Weight Loss

In my experience as a personal trainer, weight loss was the number one reason why people started an exercise program.  I often hear of people trying to count calories and fat and wonder why they can’t lose weight.

Many health professionals are finally starting to look at issues that involve something other than counting calories and fat.  Problems with weight and obesity can be routed in a couple different problems, however, when I look at the way Americans eat, I wonder why there are so few of us having problems with weight.  Have you ever looked at the ingredients in processed foods or fast foods?  MSG is sometimes a hidden ingredient in the flavoring of processed foods.  Some doctors say that MSG and artificial sweeteners have some influence in weight problems and obesity. 

In upcoming posts we will continue to explore other problems with the American diet.
