Worst Diet in 2012

DIET 101: Topped worst list in 2012 

I'm very proud to announce that my current nutrition plan (diet) was listed in the top WORST diets in 2012.

Congratulations and hooray!  That's a sign I'm on the right track.

I'm not sure who voted and who tracked the votes.  I don't know the 
criteria used or the questions in the poll.

What I do know is today's eating trends are based on habits and 
availability.  I also know that companies who manufacture foods add 
certain things to the food that makes our body want to eat more of 
it.  And it's true that GMO foods are more common and may be
more acceptable.  

Eating well is not easy - if it were, 33% of the population wouldn't 
be obese.  Medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at
$147B in 2008 (yikes!).

Our society is not healthy.  So if a vote was taken by these same
people who aren't healthy and my diet is rated the worst, you can
get an idea of why this is good news to me.

Because the diet that works best for me was voted down, I'll 
share with you in upcoming posts how I made the choice 
and why it's changed my life.
  
I used to experience fatigue, difficulty staying trim, sugar 
cravings, acne, and cold/heat symptoms.  My diet is not for 
everyone but it definitely works and works well for me. 

It wasn't easy to arrive here and really, I was forced to - hay fever and
colds were a constant if I fell off the wagon.

More to come...

PS  If LDL is a 'bad' cholesterol, why is it in us to begin with and 
what function does it serve the body?
