Let’s start this beginner’s guide on the TLC diet with a little mental exercise. When you go out, look around you and tell me what you see. I bet you will see an abundance of fast food restaurants and guess what’s in front of them? You guessed it…A never-ending line of people. Fast food joints are known for serving up a dish of unhealthy food – unhealthy food that people continue to consume. Why? Because they can! People choose fast food because they live a busy life and are under the impression that they can’t go home and cook a healthy meal, because it will take hours to do.

This unhealthy lifestyle leads to obesity. The health risks of being obese include: Heart disease Type 2 diabetes Osteoarthritis Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease High blood pressure Stroke Reasons People Are Unhealthy Most work available is white-collar Children now spend more time playing digital games instead of playing outside The foods low-income families can afford are unhealthy The serving sizes of unhealthy drinks have increased People buy more fast food and prepare fewer meals in their kitchen
