Well, this section could encompass an entire book, so to keep this short, I'll just throw out a few random reasons...
- Skews the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in our diet to as high as 30:1, when a ratio of 1:1 to 2:1 is considered healthy.
- Problems with gluten intolerance (related to heavy wheat consumption)
- Problems with weight gain, blood-sugar swings, and reduced insulin sensitivity (and progression of diabetes) due to excessive refined corn and wheat flours, as well as HFCS in our diet
- Soy and corn are the most genetically modified crops (which also allows more pesticides and herbicides to be used, which are usually xenoestrogens)
- Many of the pesticide and herbicide residues in these crops are xenoestrogens, which can increase "stubborn" belly fat
- Soy products and derivatives contain a double-whammy of xenoestrogens as well as phyto-estrogens... again creating an environment in your body for fat storage, carcinogenic effects, and even "man boobs" in very severe cases
- The feeding of corn and soy to animals reduces the health and nutritional benefits of those animal products
- and the list could go on and on and on...
So today after my 1-hr walk, I did my first P90X workout, the Ab Ripper. I had to modify a few of the workouts because my abs are still weak from being stretched to the limit 3 months ago. I feel pretty good right now and might try another workout this afternoon. Then, from what I hear, I will be in tears most of the day tomorrow. I'll let you all know how that goes. Anyone who has done P90X, let me know your thoughts on it. Thanks for the videos A!
