The Number One Weight Loss Tool That We All Have.

I definitely don't judge anyone for this. I am with you. You name it, I've tried it. But through that, I've come to one simple conclusion: amongst all the detoxes and Keto and blood group diets and intermittent fasting, we've forgotten one simple thing, which is common sense.

Because weight loss is such a big business, we have been bombarded with so much complicated information (and in some cases, absolute bullsh*t) that we have forgotten to trust the very basic advice we all learned as kids: don't be greedy. Go outside and play. Get a good night's sleep. Always eat your greens!

From The Body Coach's 90-day plan to the Whole 30 to Weight Watchers, I'm just as guilty as anyone of looking to others for guidance when it comes to diet. I am not someone who is easily able to self-moderate. The whole "eat less, move more" concept is not news to me, but putting it into practice without extra structure and accountability is something I find difficult.  

6 Mistakes To Watch Out For If You Are On A Gluten Free Diet.

The number of Americans on a gluten-free diet tripled from 2009 to 2014, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine—but during that same time period, the number of people diagnosed with celiac disease dropped 17%. With weight loss benefits touted by celebrities, and new aisles in the grocery store devoted to gluten-free goodies, eliminating gluten can seem like just another trendy dietary choice.  

But for the 1% of the population with celiac disease, the diet is vital to their health and well-being. If you have celiac disease and get "glutened," you may experience gas, bloating, abnormal stools, vomiting, fatigue, or weight loss. Over time, this immune response caused by consuming gluten can damage the small intestine—making it infinitely harder for your body to absorb nutrients from the food you eat.  

Dietitian's Guide On How To Lose Weight And Keep It Off.

Experts say this all the time: diets don't work. It's all about adopting a new healthier lifestyle, that will allow you to lose weight and maintain it. But how do you do that?

Certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition says the trick for losing weight and keeping it off is to "think of food as fuel." If your body is the machine, think about feeding it premium, quality ingredients to allow it to run better.

Typical diets are heavy on refined carbs, refined sugars, and processed foods. When we eat these types of foods, we physically crave them more, not only because sugar is an addictive drug, but also because our bodies are starving for real nutrients. When we're looking to lose weight and we stop eating these high-sugar, refined, processed foods, we lose weight, but as soon as we start eating these foods again, we gain it all back, and maybe even more.

1. Refined Grains

This category includes: White bread, white rice, many baked goods

For many people, white pasta, rice, cookies, cereal, and bagels make the world go ’round. But refined grains have been processed in a way that removes fiber and important nutrients, and taking the fiber out means you’ll feel less full, making it easier to overeat.

Since there’s no fiber, refined grains are digested much more quickly than unrefined ones. This can result in a spike in your blood sugar, which can then cause the body to over-secrete the hormone insulin. “A surge of insulin can then result in low blood sugar, which makes you hungry again,” she says. “Insulin is a storage hormone, so when a lot is released, we end up storing most of those calories as fat [if not used for energy],” Rumsey adds.

Whole grains, on the other hand, aren’t stripped of fiber and key nutrients. They’re digested much more slowly, which leads to more stable blood sugar levels and less “I WANT MORE PASTA!”

This Is NOT NATURAL

Guess you can't believe all the marketing in products.
