Until my Big Fat Greek Diet, I consumed food for all the wrong reasons.

The irony is that because people are eating for the wrong reasons, they will lose weight the wrong way. Obese people may eat the low-fat version of potato chips, but they’ll end up eating twice as much because the low-fat chips taste like flavored cardboard. Their cravings are not satisfied eating the low-fat chips with olestra, a fat substitute that is not absorbed by the intestines and can be very disruptive to your digestive tract. Because olestra isn’t absorbed, it just passes through the digestive tract, which can cause significant cramping and diarrhea.

So ultimately, it’s like paying a little extra for a flight from San Diego to New York with three layovers versus taking the nonstop flight, paying a little more, and having all that valuable time left over. I would rather take advantage of the best-quality food, but do it in the right way and eat it for the right reasons.

The point that I finally learned is that I had to eat in response to the body’s signal of hunger. How to eat to the point of being full is a difficult but simple lesson to learn, and we’ll get our hands on this topic in the next chapter.
