3 Ways 'Going with the Flow' Will Make You Fat - And What To Do About It!

Wanna know the truth?

If youre going to be slim, youre going to have to swim against the current. Youre going to have to take charge of your body and make your own decisions cause if you go with the flow today, I guarantee that youre going to be fat.

Here are 3 reasons why:

#1) Rampant Portion Sizes

Supersize it, Biggie Fries, Value Meal, Super Big Gulp phrases that we use so commonly, its hard to believe that wed have to explain what they mean to someone from another era.

Restaurants have blown their portion sizes so big in the name of providing value that one meal could feed a small soccer team.

Considering that your stomach is roughly the size of your fist (but thank goodness it stretches!), the portion sizes you get today in the average restaurant could probably fill 5 or more stomachs.

But were told to get our moneys worth right?

So go ahead and eat up. That way you can spend your money going to the doctor for obesity related health problems later. Thats truly getting your moneys worth!

#2) Diet as Religion

Diets boast a stellar 2-5% success rate (thats a 98% FAILURE rate by the way). And yet if an alien landed in North America, he (or she) would be convinced that our society must be built on the value of dieting.

Billboards, magazines, books, television shows, ads, even restaurant menuseverywhere you look youre inundated with the latest diet, diet food or diet plan. Diets are touted as the ONLY solution to weight loss.

We have more diets on the market now than ever before. We have more people on a diet now than ever before and yet we continue to get fatteris there ANY POSSIBLE connection here?

#3) Escalator Generation

Go with the flow and youll enjoy a multitude of worldly conveniences. You can microwave your dinner in 5 minutes, load your dishwasher in 2 and pay the dog walker in 1.

You dont have to walk to the store - just hop in the car. Your kids dont have to go swimming theyve got a new Xbox game. Dont bother taking the stairs because theres an elevator.

You can sit at a desk for long hours without even getting up from your chair. And when you do come home from work you have the luxury of flopping on the couch and watching Friends while eating takeout.

Go with the flow my friend and youll expend less energy while eating more. Oh - and youll also be told that taking a pill is the only way to solve the problem of your ever-increasing waistline.

One of the best photographs I ever saw was of the front of a gym. There was a staircase leading up to the gym with an escalator beside it. And you guessed it people were taking the escalator UP to the gym! The only guy on the stairs was walking DOWN them. That pretty much sums up the problem.

Unfortunately, if you go with the flow in our world today, chances are very high that youre going to get fat. BUT by knowing what youre up against, you can take steps to go against the flow. By taking a stand, taking charge and making positive choices for your body you can live slim and healthy in a world skewed towards weight gain.
