My mom sent me a link to a free internet video called Hungry For Change. She said it was about 90 mins but really worth watching. I thought I'd watch the 3 minute trailer and then decide for myself if I wanted to sit and watch it. WOW! I'm so glad I did! Lately I've had these thoughts of eating natural, whole foods. I know it would be better for me and my family, but I just feel overwhelmed not knowing where to start. While I still don't have a how-to plan, I do have facts to back up why I need to be eating better!
*This video is only free to watch online until tomorrow, 3/31*
Here's the link to the website. Watch the 3 minute trailer and decide if you're up for watching the 90 min video. I had to do it after the kids went to bed. I'm hoping Kevin is off Saturday night and can watch the video. I sent him a mile long text last night telling him how I was so impressed with this video. I told him I'd like to, as a family, try this way of eating for 30 days and see how we feel and look and see if it's something we want to continue. I have a feeling it will be... but I know we both need to be on board for it to fly! (Kinda like we were about getting debt free!)
I did take notes during the video.... here are a few things I wrote down that I found interesting... (I have a whole page of notes!)
- MSG is in 80% of processed foods and it is disguised by 50 different names.
- The average American consumes 150lbs of sugar every year.
- As a society we are over fed, but under nourished and starving to death.
- What we think of as "sugar" needs to be redefined. Sugar is in our milk and our bread and everything we eat!
- "Fat" use to be the enemy, so now everything is "fat-free". The real enemy is sugar. When something says it's fat-free, that usual means it's loaded with sugar.
