“If you refuse to go shopping, you’re stuck!” says Dr. Phyllis Mendel in my “Spiritual Guide to Weight Loss<\/a>” video<\/a>. What I think she means is that if you depend on restaurants, fast food joints, or snack bars for all of your meals you’re bound to only get a
\nlot of greasy, over-cooked, high-calorie food. It’s very hard, if not
\nimpossible, to realize your goal of losing excess weight and maintaining
\nit with such food as your primary diet. Your choices are limited as
\nwell.<\/p>\n

If you make a short visit to your local grocery store every day or two,
\nyou can get many healthier, fresher foods. You have a huge range of
\nchoices. You’ll save a lot of money, too. Just getting out of the house
\nand doing a little walking up and down the aisles will get your blood
\nflowing. You might see or make a friend in the process.
\nBy shopping for your own food you will naturally, instinctively begin to choose and eat in a
\nhealthier, more conscious way.
\nCooking yourself (even if only minimally) lets you totally control your
\ncarbs, fats, salts, and sugars. If everything’s already prepared for
\nyou, then you give up control.
