You know, I'm sick of all these dam lose weight commercials I see every day. They are the biggest money making scams out there! We are just bombarded with drugs and lose weight programs constantly. I don't want to start off talking about that though, lets first talk about how we have gotten to this point. What I first want to talk about is all the processed food we eat daily, it makes me sick thinking about it. When you enter a grocery store, I would have to say over 75% of the food is garbage. It's just plain inedible, not for the human body to stay healthy.

Kroger is working on their organic section and healthy food products though, as for Meijer and Wall Mart, haven't seen anything new down their food isles. Personally I think our Government and FDA need to work on regulating this food. It's almost as if they are in cahoots with these food companies. You can look at it this the same was as the oil companies, we could of switched to electric powered vehicles, but we still have gas powered vehicles. Hmmm wonder why, because the oil companies are making billions off of us. Same goes for food, they keep selling this crappy food in our grocery store because there's a billion dollar market in weight loss and medicine.

Think about it, you eat the garbage food, become obese and overweight. In order to become healthy again you're programmed to think from watching TV and the Internet you must take drugs or get on a weight loss program. I don't want to dog on all the weight loss programs out there, there are some good ones, but a lot of them just aren't practical. For instance the weight loss program Marie Osmond promotes. The average American can't afford this weight loss program, just the thought of having food delivered to your door is stupid. This is a good way to go in debt and chances are you will quit it before you even shed of five pounds of weight.

Another thing I have noticed, these weight loss programs don't talk about how Marie Osmond works out every day to stay fit, you need to do this to keep the weight off and keep a toned body. They're basically just telling us "hop on my program and you're body will magically lose weight." No, you need to do cardio too, the thing most people don't want to do.

Then there's the drug side. Your doctor or some nut in a TV commercial might say hop on this drug. You do, guess what, you'll be taking drugs for the rest of your life if you go down this road. Everyone's body develops side effects from drugs, then you'll be taking a drug to get rid of the side effect from the weight loss drug. This is not the way to go. It's very unnatural too, Doctors don't know what this could do to your body down the road.

None of these programs are the way to go, because they keep you hooked on their overpriced programs. So what can you do to start losing weight you might ask? Read!!! Plain and simple, read up on the healthy food you can eat. I try to give tips out on great food you can buy from some grocery stores such as Kroger. But don't read for to long, because staying on the computer and being immobile is one of the leading causes to obesity. People just aren't getting the cardio they need every day. You don't need to buy into all this crap, I'm telling you! Everything you need know is in your reach right now, just stop being lazy and read up on it. There has to be over a thousand health blogs you can read up on if you type in the keywords "health blog" on Google.

Here's a another big tip too! You're gonna have to want to lose weight to, you need motivation. Writing out a schedule on a small calendar would be really helpful to keep you on track and motivated. Trying out a new weight loss program every month just won't keep you hooked, believe me. You need to find some kind of motivation to keep your mind set on losing weight. Some guys like hanging up posters of Arnold Schwarzenegger or putting a TV in front of them when they go on the treadmill. You need to find yours! That's a major element you need to keep a healthy body, none of these drugs or weight loss programs will tell you this!
