CURVE YOUR APPETITE.

Dumping the fake stuff and relishing real food will make you feel better, help you drop pounds, and most importantly, take all the fear out of what you eat. Does that sound too good to be true? It isn’t—despite the fact that lately we’ve given up ripe vegetables for the canned stuff; tossed out sweet, tart orange juice for pasteurized concentrate; traded fresh fish for boil-in-a-bag dinners; and replaced real desserts with supersweet snacks that make us feel ridiculously overfed but definitely disappointed. The result? Most of us are overweight or obese—or heading that way; more and more of us suffer from diabetes, clogged arteries, and even bad knees. We eat too much of the fake stuff, yet we’re still hungry. And not satisfied.

Who hasn’t tried to change all that? Who hasn’t walked into a supermarket and thought, I’m going to eat better from now on? So you load your cart with whole-grain crackers, fish fillets, and asparagus. Sure, you have a few barely satisfying meals before you think, Hey, life’s too short for this! And soon enough, you’re back to square one. For real change, you need a real plan. It’s in your hands.


Real Food Has Curves

We’re a country in an obesity epidemic, a country of chronic overeaters: in a constant flurry to find the real, eating too much, finding little to satisfy, and doing it all again. One Way to Buck the Trend All is not lost. There are ways to eat out without resorting to soft, tasteless food. In general, look for a small restaurant where someone is not just

Quaffing tepid leek water, who wouldn’t lose weight? Besides, maybe certain Parisian women are thin, but most suffer from the same eating and weight problems the rest of us do.7 Why would anyone buy into a system based on so many lies? Especially when.… Deprivation Diets Fail Deprivation is not a motivator. It’s a blocking mechanism. And once we remove the block, the pent-up desire goes nuts. Or worse yet, quiets to depression. Who’s going to keep drinking leek water? Or not eating chocolate?

Which is one of the reasons industrial food chemists are keen on getting really sweet stuff into what we eat. We want more, we buy more.
