Let’s start this beginners guide on the TLC diet with a little mental exercise. When you go out, look around you and tell me what you see.
I bet you will see an abundance of fast food restaurants and guess what’s in front of them? You guessed it...A never-ending line of people.
Fast food joints are known for serving up a dish of unhealthy food – unhealthy food that people continue to consume.
Why? Because they can! People choose fast food because they live a busy life and are under the impression that they can’t go home and cook a healthy meal, because it will take hours to do.
This unhealthy lifestyle leads to obesity.
The health risks of being obese include:
Heart disease
TLC Diet Transformation
Type 2 diabetes
Osteoarthritis
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
High blood pressure
Stroke
Reasons People Are Unhealthy
Most work available is white-collar
Children now spend more time playing digital games instead of playing outside
The foods low-income families can afford are unhealthy
The serving sizes of unhealthy drinks have increased
People buy more fast food and prepare fewer meals in their kitchen
This list could go on and on .
There’s an old Chinese proverb that does a good job at explaining why we need to watch what we put in our mouths.
“When you’re thirsty, it’s too late to dig a well.” What this is saying is that you should not wait until you have an illness to start a diet, because by then, it may be too late.
