When not considering weight loss, there are few things that are more refreshing to me than eating fresh piping hot corn on the cob, with plenty of butter and salt. It is such a refreshing and healthy tasting treat. What could be wrong with that you might ask?
Well, In America the average adult consumes 67% of their total caloric intake from only 3 foods - corn, soy and wheat. The consumption of these 3 foods should only be about 5 to 10% of our total diet.
This imbalance in our diet is creating massive health problems associated with obesity, and the primary culprit in our diet hindering weight loss is these 3 foods. It's not a surprise that we have also developed so many intolerance's and allergies, specifically to soy and wheat (And gluten intolerance).


Our digestive systems weren't designed to handle this massive amount of:
  • High fructose corn syrup.
  • Corn oil
  • Soybean oil (hydrogenated or plain refined)
  • Soy protein
  • Refined wheat flour
  • And hundreds of other derivatives such as maltodextrin, corn or wheat starch, soy lecithin, mono and triglycerides etc, etc.
Just think of all the sodas, Marinades, salad dressings, ketchup, breads and hundreds of other foods that contain loads of high fructose corn syrup.
Now here is another shocker. Farmers are feeding cattle mostly corn and soy even though their systems are not designed for it. It puts way more fat on farm animals which brings the farmers more money when the cattle are sold at the market.
Feeding farm animal corn and soy alters the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of the fats to unhealthy levels. It also diminishes the healthy CLA fats that would occur naturally in grass-fed beef. The same holds true for chickens, salmon and other farm raised fish.
When you eat beef, chicken and fish you are still consuming foods that contain negative attributes for your health because of all the corn, soy fat buildup.
If you are truly going to affect weight loss and get a handle on our health, then it all starts with the grocery cart.
Don't buy processed foods! Buy simple healthy foods. Fruits, veggies, beans, eggs (free roaming chickens) nuts, seeds, and meats from grass fed or free roaming animals. Limit junk foods to 1 day a week, cheat day.

This is best on 1 day dinning out so that it isn't in your home to tempt you.
  • Try to get most of your carbs from fruits and veggies instead of grains.
  • Try to avoid tomato sauces that have HFCS and soybean oils. Choose sauces made with olive oils instead. You must avoid unhealthy canola oils too.
  • Try veggie stick with guacamole instead of corn chips.
  • Reduce your cereal, bread, and pasta intake by having them on your cheat day.
My point is, you're not going to always be perfect with your diet, but you have to get the percentages of corn, soy, wheat and their myriad of derivatives back in line with good health standards. Your long term health and weight loss depend on it.
