I've talked about this before, but it bears repeating.

Imagine yourself in your local grocery, standing in the bread aisle.  There must be 40 or more companies, each with 5 or 6 different types of bread.  You want a "healthy" bread but you don't know where to begin.

You start reading one package after another after another, until finally, you are exasperated and your head feels like it is going to explode.  You push them back on the shelves, grab the Entenmann's donuts behind you, yank the box open, and...

Do you want to eat healthy but don't know where or how to start?

Do you find yourself going to fast food drive thrus because you don’t have time to cook?

Do you want the convenience of having someone else prepare your meals?

Now, you can!

I’ve partnered with a company who provides 28 days worth of natural food, prepares it, and delivers it to your door.  These are great tasting, healthy foods.  They are not TV dinners.  They do not include processed fillers like noodles, pastas, white rice, potatoes or preservatives like Jenny Craig and NutriSystem.  You choose the breakfasts and individually bagged meats and vegetables to create your meals.

Choosing foods that are good for you can be complicated.

Don't get so obsessed with counting your calories that you let your common sense fall by the wayside.

Do you really think that 100 calories of every food is used the same by your body?

If you eat 100 calories of sugar your body immediately begins putting it to use as fast acting glucose.  Good, right?  Quick energy?  No.

Unless you 'burn it off', it will most probably get stored as fat.  However,....

While it's true that Americans spend almost $800 million a year on peanut butter, all peanut butters are not the same.  There is regular peanut butter, reduced fat, natural, whipped, and who knows what other names they've come up with.

In nearly every grocery, there are shelves stacked with jars of peanut butter.  How should you choose the right one to buy?  Obviously....

The average American eats. A lot. I’ve said this before but nothing tells a story like a picture.

So to recap, in one year, the average American eats about 200 pounds of meat, 56 lbs of corn, 85 pounds of fat such as butter, 415 pounds of vegetables, 31 pounds of cheese, 53 gallons of soda and 42 pounds of high fructose corn syrup.

Let’s break this down a little to better understand this infographic.
