Welcome!

     Welcome to my page.  I am creating this as a resource for all of us to use share and explore. Truth be told, we all feel busy- sometimes more than others. The reality of it  is that we continuously sacrifice ourselves for our work, school or other passions; because of this many of us put food and positive lifestyle choices on the back burner. I want a place that you can turn to for information so you can improve various aspects of your lives by forming small habits little by little. I will be creating and posting video tips, and I will blog and link to relevant articles. I encourage you to ask questions, participate in discussions, and give any informational tips you have.

     I chose the above picture today because to me McDonald's is the Satan of food. Luring us in because its mmm mmm good  but leading us to feel guilt and adverse health effects. Their food does harm! I will just go ahead and rant about this because it is not just McD's but many fast food items in general! By just cutting fast-food temptations out of your life you can reduce your weight and increase your energy.

If you have children take a look at this photo:

Many children are fed McD's or other fastfood on a weekly basis because  parents want to treat their children or feel just too busy to prepare dinner that night. This starts early habit forming and not in a good way. After your child grows up and their metabolism slows fast food wont be so forgiving. Several people have done this experiment and it is enough to turn me away from this sorry excuse for food. After 1 year of leaving a happy meal out it did not decompose or mold or anything! McD's and other fastfoods are loaded with preservatives.. that you are eating.. and that is NOT GOOD. Take a look at the ingredients list can you pronounce half of the ingredients or define them?! Likely not.. this to me is a red flag  telling me to run in the opposite direction.  A photographer decided to take a daily photo for 2 years and the happy meal has not changed still! (by the way she is still taking pictures daily),

Guess what this is? Soft serve ice cream! NO. A snake! NO.  It's mechanically separated chicken. Want to know what is in it? Watch this...

That 10-piece, 30g of fat, 470 calorie (without dipping sauce)  nuggets don't sound so good anymore huh?

I could endlessly rant about the fallacies of fast food but the impact I want to leave you with  Is to RESIST  IT! For the sake of your health and your family's health.
