Why is it hard to lose weight while eating processed foodsMost of us struggle to maintain a healthy weight. I had the opportunity to travel to some parts of the world. I noticed that most of the people of the Far East and Middle East in general, seem to be thinner than most Westerners. I also noticed that most of their food comes from natural sources, unprocessed. For the most part the edge markets with local produce, meat and fish.

In a recent statement from Asia, I was surprised with the big difference between my local super market and the markets we saw in China. Only a small part of my local store was full of produce, and certainly was not local and very fresh. Most of the space is used for packaged products. In other words processed.

A large amount of energy is devoted to processing, packaging and marketing of all products. They are designed to activate our instinct of self-gratifying to cancel our true need for nutrition.

So in the fight against unhealthy weight gain of excess fat, processed foods should be avoided above all! A return to a raw diet and all natural undoubtedly lead to a healthier and trimmer you!
