DAY TWENTY-SIX

Key Theme: INSIGHT

SWEETS

Sugar-laden foods; pastries, dessert-type foods, and sugar-based drinks are very poor quality and definitely contribute to weight problems and the host of complications of obesity. The question to ask is why these foods are so popular in spite of their danger to people’s health? It is because we are a society of dieters and reckless eaters— going hungry is common in our fast-paced lifestyle. So many of us are over hungry, and we naturally crave Pleasure Food to satisfy our biological need for sugar and fat. So, I’d have to blame the traditional quick-weight loss diets, and the very poor eating patterns of non-dieters for the preference so many have for Pleasure Foods. It’s not the food that directly causes obesity. It is the powerful biology behind the need for make-up eating.

“Overweight is seldom just desserts.”

Food for Thought: Real food is good for the sweet tooth.
