We all know that salt is bad for you, but I have cast iron proof that salt is the main cause of obesity. Apologies for the long explanation in advance, but I am setting the scene here.
Like most other affiliates / SEO / work from home people, I sit on my backside most of the day typing on my keyboard and staring at my screen trying to invent the next eBay, Money Supermarket or My Voucher Codes.
My lovely wife Gem, usually makes me lunch and places it in front of me whilst I am in my “inventing” state of mind, and more often than not I eat it without even realising what it is.
So today was different. Gem and the kids have gone to visit family, and I stayed at home to catch up on work which is still haunting me from before the A4U Expo.
So approx 40 minutes ago I was starting to feel hungry, and decided to get out of the house and get a bite to eat. First place that enters my head is McDonald’s – my favourite haunt for quick and easy tasty food (imo). So I get to the lovley drive through window and order my food.
As I am such a fussy eater, I always order my favourite meal (quarter pounder with cheese) with just cheese, this ensures that my food is freshly cooked and hasn’t been hanging around on the Mc Shelves for 2 hours. As usual I am told to go and wait in the grill order parking bay.
10 minutes later (did I say quick food ??) the lovley Mcdonalds lady hands me my food through my car window. I drive off and decide to stop in the car park to eat the food as I was starving by this time (skipped breakfast too).
I opened my food and started eating the chips. They were not as nice as usual because they had NO SALT on them !
As I was in a rush to get back to my moneysupermarket2.com idea, I didn’t want to go back in to Mcdonalds to ask for salt, so I just ate them with no salt – which meant I left almost half of the chips and ended up throwing them in the bin. Due to the chips not being as salty, I didn’t finish half my drink either, so that also went in the bin.
On my drive back home, I started thinking to myself “I just saved myself probably 300+ calories from the chips and full fat coke I didn’t finish – Just because the chips had no salt on them”
So it is now blatantly obvious to me why so many people (including myself) are overweight – it is the salt !! Salt is the main cause of obesity !
When I met up with Chris Clarkson again at this years A4U expo, I commended him on his fantastic weight loss, as he truly does look a different person – he had lost almost 6 stone in as many months !
So many people had complimented him on his weight loss and asking how he did it. He had concocted some story about lighter life and a liquid diet yadda yadda, but it is now so obvious what he REALLY did – he has stopped eating salt, which in turn means he eats alot less food, which results in weight loss.
I am going experiment this and report back some findings – portion control is hard for most people – salt control isn’t though, and if you don’t enjoy your food as much without salt, you will eat less of it thus resulting in weight loss.
So next time you are about to enjoy a meal, remember something – Salt is the main cause of obesity !
