Читать книгу Carb Curfew: Cut the Carbs after 5pm and Lose Fat Fast! - Joanna Hall - Страница 5

There is no doubt that temptation is thrown at us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Supermarkets re-circulate the smells of their bakery ovens back into the store, ready-prepared foods are becoming more and more convenient and fast food ever more accessible with tempting fare brought right to our front door.

The world we live in today is perpetually stimulating our minds, eyes and taste buds to eat more than we need – to the point where we are almost living in a food-toxic environment. At the same time our society enables us to become less and less active. We are under pressure to achieve more things in one day but the irony is with the wonders of modern technology this results in us expending less physical energy – little wonder then that obesity is rising so dramatically.

Everybody knows that a healthy diet makes sense – not just for today but also for our future health and well-being. But somehow our good intentions never seem to have much staying power. Perhaps it is the thought of a life without a curry or the thought of an existence of carrot sticks and lettuce leaves, but the whole process can seem very unappealing. It’s enough to make you reach for the pizza home delivery number and the TV remote control!

But living a healthy life does not mean you have to live a life without chocolate or alcohol. Carb Curfew is about losing weight whilst living the life you wish to live. It is about making small changes matter. It is about knowing how to make dietary choices that work for you. In short, it is about applying a bit of know-how so that you can have your cake and eat it.
