Daily Nutrition for Good Living And Losing Weight.


What is Good Nutrition?
Trying to eat better? It can be a confusing path. Information about what’s healthy and how to lose weight comes in many shapes and forms, and the information is often contradictory. You might hear the adage, “calories in, calories out.” And the next minute you might read that “not all calories are equal.”

So what’s the truth and what is good nutrition? Do you trust the federal nutrition guidelines, your doctor, your best friend, or the latest trend or do you listen to your body?

If you’re confused and frustrated, you’re not alone. The good news is that all of this confusion only stems from two places:

New science and information being released
People trying to profit
These can overlap – quality companies and manufacturers make good, nutritious food based on the latest health and nutrition science. If you can evaluate the nutrition information you’re reading or hearing and ask where the information comes from, then you’re way ahead of the majority of the population. This guide incorporates that new science and information. We’ll share what the guidelines are and why they have been created.

Let’s start with the information you may have learned in grade school and how it’s changed over the years.

The Basic Food Groups
Do you remember the food pyramid? Presently it looks a bit like this:

6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta
3-5 servings of vegetables
2-3 servings of milk, yogurt, and cheese
2-3 servings of meat, eggs, nuts, eggs, beans
Fats, oils, and sweets – use sparingly
It doesn’t look like a big deal, right? You might look back on your day and think, “Well, I’ve had my six servings of grains and bread. I’ve had my dairy and meats and I’ve even had a fruit or veggie serving today. I’m not doing too badly.”

Serving size matters! Servings are often misleading. For example, one serving of pasta is a half-cup of cooked pasta. Put that on your plate and you might frown because it looks like a quarter of what you might consider to be a serving. However, a serving of vegetables is a full cup. Serving size is where most people get tripped up. Why the difference? Why is a serving of pasta a half cup and a serving of vegetables a full cup? Because, while calories are equal mathematically, your body processes foods differently. Calories from a cookie are not the same as calories from an apple. Don’t worry, we’ll break it down so it’s much easier for you to manage – you can eat nutritiously and lose weight.

Good Nutrition Helps You Lose Weight Because…
With all the fad diets and pills on the market, you might wonder why nutrition matters. Many of the not-so-healthy foods we eat are inflammatory – that is, they make your tissues and cells swell up. This inflammation is responsible for most diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

It also causes weight gain.

Good nutrition reduces inflammation. Instead of constantly trying to repair, your body can function optimally. Good nutrition:

It gives you more energy
Increases your metabolism
Repairs disease and dysfunction
And much more.
Your body is an amazing machine. In many cases, you can reverse the damage done to it by simply changing your diet and fueling your body with the nutrition it needs and deserves. Before we dive into the nitty gritty, let’s have a little fun and debunk some common nutrition myths.
