NEVER Use Butter Unless It’s This Kind..

Oils and butters are necessary to any diet, but digesting the wrong or too much of anything especially butter can be detrimental to one’s health. Surveys have showed that digestion and cholesterol issues can change dramatically based on which oil and butter is being used. After a study conducted by Bezoni, woman were told to use either coconut oil or soybean oil. After the 12 week study, women who were using the coconut oil had lowered bad cholesterol, increased good cholesterol and reduced stomach fat and circumference.

There are better oils which are made by grass fed cows and can be beneficial in the long run. Soybean oil is one of the oils which can have an adversely negative effect on the body. For example, according to Bezoni, “The soybean oil group basically had the exact OPPOSITE results on their cholesterol levels and they didn’t lose any stomach fat.” Without evidence, people can very easily consume too much of the wrong one and in turn hurt their bodies without knowing it.
It is important to take note of the butter or oils facts and location of origin. Little steps like this go a long way in living a healthy life.

Do THIS After A Cheat Day

Everyone’s favorite day is when they can stuff their mouths with their favorite foods without feeling guilty until the next day or so. There are ways to bounce back from indulging at the weekend barbecue. To start, the day following the cheat day it is important to get proteins back into your body. An easy and effective way to achieve this is to make protein shakes throughout the day. Josh advises drinking up to four shakes a day, high volume of protein with minimum preservatives or sweeteners. The reason these shakes work well after a cheat day is because shakes provide a filling substitute to a full meal and keep you from overeating. Bulking up on good proteins is key after a cheat day, it also helps burn fat.

Another important step to eating healthy after a cheat day is to focus on eating good proteins, and plenty of vegetables as well. Chicken, fish, and turkey accompanied with green vegetables to cleanse the body with high fiber and bloating. These healthy foods also provide good fats which help with digestion and are a great natural way to clear the body of any toxins.

The final step of the three day cheat day rotation is to splurge! This is usually everyone’s favorite step since you are allowed to eat anything you desire. But there is a catch which is to not fill up completely. Also, to never have this meal as the last of the day since sleeping on a full stomach and cause issues and store fats in the wrong place.
While on the cycle, taking the right supplements to work with the diet is a great way to get a head start on weight loss. Controlling blood sugar levels is key as well, supplements can help stabilize the levels and create a smooth diet cycle.

Nutrition Label Miscues

This article is based off information from Josh Bezoni’s official blog.

Nutritional labels are the baseline of determining if a food is either healthy or something that should be avoided. Unfortunately, many of the labels, approved by the government are misleading and offer a false sense of what is healthy. The way companies are portraying their labels are inaccurate but yet legal.

Here is how; when a label provides a serving size, the label then accounts for the fats and sugars in that particular serving size. Even if that portion size is essentially impossible, it is legal in the eyes of manufacturers and government officials. For example, the Pam Cooking Spray label gives a very inaccurate display of their product. They display a serving size of one third second for the time sprayed. Anymore who has used the product in the past understands that at least 3-4 full seconds to coat a pan. Given the serving size of one third of a second, they technically are able to say the product offers zero fat, when in fact the entire can of spray is Canola oil which is fat.

Another example of how several labels are misleading the general public is when meats are brought into the picture. Even though ground turkey is considered healthy, the way the labels are configured make them seem as if they advertise the food is healthier. Labels can display how they are upwards of 85% fat free, when in reality the amount of fat and calories in the serving size is equitable to eating a burger from a fast food restaurant.

Combining common sense and abilities to correctly read labels to eat healthy is a trait which should be always practiced. When at the store next time, reading up on nutrition facts is important to really read the labels correctly, if a food seems too good to be true according to the label, it most likely is.

Food Giants, Unhealthy Meals

Supermarkets these days are packed with thousands of various packaged goods, most of which are provided by the giant four of five national food corporations. Nutritionists and health experts are concerned with having such a small amount of services available, the quality of the food is lowered. Rather than providing nutritious options, they are adding unhealthy amounts of sugar, MSG, and high levels of sodium which are all addictive ingredients. These plethora of ingredients cause consumers to buy in excess which leads to overeating and eventually cases of obesity.

843025-sugarThese so called ‘fake foods’ can sit on grocery shelves for months at a time due to the preservatives and additives they mix in. A great idea of these foods are the packed cupcakes and treats that are easily stuffed into children’s lunchboxes as a quick fix snack. These cupcakes are loaded with sugar and can cause an additivity to sugar and other preservatives.

It is not only colorful foods that can be dangerous, canned fruits and vegetables, meats and snack bars can be dangerous and addictive as well. Even though the giant four corporations attempt to downplay the concerns of nutritionists, researchers have concluded that the chemicals added to these foods are the same found in cigarettes, alcohol and other recreational drugs.

It is up to the public and consumers to push for these companies to begin producing foods without chemicals and additives. Although, it will take some time before changes are made, making sure things change is important for the future. Also, even though prices will increase due to the healthier snacks which will have a short shelf life, majority of people would rather live a healthy life without being addicted to snack bars and having cravings all day. What is worth it for you? A cheaper substitute food which you know is not healthy, or fresh products which you will pay a little extra for.
