The Super Food Bowl

My wife and I were fortunate enough to get a couple of tickets to the Phoenix Open. We had amazing passes to a members club on the 17th Green. The tent had all the food you could eat with free beverages...if you know what I mean. It was a gorgeous day with the weather so perfect that you had to be crazy not to be outside and soaking up the sun.

So inside the tent, they had a buffet of things like chicken salad, sandwiches, big cookies and honestly I don't know any of the other food that was there because I didn't eat it. As a matter of fact, I don't really know what they all had since I never made it to the line of food. I just saw what people were eating when they would come and sit down at our table. I did make my way to the bar area where all the drinks were free. So a reached down into a huge tub of ice cold water and grabbed one of those.

Being on the "7 Day Challenge" has been the best experience of my life. You know you have made it to the other side when you aren't tempted to eat any food, especially when it's FREE. As I looked around at people eating I just kept thinking of how satisfied I was NOT eating this food. How good I felt that I was in control of making the decision to not eat because I wasn't hungry. How many people would eat in that situation even though they were not hungry? I mean come on, all the food and drink for free?

After the Phoenix Open everyone was rushing to a Super Bowl Party. Now if you have never been to a Super Bowl party you are really missing something special. People usually have more food at these parties than some third world countries. Liquor and chips, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, salads, etc. I like to refer to it as the Super Food Bowl. Everyone is having a great time and eating and drinking to their hearts content. The post game show of the Super Food Bowl doesn't look as good as it did before the show started. You might have overindulged a bit too much and are not feeling very good.

I often wonder why we all do this when we are around food. It seems that we have to gorge ourselves when there is a lot of food in front of us. Could it be that our bodies are deficient in nutrients? That is exactly what the issue is. If you went to those parties with the proper nutrients in your body then you wouldn't be as likely to eat the food even if it was there. That is exactly at the point I am at right now. Being on this protocol has given me my control back. I can walk past a buffet line and not be interested in the slightest. So many people tell me that there is no way they could do that. They could if they tried the  "7 Day 100% Gluten Free Super Food Challenge".

Then there are those people that don't see the value in sacrificing food for better health. Listen, this is not for everyone because you do have to take responsibility for your own health and sometimes that is a difficult thing for a lot of people. Taking the easy way out has its benefits, but right now I can't think of any especially since I have gone to the other side. Going to Super Food Bowl parties doesn't paralyze me any longer because I'M IN CONTROL!!
