Looking At A Menu

When I used to go to restaurants I would look forward to that time when I sat down and enjoyed a good meal. So good in fact, that I felt sick afterward. You know the feeling I'm talking about. That was when I had no regard for my body or my health. Things have changed for me and the menu.

Today, when I go into a restaurant it is a completely different experience for me. It is not the food that I'm there for. I know that sounds crazy and you probably want to know why I even go. I go because I can still have a good time whether I eat or not. I'm there to be with people I care about and my wife and I do go out occasionally. That is usually the 1% that I actually eat food. The nice thing is that I have total control over what I eat. What a concept! Having control over what you eat and how much you eat.

Since the "7 Day Challenge" protocol I have been so satisfied with just eating the food from my on-line grocery store... This grocery store has everything your body needs to cleanse and nourish it to better health. The finest products, no compromise products, that you can't find in any other store or restaurant. The time I save and the gas I save not driving to the grocery store every couple of days. The cooking time, the clean up time, the digestion time! I have less garbage to take out.

I was talking to a friend who I hadn't seen in a while and I told her about my routine of eating nutrient dense food. I told her I don't go out to dinner very much and she said, " I could never just go to dinner and not eat." I thought that to be strange because there are many times I go and just have a glass of water. She couldn't understand how I could be happy sitting there not eating food. She said food and friends go together. She couldn't imagine not eating food and talking to friends.

That got me to thinking about how food is so sacred to us. People value food so highly that they believe they couldn't have a good time without indulging in food and spirits. Can you be social and not have anything to eat? I have experienced going to several parties and actually bringing my own food with me. Now granted it was just a meal replacement bar, but I still went and had a great time. Oh yeah, I felt better than any one else, guaranteed.

So back to the menu. When I look down at a menu in a restaurant all I can see is an article I read on Natural News about Gluten or GMOs. I know that sounds like a curse, but it is actually a blessing. I've done a lot of research on our food supply and that has helped me make better decisions about what is going to pass my lips. I know for some people that would be a difficult thing to do. For me, it scares the crap out of me knowing I'm about to eat something that is genetically modified.

When I look up from my menu my observation makes me sad. I see so many overweight people that I know I could help, but it isn't up to me, is it? Everyone has to take responsibility for their own health, but I believe many people don't know how to go about it. I'm so fortunate that I have found a solution to this problem. Something led me to this company called Isagenix because they have the solution. If you put these products in your mouth it will change your world, but you must first WANT to change. That is why I'm on a mission to help people who don't know where to get it, but have the desire to change.

The next time you are in a restaurant and are reviewing the menu, keep one thought in the back of your mind, "Will my body be happy if I eat this"? I know your taste buds will be happy, but what about your insides? My health coach always says, "It's not so much what you eat that matters, it's how you digest what you eat that matters".
