Millions of people would love to lose weight, so you are not the only one feeling as such. I for one would love to shed some pounds to fit into my skinny clothes I haven’t worn in years.

We all know how hard we have to suffer to drop a few pounds, either exercise or starve ourselves for a few months. Moreover, we all heard of all the methods we get bombarded by the TV ads: pills, shakes, energy bars, diets, and so on. Nowadays you can even get your diet delivered right at your doorstep, for a big amount of money of course. Do all these diet methods work? Sure they do, but only if we follow the instructions rigorously.

People became really inventive with ways to get thin fast. Therefore, there is a huge business out there created to lose weight. So how come thousands of Americans are still very large, despite all the means that guarantee weight loss? The answer is, simply because they love to eat the wrong foods.

Looking back into the 80s and even before then, everybody seemed to be a lot thinner. What happened in twenty or so years? The answer is: the revolution of fast processed foods. We feed ourselves hundreds more calories than what our bodies need.

Back when my mother used to be a housewife and cooked everything from scratch, I used to be 20 lb thinner. Once I moved out and begun a life on my own, I begun to pile up the pounds. Obviously my metabolism changed and so did my life style. I work in an office long hours, I don’t have time to exercise, and I eat the wrong foods.

I tend to believe that twenty years ago foods were far better quality, even though they were not as tastier as today. And why was the food not as tastier as today? It contained far less sugar and fat. Back then, the animals were not fed hormones to grow overnight and our vegetables and fruits were organic. That was a natural and healthy way of living.

I believe that if you want to lose weight, the answer is to buy organic food and cook it yourself. Yes it does take time to cook, but the food is a lot healthier. Not only you will lose weight moving around in the kitchen preparing your food, but you will also lose weight eating it too. Think about it, isn’t it ironic, losing weight while eating? Now, that doesn’t make much sense.

You might say buying organic food is expensive. Yes it is, but so is eating five Big Macs at McDonald’s. Of course, if you want to lose weight, you’ll have to reduce the number of homemade burgers too, from five to two.

So I say, let’s go back to the way things used to be for thousands of years, when we ate fresh and organic food cooked in our own kitchen. The world was a better place back then not to forget to mention a lot thinner too!
