Weight Loss & Meal Replacement

Weightloss

Confused about weight loss? We’re not surprised as the dietary information offered today is conflicting and confusing.

The supermarket shelves are littered with diet products and miracle weight loss shakes. Maintaining a healthy weight should be simple for everyone and we’ve created a resource section that offers real guidance that you can implement immediately.

side noteSide note: There are no shortcuts to success. Health is a lifestyle not a life sentence. If you are looking for a quick fix, then sorry, this information is not for you. But, if you are willing to be open-minded and try new things, we have a resource here that could help change your life forever – Guy

Before you Start… Is your body ready to lose weight?

This may seem like an unusual question but if your digestive system (your gut) isn’t healthy you will struggle to lose weight. An imbalance of gut bacteria arises from the use of antibiotics, lifestyle and bad food choices. Diet soda is a big culprit in destroying good bacteria due to the artificial sweeteners (you can read our thoughts on diet soda here). How can we fix this? Have your gut health checked with any good naturopath before you embark on your weight loss journey.

Our Naturopath Tania explains the importance of gut health here.

gluten free

What Is Gluten?

Gluten is a mixture of several proteins found primarily in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten is very often used as a stabiliser in many products, including sports supplements, which can be a hazardous problem with anyone suffering intolerance’s and is on a wheat free diet.

Definition of Stabilisers: ‘Stabilisers are substances or chemicals that allow food ingredients, which do not mix well, to remain in a homogeneous state after blending’.

Another food stabilizer which is used in many protein supplements is Lecithin, which is derived from soy. Naturally, if you have soy allergies, Lecithin should be avoided. But it is also said, if you are gluten intolerant, soy should be avoided also, as it may contain extracts from wheat, barley or rye.

The importance of fibre

Not only is 180 a gluten free protein powder, it supply’s your bodies needs for protein, essential minerals, nutrients, amino acids, and contains high levels of digestible fibre. Most modern diets deliver only one tenth of the dietary fibre needed on a daily basis. 180 is of the highest natural form of fibre you can eat. Fibre is essential to help stabilize blood sugar levels, detoxify your system, and help combat the onset of many modern day diseases, including fatigue, bowel disorders and osteoporosis.

In a nutshell – Fibre stabilises blood sugar levels, improves your metabolism, digestive track and the role of the liver – which then regulates your metabolism, and processes nutrients better.

    Tania Flack – Naturopath, Sydney

    In a market flooded with protein powders and supplements that are filled with artificial flavourings and chemicals, it is great to find a product that I can recommend to my patients that is based on quality natural ingredients and manufactured to the highest standards. The usual Australian diet is high in refined carbohydrates which encourages an unhealthy muscle to fat ratio which ultimately contributes to many disease processes. Helping patients balance their protein to carbohydrate intake makes a big difference in their health as does the extra boost in nutrients, essentials fatty acids and natural fibre that 180 nutrition provides.

    I would recommend 180 nutrition to anyone who is interested in maintaining a balanced diet and achieving optimal health. Visit Tania’s site here.

Do you have more serious health issues?

Did you know that 180 natural protein supplement is nutrient rich, low GI, high fibre/protein and gluten free? This means that due to these factors our supplement is often recommended by nutritionists to help resolve a variety of health issues, and it could help you. Do you have cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure or any other chronic disease for that matter?

Here’s how our protein supplement can help you.

Overwhelming evidence from a variety of sources, link most chronic diseases seen in the world today to physical inactivity and inappropriate diet consumption, and this is our belief too. Sadly we live in a society where we generally only treat the symptoms of ill health, not the cause. And the cause being mainly the choices we make on a daily basis, from the foods we eat and the activities we do. It is now well recognised that anyone suffering from a chronic disease should be looking at a low Glycemic Index diet. Our gluten free 180 natural protein supplement is 100% pure goodness, and would compliment anyone’s daily diet.

The problems with High-Glycemic (GI) Carbohydrates

The problem with an excessive High-Glycemic Diet, is it raises blood sugars too rapidly, and this is the number one culprit in nutritionally caused health problems. And our society is loaded with High GI foods.

Hi GI foods create an acute excessive insulin response. Insulin is an essential hormone for life, yet acute, chronic elevation of insulin leads to hyperinsulinism, which has been positively linked to Diabetes, obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, blood pressure, mood dysfunction and most chronic diseases.

We recommend a Low-Glycemic approach to food. By doing this, it will have a positive impact on your insulin response, your over all blood sugar levels and your weight too.

What foods should I be eating?

In plain English, a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. It should be organic when possible, all your garden vegetables, especially greens, certain low GI fruits (berries are good), unprocessed meats, nuts, seeds, little starch and NO SUGAR!

Food is perishable, and not made to be processed, it was designed that way. Anything with an extra long shelf life is probably processed, be suspicious. Modern diets are ill suited for our genetic composition. Evolution has not kept pace with the advances in agriculture and food processing resulting in a plague of health problems for modern man.

If you follow these simple rules to food, and combine them with exercise, you’ll be amazed with the results. Your body will be extremely grateful.

What foods shouldn’t I eat?

High GI foods for a start, they include rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas, anything that has white flour or sugar in it, and most processed carbohydrates. Processing can include bleaching, baking, grinding, and refining. If you eat a wheat free diet, you are half way there.

Think like a Caveman. If it wasn’t around back then, the chances are, you shouldn’t be eating it now.

Best Protein powder for women: What’s the difference?

Femal Super heroBy Guy Lawrence

Whether you are male or female. The body requires protein on a daily basis, it’s just that the amounts vary accordingly. To add to this, if you are an active female, or wanting to become more active, then you will require more protein than the sedentary.

The difference with protein powders for women is?

Generally the protein amount per serve is less. But if you are looking for a protein supplement, just be careful of the hidden sugars, preservatives, stabilizers, thickeners and artificial flavourings that are in many of them. Many have slick marketing and are questionable if they are helpful towards ones health over time.

The reality is, male and females 99% of the time eat the same foods, it’s just the quantity that varies. The problem lies within the health and fitness industry, where we are constantly bombarded with slick marketing, new fad products and constant buzz words. There is no best protein powder for women.

The trick is to keep it simple. So if your curiosity for a female protein is to help muscle tone and weight loss, read on.

Weight Loss Misconceptions

We don’t like the word weight loss. As there are many things that make up a persons overall weight, not just the body fat. So standing on the scales alone will only tell a small part of the story.

Generally, when people “diet”, they reduce the quantity of the food they eat, and this can have a very negative effect on the body. They may lose some weight, but it is not necessarily body fat they will lose, it is what makes up the rest of the body, which is known as fat free mass. Our muscle tissue, organs, water, blood and bone mass.

So our body gets compromised, and our muscle mass atrophies (breaks down). The end result is less overall weight, but the same amount of body fat and less muscle mass, and a persons health under stress. (Learn more about health weight loss here.)

We like to encourage a healthy life style and fat loss is a result of a healthier you!

The Key to better health

In plain English, eat protein, natural fats and low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates for each meal. It should be high fibre, organic when possible, all your garden vegetables, especially greens, certain low GI fruits (berries are good), unprocessed meets, nuts, seeds, little starch and NO SUGAR!

Food is perishable, and not made to be processed, it was designed that way. Anything with an extra long shelf life is probably processed, be suspicious. Modern diets are ill suited for our genetic composition. Evolution has not kept pace with the advances in agriculture and food processing resulting in a plague of health problems for modern man.

If you follow these simple rules to food, and combine them with exercise, you’ll be amazed with the results. Your body will be extremely grateful.

Can’t see your feet? It maybe a case of not how, but when.

My FeetBy Guy Lawrence

It’s safe to say, if you stand up straight, look down and can’t see your feet, it maybe a case of not how it’s going to happen, but when. A good friend of mine had this problem once, and he said it wasn’t the only problem he had. A much more important body part was falling out of view too.  On top of this, his overall health and wellbeing was very much under a lot of stress. Continue reading
