The best meal replacement programs can be quite effective in weight reduction. The popularity of meal replacement products greatly increased after the turn of the 21st century.

These products are helpful to people who do not receive the right nutrition because of their eating habits. The need to lose weight is also another factor that makes people go for meal replacement programs.

The program requires individuals to replace the intake of their usual meals with those suggested by the meal replacement program. There are different types of programs; some provide a person with complete healthy meals while others simply consist of some foods such as milkshake that provides a person with the nutrition he would get from a complete meal. Sticking to a meal replacement program has helped individuals lose and maintain their weight as well as receive proper nutrition.

There are a number of vitamins and minerals packed in meal replacement shakes. It is important to check the ingredients in a meal replacement shake before buying. Ensure the ingredients are nutritionally balanced. This is essential because there are certain shakes that are designed to help people lose weight and may not have the proper nutrition for those who do not need to lose weight.

The other type of meal replacement program offers individuals with a complete and healthy meal. Such meals can be purchased from various stores and are normally located in the frozen foods section. A person can also make an order from a meal replacement program and have them delivered to the door. The reason why these meals are effective in weight reduction is that they are low on fat. However, they contain all the nutrition a person needs on a daily basis. Though shakes are common as a meal replacement, energy bars are also gaining popularity. The bars contain a high amount of proteins and are nutritionally balanced.

Meal replacements are nutrition sources that are portable and healthy. They are most suitable for individuals who may not be able to fix healthy meals when in their homes or away from home. They are also suitable for old people with low appetite, body builders who want to gain muscle weight and those who are ill. Meal replacements can lead to weight gain or loss depending on the product used. There are three types of meal replacements: powder, bars and shakes.

The choice of a meal replacement will therefore depend on the goals of an individual. A meal replacement product that is low on calories is suited to those who want to lose weight while one that is high in proteins is for weight gain.

          “Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living.” -
… Health Promotion

My mate was faced with something that he felt was a serious problem, his job demanded lot’s of hours, blood, sweat and tears on a weekly basis. He loved his job but his health was beginning to suffer. He’d been at it for four years and whenever he fitted exercise into his routine it became too much and simply exhausted him.

When we met up one evening, he told me that he had a 6.30am spin class that morning with a jog lined up for the following night. He also looked like he was going to have to crawl home like a lizard as he was that tired! I did feel for him.

After discussing the food pyramid at length and coming to the conclusion it sucked, I really felt we’d need to look at his exercise regime too.

I asked him why he was exercising?

After a bit of a dumbfounded look he said he wanted to be fitter, leaner, toned and healthier. He was feeling like a slug with no backbone when he sat in his office chair and he desperately wanted it to change.

From where I was sitting, his road to greater health wasn’t looking pretty. All I could see for him was fatigue, burnout, frustration, possible injury and an attitude that said ‘screw you’ to exercise with a million justifications on why he can’t do it anymore.

Do you like the idea of exercising less & becoming a lean mean health machine in the process?

He did… Continue reading →

“Your paradigm is so intrinsic to your mental process that you are hardly aware of its existence, until you try to communicate with someone with a different paradigm”. – Donella Meadows

Are you conscious about your health?

This post is not for the coke swilling, choccie bar munching monster with no real concern about their health. It’s for the person who is genuinely trying to make better daily choices to improve themselves. If there’s one thing that really frustrates me, it is seeing people who are investing time into their health and getting completely confused on what the right choices are.

THIS IS SIMPLY MY OPINION. Admittedly I am somewhat passionate about the topic, having worked as a Personal Trainer for 6 years and now running a company that deals directly with this topic, but still it is simply my opinion. I say this because I encourage anyone and everyone to check out the facts for themselves. As far as I’m concerned, there is vail that covers the whole food industry and it’s up to the individual to lift it up and take a look behind. Continue reading →

Think of this for a moment… would it be fair to say that the better the quality of food we eat daily, the better the quality of our overall health? Common sense really.

Does it matter what the cow eats?

Does the same apply to the living food we end up eating? When taking a look at the cow, we can easily assume the better the quality of food they eat on a daily basis, then the better the quality of them? Yep… No brainer really and pretty hard to argue.

When you are consuming a food source derived from cattle, I’m sure you would agree that quality is a major factor. But before we start to look at the differences between grass fed WPI whey protein isolate and corn fed regular whey protein, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The first question that springs to my mind is:

Why are farmers feeding their cattle corn in the first place?

I remember growing up in school with my teacher telling me that cows ate grass. Maybe she got it wrong!

Below is a clip from the movie Food Inc. If you have not seen this movie I would highly recommend it. Just give yourself five minutes of your time and you will begin to build an image of the bigger picture and why we only use grass fed WPI Whey Protein Isolate at 180 Nutrition.

Eating a healthy diet on a daily basis can be confusing at the best of times, especially if you want to improve your diet for pregnancy. During pregnancy and breastfeeding it can be overwhelming and a little scary on whether you are making the right nutritional choices for a healthy pre/post pregnancy diet. Depending on what you are eating on a daily basis it is possible that you may not be meeting your nutritional requirements for good health.

How well you eat during and after pregnancy will have a big impact on you and your baby’s health.

Improving your diet for pregnancy

As you can imagine, your nutritional requirements dramatically increase during pregnancy. Your baby needs the extra nutrients to grow and develop with all available nutrients going to the baby first… and you second. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies that can leave you feeling tired and run down during pregnancy and result in a slower recovery.

With this in mind, each meal needs to be nutrient rich to cope with the increased nutritional demands.

180 Natural Protein Superfood will help you meet those needs. All of our ingredients are derived from natural food sources making it a fantastic source of nutrition to help you get those extra nutrients and valuable proteins daily.
