Stop The Junk Food

Salads are the mainstay of many a diet and happy dieters around the globe would not be happy unless their fridges were full of cucumbers, lettuce and beetroot! Many of these dieters may have been aware already that by eating salad with every meal their metabolic rate increases which results in greater fat burn.

What will shock a lot of dieters out there is that salads can negate the harmful effects of the dreaded junk foods! Junk foods on their own are lethal to weight loss efforts, they are completely saturated with empty calories that your body will never burn off that will eventually turn into fat and excess weight, but by eating salad along with your junk food amazingly the weight potential is either offset completely or minimalized!

If you are wondering how salads can be this effective at stopping or controlling weight gain you have to look at certain chemical transactions that happen or in some cases don’t happen within the body.

To put it simply, the reason you become fat is because your body provides a protective reaction in order to save your life. All the junk food you eat, red meat, soda drinks, sweets, white bread etc all contain acids, these acids if left untreated could attack the body very quickly eventually resulting in an untimely death! The body finds these acids and wraps them in a protective layer of fat which neutralizes them. They are then stored in the body as fatty deposits.

Green vegetables, such as the sort you have in salads are full of alkalines. Now anyone who knows anything about chemical reactions will be able to tell you that alkalines and acids are opposite ends of a chemical spectrum and when opposed in equal proportions they will neutralize each other. The reasons why eating salad along with junk food is a wise choice should now be apparent.

If you are serious about losing weight you should avoid eating junk foods as much as possible but at least you now have an ally in the restaurant when you go out for a meal.

Right now the words on everybody’s lips are ‘Junk Food’ and there not talking about diets!

Try this, just for the heck of it. Once you\’ve started incorporating raw foods into your food plans, keep adding them in and reducing the number of cooked and processed foods from your diet. Especially things like fast food, chips, cookies and snacks.

After you\’ve done that for awhile, have a junk food day. If you really miss your junk food, or think you do, then plan for it. Make it truly memorable and junk-worthy. If we were gambling types, we\’d be willing to bet a LOT of money that mid-way through your junk food day, you\’ll stop.

Once you\’ve started incorporating raw foods into your diet, and getting most of your nutrition from them, and stayed with it for at least a week, junk food is just not going to have the same appeal to you. Because now you\’re thinking about what you\’re putting into your body. And if you really think about what junk food does to your body, all of a sudden it doesn\’t look so good.

You know, it just happens naturally. We\’ve started eating more and more raw foods in our home, and haven\’t been able to touch things like chicken or a hamburger in ages. First of all, we really feel pretty strongly about not eating animals. But have you ever read the warnings about handling chicken that you\’ve bought in the grocery store? Or ground meat? It\’s recommended that you wash your counters with BLEACH if you\’ve prepared meat on them. Now, do you really want to put something in your body that requires BLEACH to clean the germs from it off of surfaces in your home? Nope, when we see chicken now, all we see is germs. And there\’s no flavor to it anyway. So why bother? 

And other junk food we used to love just doesn\’t appeal to us any more. Nachos and cheese? Well, the cheese you use is so processed, it\’s nothing but corn syrup and processed cheese and fats and chemicals. We can feel our arteries grinding to a halt just looking at it. We don\’t even use dips for our vegetables any more. We really do enjoy the taste of vegetables and fruits all by themselves.
