Fitpass is supporting your physical wellbeing and I am here to help you fuel your body for peak performance and optimal racing weight by teaching you all about eating the right food at the right time.
As a nutritionist I see clients making the same dietary and lifestyle mistakes all over again. I hear all over again:” but I eat healthy food.”
Mistake #4 Did you know that SUPERFOOD CAN SUPERSIZE YOU?
Are you following the trend of healthy smoothies for breakfast (coconut milk, avocado, peanut butter with banana, chia seeds and extra protein powder)?
Do you eat giant avocado with quinoa salad followed by a healthy raw brownie with coconut whipped cream and you wonder why eating clean doesn’t make you lean?
The answer is easy. You eat & drink more calories than your body needs.
I know that on the previous page I told you not to obsess about calories but eating organic whole food doesn’t mean calorie-free! Unfortunately
Super-foods are calorie-dense, and you need only small amounts to get all the benefits of antioxidants, minerals and healthy fats.
Portion control is essential if you want to lose weight.
What is the example of snack portions?
- 3 Brazil nuts per day
- 2 pieces of fruit
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 tablespoons of seeds
- 2-4 squares of dark chocolate (minimum 75% of cocoa and preferably 90%)
Remaining food (lunch & dinner) could consist of an unlimited amount of green leaves (rucola, spinach)steamed brassica vegetable (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale).
Protein such as 150g of lean fish or 2 eggs per day.
Wondering where is the desert?
Natural sugar such as coconut blossom nectar, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup or fructose are still simple sugars that spike your insulin levels.
By now you know that insulin is a FAT making hormone which you must get under control if you want to lose weight or achieve optimal health.
Read food labels and choose wisely!
Fructose is even more dangerous because it is easily absorbed and stored as fat in the liver so don’t consume more than 2 pieces of fruit per 🥭 and avoid hidden sugar in so-called „sugar-free healthy snack bars“.
