Is healthy eating for weight loss the standard American diet?

The standard American (or Australian or English) diet, or SAD for short, is really sad. There is no concept of health, nutrition, toxicity, weight gain or diet that best suits your way of evolution. It seems that the only aspect of concern is speed and taste. Of course, these are important considerations, but so are the others.

Let’s examine these in more detail.

Healthy food is full of nutrients. It supplies your body with all its needs to prevent all imaginable diseases, or to cure them. However, not only is your food lacking in nutrients because of the way it is grown, but the processing of denaturing, emulsifying, coloring, flavoring, shelf-life extension, and many other procedures is detrimental.

Heat is used a lot and removes many of the essential nutrients. The chemicals are used to flavor, color, preserve, or as a catalyst, which increases the levels of toxins in your body. Denaturing natural foods make them difficult to digest and assimilate, as well as create mischief in your body.

An example of a denatured food is sugar. Sugarcane is a healthy food. As is black molasses, the first by-product in sugar processing. But sugar is very unhealthy. So are all chemical alternatives to sugar. By itself, sugar cannot be digested. So, to digest it, the minerals are extracted from your body. Minerals that are essential for a healthy body.

Don’t consider for a minute that government agencies adequately protect your food. They can prevent some of the really dangerous methods of food production, but not the less harmful ones. You don’t have to look any further than GM’s problem to figure that out. Even that is considered by many to be one of the most harmful foods out there.

Chemicals that increase toxicity in your body can come from the air you breathe or from the cigarettes you smoke. But they also come from your food. In an effort to try to limit the damage to your body, they are stored in fat, in organ systems, in connective tissue, wreaking havoc, creating disease.

Full SAD ignores the diet on which humans have evolved and function best, which is the healthiest diet. This diet gives you more energy, more resistance to disease, more peace, optimal weight, greater ability to cope with stress and a longer and healthier life.

Aim for healthy eating to lose weight and improve your health.
