Clean up your eating habits and lose weight!

I have been reading up a little on saturated fat and trans fat. Wow, what an eye opener! I knew these things all along as I have been trying to lose weight forever (I am really just on a weight loss continuum).

Not only should we not eat "bad" fats for weight loss but trans fats are deadly. Apparently the food industry has known this for years but trans fats have only been on high alert since the beginning of this year. I am inclined to wonder if manufacturers are putting all of these chemicals in our food to get us addicted them and therefore not ever lose weight. And yes, here I am, hardly able to resist the delicious junk food's "come hither" approach as I try year after year to lose weight. Hmmm. Really makes you think.

Okay, trans fats are killing me (as well as helping me gain weight). Sure I watch those items I buy at the store. Anyone trying to lose weight has to be a pretty cautious label reader. However, what about all of the food we buy already prepared at restaurants? You better believe the preparers are not nearly as nuerotic as I am about what kind of food I am putting in my mouth.

Maybe if I just became a little more cautious about trans fats, that would help me keep my eye on saturated fat. While it won't kill me, saturated fat will stop me from losing weight.
