Weight loss should not just be about 'fat loss'

"One bad apple spoils the whole bunch". This saying holds more merit than what we realize. When we talk about the issue of food and what it is doing to our bodies we do not realize that it isn't just food that is responsible... food doesn't get into our bodies by itself but what it does inside our bodies is something you need to know. The weight loss industry has us focus in on fat loss. Some how they have become the authority on food, dictating to us what we can or cannot eat, and even reputable Dr's are cashing in on this cash cow. These so called authorities have pushed the blame onto food itself all the while leading us to believe that we are not responsible for our health. "It's not your fault you are over weight! It's your DNA!" or " You don't have to sacrifice your cravings! Don't deny yourselves what you want, just eat in moderation!"
