There is actually no such thing as a diet that works perfectly for everyone. Just the smallest of differences in genetics in two peoples bodies could call for completely different diets. The culture and environment, and even someone’s body type could be the reason for a very specific diet that may only work for that respective person. There is no easy way to find a diet that works best for you, a lot of trial and error goes into figuring out what your body will an will not do.
Below are a some things that will help you kick start your new lifestyle in a new direction:
- Artificial Trans Fats(BAD): Also known as partially hydrogenated oils, these fats are made by mixing unsaturated fats with hydrogen gas at a very high heat to make them resemble saturated fats. The process is one that will make your stomach turn, and on top of that it raises the bad cholesterol and lowers the good cholesterol. ATF’s also cause abdominal obesity, inflammation, and even short term use of trans fats. Long term use can end up increasing the risk of obesity, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, depression, and many other diseases.
- Omega-3 Fats(GOOD): DHA and Omega-3 fatty acid are derived from animals. They actually make up about 40% of polyunsaturated fats that are in the brain. There are 3 different main sources of Omega-3 fats: ALA (from plants mostly), DHA and EPA ( animals i.e. fish oils). Being deficient in Omega-3 is said to associated with a lower IQ, various mental disorders, heart disease, depression, and many other very serious diseases. Make sure to get most of your Omega-3 fats from animal sources, such as fish, Omega-3 enriched eggs(or pastured), grass fed animal meat, and fish oil.
- Added Sugars(BAD): Eating food that is jam packed with sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is normally going to leave you with an unhealthy sugar rush or possibly worse since there are many added sugars that contribute to the process of contracting a deadly disease. Added sugar is being implicated as a leading cause of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes type 2, mainly because of the high fructose content that is inside that certain product.
- Vegetables(GOOD): Vegetables are enriched with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and an endless variety of trace nutrients that science has previously and recently shown proof of study. The rule I normally go by is to eat the most fibrous veggie like meals: asparagus, broccoli, spinach, and etc. Eating vegetables os associated with improved health and a lower risk of disease. Go out and find new vegetables that you like, and try to enjoy a mixture of them every single day.
If you are over weight or maybe just not where you would like to be, dieting alone is simply not enough to get you to your specific goal. What you are going to need is a complete lifestyle change that can be broken down into a simple equation:
-Find a diet that Works for You + a workout routine that Works for You + being very Consistent = A more fit, in shape, healthier you!
