding unprocessed fast food -- a while back I thought it would be a great idea to have a "Fast Fruit Restaurant" I noticed that you couldn't get fruit really at any burger or taco joints (I guess some have apple slices now). The problem with my genius idea is the spoilage rate of fresh fruit. But I thought it'd be nice if you could order off a menu and it had things like: pineapple chunks, raspberries, bananas, kiwi etc.

Jess, Not a bad idea. It could be done, just like the subway set-up. As another person, said i think it is the cost of goods that keeps big company out, but on the other side I guess others have done a high price point. Chipotle has kind of done that. They have mostly real food on their menu.

petuniak, I have always wanted to open a microbrew pub that serves good real food. If I id not get myself so far in debt, I prob would have done it by now. I have the location all picked out and everything. I know, beer is not the best health wise, but it all depends on how you look at it.
