Most people begin a new diet something like this:
1. Figure out what foods they can no longer eat.
2. Look up healthier replacements for those foods that fit within their new diet.
3. Eat those replacements and be miserable.
There’s a better way. (Thank God!)
It depends. It is estimated that 1% of the US population has Celiac disease, a severe allergy in which the protein in wheat destroys their intestines, though many are misdiagnosed. For these people gluten-free is not only healthier, but the only way to avoid miserable health problems.
Do you ever feel like giving up trying to eat healthfully because in a year experts will probably change their minds? Do you ever get confused when some experts claim a food is good, and others claim it is bad? Different foods have different effects on the body.
Any Major Lifestyle Adjustment is Challenging So you got back in your pre-pregnancy jeans in 6 weeks. Or lost 20lbs in 30days. Or won first prize in a weight loss contest. That takes hard work a tons of discipline, and I applaud that.
If you struggle with sweet cravings, try cutting them out completely. The biological aspect of your craving should subside within a few days. Psychological and emotional cravings have to be dealt with differently, but removing the biological aspect should take the edge off significantly.
The inspirational moms I work with are some of the most disciplined people you can imagine, making miracles in impossible situations. How can a tiny piece of chocolate be their kryptonite?
Reasons for nutrition and effective advice differs based on the goal. Weight loss, general health, and fitness performance have different requirements.
