The Buffet Line

Have you ever attended one of those restaurants where they have a buffet line and all you can eat food? The best ones are in Las Vegas, NV. As a matter of fact, you can find one at every hotel on and off the strip. They are so appealing because for one low price you get to stuff your face with so many different types of food. If you take enough time you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner and spend the day there.

I remember going to many of those types of places in my day. There are places where they have all you can eat sushi, Chinese, pizza etc. The ones in Las Vegas are great because they have multiple ethnic foods in the same buffet. Boy, those were the days....NOT!

When I look back at how I used to abuse my body I could kill myself. Had I not changed my lifestyle, I would have ended up dead or with so many health issues that I might as well be dead. Most people overeat even when their not at a buffet. There is something about getting your money's worth that gets people turned on.

The way I am now after being on the "7 Day Challenge" Protocol for over 220 days, I could walk into a buffet and eat nothing. You heard me right, the food in a buffet would do nothing for me because I don't crave food any longer. I made it to the other side. I am no longer held hostage by food. Can I tell you how liberating that is? Believe me when I tell you that it is liberating. Just the fact that I can go to a party, restaurant or anywhere there is food and not be tempted to eat it. How about you? Could yo do that?

In order to get to that place one has to change the way they eat. They also must change the way they look and feel about food. It is called a commitment and one that once started should be followed through. I could never understand the people that have tried Isagenix products and have had amazing results only to find out they stopped consuming the products. Maybe it's because psychologically they know that there will never be another buffet line in their future. Maybe they don't have the commitment to change their life to better health.

I'm sure there are many reasons people don't follow through on a commitment to better their health. The one that gets me is the cost. I know I have heard so many people say it costs too much. I say, "Compared to what"? If you had a choice to put the best food on the planet in your system for less than $3.00 or a Big Mac, fries and a coke, which would you choose? Unfortunately, I believe most Americans would choose the burger because they believe it will fill them up more than a meal replacement shake. How wrong they are! The burger, fries and coke are EMPTY calories and the shake is packed with nutrients that will actually curb your cravings and provide your body with a feeling of satisfaction.

The next time you are on a buffet line don't think about the calories you are consuming, but rather think about the damage you're doing to your body. Try and get over the sensation of stuffing your face with a ton of tasty food and realize that there is a better way to treat your body. It is a hard thing for most people to do, but why wait until it's too late. Eventually, if you continue eating the way you do, your health will suffer.
