    Default Health effects of dietary risks in 195 countries, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 201

    A really interesting study made by the Lancet.

    I must say I'm really surprised that France has one of the lowest rate of diet-related deaths...each time I look at what people at the supermarket put in their cart, I'm just horrified. Most of the time everything is ultra processed, I wouldn't even give those weird alien kind of meat to a dog....poor kids...

    Many people who are slim think their health is fine...they are so wrong if they eat garbage!!

    One of my specialist told me something really interesting in January, about how, even if I was really sick with issues, my blood results were anyway better than most people!! weird and confusing....except it's true that I'm really careful with the kind of food I eat....makes sens after reading the article!

    Wow!
    Not what I expected at all.
    I thought Asia did much better over all, instead that part of the world is the worst.
    I, personally, am not doing so bad, I am glad to see.

    Your welcome!
    For Asia there's basically a few factors : the China study from dr Campbell does explain it well. To make it short, people are not eating like their ancestors (lots of rice, lots of green veggies full of fibers, little to no meat) and instead started to eat "Western food" and got to die earlier, get lot's of disease that their metabolism were not used to get.
    For example, during my 3 years in Taiwan I did notice that fast food are everywhere and very cheap, and finding traditional cuisine can be complicated. Traditional cuisine is supposed to be "healing cuisine" based on Chinese medicine...
    Plus the food for the fast food can come from China and be tainted...(they had several issues when I was there, one day it was tainted oil, an other time rotten meat etc etc) but in the other hand the older generation still eat traditional, goes to the market and cook veggies. The younger just buy take out...

    So for example, a study was made about colo rectal cancer in TW. The study started right after the martial law period, when all the junk food arrived in the country (1993) when the dictature was over. In like 10 years, those cancers more than doubled...it's directly linked to the food....and the "new Western diet"...
    I was really surprised that could be so bad so fast!!

    But same in Samoa, when we lived in New Zealand I discovered that Samoa had the highest rate of obesity in the world (at that time) and it started when the population stopped eating the traditional way roots and veggies from their land, and started to eat the bad imported food like....corn-beef.
    They also have lots of diabetes.....the food we should eat is really linked to where we are from, eating the wrong way can have dramatic effects..

    Very interesting to read, I know as a mother of 6 active kids I was guilty of fast food and ‘quick’ to make dinners. As they have gotten older, it has gotten easier to plan healthier meals, but I’m still guilty every so often.

    Hey Lisa,

    First I would say, don't feel guilty, but raise your kids by showing them the right way to eat. It does take a little more time or extra effort, but it's doable and important because we teach them by example. Roast a chicken in the oven, with veggies around takes 5 minutes, and makes a really good healthy meal!

    I raised 3 children working full time (and sometimes with really crazy hours being on call at night and during week ends) and food on the table was not always perfect but I did try very hard. And my husband is useless in a kitchen, kids say they'd rather eat cardboard instead of hubby's cooking .
    Kids are mean, it's not that bad if you like black food!

    So instead of feeling bad, take action. Don't buy junk, cookies or soda, no fruit juice either but put fruits and nuts on the table for snacks. Only water to drink, no feezy drinks, even "without sugar" because artifical sweetners are very bad too..but sparkling water with lemon, lime, or any infused fruit is great!! if the house is empty of junk food, kids (and parents!!) can't eat it! The hard part is to make the right choice at the store!

    Have veggies as often as possible even with fast food, give them a compulsory serving of salad. Salads are quick and easy to make.

    Truth is living in the US, it's hard to eat right....fast foods are everywhere and so cheap. My kid in (expensive!!) preschool would get kraft mac and cheese for lunch!! so it's also a cultural way to eat.
    At some point the government did give money to the food industry and it became cheaper to eat garbage.The palate get really accustomed to the "tasty" garbage and want more....thanks to all the chemicals! once my kids had a taste of chitos at a friend's house, they kept on asking me to buy it (never did) got them good organic potato chips instead, as a treat ....but it is hard to fight when everyone around is eating the wrong thing!

    To compare, in France, in the town where I lived in HS, the first McDonald arrived in 1989!! it's because of the way our govt does tax restaurants, it would be way too expensive to eat fast food everyday!! But in the US, it's the contrary! it cost more to cook and eat healthy!

    So French people had no other choice but to eat at home and cook. Many older still grow veggies in their garden!! But even without fast food, I grew up with the beginning of disgusting frozen meals, and dehydrated mashed potatoes. My parents wanted to 'try the new food" because it was fun...they were slim and knew nothing about nutrition so my diet was far from perfect growing up, too much carbs, too little veggies or proteins.

    As a mother I did make myself all the baby food, from scratch with organic produce! And yes, I was also making food for our meals, and working long hours. I was just organized (and don't need much sleep) did batch cooking long before it became a thing.

    I also tried my best to teach the kids how to make simple meals and make them able to grab a quick lunch at home when I'm at work, they just have to reheat some of the batch I made in the week end, and add a fresh tomato or salad and voila! My kid who's 17 and away doing her second year in college far from home knew how to cook when she was 12 and likes it. She didn't gain weight in college, stil a size 0, and I got her a slow cooker so she can make healthy stews, beans, lentils, soup, without wasting time in a kitchen because she has a busy schedule.So far she is doing great. Just got her mid term results and those are great too (good food is important for the brain too, my youngest had ADHD, got much better over the years, I always watch her omega 3 intake, it did help a lot, food is also a medicine!)

    When we traveled in foreign countries when the kids were younger, we always took cooking lessons to know how to use some unknown spices, it was a fun way to learn about the country's history. We have the best memories of cooking classes in Bali, Thailand or even where we lived in Taiwan. We became friend with one of the teacher in Taipei, who was also teaching cuisine at the local college.
    That was always a great way to discover a country.

    So don't feel bad. Sometimes growing up I felt that food was the enemy but at the end of the day it does keep us alive. And each day our little "one good choice" make us stronger. Knowledge is power!!

    And if it's unrealistic to ban all junk food all the time, keep it out of the house but have it sometimes as a treat only will avoid frustration. For example at home, ice cream is only on Saturday or for a special event. Simple rules like that one prevent us to eat the wrong things on a daily bases.
    You can do it!

    Sandra3 - the above post is very helpful! Western diets are awful and have been for decades. I am in my 40's and as kids, we ate lots of boxed pasta with ****** sauce, hamburger helper, sloppy joes, Stouffers frozen dinners, hot dogs, canned soups and spaghettios. A real "treat" for us was going out to McDonalds or for pizza. Mom worked 2 jobs and dad was not around. Mom had limited money and no time to cook. Now, my mom is obese and so are my siblings. I find myself in the same situation, working long hours with no time to cook. My 6 year old eats lots of pasta, mac and cheese, and other garbage. You're post is very inspiring for me. I have GOT to make some positive changes!!

I find myself in the same situation, working long hours with no time to cook. My 6 year old eats lots of pasta, mac and cheese, and other garbage. You're post is very inspiring for me. I have GOT to make some positive changes!!
    Before I got my sleeve I started to take classes in nutrition, didn't get to finish my degree since I needed to do a six months unpaid interneship to be a State certified nutritionist ....and can't really afford to stop working right now with my kids tuition to pay (plus I was not planning on changing job anyway, was more for myself). So last year I switched to naturopathy, the field is really interesting, and it's a fast track since there is a few common classes with nutrition.
    So I'm happy to help if you need suggestions.
    Just go slow, and start first to add veggies and fruit before decreasing the junk.

    I think it is completely possible to eat healthy on a budget. Eating healthy is not about eating expensive organic things. With a good slow cooker, an Instant pot or pressure cooker you can do wonder. Get the produce in season, try to buy local (and organic if possible/affordable). For all berries for example, I only buy organic, if fresh is too expensive, I buy frozen. Fresh berries that are not organic have way to much chemicals to be healthy...

    Good protein like organic eggs, tuna (in can watch for those in water brine without preservatives) are very good staples and are affordable. Beans, split peas, lentils can make nice stews full of protein, healthy carbs, you add a little salad and here you have the perfect meal!

    After your sleeve you will be able to spend a lot less in food (for yourself) so you can get one more expensive cuts of nice beef or wild salmon and eat that one portion for like 3 meals.

    Kids are used to the strong flavors of "the not good pasta in a box" so you can make them pasta (organic whole wheat) once a week, and make a sauce with the kids, add strong flavors they like. If the kid is involved in the making, he will eat it. I do hide lots of veggies in pasta sauce, meatball, meatloaf and fish balls. For snack, kids also like hummus and raw veggies to dip, you can add a little organic corn chips for the crunch (not too much...corn is not the best cereal). Chickpeas (cans) are cheap and it take no time to make hummus!
    One of my friend love chili, I make a batch once in a while, fast to make, cheap and I can feed an army!

    I mean... it is a big topic. But it is better to eat conventional produce instead of junk food. I do buy lots of frozen veggies, that way I know I will use it all, and its way cheaper than fresh. Sometimes organic frozen is even cheaper than fresh! The main thing to keep in mind as a motivation, is that you are doing that for your health and your kid's future.
    That's a huge reason to be persistent!! I know that my nutrition was bad when I was a kid, I became obese when pregnant with my first child and each time they begged for "junk food" I just think about how miserable I was at my highest weight....and that I don't want them to have that life. It does work!!

    And this is not a diet, it's your new way to eat. Permanent. Healthy, with lost of good nutrients, and once in a while, a few treats are ok !!(yes junk!) because you want to avoid frustration...and it's hard to "retrain " a palate...so the goal is to look at this way of eating almost as a game, and find what new taste you like, what new veggie can be good with that spice. And sometimes when the kids complain because they don't like it, I give them a little organic ketchup to help...yes it's carbs...but at least they eat their veggies!

    For ex last week fennel was on sale (1€ for 2!!), I just cut the head in two, a little olive oil, garlic and some parmesan to make a crust, 20 mns in the over and voila! prep time 5 mns! I tried fennel in many ways and this one is for sure my favorite.

    I also bring 2 healthy snack at work, I have a long commute and got stuck once in the middle of nowhere, already had hours beforemy only snack, was starving and was only able to find junk food at the train station!! now I have 2 snacks with me! (almond, piece of fruit etc) and always a water bottle.

    I mean...when I go to a birthday party I eat a little slice of cake and feel good about it. Everything is a question of balance. And not feeling guilty does help a lot in the process, because you want to avoid stress during weight loss!

    Take care!
