5 Reasons to Subscribe to TheBizOfKnowledge Crash diets, drugs, over-the-counter or otherwise, surgery - all are drastic measures to lose weight. Two out of three Americans are overweight, obese, fat, in danger of dying from high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal blood fats, coronary artery disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, cancer, fatty liver disease, gall bladder disease. More fun than dying, how about some simple dietary changes: 1. Think energy density - eat foods that are big in size and few in calories. A tablespoon of butter = 20 leaves of lettuce. A big complex-carb muffin vs a dark chocolate bar. 2. Choose healthy foods - veggies, fruits, grains, lean meats 3. Eat the right carbs - one half to two thirds of the diet can be carbs if they are the right ones....filling, too. "Complex, high-fiber carbohydrates, such as whole-grain bread and pasta, brown rice, and other grains, such as oatmeal."
