Traditional southern food can be unkind to sedentary living. Get out and burn it off, break a sweat as your body was intended. The salt will be sweated out, the fat used as fuel instead of stored. That’s the problem, it’s a diet for an active, hardworking people.

I have to say they all work like rented mules. Not much fat on them. (Did I mention scratch made cakes and pies? Homemade ice-cream, too.)
I think that’s it exactly. Hard physical labor (not just workouts at the gym) will get your body to use just about any food as effectively as possible.
