TLC diet a little mental exercise

Let’s start this beginner guide on the with TLC dieth a little mental exercise. When you go out, look around you and tell me what you see. I bet you will see an abundance of fast-food restaurants and guess what’s in front of them? You guessed it…A never-ending line of people.  

Fast food joints are known for serving up a dish of unhealthy food – unhealthy food that people continue to consume. Why? Because they can! People choose fast food because they live a busy life and are under the impression that they can’t go home and cook a healthy meal because it will take hours to do.  

This unhealthy lifestyle leads to obesity. 

The health risks of being obese include: 
 Heart disease 
 Type 2 diabetes 
 Osteoarthritis 
 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease 
 High blood pressure 
 Stroke 

Reasons People Are Unhealthy 

 Most work available is white-collar 
 Children now spend more time playing digital games instead of playing outside 
 The foods low-income families can afford are unhealthy 
 The serving sizes of unhealthy drinks have increased 
 People buy more fast food and prepare fewer meals in their kitchen 

This list could go on and on … 

There’s an old Chinese proverb that does a good job at explaining why we need to watch what we put in our mouths. “When you’re thirsty, it’s too late to dig a well.” What this is saying is that you
should not wait until you have an illness to start a diet, because by then, it may be too late.
