Diet Disasters! Why You Can Do Too Much Of A Good Thing

Monday, September 26, 2016

Looking to eat the right foods, in the right amounts and prepared right, is a wise and noble goal. When we eat well, we have more energy, we are healthier and we can lose weight and keep it off. And as time goes on, there are more efforts to keep us on the right path. This is a good thing, wouldn't you agree?
Well, hang on a moment. The increase in recommendations to eat this, cut that out, make sure we're getting enough of these, and so on, may be well intentioned. The difference between intent and result, however, can be quite considerable. When we are looking to get the best from our diet, we need to be cautious. Because the truth is that we can receive conflicting information, and it can be genuinely problematic.
When it comes to trying to stay healthy, we need to make sure we're getting things right. This can mean sifting through all the information we receive to figure out what will work, what won't and how to balance things.
Juicing - You Know You Should Do It, But How?
Fruit and veg are essential in our diet, for the nutrients they contain. There are important vitamins and minerals contained in these foods - and it can be tough to eat as much of them as we know we need to. Through juicing, we can gain much of the benefit we need to. Sources such as Juicer Cruiser show us exactly how big a difference we can make.
Daily Green Juice -7105:
The problem is that many people hear about juicing and think that they can get all the nutrients they need just from drinking green juice. Certainly, we can get a lot. But if we use juices to replace fruit and veg in food form, we're missing out on a lot of nutrients and playing a damaging game with blood sugar. You might as well try to live on ketchup. We need to eat veg on a daily basis, at least.
Fat-Free Food - Not As Healthy As It Sounds?
We know that eating a lot of fatty food is bad. The clue is right there in the name, isn't it? We know we have to avoid it if we want to stay healthy. So when we see "fat-free" options in our supermarket, we load the trolley with them and are confident we're doing right. The problem is that many fat-free options ramp up the sugar content and are thus no healthier. Plus we need some fat anyway.
Going No-Carb - Can You Go Too Far?
Too many carbohydrates in your diet can be a major problem, as we all know. It leads to weight gain and can cause a range of other issues too. And for that reason, there are countless diet plans that vaunt the benefits of going no-carb. The problem is that carbs are a source of energy - without any carbs, you can end up very easily feeling faint and lacking concentration
So, by all means you should cut down on carbohydrates if you need to lose weight. But don't cut them out entirely. Eat some potatoes or rice on a regular basis, just not too much of either. Cut down on bread, by all means - it has more ill-effects than most sources - but don't kill off carbs altogether.
