‘I considered myself quite healthy until I removed these two ingredients out of my diet’

April 26, 2017realadmin_adminEducation

INGREDIENT 1
As a teenager entering university, my nutrition was horrible. I was drinking soft drink regularly, barely watching what I was eating and having ingredient 1 on a daily basis. At the same time without even making a connection, I was regularly getting sick, injured, bloated and I was always in some type of pain. At university I began my journey into understanding nutrition and its role with human health. I started off learning about ingredient 1. What I learned shocked me. I couldn’t believe I was ingesting so much of this white powder daily. I had no idea it was having this effect on my body. Cutting out all processed ingredient 1 wasn’t easy. It was a hard road especially when I am surrounded by people my age drinking coke like its water. I won’t say I didn’t get cravings, because I did. Every single day there was the temptation to have a small drink of soft drink or a few lollies. But I stood strong knowing it would get easier and it did. One day, it just lowered, dramatically. I was barely being tempted and I felt great!

INGREDIENT 2 
When it comes to ingredient 2, it took me a lot longer to learn about this. It wasn’t until Mitch and Vicky would regularly tell me that it was bad for my health that I noticed it. I’ll admit at first, I was sceptical. I didn’t believe it was affecting me in anyway. It took them about 3 or 4 weeks but eventually I gave in and thought I’ll go ingredient 1 free. I had no ingredient 2 for about 4 weeks. Not even a little bit from any source. I didn’t notice anything. At the end of the 4 week period, I went back to my usual diet. I started my day with my oats and it was awful. Not even 10 minutes after having the oats which I previously had for years, I had cramps and abdominal pain. I noticed the fatigue and felt extreme bloating later in the day. This was the same feeling I had felt every single soccer game I had played the year before. It was the same pain that caused me to be substituted every week. The season I went off ingredient 2, I played every minute of every game and I 100% attribute this to going ingredient 2 free.
I know find waking up in the morning 50x easier since drastically lowering my ingredient 1 intake and cutting out ingredient 2. At the end of the day, it’s your health and your choice. You can have people tell you all day long how it will and won’t affect you. The only true way to find it, is to try cutting out both yourself. Try it for a month then go back onto it and notice how your body feels. With some seriously alarm facts about these ingredients it no wonder why I have felt my best.

HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔 Being aware and mo HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔

Being aware and more present with our daily nutrition seems to be less and less common. What are some ways we can become more aware of what we eat?

1. Set an intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the day? Tired and lethargic? Or strong & healthy? If the answer is strong & healthy than packaged foods and sugar aren’t going to get you there.

2. Track your food. In order to become more aware we need to understand the calories that are coming in. By tracking your food you can understand what your food is made up of in terms of nutrient value.

3. Where your focus goes your energy will flow. Focus on consuming less processed more whole foods. Less alcohol more water. Increase your protein intake and your sugar consumption will naturally drop off. 

Combining these three things when deciding on meals for the day or week, writing a shopping list or when you are eating out with friends. These simple and very achievable guidelines will help you become more mindful and back on track after the festive season.

HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION With HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION

With the weight loss industry promoting new diets almost weekly that will shed fat, increase muscle mass, put you into ketosis, detox your organs, improve your physical performance and leave you feeling energised... But only if you exclude certain macronutrients, food groups or just eat meat and animal products only...?
It can be easy to see why people feel confused and lost when it comes to figuring out what they should eat. Today I am going to break it down into the 3 most important takeaways that will get you started on a healthy, balanced path:

1. Calories in VS calories out will always be top priority 🍉: if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will increase and the inverse is true. Your goals will discern how much or how little you should be eating but by complying with your calorie limit, you will achieve the result you are after
2. Protein Protein Protein 🥩: we talk about it all the time but it is seriously one of the most neglected macronutrients even though it provides the most benefit by far. Protein not only resynthesises muscle which promotes growth (therefore increasing our caloric demand meaning we can eat more) but it also increases satiety, meaning when you consume enough protein, you don’t feel as hungry for the snacks or sweets that will derail you long term 
3. 80:20 Rule🍔: this one is my personal favourite and where most people get stuck. If eating 1 burger on a Saturday night with some friends is what helps you stick to your nutrition plan for the rest of the week, eat the burger. When we don’t allow ourselves to indulge in the things we love every now and then, we inevitably experience burnout and give up entirely. Just remember 80% whole food: 20% soul food.
