What Most Americans Eat

Welcome back and of course again it's Lisa La Barr your expert nutritionist basically what have we been eating all these years? Most people especially you know an Americans fast food everything else. But what are the two main ingredients? Would that be flour, sifty gorgeous feel so soft especially to the talk touch this sugar right here which is oh so sweet oh so delicious and that we actually eat about a hundred and forty pounds of it each person per year. Now if you could had a hundred and forty pound bag of sugar next to me and told me to eat that everyday I'd be like what is going on here but that is pretty much how much we eat each year. Each year, each person on average. That's a lot of refined products. and what People are talking about refined products and they are saying stop with the refine sugar, swifter refined flour all that this is what they are talking about. Eliminate these from your diet and that alone will help you. The problem is, is that we've spent years eating flour and sugar. Right here these two things and we've been a huge strain on our digestion. Now we've spent years messing up our digestion and many people are like well if I just eat the fermented foods and the enzymes and all that stuff and be good for just a week or two I'll be back right away I will not have the heartburn or the upset stomach or the you know the Gourd or any these other issues. No you spent years getting into this problem it's going to take you a while to get back out. You may take months but just know it takes time but if your patient you can get there.
