Cascading Diet Recommendations
by Alexander Becker on February 25, 2008 | Link
Improving your health through your diet isn't an all-or-nothing game.
The two general directions -- exercise × nutrition -- apparently weren't enough.
Try it this time with some structured and even more importantly, cascading recommendations, meaning you start with the first and work up the ladder with each adhered-to point making your diet more and more healthy and your body more and more lean.
Let's set up a baseline to work your way up from --
Each one of the following nos works almost equally as a less. In other words, you don't have to go strict, instead you can go slower on these items and benefit as well -- albeit slower. It's a simple progression. Please note that, the higher on he list, the more important it is to say no rather than less.
What to avoid
- Transfat; therefore no fried foods.
- (Even partly) hydrogenated fats; therefore no margarine, no peanut butter (except natural) -- eat regular butter if you like.
- Refined, white flour; that's no cake.
- Simple or added sugar; no candy, that is.
What to eat
The goal: Eat as much "whole and natural, fresh food" as you can.
Note that this is no advice to go low-carb, eg. on a diet low in carbohydrates. In fact, it is nothing more than trying to get you to eat as healthy as possible.
How much?
As much as you want. Chances are you don't eat enough anyway.
And no. A calorie is not a calorie. Or do you really think that a five-hundred-calorie cake is worth the same, nutrition-wise, as five-hundred calories in vegetables or meat?
That's it. Again, eat as clean as possible and move as much as you can. Everything counts.
