___________________________________________________________

The reason people get fat is that they eat too much. One pound equals about 3600 calories. If you don’t work it off you get to keep it with you. If you multiply your weight by 10 that is approximately how many calories you work off each day if you are an average person.

If you weigh 200 lbs then your normal body burns up 2000 calories. If you eat 2100 calories a day you will gain a pound every 36 days. If you eat 1900 calories a day you will lose a pound every 36 days. These are not exact numbers and some days you burn more calories than others but these numbers are pretty reliable.

People say their hormones make them fat, it runs in the family or they are big boned and can’t help it, but none of that is true. Hormones can make you hungry, medicines can make you hungry even heredity can make you hungry but how much you put in your mouth is what determines how much you weigh.

One thing that became popular on the health diet circut was pasta. Meatless was said to be better for you. Pasta has it’s place but too many carbs is not good.

I really think people have gotten fat because they don’t have adults with the time and energy to plan, shop, and cook meals at home anymore. Cooking is a forgotten art in some families.

Read the book “Wheat Belly” for what some say is the real reason.
