Kids wanna know how to look and feel good, too Physical Education in public schools is virtually non-existent now This hurts kids' brains Even taking away recess time is detrimental Exercise is a poor way to lose weight, but is still important for brain function and for muscle mass Losing weight has everything to do with hormones Calorie in / calorie out does not work Compare this to using a car's gas all up and then not refueling -- it simply does not work! Can be hard for kids to get off of all the added sugar, especially in breakfast foods Pretty much all breakfast food marketed towards kids has LOTS of sugar and grains Soft drinks, even diet, will not allow you to lose weight! You must quit the sugar and artificial sugar, even if you are doing everything else right Juice is also straight sugar Once you juice fruit, you lose the fiber and it is literally just a sugar bomb Will cause a crazy glucose spike

INFLAMMATION AND DEPRESSION As we know, sugars and grains can cause inflammation There has been a connection between inflammation and depression Important, especially if mental health issues run in your family Susan Masino talks about this A LA CARTE GYMS Gyms now are very expensive Gyms are probably going to charge based off of what you wanna use at the gym Ex: if you just want to go for the running, you will only pay to use the treadmills A La Carte is the future! Just like how people use cable less now, too, and rather buy Hulu and Netflix, and the like Classes at gyms are also incredibly important for the success of gyms Places like SoulCycle are examples of A La Carte gyms Every big box gym has specified pools, classes, turfs, etc., to try and cater to this new desire HIGH FAT DIETS & CHOLESTEROL Studies from the '60s even show that high-fat diets don't cause cholesterol to go up More and more studies these days are supporting that evidence The SAD diet was concocted by the sugar industry, and the government was paid to support it People in the NSNG Facebook group have actually showed that their cholesterol went down/got way better since starting the No Sugar No Grains lifestyle
