Default Losing weight

Reguarding organic foods for years I've had no luck losing weight. My new doctor told me to start going organic and do not eat anything with high fructose corn syrup. this along has allowed me to lose. I'm totally sold on organic and natural foods now.

Fructose is natural sugar. Anytime you remove sugar from your diet will you help lose weight. I am glad that it is working for you. Don't forget to exercise! That will make you lose even more.

Whole foods and organic foods have really come to the forefront in today's grocery stores. In my area all Hannaford Supermarkets have recently undergone extensive renovations to include entire sections of natural and orgnanic foods. There must be something to all this b/c major food chains would not do these kinds of changes if there wasn't a huge profit in it.

You're definitely right, there is a huge profit in it. Enough people are changing over to organic and natural foods that the major food chains have recognized that there is a profit to be made. Not just because of the increased interest but because these foods cost more. Which really doesn't make sense because they're organic and natural. I guess it must cost more to grow without all the pesticides and chemicals.

I found that when we switched to more organic and natural foods, you begin to crave them more. The cravings for the junky foods gets less. I enjoy the way I feel when I eat healthy.
This is the best way to lose weight. Congrats on your success!

I never knew that Organic foods really increase the level of losing weight. Any kind of food having in smaller quantities and more number of times would surely be helpful in losing weight and maintaining normal diet.

The only problem I'm fighting with organic food is not the taste or the quantity. But the price! I am on a limited income (disability) and the price makes it difficult for me to afford them. But I do buy them when I have the extra cash.

It's true that they are a bit more expensive but it's definitely worth it for your overall health. Good luck with the weight loss. Eating organic can have a lot of benefits aside from weight regulation too so good choice on yours and your doctors part!
