Conscious Consumption
So I’ve been "dieting" for the last three months and one thing that I’ve noticed is that my eating is a very conscious moment. I’m am much more aware of what it is that I am putting into mouth and how much I am putting into my mouth. One of my discoveries in shopping is genuine organic food! When I started eating meat and vegetables(as if I should have EVER stopped…) I was amazed at how poisonous the food I used to eat was.
America tells us that we can eat fast food and tons of sugar every day and "be happy." For the longest I had been resigned to eating "food" and not caring about what it could possibly be doing to me. However now as I eat and taste the quality of Whole Foods natural products I am disgusted and literally sickened at times to think that I even put HFCS based products in my mouth!
The old adage, "You are what you eat." has never been more accurate than today. As I see subtle(wish I wish they were blinding) changes in my physique I realize now how what I eat makes all the difference in how I look, feel and most importantly live.
