Frozen Dinners and Sodas Routine – Health Level 3

Frozen Dinners and Sodas Routine – Level Three of the Healthy Living Steps

frozen foods

Many frozen food meals lack proper meal nutrition requirements.


If you are consuming more than FIVE store purchased frozen dinners or frozen food meals a week and washing it all down with a soda chances are that you are harming your body.
This diet suggests that people are consuming processed foods. These foods can include polyunsaturated vegetable oils, canned fruits and vegetables, frozen dinners, smoked or processed meats, soda, chips and sugar-coated breakfast cereals to name a few.
soda acidic danger

Most sodas are very acidic.

A lot of these processed foods contain trans-fats, sodium – salt and high-fructose corn syrup, which promotes inflammation and over all accelerated degeneration of the cellular structure in your body.

frozen meals danger

Chemicals are used in the frozen food process.


Another big mistake with some people is that they think all frozen foods are precooked and only need to be warmed. Foods can be prepared to look precooked like chicken that is pre-browned or breaded.

Suggestions on how to reduce your consumption of frozen dinners, frozen meals and frozen foods

It’s not easy to break a habit but it can be done. In a nutshell, you want to limit your access to the foods that do damage, but still allow yourself the occasional treat. Soon, you’ll be amazed at how good – and how thin – you feel.

Out of sight out of mind. This goes beyond keeping the chips out of your house. Try and purchase and keep in the house vegetables and fruits that are either readily available or prepared to be readily available when you get hungry at home. You may bring your ready to eat vegetables and fruits to work for a snack in place of candy or chips or for lunch in place of that frozen food meal.

Fast Food King or Queen Junkie

Take a close look at what you are eating!

Fast Food King or Queen – Level Two of the Healthy Living Steps

Many of us eat fast food more often than we care to admit, but how do you know if you are addicted to fast food or even just over doing it.

“Food addiction and drug addiction aren’t all that different.”

ALSO; constant advertising, easy availability, fast access and the low cost of the “fast food” figure in to the addiction or the over eating of this modern day convenience food group.
Fast food may include convenience store ready to eat food as well as most traditional drive-ins, fast food chains and processed frozen meals (TV dinners).

A fast food junkie can be defined as someone who fits into one of the following categories:

1) Eating fast food once per day means you probably are over eating and over dependent on fast food which says you have a “Mild Fast Food Problem”.

2) Eating fast food eight to twelve times per week means you probably are in the beginning stages of being a fast food junkie which says that you are a “Fast Food Junkie” and are probably suffering from mal-nutrition and possibly causing damage to your digestive tract as well as setting yourself up for long term ill health.

3) Eating fast food thirteen times or more per week means you probably are a full blown “Fast Food Junkie” and says that you are suffering from some type of mal-nutrition and are experiencing long term health issues (either apparent or hidden).

4) Eating fast food and /or standard frozen (TV) dinners everyday and almost for every meal means you probably should seek professional help as soon as possible. Professional help means seeing a doctor and explaining to him your past fast food diet and request a health check up and then see a professional nutritionist for a recommended diet.

Here are some suggestions:

It’s not easy to break the junk food habit but it can be done. In a nutshell, you want to limit your access to the foods that do damage, but still allow yourself the occasional treat. Soon, you’ll be amazed at how good – and how thin – you feel.

Out of sight out of mind. This goes beyond keeping the chips and cookies out of your house. It’s also helpful to limit the amount of advertising you see. The more fast food commercials you’re bombarded by, the more likely you are to seek it out.

Eat carbs, protein and fat at every meal. When you eat meals that lack one kind of food, you’re likely to want it later.

Call a friend. If your cravings are stress related, talking will help you deal with the problem. Once you’ve done that, you won’t feel compelled to reach for comfort foods.

Give in once and awhile. If you never have a treat, you’ll just want it more. So, it’s better to savor a bite of chocolate today than it is to wolf down a couple of candy bars tomorrow.

According to Dr. Sam Sugar of The Pritikin Longevity Center, food addiction and drug addiction aren’t all that different. Why? Because the hormones that regulate eating also regulate activity in the part of the brain that’s responsible for drug addiction. It doesn’t matter whether that part’s stimulated by cocaine or cheesecake. It craves more of any substance that made it feel good. Unfortunately, some foods are more addictive than others. So, you’re more likely to crave chocolate than you are broccoli. That’s because sugar spikes production of the body’s feel-good chemical dopamine. If you’ve ever wondered why those fast food value meals are so hard to resist, it’s because cheese and salt are addictive, too. So the challenge now becomes overcoming those cravings.

The Self Abuser – Level One of the Healthy Living Steps

Self Abuser
Anorexia Nervosa

Over Eating

Repeated Negative Mental Decisions

Drug Abuse

Alcohol Abuse

External Physical Self Abuse

If you suffer or are in engaging any of the above mentioned situations please seek PROFESSIONAL HELP as soon as possible.

You may think family and friends can and to some degree they may help and support you, but most of the time it is some or most of your family and/or friends who are contributing to the unhealthy self abuse either by condoning or encouraging your negative behavior pattern. A professional can sort out the whys and the who in your life and help expedite your road to a healthier life.

Based on my many years of experience most self abusers’ symptoms will remain with them to one degree or another. The main change in a self abuser’s negative actions will come from PROPER help and usually in the form of how you react when your negative situations and perceived negative feelings arise. Just like the person who lost a leg can have a happy life with a job and family you too can have the same. The person’s missing leg will always be missing but the way he or she handles their situations will become easier and more focused on the potential positives instead of the negatives.

If you find yourself at this “self abuser” level in whole or in part please reach out for professional help and move up to a happier and healthier life for you, your family and friends.
