Food Liberation

In a recent post I talked about changing ones mindset about food. This is an ongoing battle most Americans  due to their conditioning since childhood. I think that stems from the parents wanting their kids to fit in with other kids, so they go along with allowing their children to eat what they want. I also believe that we, as a society, look for more convenient food items because we are all so busy.

Because of the changing economy, families now have to have more than one source of income, which in turn changes everything about how we feed ourselves. Once you begin the cycle of eating a certain way, it is very difficult to change. Today, it is all about convenience, but it is also about trying to eat healthy and yet that is a difficult thing to accomplish. The vicious cycle of eating foods that are unhealthy is getting stronger and that is witnessed by the increase in the obesity rate in north America. We have become addicted to food that is bad for us.

What if you were liberated from food? Can you imagine not being held hostage by food? That would mean walking into a party and not being tempted to eat any of the food. That means taking responsibility for your health and recognizing that there is an alternative to our current food supply. In order to do that you need a vehicle to get you over the hump of those bad habits. For me it was the "7 Day Super Food Challenge". It provided my body with the nutrients it needs to survive and not be tempted by "food". Flooding my body with nutrients actually curbed my cravings for food. Once yo get to that point you are half way home. The next obstacle is your mind. Liberating yourself from the thought of having to eat "food" is one of the most difficult things you will go through. This is where most people get stuck.

If I had a nickel for everyone that told me that they, "love to eat", I would be very wealthy. At some point, your health will become an issue if you continue eating the way you do. Please don't tell me that you, "eat healthy", because when I hear that I go insane. There is no escaping the chemicals in our food supply, no matter how well you think you eat. There is, however, an alternative.

I can only speak from experience. The "7 Day Challenge" protocol has changed my life. The big reason was because I wanted to change. I think you have to start there if you want true liberation from food. Without a true desire to change you will not change. I think people don't change because in their minds they think they can't make it. They don't even try because they know they would have to give up things they love. If you are one of those people know that you CAN make it. If you just change your thought process to knowing you can change your lifestyle, you can change. Funny how powerful the mind is, but it is up to you to THINK it!
