How Intuitive is your eating?
This assessment is the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 designed by Tylka TL and Kroon Van Diest AM.
CICO Explained
You probably have a friend who has told you that "a calorie is not a calorie". Most likely, you also have another friend informing you that calories are the only thing that matters. Maybe you think your emotional well-being is ultimately dependant on being in a caloric deficit because that is the only way you will feel amazing like you did when you were 25, and you were twenty pounds lighter. Maybe calories in a label is that magic number that makes you feel either guilty or guilt-free after eating food. Yup, calories, what a unit measure! Kilometers, Celsius Degrees, Yards, Newtons, Watts, Nanoseconds, none of the other unit measures have this emotional and manipulative power over us. Well, watch the video today to get some clarity on the topic. Nerd alert! There is some heavy math in it! No, not really. Enjoy!
Nutrition, Sex, and Priorities
Don’t get me wrong, you can still buy pre-made food, order food, whatever you like, just be intentional about it and don’t let convenience and value be your first priorities. Put nutritional value first and then pick the most convenient cheapest option you can find. Don’t let advertisement victimize you and save you at the same time. Gain control of your shit! Set your priorities right and find yourself a high-quality lover for lunch time.
Superfoods vs. Evilfoods
It was just two years ago that the Huffington Post delivered this amazing article: “A Glass Of Red Wine Is The Equivalent To An Hour At The Gym, Says New Study”. It was an outstanding piece of modern journalism. It finally answered the question that had been troubling nutritionists and doctors for ages: why do...
Stay Active
No matter what. I could drop the mic there and leave. But I will not. Get this. Your brain does not function as well when you are inactive. You are not as productive and your thinking is not as sharp. I am not talking about being super fit and lifting all the weights and doing...
Study yourself
This story made me realize that when it comes to nutrition it’s not that we cannot see reality, it is that we have NO IDEA. We were never taught how to evaluate whether our eating habits are actually good or not. We have beliefs about nutrition, but we have no way to test those beliefs and, to be honest, most don’t even feel the need to test them. To make things worse, the internet is full of the next best shiny diet: ketogenic, veganism, vegetarianism, low carb, high carb, carnivore diet, paleo diet, whole 30, weight watchers, organic free-range home-schooled turduckens, etc. Combine genuine ignorance with media telling us that there is such a thing as Good Eating that is independent of our genetics, our socio-economic context, our cultural background, and our present state, that there exists a one-size-fits-all nutritional approach that will guarantee you results, and you are clusterfucked, my friend.
