If holiday splurges and too many fast food meals have expanded your waistline, you can draw comfort knowing that you’re not alone. A study published by the Journal of the American M edical Association shows that over one third of adult Americans are overweight, up from one quarter just 15 years ago. And a U.S. Department of Agriculture sur­ vey found that compared to the late 1970’s, Americans’ eating habits today include 200 percent more snack food, and 115 percent more processed food, like fast food pizza, lasagna and tacos. Here lies the central cause of Americans’ battle with the bulge, says Michael Faulhaber, president of OtheA Foundation. “The human ani­ m al’s digestive system was never meant to handle highly processed foods,” explains Faulhaber. “Our early ancestors ate food in its natural state, and didn’t mix foods of differ­ ent origins at one eating. Today's highly processed fast foods - with their mixtures of fats, protein, sugars and other carbohydrates - are the absolute antithesis of how we should be eating.” The mixture of fat, protein and refined carbohydrates presents a par­ ticular problem if you are trying to lose weight. While the digestion of proteins and fat barely change the insulin level, carbohydrates require lots of insulin to control the blood sugar level. The excess glucose (blood sugar) is converted to and stored as fatty tissue. A diet high in processed foods not only adds pounds but can result in a permanent overproduction of insulin which, in some cases, can lead to diabetes. The key to losing weight, says Faulhaber, is to eat foods separately according to their origin, thereby aiding proper digestion and avoiding insulin overproduction.
