Is the Impossible Burger safe for you to eat? The answer is pretty basic to understand. First and foremost, humans consume food. Food is not 14 patents and over 100 patents pending. Food should nourish and not destroy your DNA, cause inflammation (the cause of all disease) and destroy the earth.

DO YOU NEED CARBS AND FIBER?

The answer for this question is more simple than you may think. Do you need carbs to rebuild cells? Do you need carbs to produce hormones? Do you truly need carbs to function? The answer is an astounding NO. Carbs are fuel. Pure and simple! 

1g carbohydrate= 4 calories. Therefore, 200g carbs= 800 calories. An intense weight training session requires only 200 total calories. Therefore, where is the other 600 calories going? Add another 50g protein, which is another 200 calories and you just overfilled your gas tank.

Are you having trouble losing weight or not sure how you gained weight?

If you eat only 200 calories extra per day, which is less than a nutrition bar, shake, hamburger, cookie, pudding, steak etc- over the course of a year, you will gain about 21 lbs extra.  

By eating less you are doing more.  

What if you cut out just one single thing per day and did not eat that one thing?

Food for thought.
