Staring At A Menu

My wife and I went to grab a bite to eat and then went to a movie last night. As I was sitting in the restaurant looking at the menu my mind started to wonder. As I was reading through all the choices I couldn't help but think about all the articles I've been reading about what's in the food we eat. Those articles are pretty frightening because they all talk about the chemicals that are in and on the food. It also didn't help that I saw the documentary,"Food Inc". If you have never seen it I suggest you rent it , but I must warn you it is very intense. The movie studies the food industry in this country and they don't hold anything back. Again, if you have a weak stomach please don't go see it. My wife walked out of the movie at least three times because she was that upset. It is not all about the chemicals that are in and on our food it is what they do to these animals that is extremely disturbing.

Anyway, back to the menu. I went through all the items in each category and started to realize that there really wasn't anything on this menu that I could eat. Then I began to think about the Isagenix program I'm on and how good I feel not eating a lot of processed foods and other foods that are just empty calories. I am so satisfied because of the nutrient dense food I have every day that I have lost my cravings for basically all food. My body doesn't want for anything because I'm supplying my organs and cells with what they are actually looking for. It is such a simple concept that I have a hard time understanding why more people don't get it. Even when I tell them about this alternative way of looking at food, they just can't grasp the concept of providing your body with nutrition. The crazy thing is that most people know that they have to change their eating habits because a lot of people are aware of the pollutants that are on the food they eat.

So what is the problem? People try dieting and a lot of time it works, but then when they stop dieting the weight comes back and often times they gain weight. The big thing now is this Hormone injections or pills you take and eat only 500 calories a day. How safe can that be? By the way, are those people getting any nutrition? Everyone wants a quick fix, but very few people are willing to or have the courage to take a stand and do something good for themselves. The Isagenix products I take helps me get over any thoughts I have about eating because of the formulations of the products. People will try all different diets, but they have a hard time understanding the benefits of this system. Once they do try Isagenix, they release the weight, have more energy and have a sense of well being. If they stop using the products then can you  guess what happens? They put the weight back on and say Isagenix doesn't work.

This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change. If you maintain the use of the products you will have amazing results forever. I have been using them for over a year and I will NEVER stop because of the way I feel. As a matter of fact, the longer you are on the products the better results you will have. Since I have decided to change my lifestyle and eat healthy nutrient dense food, I have been struggling to find something to eat on the menu at any restaurant I go into. I usually end up getting a salad, but then again I start to think about the pesticides and herbicides that on sprayed on the veggies and it drives me insane. I might be too over the top, but then again I also know how good I feel and don't ever want to stop this feeling. EVER!!!
