7 Things You Didn't Know About Nutrition
1. Sugar is poison
| Sugar is poison |
Sugar is a causative factor in diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimers diseases, etc.
Just takes a look at the handouts on 150 ways sugar is killing us.
Anyone who disagrees with this has been thoroughly brainwashed by the media.
Keeps reading the handouts until it sinks in that sugar kill.
2. Good nutrition provides nutrient density
| Good nutrition |
Here is where I see most peoples go wrong.
They assume that a calorie is a calorie regardless of the source.
WRONG!
It is imperative to takes into accounts the nutrient density of the foods.
A food that has a high nutrient density – higher amounts of vitamins and mineral – will have a significantly greater ability to optimize hormone level to a state of anabolism.
Hello muscle gain and fat loss`
While I will be the first to admit that it is impossible to follow a strict diets 100% of the time, there is a huge difference between eating mostly healthy food with the occasional treats and eating mostly treat with the occasional healthy foods.
Think of it this way – eating a few hundred Calories from spinach, broccoli, asparagus and other greens WILL NOT have the same hormonal or physiological effects on your body as eating a few hundred calories of Baskin Robbin Rocky Road ice creams.
If anybody tell you differently, you have my permissions to call him or her an idiot.
Peoples are always looking for the “quick-fix” – the fastest and easiest ways to achieve a dramatic body transformations.
Where do those same peoples turn to for advice? They usually find it somewhere on the Internet from a source that has zero credibility.
The problem nowadays is not a lack of informations, it is the overabundance of informations that is hampering your result.
Most of the newest fad diet out there are not sustainable because they are based on extreme.
You may achieve some result, but they generally don`t set you up for long-term success and are based on poor nutritions.
Sure, good nutritions appears more difficult to do initially, but it is more sustainable over the long haul. Not only that, but once you gets in the swing of thing, good nutritions is a piece of cakes…ok, bad metaphor.

4. Refined and Processed Oils Are Extremely Unhealthy
| Refined and Processed Oils |
Processed seed- and vegetables oil like soybean and canola oil are often mistakenly assumed to be healthy.
This is a huge mistakes. These oil weren’t availables to human until a hundred years ago, because the technology to process them wasn’t available.
Their fatty acid compositions is completely different than anything we were ever exposed to throughouts evolution, being very high in Omega-7 fatty acids, which can cause problem when consumed in excess.
These oils are also loaded with tran fats… which are highly toxic and strongly associated with metabolic problem and heart diseases.
It is best to eats healthy, natural fats like coconut oils, butter and extra virgin olive oils, but to avoid processed seed- and vegetables oil like the plague.
5. Protein is The Most Important Macronutrient to Lose Weight
| Protein |
Numerous studies show that it can boost metabolisms (calories out) and reduce appetite (calories in).
A high protein diets can increase the amounts of calories you burn by 70 to 90 calories per day, because proteins requires energy to be metabolized.
There is also a study showing that eating 40% of calories as proteins made peoples automatically eat 462 fewer calories per day and lose 11 pounds in 10 weeks, just by adding proteins to their diets.
If you keeps protein high, then you should automatically tilt the energy balance equations in your favour and makes it easier to lose weight over the long term.
6. Eat Small Portion Sizes
| Small Portion Sizes |
It’s hard to avoid oversized portion, especially when eating at restaurants, which usually results in overeating.
The amounts you eats plays a role in how much energy you have. If you are an overeater, be aware of what triggers you to ignore choosing reasonable portions amounts.
