REAL FOOD VS JUNK FOOD


REAL FOOD VS JUNK FOOD

Both of those images reflects an accumulated total of 1,300 calories



This is 200 calories of celery



This is 200 calories of candy bar


·         Real food regulates appetite – so you don’t overeat
·         Real food controls blood sugar/insulin – so you can avoid energy swings and diabetes
·         Real food provides the best nutrition – so you can remain healthy for life
·         Real food has a sane amount of energy – so that you can’t accidentally overeat
·         Real food has a longstanding relationship with our body – so that our bodies know what to do with it


If we eat 4 pounds of energy-controlled, whole, real food – we get lots of nutrition with a calorie count that our body can handle.

Most people in the U.S. are consuming (on average) the following amounts of food each day:
  • 2.0 pounds of meat, dairy and eggs
  • 1.5 pounds fruits and veggies
  • 0.5 pound grains
  • 0.5 pounds added sugars, fats and oils
This adds to 3,700 calories



Be smart, make good choices, stay healthy!
