The start of my health journey I have always had an interest in nutrition. This interest (borderline obsession) probably stemmed from a combination of being an athlete, being raised by a health-conscious father, and (if I am being honest), vanity. It was a natural choice for…

Why are these foods so detrimental to health?
Meats & vegetables are the most nutrient dense foods that provide our body with what it needs to stay full during the day. Not only are these the most nutrient dense foods, they are also very low in carbs in sugar. Eating a diet lower in carbs and sugar will help keep your blood sugar stable. Make sure to include fatty meats in the diet too. Fat is an essential macronutrient and helps our bodies absorb essential vitamins and minerals. Here are a few meal ideas I would recommend:
Eat 2-3 filling meals a day and avoid snacking as much as possible. The way to do this is to make sure your meals are filling. Eat foods rich in protein, fiber and healthy fats to stay satiated until the next meal. Try to leave at least 12 hours between the last meal of the day and your first meal of the day. For example, if your last meal of the day is at 7pm, you would wait until 7am to eat again.
If you really need a snack, focus on foods low in sugar and carbs. Dehydrated meat, hard-boiled eggs, raw vegetables, one tbsp. nut butter, nuts and seeds are a good option. For dessert, I recommend berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), dark chocolate (70% minimum) and nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts). Again if you are trying to loose weight, I would recommend limiting snacks and desserts.
It is easy to gain weight if we are chronically stressed. This is because when we are stressed and under slept, our bodies produce hormones that trigger weight gain. Take a short walk every hour, turn off your phone at night, engage in activities that make you happy. 90% of weight loss is what you put into your body…focus on your diet over exercise for weight loss!
