RE: A Scientific Approach to Diet and Nutrition
@exercisinghealth appreciate the post! It's full of good information for readers! People make losing weight into this complex equation when really it's pretty easy to understand. I believe people understand the difference between drinking water and a soda. They just don't want to.
Step one: WANT IT
I believe in anyone who truly wants to lose weight, or somebody who wants to achieve their dream body. They deserve it. Not everyone is fit for a reason. They don't want it bad enough.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the post.
Anyone can 'diet'. Personalised nutrition is, however, a lot more complicated. If you don't have a basic understanding of physiology, biochemistry and psychology, then it's like picking at straws. It is for this reason that people specialise in clinical nutrition, dietetics and other similar degrees.
How our bodies respond to food, is, a science.
On the contrary, there is the Palaeolithic model of nutrition which has gained a strong following. These people simplify their diets by only eating the foods which existed in the Palaeolithic era. It's a basic staple of meats, vegetables, nuts, seeds and some fruit. Nothing else.
Their mantra is: if it is processed, don't eat it. Consume only what is produced by the land, and, prepare those foods as simply as possible.
I think their model is sound and straightforward. It is a good place for most people to start.
