The Fast Road to Health

The Fast Road to Health
By John H. Sklare

"For those interested in making healthy choices – but don't like referring to food as good food and bad food – I suggest you start thinking in terms of stop food and go food...

Imagine that you are going to take a trip to Aunt Betty's and you want to get there as fast as legally possible. You have two possible routes to choose from and both are equal in distance. However, route one has 15 stop signs between you and Aunt Betty's house while route two has just one stop sign. So here's the question: Which route will get you there faster? They're equidistant, so the answer is obviously route two, because you only have to stop once. With that in mind, let's return to the stop food and go food suggestion I just proposed.

If you think of food in terms of stop food and go food, you'll instantly know the results of your actions. If you choose stop food (unhealthy food), it will take you much longer to reach your goal. And research shows that the longer it takes to lose weight, the more likely you are to lose motivation and abandon your journey. However, if you choose go food (healthy food), you'll test your resolve less and reach your destination much more quickly! Also, just as stop-and-go driving is harder on your vehicle than non-stop open highway driving, injecting unhealthy food into your system breaks your body down and increases the time you need to spend on the road to weight loss. The lesson here is simple: Choose go food and take the faster road to health!"
