The Calorie Monster – Not All Calories Are Evil
By: Dr. Russ L’HommeDieu, DPTCategory: Dr. Russ LHommeDieu, DPT
In their purest form, calories are units of life sustaining energy. When found in moderate groups, they are known to be benevolent providers of life, health and vitality.
Caloric Horrors of Science and Freaks of Nature
Unfortunately, due to excessive food processing and the frequent human manipulation of nature, some of these calories mutate into something ugly. These ugly calories are the scourge of modern society and they have been termed Calorie Monsters.
These Calorie Monsters are gross exceptions to the norm and tend to wreak havoc on your bodyâs ecosystem. They are taken to being exceptionally evil, grotesque, unreasonably strict and uncaring, sociopathic, sadistic, narcissistic, lazy and frankly, not that smart. The very word monster connotes something wrong or evil. In the popular sense, a monstrous being is: very morally objectionable, physically or psychologically hideous, or regarded as a freak of nature. These special monster calories fit all those criteria*
When these Monster Calorie things get into your body, there is no telling what they will do. It is best to try to avoid these things all together.
Donât Crowd Your Calories
To make matters worse, these calorie monster mutations also occur when ordinary, law abiding, calories get overcrowded. Simply stuffing too many âniceâ calories into your body all at once can make them cranky and turn them into Calorie Monsters.
