Eating right is important & knowing what you eat matters.

If people only knew what they are really eating and how the food is being processed then they will think twice about the food they eat? I personally stopped eating pork when I was saved at 7 years old. I did not stop eating pork because of religious reasons. I just, for whatever reason after I was saved wanted to take care of my temple by eating right. I learned at a very early age that pork caused a lot of health issues, so I just stopped cold turkey. I stopped eating beef after we had my first child when I was 19 years old. I am not saying I am a vegan but I may soon be one because meat, soda, sugar, and salt never really appealed to me the way fruits and vegetables do. I always had a problem with gaining weight because my favorite food is salads that contain fruits and vegetables, but with a diet like that it was hard for me to gain weight. It’s not that I am trying to eat healthy, healthy foods just taste better to me and makes me feel better. Heavy food and sugar just slows me down. I know the formula to pack on pounds but my body responds in a negative way when I consume foods that are high in sugar, starch, and calories. I know this because recently I decided to develop a different strategy for gaining weight that I have not really concentrated on long and hard but it worked. I noticed that when I did the early morning run for coffee with sugar and donuts mostly every morning and snacks with cookies throughout the day my experiment seemed to work. However I really paid the price when it came to energy. I felt slower and sluggish. I wasn’t overweight but the pounds I gained were not healthy and my body was trained to know it. That is why it is very hard for me to hold now foods that contain a lot of grease and drinks with high sugar.
