Eat fat to lower cholesterol… What about dairy, is it healthy? Can I run an ultra-marathon or CrossFit on a low carb/ high fat or paleo diet?

These are just some of the questions we cover in this episode of The Health Sessions as we catch up with Nora Gedgaudas, best selling author of Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo Diet. I’ve time coded the bullet points so you jump straight to the bits that interest you most in the video. But when you’ve got the time, it’s well worth kicking back and watching the whole video as the content is invaluable!

Eating well is one of the biggest challenges a person can undertake.

In fact, and this says a lot about how hard it is to eat well, most people can get themselves to exercise regularly with greater ease than making themselves eat well. Why is it easier to exercise than to eat well? Going to the gym, taking a walk or run outdoors or playing a cardiovascular sport are all finite activities that have a clear beginning and a clear end. If a person is not exercising, he or she can be sitting.

Eating well, enjoying a nutrient dense diet, high in vitamins, minerals, good fats and protein is an infinite goal. A person cannot eat well for breakfast and reward him or herself with a chocolate shake for snack. However, with a little help and some insider information anyone can move toward healthy food choices while stimulating the sweet tooth and satiating a growling stomach.

With 180 Nutrition, people who want to eat well have endless options. They can order the 180 original formula and use it as a meal supplement, mixing a delicious, sweet tooth slaying, nutritious, belly grumble-stopping shake, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add 180 Nutrition to a bowl of porridge in the morning for a more filling, and nutritionally whole meal. Sprinkle it on lunch, or mix it in with a salad and enjoy the flavor expected, not a healthy grainy flavor that is so common with other health products.

The secret of 180 nutrition is the use of all standard, found in nature, not chemically engineered products. When cooking, a person can add a tablespoon of the original formula to a recipe and not alter the flavour of his or her favorite food while packing it with otherwise hard to get nutrients. For anyone who has ever wondered why the mid-day craving comes on, the answer is simple: lack of nutrition triggers the brain to beg for sugar.

Feed the brain healthy carbohydrates instead of processed sugar, and the time release of the natural carb will last long enough to fend off the snack cravings that sink most people’s diets everyday. And for those people out there who want a healthy afternoon snack, a great, low carb protein snack is available. The 180 Nutrition Protein Bars make a great snack for the middle of a workday and they are prefect for a bite after working out. The trick being, people who want to eat well need to fill their diet with nutrients that provide stable energy, long lasting appetite satisfaction and real flavors that stimulate the tongue. With 180 Nutrition, such a diet is a reality.

Using a protein shake as part of your efforts to slim down and get fit can have many important benefits. Diets that do not provide you with sufficient protein could be limiting the effectiveness of your workout efforts or even inhibiting weight loss!

Replacing the occasional meal with a nutritious and tasty shake can provide you with a way to cut out extra calories without sacrificing the protein and other nutrients that will be needed to enjoy the best results from your workout routine and other fitness efforts.

With a wide range of shakes and meal replacement options that are available on the market, choosing the best among them can be an important concern. Shakes that lack quality nutrients, contain too many empty calories or that will not be able to provide you with the quantity of protein that your body will need to build lean muscle tissue as well as to optimise your weight loss efforts may not be worth the bother. Utilising a superior shake as part of your weight loss plan can help you with weight loss, reach your fitness goals and enjoy the body that you have always dreamed of having.

180 Nutrition offer shakes that will be able to provide you with a low-calorie meal substitute that has all of the quality nutrients your body needs can be of real benefit to your fitness and weightless efforts. Vegans and vegetarians will be delighted to find a range of delicious and balanced shakes that have been created without the use of any ingredients or components that fall outside the range of their chosen diet. Choosing the best shakes will provide you with a superior dietary resource to maximize your weight loss efforts. Having access to the best shakes for weight loss is not a concern that should be left up to chance.

Minding your mitochondria

There’s a reason why this video went viral over the internet when it first came out. I highly recommend watching it and that is why I share it with you on the blog.

As Dr Terry Wahls (she’s the speaker in the video) put it, she’s the canary in the coal mine. If it seems a bit technical at first or if you don’t know what a mitochondria is, stay with it as the overall message is a must!

There’s also a great interview here with Jimmy Moore as he chats to Dr Terry Wahls regarding her experience with multiple sclerosis (MS) and also using a paleo diet. Enjoy, Guy.

Do you eat like this? Do you eat processed foods? How many leafy greens do you eat each day? Love to hear your thoughts…

As you can imagine we get a lot of email enquiries. Can I eat fruit if I’m on a weight loss plan? Is it possible that bananas make me fat? Is it ok to eat bananas whilst I’m trying to lose weight? You get the gist of it right… So it has inspired me to right this post.

First of all, I eat bananas. I not only eat them I enjoy them. So this is not a banana bashing post. But in saying that, I only eat them on certain occasions, and for me it’s all about personal circumstances (weight loss/weight gain) and timing. Continue reading →

Guy: This a great post by Tania as we focus on The Month Of The Gut. If you are wondering what the relationship is to the gut, weight loss and overall health then this is a must read. I’ll be having the gut test Tania talks about in this post… In the mean time, enjoy! Over to Tania…

Tania: If you have been struggling with your weight loss plan, most of your attention will be on the food you eat and increasing your exercise – which is great, but there are some people who despite their best efforts are still unable to lose weight. Does this sound familiar and why is this the case? A growing amount of research has identified the link between an imbalance of bacteria in the digestive system regarding weight gain, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Continue reading →
