Rethink the idea that healthy foo
d is too costly. In 2008, Americans spent more than 140 billion dollars on obesity related health care. Why not reap the benefits of investing money in good food, quality nutrition, and exercise, instead of on doctors bills, medications, and bigger clothes! Think of mealtime as an investment in your physical and mental health and not as a costly grocery budget.

A quote from The Sugar Detox (2013) by nutritionist Brooke Alpert, states that “sugar is compromising our health, making us fat, lazy, and ugly.” I could not agree more. It is also turning many of us into addicts. A study found that when mice were fed a diet with 25% extra sugar (which is the human equivalent of a healthy diet plus 3 cans of soda per day) females died at twice the normal rate and males were less likely to reproduce. It is no surprise that the normal amount of sugar the average American consumes, contributes to alarming levels of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Withdrawals from sugar and other low nutrient carbohydrates, when trying to lose weight, can be difficult to withstand and will certainly lead to the all-too-familiar cycle of fatigue, irritability, cravings, headaches, and the list goes on and on.

25 Reasons Why You Don’t Want to Carry the Extra Weight…

Number 6….
6. Obese people spend approximately $485 more on clothing, $828 on extra plane seats, and $36 more on gas each year than their thinner counterparts. Researchers say an overweight driver burns about 18 additional gallons of gas a year. Plus-sized clothing costs 10 percent to 15 percent more than smaller-sized clothes. When it comes to jet fuel, a recent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine estimated that the extra weight of obese Americans caused airlines to spend $275 million to burn 350 million more gallons of fuel.
As if you really needed another reason to NOT pack on the pounds another year!
