Interview by Lon Woodbury
Tiffany Wright, Ph.D., better known as the Skinny Coach due to the fact that she coaches individuals on the best ways to slim down, discussed with Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio about how meals choices could make a big difference in having a long, healthy life. She also raised considerable awareness on some unsafe food choices that are now part of the basic American diet, and how the finest time to start eating properly was really in childhood since that created eating practices for life.
About Tiffany Wright
She obtained her doctorate from the University of California and assists clients with weight loss problems and addictive eating disorders.

The Skinny on the Skinny Train
During the interview, Tiffany talked about all the factors contributing to the obesity epidemic. In particular, she said that GMOs, genetically modified organisms, are wrecking havoc on the digestive system, leading to leaky gut syndrome. This happens because the body does not know how to process the genetically-altered food. Another health menace found in processed foods is the ubiquitous prevalence of high fructose corn syrup.
In reality, the high rate of obesity in America, often considered an epidemic, is due to the changes in the food market. For instance, in the 1800s, Americans consumed about 4 pounds of sugar a year. Today, they eat half-a-pound a day or more, which totals to about 180 pounds in a year. This sugar consumption is actually difficult to prevent– due to the fact that it is in all kinds of processed foods, including Morton salt. Additionally, even in infant formula, the quantity of sugar is equivalent to the quantity found in a can of Coca-Cola.
She cautioned that numerous common diet options by parents are dangerous, particularly meals high in sugar, flour, salt, and fat. These components could form an ideal blend to promote obesity due to the fact that they curb the food – controlling hormone leptin, hence causing overeating and food dependencies. Because diet practices established in the house often affect kids well into their adult years, parents have to assume 100 percent obligation for getting enlightened about food selections.
She recommended consuming three meals a day and emphasized that it is particularly vital to eat a breakfast. She also suggested that people consume fruits, veggies, and complicated carbohydrates, as well as eat sufficient protein with every meal.
