Suppose you love to eat meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas. You go for a check up and tell your doctor that every time you eat peas, you break out in hives... and then you find out your cholesterol is high, and you are 40 lbs. overweight.
He tells you simple advice. "Don't eat peas because you are allergic to them. You have to lose weight and you need to avoid beef because your cholesterol is too high." There goes your favorite meal right out the window.....for now anyway.
Change is not always permanent....is not always for the best....but it does clear your mind from clutter and worry if you attack it at face value. Less meat is good for your heart... literally. Peas and mashed potatoes are carbs you can really do without. As you see the inches melt away, your body will be healthier. Learning control is also a good skill which will allow you to re-introduce these foods once you have learned how to eat them in the right portions.
Perspective....it's a beautiful thing!
