FACT: Buying organic is NOT the answer!

I wanted to quickly share a conversation a friend and I had recently.  We were discussing the health benefits of buying whole, organic foods…
 
… when she sadly commented “It’s a shame whole foods have so many more calories than diet foods.”
 
HuH?
 
She went on to explain that the organic ice cream she buys has 330 calories per serving, while the “regular” ice cream has a much smaller amount of calories per serving.
 
Just minutes later she said she still buys sugar-free pancake syrup, just because she can’t afford the calories that organic maple syrup carries with it.
 
I want you to know…
 
Buying organic is NOT how you drop body fat!
 
There are plenty of foods labeled organic that do NOT create body fat loss.
 
Is it better to eat organic maple syrup than sugar free syrup?
 
Yes.
 
Is it better to eat organic ice cream rather than conventional ice cream?
 
Sure.
 
But just because something says it’s organic, doesn’t mean it’s good for your body.
 
You can’t feed your body ice cream, syrup, and other foods and assume that because they’re labeled “organic”, you’re good to go.

The whole point of eating organic is to give your body the clean, whole, nutrient-rich food it craves.

You need to be eating a balanced blend of clean, chemical-free complex carbohydrates (like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and whole grains)…

Lean proteins (like chicken, eggs, turkey, fish, or legumes)…

And non-processed fats (like avocado, olive oil, fish oil, nuts, and natural peanut butter).

When you eat things like syrup - which is going to be a whole lot of sugar - a simple, non-complex carbohydrate - that’s going to be converted into energy inside your body in lightning speed… and there’s no way for you to use all that energy.  It’s going to be stored as FAT in your body.

Don’t get me wrong… when you decide to indulge in something decadent… ice cream, or pancakes with syrup, or chips & guacamole… eating organic is THE way to go.

That way, at least the sugar you’re putting in your body is just that: sugar.  You’re not getting high fructose corn syrup and other “junk” that your body doesn’t know what to do with.

But really… most of the time, stick to vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs, whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, black beans.  All those foods that have TONS of value that your body craves.

THAT’S what true organic eating is.

And when you do that… when you focus on foods that build up and nurture your body… guess what?

Calories aren’t so much of an issue any more.

You will naturally begin to shed body fat as you feed your body what it truly needs to function at an optimal level.

You’ll have energy.

You’ll want to move your body more.

You’ll feel GOOD about your body.

You won’t be bloated or swollen…

…bottom line, eating those whole foods are THE only way to nurture your body so that it effortlessly drops
weight.

Then… when you indulge in that high-calorie organic ice cream… well, your body will be running so
efficiently that there won’t be any need to check that label for calories.
