March Madness is in full swing and I have to admit something to you, I don't really follow it except for the fact that the UofA beat Duke. Being from Arizona and the fact that my wife graduated from the UofA is the only reason we are interested. I do know, however, that this is a really big tournament to determine the best college basketball team in the land. So in the spirit to try to fit in we went to dinner Friday night at a local neighborhood sports bar called "Zipps".
When we got there the place was packed and rocking and so we had to wait for a table. We have been to this place before as it is 5 minutes from our house and I will be the first to admit it, the food happens to be very good for a sports bar. As we waited to be seated I looked around the bar to see everyone having a great time drinking and eating. Finally our little pager went off and we were ready to be escorted to our table.
As we were walking toward our table I just observed what everyone had on their plates to eat. The majority of people had a huge burger with fries or onion rings. I also saw a lot of wings and other fried foods. Now if you have read any of my earlier posts you know that I look at food a different way since I have been on Isagenix. Tonight was no exception. As I walked to the table I realized that this was the norm for the American diet. It would be one thing if people ate like this once in a while, but this is how most people eat all the time. And you wonder why there is obesity and illness in our society. I don't want to come off as some food snob or that people are harming themselves greatly by eating food like this, but my point is about choices. Even in a restaurant like this you have a choice to eat something healthier for you than a meal that consists of thousands of calories and no nutritional value.
If you make a decision to eat healthier and are conscious of what you are eating then you are in control of what goes in your mouth. I get a lot of help from the Isagenix grocery store. By consuming nutrient dense super food it allows me to stop craving these types of foods. We all have choices, but most of the time we are not in control. That is left up to our conscious mind telling us, "it's ok to have that burger and fries this time because we are watching the game and it tastes good". We all need help making those decisions and I helped myself make the best decision by trying Isagenix. It literally has changed my life. Oh by the way, I walked out of the bar feeling amazing as I had a salad and a glass of water. I didn't have that stuffed feeling or bloated feeling that you often get after eating a big meal of fat. Wouldn't you rather feel that way too?
