Does impatience make you fat?
The society that we live in these days is very much, got to have it now, got to get it done now I need it now. So could this be a reason that makes us overweight, think about this if you think back to how things used to be 10 to 15 years ago or more, things may have not been so hectic as they are now, fast-food restaurants may have not been in existence, the Internet, was very much in its infancy. So in reality there was no way of getting food fast at all, microwave ovens were around but they might not have been so many microwave ready meals, around at the time.
So let's fast forward to where we are now, you get your microwave ready meal, put in the microwave bearing in mind that this might be full of sugar and fat and excess calories
set the timer for eight minutes say, your food is cooked within eight minutes and ready to eat hardly any time waiting in order to eat your food, now think about having three of those within one day, all full of sugar and fat and loaded with calories.
Where as if you think about it, how much is that eight minutes really saving you, in order to lose one pound of fat you need a deficit of approximately 500 calories per day times that by seven and you have the figure of 3500 calories approximately. So in order to lose this weight you now have to spend, time exercising three to four times per week say 30 minutes or more in order to lose the weight that you may have gained eating the food in the first place, now this food could come from anywhere, imagine this you're sitting at home thinking about watching a movie there isn't it much food in the house, so you pick up the phone and order a pizza, or some other take-away food either over the Internet or some other means so in reality, it's very easy to get food within an instant you don't even need to use a microwave if you don't want to.
In fact why bother, when someone else can do it for you so by you can see how the foundations for some eating habits are laid down. But it doesn't stop there it might take longer to prepare a meal using fresh food, but think about this if you haven't had eaten all the food in the first place, none of this would have happened but the problem is, how long does it take to lose all that weight, if you're thin you only need to do a reasonable amount of exercise in order to stay that way, it takes far more effort and time when you're overweight to lose it than if you are not. So the way I see it impatience does cost in the long run.
