We have all heard this phrase many times. There are countless jokes on the topic, in fact we can always raise a laugh by commenting on what a friend is eating… If they are eating a piece of pig or cow it is really easy…

“You are what you eat” is true in different ways

I like this PhenQ review because it is providing all the relevant information about the supplement. It is beneficial to do some exercise with the product to get a reduction in the fat from the body. The meeting of the requirements related to the fat elimination is possible for the people.

But how much have we thought about this? The phrase is true on different levels. From a scientific point of view, the food we eat is transformed into body tissues. For example, a vegan will have muscle fiber that has been created with the raw material from plants, beans or nuts. Whilst in school we are taught that we have separate distinct food groups, it really isn’t true. Meat doesn’t equal protein. We can find protein in different food groups.

Elephant’s are vegetarians! (Herbivores). At school we are taught that vegetables equal fiber, but when we analyse the structure of fruit and vegetables we find a long list of protein, carbohydrate, fiber, vitamins, minerals as well as phytonutrients and chemical structures that scientists do not even properly understand!

On a practical level, the phrase “you are what you eat” tends to refer to general health. For example, if we eat lots of “junk food”, we get a “junk body”. Eat healthy food full of vitality and you will be full of health and vitality… This is the most practical use of the phrase.

So, how is your diet? The answer involves proportions or percentages. If you eat lots of raw and partially cooked fruit and vegetables, plus lean meat, and you avoid processed foods, then this article probably wont be news to you. But you still deserve a pat on the back.

WELL DONE!

Then there are the junk food slobs who live on junk food and really don’t care… I will not discuss these kinds of people because they won’t be bothering to read this anyway!

Then we have the large majority of people. Those who are AWARE of the benefits of healthy eating, but are not SEEING the benefits of it.

Are you one of the people who make excuses?

Are you one of the people who finds themselves saying things like:

I’m too busy to cook so I end up eating fast food, take-away meals, delivery meals or ready meals! I don’t have enough money and organic food is expensive. My diet isn’t that bad, I eat some fruit and vegetables with my unhealthy food. My diet is bad, but I make up for it by taking multivitamins!

I have a suggestion to help you get an idea of what your diet is really like!

Let me make a suggestion, why don’t you keep a food diary for a week. No big deal, just keep a small notepad in your pocket. Nothing too taxing on the brain, NO counting calories, figuring out fat grams, or keeping a points score whilst estimating the weight of food already served. Lets make this really easy.

You will need:

1) A small notepad.

2) A pen.

3) A highlighter pen.

If these 3 items are a problem, do not use this as a stumbling block, just improvise! For one week, write a list of every item you eat. Don’t write “salad”, write lettuce, cheese, egg, salad dressing etc. Don’t write “roast beef meal”, write roast beef, roast potatoes, gravy etc

Include snacks, sweets, and drinks

At the end of the week. Take the highlighter pen, and highlight anything fried, processed (made in a factory in a packet with a list of ingredients), anything containing refined sugar, refined flour, or artificial additives and chemicals.
