PROS AND CONS OF INTERMITTENT FASTING by Jason Maxwell – Lately I’ve been attacking Intermittent Fasting on my IG feed saying that it’s not a diet that will help you lose fat. – To tell you the truth no “diet” will work to lose fat unless you’re in a Caloric deficit. But it goes both ways (to a point). Any diet will help you lose WEIGHT if you’re in a caloric deficit including keto intermittent fasting paleo etc. – With that being said I personally use Intermittent Fasting. It’s a tool. I like it while dieting because it allows me to eat larger more satisfying meals and because when I’m fasting it’s easier to avoid eating unhealthy or high calorie foods because I’m simply “not eating bro”. On top of this after 2 weeks of fasting your body seems to suppress hunger so you don’t feel as much hunger as you would on another diet where you’re eating more frequently. – But there are definitely some cons. While fasting your breath will probably stink and you’ll just feel cold and will someti...

How many of you know someone who swears up and down their diet is on point with nothing but healthy foods yet they have an impossible time losing weight? The truth is eating healthy foods alone is not enough to induce fat loss. Many health foods are actually chock full of calories thus leading you to consume far more calories than you realize. No matter how nutrient-dense your diet you will not lose weight if you are not in a calorie deficit. In fact you can very well GAIN body fat on a healthy diet if youre not watching your portion sizes. Go ahead and enjoy these foods if youd like but be mindful of the calorie traps.

Reasons Why Youre Always Hungry – 1. Youre not eating enough protein. In a study from Obesity Society found that men who ate 25% of their calories from protein for 12 weeks experienced a 50% reduction in their desire for late night snacks – 2. Youre not sleeping enough. Sleep deprivation is known to cause fluctuations in your hunger hormone levels and may leave you feeling hungry more frequently. – 3. Youre eating too many refined carbs. Refined carb lack fiber and cause blood sugar fluctuations. – 4. Your diet is too low in fat. Fat plays important role on slowing digestion and increasing the production of fullness promoting hormones – 5. Youre not drinking enough water. You might be just thirsty not hungry. So when you feel hungry have yorself a glass of water! – 6. You exercise a lot. Those who regularly exercise at high intensity or for long durations tend to have greater appetites and faster metabolism. – 7. Youre drinking too much alcohol. Alcohol consumption can cause you to f...

I could go more into detail but here is the basics #Repost @sam_xceedfit (@get_repost) How do many Different Diets Work? . . Important; there is not a ‘one size fits all’ policy when it comes to nutrition. Different methods work for different people at different stages of their lives. I don’t care what certain people or documentaries try to scare you into believing. You have to do what works for you! . . On that note with so many different dietary methods out there it can get confusing when deciding how and what to eat. The fact is it shouldn’t be confusing because all methods work on one underlying theme: . Reduction of calories = Fat Loss . If you removed a food group from your diet of course you will lose weight (some fat some water maybe muscle depending on the extremity of the deficit) because you are eating less! . Paleo: Remove processed foods = less calories = fat loss . Ketogenic: Remove carbs = less calories = fat loss . Intermittent Fasting: Remove 1-2 meals = less calori...

IIFYM misconception by Ann Pfau So you’re telling me I can build muscle and lose fat while eating junk food?” – Well you can fit in SOME unhealthy foods if you want but try to hit your macros micros and get enough fiber while eating nothing but junk food. It’s not going to happen. You’ll go way over your carbs and fat without hitting your protein. Anyone who follows flexible dieting will typically eat tons of fruits veggies lean meats and anything else you would consider healthy. Flexible dieting is more about the mindset of allowing yourself to occasionally fit in some treats to keep you sane. It’s not a challenge to see how much junk you can eat in a day and still hit your macros. – I recommend getting a minimum of 85% of your foods from the typical healthy foods and if you want you can fill the remaining calories with more of a treat. You don’t have to. You can eat 100% healthy foods if you wish. I do that most of the time. However you can still reach your fitness goals by incorpo...

LOVE this visual and caption by : When it comes to nutrition there has always been an emphasis placed on carbs and/or protein over fat however dietary fat is still an essential macronutrient which offers many benefits for both GAINS & HEALTH/OTHER. Gains: As lifters fat can influence anabolic hormone concentrations which may be of interest when seeking LBM gain (Volek et al 1997 Salter & Phillips 2011). Diets low in fat (<20%) have shown to result in significant reductions in test (Dorgan et al 1996 Hämäläinen et al 1983) HOWEVER research suggests that a drop in test doesnt necessarily equate to a loss of LBM & that when protein is matched a higher carb intake (Mettler et al 2010) appears to be more effective at preventing LBM loses than a lower carb/higher fat approach (Walberg et al 2007). In laymans terms maintaining/increasing carbs to fuel lifting performance (with adequate protein of course) is more effective for gains than trying to maintain test with higher fat...

If Your Gut Can Talk. These are things that you should know – Is your poop on schedule? If your arent pooping regularly you could be holding onto food you ate days even weeks ago. Ate hanging around longer than it should also means it putrefies in your body longer. – Processed foods are space invaders. They cause inflammation in the lining of our GI tract the exact place where food is absorbed. – Not always a fan of gluten. A study from NCBI found that gluten increases intestinal permeability (leaky gut) even if you dont have celiac disease. – It gets lonely without prebiotics. Prebiotics like onions garlic asparagus bananas and legumes play a different role from probiotics. They feed good bacteria in your gut help reinoculate your microbiome. – Fill me up with sauerkraut! Fermented foods like kimchi sauerkraut and miso help your gut break down foods and improve immune system – Sleep in on the weekends. Getting enough sleep helps lower cortisol levels and allows the gut to repair its...

Mars protein bar. Appearance: looks similar to the real McCoy but it’s been scaled down some.it does come in the familiar black Mars wrapper is coated in chocolate although it’s a very thin coating it’s got a caramel layer (again very thin) and a nougat centre. All the elements are present but they have been scaled back. Texture: not bad the chocolate cracks the caramel is sticky and overall it’s pretty similar to a regular Mars but the centre is quite a bit chewier and bit on the dry side. Taste: Not bad the chocolate coating tastes like chocolate although there’s not enough of it the caramel tastes pretty good but again it’s pretty scarce. The nought centre is sweet but a little bland. Overall it does have an authentic Mars flavour. Macros Calories:200 Fat:4.6 Carbs:22 Sugar:13 Protein:19 To its credit that is a pretty good split. Fats are really low (probably one of the lowest I’ve seen in a bar) the 19g protein combines form a blend (soya milk isolate and whey concentrate) I def...

I love pizza and you don’t have to give it up either. I love to do online ordering so that I can customize it to fit my macros. Now I am not saying to eat this everyday but why not eat it once in a while? Swipe to see calorie count. Can you believe these two slices are around 400? Here’s my order: Pizza Hut -Thin crust no crust flavor -classic marinara large -choose your favorite veggies: mine is mushrooms. #iifym #nutrition #fitness #flexibledieting #pizza #onlinecoach #fitnessmotivation #diettips #weigtlosstips #motivation #pizzahut #keto #lowcarb #lowcal #healthy #pizzahut #foodielife #nutritioncoach #coach #love #gym #weightwatchers #papajohns Source by ashantilineman

Let’s dial into it instantly. What should you eat in a day ? As I suggested in the previous post as a Hard Gainer you should look for high calorie low volume food so that you can get enough nutrients and calories in a small quantity of food. And these could come from: – Carbohydrate sources could be: pasta bread rice potatoes pizza cereals jam ice cream froyo candies. Hell you can even drink sugary drinks ! …Oh but WAIT SUGAR ? (!!!) Yeah read my post on it before freaking out: www.instagram.com… _ Also you wanna limit your fiber intake because that would satiate you easily and that would be kind of a pain in the ass to make sure you get all of the nutrients in to make sure you’re in a daily surplus. Besides the fact that you would blow up and fart like crazy. Less fruits and veggies please. Aim for 12-14g per thousand of #calories eaten. – Fats could come form olive oil fatty fishes nuts butter PB dark chocolate mozzarella whole eggs full fat dairy products. – Protein could come fr...

BALANCE YOUR MACROS WITHOUT A CALCULATOR !! _ There are 3 types of people in this world. Ones who can do math and ones who cant. lol! _ In my opinion the best way to maintain your optimal health including well-rounded nourishment and good energy levels is to eat a balanced diet of macronutrients (macros). This consists of fat protein and carbs. _ But for those of you who see my weekly preps you know that I take the #IIFYM (if it fits your macros) method pretty seriously by calculating … Source by callmemrshardy

Today was a grocery shopping errand day…went out for Chinese food which we haven’t done in forever. Tried the Curry shrimp. It was the lunch portion and I knew it wouldn’t be enough food if I didn’t eat the rice. I didn’t have soup or the egg roll or anything else..so I figured that I totally blew my carbs for the day because it is a low carb day…but I ended up being okay because I ate low carb the rest of the day!! And it was so good. I always check the fortune cookie and I loved my fortune and my husband’s was similar too!! Good day overall and restocked the fridge! Came home and had tofu ( cooked in a copper pan if you haven’t tried one you need to!) Cottage cheese and cucmber tomato salad with fresh mozzarella balls!! So for the entire day I came in at 1367 calories 99 g c/66g f/ 111g p. Calories and protein are lower than what I wanted but pretty good overall. Worked shoulder and abs tonight! #chinesefood #fastfood #restaurantfood #cleaneating #tofu #shrimp #carbcycling #...

Repost from Carter Good – If you’re scared or worried that eating carbs will automatically lead to gaining fat read this next sentence 10 times sloooowly … –> The only way you’ll gain excess fat from eating carbs is if you’re eating enough of them to ALSO be in a calorie surplus You see carb haters like to get their panties in a bunch over things like insulin and sugar… Truth is you could eat pancakes w/ syrup & sprinkles on top for every meal and not gain weight as long as you’re controlling calories… Likewise you could sit around eating eggs & bacon all day consuming virtually zero carbs and gain fat if you end up consuming too many calories. Plus there are a TON of benefits that come with eating carbs: carbs provide your body with energy and are particularly useful for folks trying to build lean muscle fiber from carbs plays an important role in digestive health (aka they’ll help you not be this guy –> ) they’re delicious & good for the soul carbs are the main ma...

Saturday grind – weight hovering around the same while in #GAINZ mode. Update: Aiming for a gain of .25-.5 pounds a week. What I thought was #ketoflu was actually hemoglobin not carrying enough oxygen to head (thanks to blood work and lab interpreting). Red meat and calories increased and dizzy subsiding. Adding potassium-magnesium supplement to daily intake to avoid the calf cramps at night. Still taking in great amounts of sodium (sea salt and chicken powder). Macros currently: 80% fat 15% protein 5% carbs – #ketogenic diet may not be best for my goal – stay tuned.

Counting macros at panda? I love how you can stay under 300 calories. Ordering a side of veggies will be about 80 calories and the string bean chicken will only be around 190 calories. #panda #pandaexpress #chinesefood #quinoa #iifym #nutrition #fitness #flexibledieting #pizza #onlinecoach #fitnessmotivation #diettips #weigtlosstips #motivation #pizzahut #keto #lowcarb #lowcal #healthy #pizzahut #foodielife #nutritioncoach #coach #love #gym #weightwatchers #gym #motivation #weightloss #anorexiarecovery #ketogenicdiet @officialpandaexpress Source by ashantilineman
