What are two things you cannot eat for supper?
I've began my article today with riddles because the Nutrition I'm hearing in this day & age is a lot like riddles.. It's something that needs uncovering, almost as if simplicity is wrong, evil even.
But here's the BIG question, do you Really believe in what you're saying about Nutrition; do you really believe Carbohydrates are evil, food should be gluten free?? There should be no wheat in your diet and you should eat nothing but vegetables & fruits. If you do, good for you, if you don't allow me to explain my authenticity{What I really believe} in the efforts to help you find yours.
1. Eat the Good Fats i.e. Avocado, nuts, fatty/oily fish, eggs, extra virgin olive oil.
Fats make your heart pump better & makes your joints supple and lubricated. This is critical for your overall performance, which will in turn help burn more of the bad, not so useful fats.
Bonus: Good
Fats make your skin look healthier. There's a reason why the most
expensive skin care products have olive oil/avocado in them.... Just eat
them, don't apply, they'll still get into your body and be used.2. Eat a protein everytime you eat. Animal protein is the best source of protein as it contains all the 9 essential Amino Acids. Eat your eggs, yoghurt, sea food, meat, cheese, just make sure they're not overly processed.
Proteins with every meal because they help curb hunger and overeating.
3. Drink lots of water. Water does almost everything in your body. It is almost always my solution to everything. When in doubt drink water, when you're hungry drink water. When you're heartbroken drink water, when your team loses just drink water.... You get the drift.
4. Eat as much vegetables as you want. They are the best sources of carbohydrates I know, with few calories. You should see the face I make when someone tells me they're on a carb free diet and their plate is full of vegetables. Vegetables are also rich in vitamins, minerals & fibre.
For Weight Loss or if you're prone to weight gain: Eating lots of Protein & Fats {Good Fats} , getting your carbohydrates from vegetables and minimizing on the starches & sugars will work.
For Weight Gain{Like yours truly} Eating lots of protein, fats, and vegetables would work and you can also include unrefined starches & sugars, and whole grains especially pre & post exercise.
To answer the above riddles : The Beginning of Eternity IS THE LETTER 'E'.. I'm sure you knew that.
And ofcourse you can't eat BREAKFAST & LUNCH for supper. They looked hard but they're pretty Easy right, just like the Food We Eat. Nothing complicated about it.
Your Challenge for the week; Ask yourself, do you Really Believe in what you're doing, saying and writing.
Find me at the YMCA this evening at 5.25pm-6.30pm still singing the same song that Nutrition doesn't have to be complex to work. We are also there Wednesdays & Fridays same time.
We share the same Nutrition tips with BJ Gaddour read more from him, and the riddles were borrowed from the series Knight Rider.
Cheers!
