Thoughts and/or education:
I was listening to a gentleman talk about weight loss a while back. He said it is a simple matter of physics. To put on weight, just eat more calories than you burn. Which, by the way, takes very little effort. To make matters even more difficult, fat does not need to be digested so it goes right to your body fat with virtually no extra effort on your part. Chicken fat, pig fat, cow fat, vegetable fat, your body doesn’t care, it becomes a part of you.

Sugar is the culprit. We burn sugar first. So, when we eat a combination of sugar and fat our bodies store the fat if we ate enough sugar to satisfy our energy needs. When we eat too much sugar, our bodies covert it to fat and we store that away as well.

Pizza is a great food because it is made up of a lot of good things, grain, cheese, meat, and vegetables. Lots of pizza is not a good thing since the grain is converted to sugar, we digest the protein, vegetables are difficult to digest (a good thing), and we store the fat and extra sugar from all those pizza slices we really did not need but ate anyway. Remember, we will generally eat what is put before us.

So, it takes no effort to put on weight but lots of effort to take it off.
