Why I Put Chocolate Frosting on My Toasts Part II
By Nick Pineault
I was freaking out. Literally.
And it didn’t feel good at all.
I had just finished another documentary about our food supply, and just
discovered that everything I had learned in the media was DEAD WRONG.
My entire world had just shifted around.
Artificial sweeteners caused cancer instead of making me lean. My favorite
breakfast cereals were the worst breakfast I could ever eat. The fruits and
veggies I had in my plate were sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and other
nasty chemicals. GMOs were lurking somewhere in my pantry, waiting to get me
for good.
“Every food around is bad. What the %$/? can I eat?”
“I guess I’ll just drink water…”
I was satisfied with this for a couple hours, until I read an article about tap water
and how it now contains traces of birth control pills and aspartame that’s not
filtered at the water treatment plant.
I was freaking out. That was the real problem.
This “freaking-out-ness” is the #1 reason people fail to lose weight, change their
eating habits and achieve any health and fitness goal.
Food around us is screwed up. That’s a fact.
Our food supply is “contaminated” with bad stuff, and corporations won’t stop
making money just to make you healthier anytime soon.
How you react to this sad reality will dictate how lean or how healthy you will ever
get:
Option #1: Freak out. Try to change every single food you eat overnight, and
develop a really unhealthy relationship with food where you consider “bad food”
evil, and feel guilty every time you eat something that’s “forbidden”.
Option #2: Understand that all these chemicals and nasty foods will not only
NEVER kill you instantly, but that eating them do not define who you are.
Then, follow this blueprint to a “freak-out-free” life:
A) Get educated. Stop trusting everything you hear from the media, from me, or
from anyone else. In my very biased opinion, Healthy or Not is the best resource
for that.
B) Get real. You can’t change everything all at once. Focus on changing 1 thing
every month, instead of throwing away 95% of what’s in your fridge and ending
up feeling overwhelmed.
C) Get cooking. Stop focusing on how you can avoid this weekly night out with
your friends. You can choose to make healthier choices at restaurant and drink
one less beer, but nothing will make as much of a difference as what you eat
during the week – 80% of the time.
Focus on changing your habits. Grab a new cookbook, and try things out.
You’ll screw up. You’ll waste food. You’ll feel like this is taking all your time and
energy. But you’ll get around it, and will start to like it a lot when people around
you start to compliment you about your healthy and tasty meals.
While you’re at it, try to enjoy the process. Be curious. Be proud that you take
action. You can do it, one habit at a time.
Keep it simple and healthy,
Nick
