Men's health reports on the worst burgers. Here are two of note:

1. How about 1,900 calories in one burger?
2. I hate trans fats. Here's a burger with 5 grams of trans fats.

. . . she provides common sense information. This one is about antioxidants. 

So, it's  time to get ready for commercials that feature all the food items that make Americans fat.

Become an observer: watch the commercials. It will become obvious why 66% of Americans are overweight or obese.

It's the environment! No, not Al Gore's global warming environment, the U.S. toxic food environment.

Then for giggles, watch the commercials on the evening news. It's all the drugs we have to take because we have been eating all the food that is advertised during football games. If I was a conspiracy theorist, which I am not, I would believe that the food and pharmaceutical industries are in cahoots with one another.

Here are some more pictures of junk food that you will see during football season.

While I am not on Drs. Esselstyn and Ornish's lifestyle plan, these gentlemen have reversed heart disease in their patients. President Clinton is on the plan now.

And, for a detailed analysis of Bill Clinton's health issues and the type of lifestyle change he's on, read this. If you have any type of heart disease, I highly recommend reading and watching.

I was reading an article today and it stated: "four out of five consumers believe that their weight gain is a result of their own failure to eat less or exercise more."

Here's what I know and tell people in my seminars: "Eat more!" 

The eat less, exercise more equation does not work for many reasons. First, you can eat more. No, not Snickers, Snackwells, and Skittles. However, if you are eating a healthy diet, you can and should eat a larger quantity of food and more frequently. I tell people: "If you are hungry, eat." Which of course, busts another myth ... eat any time of day. Yes, if you wake up at 3 in the morning and are hungry, by all means ... eat.

Most traditional diets fail because of the eat less part of the equation. If you are eating less, you will feel deprived and most likely are using willpower to eat less. 
Deprivation and willpower will only take you so far. At some point, you will give up. 

So, effective immediately, please ignore eat less, exercise more!

In an earlier post, I stated that I do not eat fast food. Once you observe presentations like this, it's very easy to ... Just say no!
