Do yourself a favor. Before you start to change your diet or go on a diet, stop and think about a couple of things.
How long have you been at your present weight?
Are you happy and healthy at that weight?
What did you eat yesterday?
Write it all down and look at it. Does it look like you made smart choices?
Is there an imbalance within the food group ( breads, fruit and vegetables, proteins, fats)?
I truly believe if you really understand where you are
coming from you will be able to look ahead to see where you are going. Where
are you going?
The three biggest problems I see when it comes to nutrition and diet are the
following
1. Most people have no idea how many calories they need for their weight.
2. Most people don’t understand balance in their diets. Too much of one food group and not enough of another is an imbalance.
**Here’s an example: Sharon Smith needs 1900 calories a day. One day she eats 1930 calories. Seems good, right? But wait, let’s look closer. Let’s say 1400 calories are from breads, 100 from protein and 430 from fats. Here are the problems. She has no fruits and vegetables, her carbs are too high, not enough protein and she has too many fat calories. She could actually put on weight even though she is eating her recommended daily amount of calories.
3. Most people don’t know how their total daily calories should be distributed within the food groups. (especially carbohydrates)
**Here’s an example: Sharon Smith still needs 1900 calories a day. 60% of her diet is allocated to carbohydrates. 60% of 1900 is 1140 calories going to carbohydrates. Now here’s where most people mix things up. Carbohydrates, though sometimes referred to as breads, are more than just breads. They are also pasta, rice, starches and fruits and vegetables. A reasonable split between them is the way to go. That 60% should be broken down between the breads, pastas, rice and starches at 30% and fruits and vegetables at 30%.
The body actually breaks down bread carbohydrates into sugars and then stores them. So take it easy on the breads and eat more fruits and vegetables. Realife refers to the carbohydrates group as breads and fruits and vegetables. Breads shall include pasta, rice, starches , juices, soups alcohol and sugars. The bulk of your breads should be eaten in the morning, allowing the body time to burn them properly. A good rule is no breads after 5pm and try to eat all of the fruit and vegetable carbs instead.
