If you're confused about what to eat in order to lose weight and feel great, then it's time you discovered which diet is right for you!

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on America's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.

The nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.

 

In the video above, a doctor demonstrates that so called healthy whole-grain cereals actually contain metal filings in order to increase the nutritional value of iron content. To me this is just another example of how big agribusiness and the industrial food industry do not have your family's best interests in mind.

I'm not a big fan of breakfast cereals due to the fact that most of them are loaded with sugar, preservatives and gluten. I try to discourage my clients from eating them, however the food industry has done a damn fine job convincing us that cereal is part of a healthy breakfast.

What do I recommend to eat for breakfast?

We are conditioned through the media to believe that breakfast should include items such as cereal, toast, muffins, donuts, coffee and juice. But breakfast is no different than any other meal of the day, in that what you are doing is simply giving your body the fuel it needs to create energy to carrying out it's metabolic activities efficiently.

This means that foods you eat for lunch and dinner can also be eaten for breakfast, such as fish, steamed or raw veggies, salads, nuts, steak or chicken.

This may seem a little strange at first eating these foods in the morning, but once you begin giving your body the right mix of fuel you will no longer need to use caffeine throughout the day to keep your self going and your moods, mental clarity and insatiable food cravings will be a thing of the past.

Oh, and you also won't be setting off metal detectors at the airport with your belly!
