Is fake flavor making you fat? What is fake flavor? Why does it seem like year after year we crave food more yet experience less satisfaction from it? What has changed?
\\nA lot has changed.
\\nOur food has changed. Whole foods are different and processed foods are different.
\\nThis combination makes fat loss tough and fat gain pretty easy.
\\nIn part 1 of this 2-part series we talked about how whole foods have changed. We went into detail on what has happened to our chicken, beef, pork, fruits & vegetables to reduce their quality and their flavor.
\\nToday we\'re talking about processed foods & how their flavor has skyrocketed as have their addictive qualities that set us up to overeat & keep coming back for more.
\\nMost importantly, I invited you on a challenge with me. A challenge to break the chains of fake flavor and stop allowing your palate to be held hostage by the food industry. This 14-day challenge is 100% free and you can do it as many times as you\'d like! I really hope you\'ll take the leap & take control of your food choices and your life.

\\nThere are a couple problems I want to tackle in today\'s episode:
\\nI want to help you understand how & why processed foods are causing problems, what foods are a problem & how we can overcome it.
\\nWe often approach dieting from the willpower first standpoint of "don\'t eat the donuts".
\\nI want to challenge you to a new approach: "create a state where you don\'t desire the donuts to begin with".
\\nThat is 100% possible & that\'s what I want to kick off today. Relying on willpower against processed foods is like trying to arm-wrestle a crane. We can be smarter.
\\nThere are several ways processed foods are engineered to hijack our palate:
\\nThese foods, from cookies to soups are fake, cheap & addictive.
\\nFunctional MRI (fMRI) is used to ensure addictive qualities.
\\nEmotional profiling is used to ensure these foods satisfy emotional needs & trigger desired emotional outcomes.
\\nMacronutrient profile is manipulated to ensure that we stay hungry, avoid satiety & experience cravings
\\nNatural doesn\'t mean natural
\\n"Natural flavoring" doesn\'t mean the ingredients are from natural sources. It may mean that the processing method was natural.
\\nAccording to the Environmental Working Group, the chemicals used in natural and artificial flavors are often the exact same or nearly the same.
\\nThere is no legal requirement in the United States to disclose the components of "natural flavorings".
