<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 1560656, member: 4336&quot;]I usually eat whole foods, prepare and cook my own, it helped me lose 104 lbs when I was obese. Thanks for your advice Tom b, I know we have had our disagreements and arguments, I truly apologize for that. I think I&#039;m over letting others influence my opinions on coins, I hope that doesn&#039;t change. This, unfortunately, isn&#039;t the case in other areas of my life. To give you an example of how damaging process foods are. I ate yakisoba with veggies, pre packed, just microwave. Reading the label, 1/2 the bag (from the sauce and noodles and sesame oil, it&#039;s not high in fat, just salt) has 31% DV (daily value) or 1/3 of my salt intake for the entire day! I rarely eat much processed foods now, if I did I would probably gain all my weight back. Well, guess what, most people read the label, maybe skip the serving size, and assume the whole bag (it comes packaged as one bag, not separated in half.you can see the portion confusion for Americans better now...) it even says to microwave the whole bag, making you think the whole bag is one serving . Nope. To get that 1/3 DV (which is ALOT of salt) you got to microwave it, then evenly seperated it into 2 equal portions! No wonder Americans are so fat! Look at the portions size and the confusion!! Way to big! How big is a meat serving of lean meat like white meat turkey breast or lean pork chops ? 4 oz. the size of a deck of cards!! So, I ate the 2 portions. That&#039;s now 62% DV sodium intake. (Salt). I had a lean steak and cheese burrito too, I call them &quot;barf in a bag&quot;, since that&#039;s what they look like. That had 31% DV sodium in a small burrito. Now I&#039;ve used up a whopping 93% DV intake of salt for the day in 2 process foods!! That&#039;s a whole days worth in only 800 kcal (calories), a decent size breakfast. The only way now to balance it out is to stick with lean meats (or some protein powder), fruits, veggies, legumes , and complex carbs like 100% whole wheat bread, and some healthy fat like almonds (preferably unsalted, I like dry roasted) . Now imagine how much of this processes crap most Americans eat. I&#039;m self studying biochemistry and dietetics (nutrition) and going to college to become a RD (registered dietician , NOT a nutritionist, a dietitian needs a 4 year BA or BS , most hold MS or MA degrees and are experts in nutrition and how it applies to disease. It&#039;s very expensive, not much pay, being obese As i was i feel it&#039;s right for me, you have to pay thousands of dollars for your 2200 hours of internship. Yep, I have to PAY them! Very competitive field . After that I need to pass a test to become a registered part, and every year retake it as well as continue college credits every year, yep...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
