Why No Cheese?
You can imagine many things, but giving up cheese is just not one of those things, is it? The strong pungent smell and delicious flavor of it – how can you go without it?
This is all a matter of perspective. Changing your view on food and changing your habits can literally change your life. Cleaning up your body by starting with your palate is one of the most liberating and life-changing things you can do.
Why – isn’t that a bit exaggerated?
Not at all!
It is life-changing because you free yourself of the pull that all these intense flavors that different foods have on you. You cut the cords of the cravings that tie you to certain foods, and for anyone who has been a slave to chocolate, candy, cheese or chips, or at the very least been held under the thumb of these cravings – this is a game changer.
So what is it about cheese that needs to be given up?
Take a slice of cheddar cheese for example: It has 113 calories in one slice (10z)(28g). To calculate the fat calories is very easy. There are 9 calories per 1 gram of fat. Cheddar has 9g of fat. That is 81 calories. What is the percentage of the fat calories from the total calories per serving. Divide the fat calories by total calories. That is then 81 divided by 113, and then multiply by 100.
Wow! That is a whopping 72%.
That means that 72% of the cheese you are eating is made up of fat, and the most part of that fat is saturated. So what does this mean?
The optimal clean, health and weight loss eating plan is based on nearly all food items having about 10-15% of their calories coming from fat, any more than that is not a food found in its natural form outside, unless its avocados or nuts, which are eaten in small doses. Any other foods that have fat calories exceeding 10-15% of the total calories damages not only your health, but at the same time packs on the pounds.
Your body stores weight willingly and will store every single gram that pushes you over the 10% mark.
Cheese is one of those highly addicting food products that contain too much fat, especially saturated fat which is known to clog your arteries and cause many other health issues. Take the plunge and do a complete cleansing diet for 28 days and you will reap the benefits. You will clean your palate, release bundles of energy and not want to turn back. You will discover the lightness and joy of being able to eat wonderful food that frees you from your cravings and your weight problem.
