What do we really need to eat? We hear so many things about what to eat and what not to eat. The food pyramid keeps changing according to who is spending the most on lobbyists in Washington. What is a person to believe? I have a friend who was a nutritionist, counseling people on their diets. She told me she had clients who would follow her instructions to the letter and not get better or even get worse! Then there would be those who would eat whatever they darn well pleased and would improve! She finally left the field when the ‘standards’ kept changing every year.

The body breaks foods down into usable forms for the body. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, fructose and galactose which are used as energy or stored as fat. Lipids (fats) break down into monoglycerides and fatty acids. Proteins break down into peptides and amino acids. Then there are vitamins, minerals and water that the body uses. That is it. The slice of cake breaks down just as the rice cake does. The Turkey breaks down just as the roast beef. The butter and the Crisco both breakdown. What is all the hoopla about? What is going on?

I have seen overly obese people who could gain weight on a liquid diet. Then there are those who can eat a $100 worth of groceries every week and not gain a pound.

What I see going on is that no one is taking emotions into consideration. Our emotions control more than the average person realizes. The grossly overweight person who gains weight no matter what diet they go on may very well have an issue about protection. That layer of fat is there to protect them. No way are they going to lose that. The real issue has to be addressed. What exactly do they need protection from? It may be childhood issues of abuse or it may be a bad marriage. It is interesting that the few lesbians (two couples and a single). I have known were all fat and came out of abusive heterosexual relationships.
