ListenFat Grams, Calories and Carbs are NOT Nutrition!

We believe we know the true value of nutrition, but we dont!

Get rid of the clichs and learn something solid

By Laura Belg-Adams C.M.

We have completely overlooked the obvious. We think that eating healthy is some BIG mystery. We can all agree there are things we dont know, like there are some elaborate tricks and secrets only the celebrities know about cracking the code to good nutrition and weight loss! But not so. Everything we have ever needed has always been right in front of our faces. We need to go back to the basics with our foods.

Lets look at the orange. We have this beautiful, healthy, wonderful piece of fruit that growers spray with pesticides and manufacturers taint with sugar and additives and call it orange juice; not realizing how the processes product has changed the actual value of this simple and pure fruit and plummeted nutritional significant.

I want to impress upon everyone the importance of good nutrition. I am absolutely shocked that the majority of our country does not discuss. We are groomed or raised to understand this concept. Most people know when they eat a vegetable it is for them, but they dont even know why. Let me make myself very clear when I say this. People are discussing calories, fat and carbohydrates, but not nutrition. We eat a meal thinking it is nutritional for us, but have no idea what the food is really doing.

For example, when I ask a client in my office what they had for lunch. They reply they ate a tuna fish sub from a sandwich shop thinking they have done well because tuna is known to be a diet food. They have not considered is the tuna is full of preservatives or is cheap fish that has been compromised. Often bad cuts of meat or fish are being used.

Now onto the bread. The bread these sandwiches are made of is full of processed flour, processed sugar, preservatives and artificial flavorings that can make a piece of food taste like something that it isnt. People are proud when they tell me they have eaten wheat bread. No one thinks about the physiological repercussions of eating processed foods. Does this person understand how that meal just affected their heart, their liver, their blood, their pancreas or even their brain?

During the processing of wheat bread, they germinate the wheat and then bleach it. The bread has the ability to sit on the store shelf for long periods of time, rendering the bread nutritionally deplete. When a person eats bread, it can lie dormant and ferment in the intestinal tract and can breed off all types of unfriendly bacteria and by not moving freely through the system can cause intestinal blockages. A large stomach is not always fat. It could be bloating or swelling from too many carbohydrates or a yeast related diet. Our society cannot make proper nutritional decisions unless proper information is given.

Many years ago, when I would walk through the produce department of a grocery store I had no clue what to do with 75% of the vegetables I saw. This really bothered me! Many of us talk about calories fat grams and carbs bit have no idea what is fattening and what isnt. We have a backward notion about nutrition. We look at a plate of food and have little knowledge of what each ingredient does for our body.

The big issues is how I am constantly running across diabetics that dont know what a carbohydrate is. This shocks me to no end. These are the foods that affect your blood sugar! What is even more shocking is that most of them have visited a NUTRITIONALIST!!!

I have found that people who have gone to school to become nutritionists are often backward in their nutritional thinking. They change their clients diet, advising the wrong foods, causing people to become even sicker. Then the client comes to me because they cant figure out why they dont feel better. There are too many overweight and sick people out there for anyone to disagree with the concept I am discussing. This saddens me far beyond what I can express. I sincerely hope to see a major change during my lifetime.

Eating healthy doesnt have anything to do with eating processed foods. It has to do with eating in a more pure form. When the body receives the right type of nutrition, the heart functions properly your organs work well allowing the lungs liver and kidneys to do their job. With proper nutrition your weight wont be an issue. Your skin and hair will glow and you will breathe well. We think clearly when good nutrition is in the body. We feel and look better as well. We need to take a look at our food much more seriously and learn the nutritional value.

My suggestion is to read the ingredients of the foods before you purchase. If there are more than 12 to 30 ingredients you cannot pronounce you are eating poison in your foods and you should put it back on the shelf.

People always make the excuse and say Im just going to pick up something quick to eat. We all say this and in all reality, its not so quick! Fast Food is not so fast! We as a society on a whole are not educated or geared toward this line of thinking about the truth. For example, that a piece of tilapia take 1 to 2 minutes to cook per side. Or that an apple takes 20 seconds to wash, etc. Pure foods literally take less time to prepare than driving to the fast food place for Fast Food.

My husband was a body builder for many years and concerned only with outside of his body rather than the inside (as many body are). He ate crappy processed food before I met him. Even though my husband knew I was a good cook, he was reluctant at first to even taste some of the food I offered. I cant tell you how many times I came at him with a spoonful of food and he had his hands held over his mouth. Pretty funny seeing a grown man act like a little kid, but he had no idea eating well could taste so good. I am grateful he came around and now we have found many healthy whole foods that he loves. He looks and feels so much better. We just dont know until we are introduced to good tasting and healthy food how amazing good nutrition can be for us.

America has lost the concept that foods which aid and help your body and are not fatteningcan taste good. Our taste buds remember the dietetic foods that came out in the 70s and 80s and the awful after-taste from consuming these products. Once again, processed foods! Many diet products today still have this after-taste but we have acclimated our taste buds because we are told diet products are good for us. This simply is not true. First of all, if the food has been marked Fat-Free have you ever wondered what process is used to make it fat-free? If a product is marked Gluten-Free what chemicals did they substitute the food with to make it gluten-free?

So let me share with you some simple, very good nutritional ideas. To begin with, you can purchase nutritional bars that taste like candy bars are loaded with nutrition. There are not many available however, if you take the time you can find them and they will be fulfilling and nutritious. Please read the ingredients. Just know I always load my clients up with awesome food suggestions which they find to be helpful.

Few people are familiar with the Daikon Radish, It doesnt look or taste like a regular red radish and is excellent for the thyroid. You can purchase the Daikon at Whole Foods or Asian grocery stores. To make a delicious Daikon Radish salad, start by dicing the raw radish into a large bowl. Cover with sea salt and refrigerate overnight. Daikon makes its own juice, so all you have to do is stir it and viola. You now have a yummy Daikon salad. You can eat it plain or add spinach or other vegetables. Eating this salad can help clean up thyroid issues in just a few days. Amazing results!
