For the start of the New Year, a different format for Zoe. Instead of a couple of experts in discussion with Jonathan Wolf, two people Beck and Mark l from different perspectives, why they followed Zoe nutritional advice, what they expected to gain, and did the advice meet expectations? Plus additional input from Tim Spector and Sarah Berry.
Becky struggling with weight control. Yo-yo diets. Calorie counting does not work. Now is able to maintain desired weight without dieting.
Mark eating what he thought was a healthy diet but did not feel healthy but does now.
A healthier diet , feel better.
Focus on the quality of food, not counting calories. Counting calories, too simplistic.
Eat three Mars bars, ok, so long as within the calorie quota. But what if, ate other than a few Mars and still within the calorie quota?
The expose on fat, The Big Fat Surprise, which for many will be an eye opener.
Does eating healthily make a difference, being mindful of what we eat?
It’s that time of Year , New Year Resolutions , Stop Smoking, Lose Weight, Veganuary. By the end of the week, most have fallen by the wayside.
I’ve never made New Year Resolutions. It has always seemed to me a pointless exercise. If I want to do something I do it.
There is though a psychological reason for starting on the first of the month. A fresh start, a new beginning. So what better way to start then the First of January with a New Year Resolution. A New Year, a fresh start?
One possibility. Three fermented foods a day. This is based on a Stanford study, five fermented foods a day. Zoe replicated the study with 5000 volunteers, three fermented foods a day. Both studies showed marked improvement in health. I tried last year. No noticeable improvement.
A discussion between Tim Spector, Sarah Berry and Jonathan Wolf, eight ways we can improve our health by eating better in the New Year.
Counting calories is not the way to lose weight. Yo-yo diets.
We are not short of protein. Ignore the protein scams. Multi-billion dollar scam. The average person on a varied diet eats more than sufficient protein. Additional protein is not stored. It passes through or is converted to sugars and fat.
Positive changes to our diet lead to improvements in how we feel within days.
