How to Make Sense of Food Labels

Posted in: Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Nutrition Tips, Weight Loss    |    Comment     

We all understand how important it is not to eat too much fat, too many carbohydrates or sugar in our diet. However, the majority of us don’t know how much and what is in the food we buy in the supermarket.

Luckily, all items that are packaged have to, by law, include what’s in them. For example, they have to tell you how much salt and fat is in the item. These have to be clearly labeled on the product. That makes it so much simpler — or does it?

The GI (Glycemic Impact) Diet - How Does It Work?

Posted in: Diet Plans, Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Shop / Product Reviews, Spotlight, Weight Loss    |    Comments Off     

One of the primary reasons some people fail to lose weight utilizing a diet plan is that they either stop at a certain point, or are not motivated enough to continue to its successful conclusion. The G.I. Diet alleviates these worries by simply avoiding all foods that have a high glycemic index.

The glycemic index works in this way: it breaks down foods into sugar which is the source of energy for the body. When consuming foods high in glycemic index, the foods you eat are broken down so quickly that your body signals the need for more food. Conversely, foods which are low in glycemic index slowly break down thus you are satisfied with the meal and are no longer hungry.

How Many Extra Meals Are You Carrying Around?

Posted in: Motivation, Nutrition, Nutrition Tips, Nutrition Tips, Spotlight, Weight Loss    |    5 Comments     

Here’s a different way to look at all the extra fat you’re carrying around. See, your body stores any extra calories you eat as fat, right? Your body thinks, “Hey, it might be a while before we get some food, so let’s stash away all this extra energy.”

The problem is, for most of you reading this, the next meal is not very far away. You don’t even have to go out to “hunt and gather” — chances are you’ll “walk and raid (the fridge)” or “drive and order (some fast food).”

So, for every 3500 extra calories you eat, your body gains 1lb of fat.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument (and easier calculations!) that an average, healthy meal is 500 calories (normal portion consisting of protein, carbs and some fat).

That would make 1lb of extra fat the equivalent of SEVEN meals!
