weight loss and microwaves

The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically over the past several decades and there are multiple reasons as to why. The growth of fast food restaurants, more sedentary life style due to computer usage and many other issues have been postulated to contribute to this growing health problem.

I am not certain it is a coincidence that the advent of the microwave seems to correlate with the rising obesity epidemic. It is quite simple to pop a premade, prefab dinner or lunch into a microwave and have a hot dish ready in 5 minutes. Pizzas, lasagna, hot pockets and snack foods such as popcorn are at your fingertips within a 5 minute period. Convenience and decent taste make these microwaves meals and snacks an easy choice at times, especially when you are busy.

Some of these meals carry nice sounding titles such as "Weight Watchers", "Lean Cusisines" etc...but....check the calorie counts and it has been our experience trhat peole who rely on these meals do not see the type of aggressive weight loss results that you desire.

Technology such as the internet and microwaves have made our lives much easier. But it has come at a price..and that price has been worsening health as a nation.
