Weight Loss and Natural Food

There’s a lot written in books and magazines about the benefits of eating naturally and its effect on weight loss or weight maintenance.
Vegetarians, Zen, and those who preach the benefits of vegetal proteins, everyone has something to say and certainly they are very constructive in some way.
But like it or not, westerners are not always well prepared to address a food diet originated in the East and to enjoy the many benefits they provide. We come from another culture, another history and other physical activities, of those who had remained without animal protein for 1000’s of years in their diets. Even, we have a different sexual culture and the sports we practice were unknown in the remote past.

Until an average western, decides to start with vegetarianism (or other system), at least have already passed 20 years of his life, on a feeding system that includes animal protein, dairy, red meat, sugar and very different habits and lifestyle than in Orient.
Therefore it is always quite traumatic, to follow with the new system of food, since our bodies keep cellular memory of what we have been eating for many years. Of course I am not saying that Zen or vegetarianism are bad. They are simply quite difficult for an average Westerner. If you see, there are many TV starts, which are constantly testing these systems but again and again returning to the Western habits.

If we have the right to kill animals for food, is a subject of much controversy and each person has different views on this matter.

I think the best thing we can do to keep us in shape, is to mitigate the excesses that the way we eat has. Perhaps reducing the amount of sugar, red meat, desserts, alcohol and some social food such as snacks.
With the help of your nutrition specialist, you can deal with a feeding system as healthy as the eastern, and better suited for your physical needs, your history and your memory cell.
