The French Paradox

Every day, we humans add to our vast knowledge, experience, and abilities. For example, we can see a single atom with a microscope, use our cell phones to watch the latest music video or plan our day according to a super accurate weather forecast. We even know all about black holes. What are those? They are massive objects in space that scientists cannot see, but we know (somehow???) they have unusual properties.

I wanted to explore one aspect of modern life that has been thoroughly studied since the first caveman’s girlfriend said, “You’re fat. I’m going to find a tinner caveman to date.”

Today, we have food pyramids, diet books, calorie counters, phone dieting apps, smart scales, nutrition consultants, diet coaches, diet foods, Paleo diets, dash diets, gluten-free foods, intermittent fasting, vegetarian options, spin classes, w3atches that count how many steps we have taken, and fitness clubs. It is all right there. Follow plan X to have a fit, thin, and healthy life. GUARNTEED or your money back. Yay!

What is plan X? Eat low-fat foods, avoid carbohydrates, add vegetables, thoroughly chew your food, exercise daily, eat lots of vitamins, see your doctor, hire a fitness coach, avoid meat, and stay far away from gluten. Yes, plan X works 100% of the time! No exceptions.

Well, there is one tiny exception. By the known standards of modern medicine, having a French lifestyle and eating French food is a sure plan for a dreadful life and an early grave. What do the French eat? Cheese, wine, butter, sausage, fats, heavy sauces, and gluten-packed bread. Their lifestyle? They exercise, but not to excess.

Yet, the French population has above-average fitness, happiness, and lifespan levels. What is going on? Despite years of study, scientists, nutritionists, fitness experts, and doctors do not know. Well, it must be one of two things. Either our medical knowledge is wrong, or the entire population of France is fooling the medical experts.

Is the problem really that black and white? This exception is not a rounding error, oversight, or optical illusion. The nation of Frace does not follow the accepted medical guidelines, yet paradoxically, they are mentally and physically healthy. As further proof, I have been to France and witnessed their happy attitudes, fit bodies, and eating habits.

Well, what does this mean? Should we throw away our diet books, exclusively eat French food and adopt a French lifestyle to improve our health? That is where things get interesting. In 1991, Serge Renaud, a scientist from Bordeaux University, presented a paper that coined the phrase. Since 1991, many studies have defended traditional medicine while attempting to debunk the French Paradox. It seems that the medical establishment is working hard to come out on top of this debate. They feel the French Paradox is an illusion.

Yet… As I have stated, I have been to France and seen their healthy people. So, what do I think is going on? Of course, my opinion differs from that of professionals, scientists, and diet coaches. I live in California, and we are known for our excellent wine and cheese. I have also purchased French wines and cheeses in California. To me, they taste no different. However, the food in France was vastly different.

Every evening, we made a ritual of going to a liquor store to purchase a bottle of wine (chosen only by the label decorations), to the cheese store to buy a selection, and to the bakery to purchase a baguette. This was a heavenly experience, and the food disappeared quickly. During the day, we went to the local restaurants, and while the portion sizes were small, the food was tasty. Wine with dinner? It was less expensive than soda. We walked around Paris and went to the museums for the rest of the day.

France has a reputation for mean people, but I never encountered one. They were all friendly and had a relaxed lifestyle. Yet there was more to them. It was as if they had figured out something that the rest of the world had missed. Their take on life was more evolved, open-minded, and centered.

Our trip ended with us feeling great and a little thinner. I recommend you go to France and experience their exceptional food and culture. Yet, I have not explained my theory. In engineering, there is what we call an onion problem. The idea is that multiple interacting issues are causing a failure, and the engineer must isolate each one. I think the French Paradox is this exact type of issue.

Why is the wine, cheese, and bread better in France? California law and shopping preference require preservatives to maintain shelf life and save us from something… Preservatives adversely affect flavor and hinder our health. France does not have high preservative levels, so the food tastes better and is healthier.

My theory is that people like good-tasting and healthy food. When our bodies get quality food, they do not have to gorge on junk food. I rarely saw them eating fast/junk food as we traveled.

The second part of my theory is that a positive attitude affects fitness, health, and diet. A nervous person is more likely to eat and have poor health. In France, they let things slide. Plus, a small amount of red wine calms nerves.

Also, the attitude of a nation is not a trait that comes from diet, exercise, psychology, or medical books. Therefore, the pleasant French outlook is big to study, categorize, or appreciate. French paradox is an extensive interconnecting set of parameters that cannot be categorized or replicated outside their borders.

Yet, there is a big problem with my explanation. The French population has low cholesterol levels. Cheese, bread, butter, and heavy sauces contribute to high cholesterol. So, what is going on? Is it the wine? Maybe, but probably not. So, please ignore my entire theory.

And this is my point. Even with all the information available, I do not know what is happening, nor does everybody else. I use the French Paradox to remind myself that I do not know everything. The paradox rattles around in my bonkers mind to keep me grounded, asking questions and acting less arrogant. But… I wish thinking about the French Paradox could help eliminate my gut.

You’re the best -Bill

saurian uses a fully feathered tyrannosaurus in-game

Not anymore, when news came about over the last scale impression finding, Saurian immediately changed their Tyrannosaurus to be featherless.

I don’t have an issue with the new adult T. rex being featherless, as it is more likely than a fully feathered one as far as paleontologists currently theorize.

However a lot of people including myself think that they jumped the shark suspiciously fast, and i am personally very displeased with their decisions to make the babies and juveniles featherless as well.

In my opinion, while i do enjoy the proportions of the concept art of Saurian’s new Tyrannosaurus, the color design feels rushed and isn’t nearly as iconic-looking as the original one’s color scheme. They could have translated the og T. rex’s colors onto a scaly model, it would have looked much better without seeming too far fetched.

Furthermore the 3D model was absolutely butchered. Yeah they got lots of details and textures and all but it looks shrinkwrapped as all hell.

It’s also a bit suspicious that the last inaccuracy they fixed was the T. rex model… Many news came out soon after invalidating other design element of theirs, but they conveniently stopped caring right after the T. rex.

My theory is that the new T. rex was made in a rush for publicity. T. rex is the most popular extinct genus of all time, and since most people seem bias toward a preference for a featherless T. rex, the news about the scale impressions was obviously about to go viral, and Saurian wanted to be the first to reconstruct the “””Most accurate T. rex evah without feathers !!!“”” so the media would cover it left and right.

And it worked, but at a cost on the quality of the design and especially the model, it also didn’t help the dev team’s reputation within the paleo community, which was already not the best after some artists collaborating with the projects complained that they were very unpleasant to work for. They had also shown some bias in other areas of their game that i’m not fully knowledgeable on, the case i’ve heard of is their decision to call Edmontosaurus “Anatosaurus”. Another thing that shocked me personally is the amount of nerve they had to make the Saurian “artbook” less about their work flow and the concept art and the history of the creation of the game like, you know, a normal artbook, and instead made it a “guide” to the Hell Creek formation, which is cool if you’d like to know about plants and stuff, but the fauna section is full of speculation that is textually treated as fact, and to me, this is unacceptable. Some have argued that it’s a guide to the universe of Saurian rather than irl Hell Creek, but that is made obvious nowhere and as such the speculations should have been treated as such to not trap people into thinking all your shit is 100% true, ESPECIALLY when you, at the same time, suck your own horn constantly by making sure to tell everyone your dinosaurs are the “most accurate ever” all the goddamn time.

I take Saurian drama very personal as this game seemed like a dream come true back then, i threw 150€ that i barely had at their kickstarter and i am immensely disappointed on many levels.

Back to Me

Most people know that I follow an abridged variation of a Paleolithic/Ketogenic diet. It makes me feel the most optimal and reduces a lot of my inflammation and hormonal imbalances. Also I’ve never really been a big carb or grain persons so it was an easy transition mentally. This has just been what has worked for me to feel optimal. When I was younger, I ate whatever I wanted, when I wanted and proceeded to exercise like I was getting paid for it. I don’t have that time or energy anymore so my current lifestyle is well supported by my diet. And while I have a general label for how I eat so other people can easily digest it, I don’t particularly care to label it. I try to keep things paleo but Quest Bars are my crack, literally candy bars. I get one life and even if I reincarnate, the experiences in that lifetime won’t solidify my satisfaction in this one. So I still eat what I want, when I want but instead of focusing on the immediate satisfaction that it gives me, I focus on the long term gratification I can derive while still making sure I don’t feel deprived. It works for me and that’s all I worry about.

Recently, I started a new job, I’ll probably talk about that more in depth at some point, but it’s a very youthful workforce and the company operates in the ad tech space. Which means everyone is aware of diets based on the loose depictions they can find on Instagram; legit, no shade. I’ve been on my food protocol for about 2 years and over the past year have cut down to eating once a day, which I just prefer to be freshly made at home right before bed. This translates to me surviving the work day on coffee and water alone. Which translates to everyone having an opinion on their lack of willpower communicated through copious questions and declarations I’d rather not entertain. Like I said, it’s a new job. But whenever I glaze over the details of how I choose to eat, people immediately start throwing out buzzwords as if I remembered the definition and not the word itself. This is usually followed up with some variation of:

“They say that is/is not good for you because some bullshit study somewhere in some bullshit magazine somewhere else.”

I follow an eating protocol that works for me, my goals, and my overall health from both an internal feeling perspective and careful attention to medical markers. Added fact that I love biology which means I actually look at the basis of science studies to look at their original reasoning for deriving a hypothesis, the control of the study, who backed it, and the subsequent reporting along with the counter arguments. I.e. I look at the big picture and not just what “they say” as a basis for how I live my life and make decisions. How I eat works for me but it may not work for everyone else. I do a lot of people’s diet plans and I almost always start out with a list of carbs to intake. Just because I limit the type and amount of carbs I eat, doesn’t mean that everyone else would benefit from such. I may be an accountant but I am not a copy/paste formula. And “they” don’t know everything. Just because some people have made buckets of what Is and is not healthy does not mean that it is 100% accurate. They haven’t studied you and your bodies reaction to the blanket list that they’ve decided to impart on the public. And the public, being the public, has a low tolerance for research and assuming their own opinions; we all love when some stranger says something on the internet super convincingly and have broken it down in a manner in which we can regurgitate without much reference for what is actually said.

This isn’t a conversation about diets. And I’m no better for the flaw in which I’m pointing out. We all go to pseudo-authorities to help make formalized decisions for us on both short-term and long-term decisions. From what to eat, to figuring out our careers, choosing partners, relaxation methods, methods for creating happiness in our lives, and so much more. Consultation is one of the most common things we all do and we always tend to consult, directly or in-directly, those in which we believe have a stronger foundation in the topic than we do. You want career advice, you consult someone who has a career length or position in which you desire to. You want fitness or dieting advice, you consult the trainer or dietitian. More commonly you follow the person who competes on Instagram or ask your friend who’s always been skinny/buff, depending on your goals. You want to know how to navigate your relationship, you ask people who have relationships in which you aspire to. At least, in theory this is the manner in which people go about things. Everyone consults based on their immediate circle and the manners in which they trust other to help them navigate their problems. I don’t believe in monogamy, yet all of my friends in relationships consult me on how to secure their relationships and improve the quality of because they’re aware I'm going to advise them based on the value of our friendship and not my personal views on the matter. I know trainers that constantly tell their clients that to achieve their results, it require discipline and consistency yet their clients chief question, paraphrasing, is what they can buy to achieve that. So they in turn sell them accountability until the person can gain that for themselves and routines that are built around the person’s goals. At my gym there is a trainer who I’ve seen float the exact same workout to both men and women trying to achieve completely different goals, only changing the duration, intensity and repetition of the workout. That is so not how it works but that is how a lot of people work. “This worked for me or I have found x so it should work for you and anyone else who asks.”

This theme of listening to the “they” hit a real head recently. I greatly enjoy the role of devil’s advocate. No particular reason, it brings me joy and that’s all that matters. So going with the current is rather easy but personally, infuriating. I would go online to browse random sub-reddits and a bunch of jack-offs behind their keyboard were operating on a full level of knowledge, confidence and rudeness you could tell was in-organic. I would entertain a public discord on some newsworthy topic and was subsequently met with opinions that nobody could concretely defend. And all that diet shit I mentioned earlier. So when it was time to decide my next project, I didn’t even want to do one. I looked back on my recent projects and then broadened that to my entire works over the past year from the creation of this website to side projects I had picked up and was entirely confused. I had no idea what I didn’t like about everything as a package nor that impressed by individual projects. Even my posts were bugging me. So far from the course in which I originally set. And somewhere in reflecting on why people found it so appropriate to consult me on my own practices from an outside party in which neither of us ever regarded personally, something clicked. It’s been a very inauthentic experience. Sure I have some projects here that I absolutely adore. Yes, I have gotten to do something I love, work with people in the manner I desire, and develop my skills in a manner I never really thought I could before. Of course this has been a cathartic outlet with great growth and has had a visibly positive impact both in my and other’s lives. It has also just made me grow closer with a lot of people by opening up the realm of conversation. It’s dope. But something still wasn’t clicking. My writing was getting weaker and almost always derived from an emotional perspective. I kept trying to change my website and Instagram layout but could never figure out how to keep it in the manner I developed it. Photo-shoots had more to do with getting content out or making a quick buck on the side rather than developing an idea and creating a story from it.

I had developed a business and parts of my life on the advice and consultation of people who have no actual basis of authority. And doing things strictly to impress others or at the console of something others have an opinion on yet no tangible marker of authority is dissatisfying to say the least. I don’t like social media almost strictly based on not giving a fuck about the facade that people put on to have these amazing lives they don’t nor entertain the countless opinions of people who can’t keep that same energy. I originally designed my website in the taste of my ex-boyfriend who had never designed anything for public consumption or really taken any action on anything. Adjusting concepts and final visions on the advice of a person who just on-looks but doesn’t operate. Then I look at the approach I developed in writing to be more open in my communication about my emotions and life at the advice of all my friends who like to act like they have none, self explanatory why I should have not listened. Broaden the pattern, I had an abysmal living arrangement on the advice of people who suggested the money saved would be best long-term. In short, a bunch of opinions from people who have nothing to lose in the outcome. And it all just settled. I couldn’t take much pride in things when the outcome was based more on the advice of non-active participants than myself. Which was my own fault. I can consult the world but I don’t have to take the world’s advice. It was something I’ve always known and implemented in my life yet neglected in my business. Putting off projects because my consultants didn’t particularly like the idea or get it. Wondering if I needed to go back to the drawing board or if I wasn’t communicating it properly. But it’s not their project. They’re not putting their name on it and quite frankly, if they don’t like it then that is a miss for them. But if I put out a project I’m not invested in, then that is a lost for me that I will always have my name attached to.

So now, on the anniversary of my dive back into photography and writing, I’m going back to the original ideas. I will do things that I want to move in the direction I want. I will consult authorities and opinions alike but will make note of the differences and be sure I’m still just as invested at every step. There is no worse feeling than to have to live according to someone else’s version of happiness, success, and achievement. The manner in which other people live and operate are mere matters of comparison to derive what parts we identify with and which parts we don’t, constructing the best possible experience for ourselves. And I want to bring people the best that I have. I love what I’ve put out over this past year because no matter how good or bad something may be technically, personally, anecdotally, I have a record in which to document my growth. But what is the point of a goal if it is not consistently refined as you achieve it? So when I set out on the first year, I had a lot of goals with a lot of people who are no longer here. Now I have some goals for myself and at the forefront of them, and in the words of Megan Thee Stallion: What The Fuck I Want, When The Fuck I Want!

*And I’m still at the mall with your motherfuckin’ daddy, eh

Hey, do u have any tips on how to lose weight? I have tried working out and it didn’t turn out so well (I broke my ankle)

I hope your ankle is better now! The good news is that the secret to weight loss is that 80% of weight loss in in the kitchen. I think a lot of people assume that you can outrun your diet, but that’s not really the case. The reason is because it’s much more effort to exercise than it is to eat. 30 minutes of running will burn somewhere between 240 and 355, depending on your height, weight, and a couple other factors. For context, a Starbucks Blueberry muffin is 420 calories.

When it comes to weight loss, first things first, if you can, I highly suggest talking to a nutritionist or doctor about this. I have a pretty good working understanding of nutrition and weight loss, but I’m not a professional in this area and it’s important to make sure that you’re approaching weight loss in a way that’s healthy and sustainable for you. I can provide the basics, but ultimately, weight loss is an individual process and these are just generalizations.

When you’re trying to lose weight, the first thing to figure out is how many calories you actually need a day. A lot of companies and websites and weight loss Instagram pages will try to convince you that there’s one easy trick to lose weight or that not all calories are created equal or that people have huge metabolic differences that make it impossible for some people to lose weight, but none of that is really true except on a pedantic level. Weight loss is really just a math equation. If calories eaten is less than the calories you burn, you gain weight. If the calories eaten is equal to calories burned, you maintain your weight.

You can calculate roughly how many calories your body needs per day here. If you have a smart watch (like an AppleWatch or a FitBit), it may be able to give you a more accurate estimate of how many calories you burn in a day, since it can account for heart rate and activity levels, but that should be a pretty good working estimate.

From there, it may be helpful to calculate how many calories you’re consuming a day. If you’re burning 2000 calories per day but you’re consuming 3000 every day, that’s a gain of about two pounds a week (1 pound = ~3500 excess calories), or around 100 pounds per year. Obviously most people aren’t consistently eating at a 1000 calorie surplus every day, but it can be easy to accidentally eat more than you think you are, either by eating foods that are deceptively high in calories (nuts and nut butters, granola, olive oil, in addition to the more typical culprits like a pint of ice cream or a Chipotle burrito), mindlessly snacking, or misjudging portion sizes. Getting an idea of what your daily consumption looks like will give you a good baseline for understanding what changes you would need to make in your diet in order to lose weight. Then, you can figure out how many calories you can reasonably cut out of your diet per day. A 500 calorie deficit (or a pound of weight loss per week) is generally considered a good, sustainable starting place. 1200 calories a day is the minimum amount anyone should be eating, regardless of height, weight, age, or overall size- any lower will create health problems such as malnutrition.

Once you have the math figured out, you’ll need to figure out what lifestyle changes are doable for you. This is different for everyone, which is why there are eight gazillion diet programs that people swear by. For some people, calorie tracking with an app like MyFitnessPal or LoseIt is the easiest way for them to manage their weight. For others, a diet like Atkins, keto, WeightWatchers, paleo, vegan, etc. is helpful because it limits options and typically cuts out high-calorie foods. For other people, intermittent fasting works really well because they’re busy and never really had time for breakfast anyway, but prefer calorie dense foods. You might have to try a few different methods to see what vibes best with your personality. I would also keep an eye out for any triggers you might have- do you eat when you’re emotional or bored, for example? A lot of the time, we use food for things that aren’t hunger/nutrition related. Working through the emotional associations we have with food can be an important part of weight loss for a lot of people.

The last thing I’ll say on the weight loss point is that it’s important to think of weight loss as a lifestyle change instead of a diet. What I mean by that is a lot of people think about diets as temporary- you restrict your food for a set period of time, and then you go back to the way you were eating before. But that kind of mindset will only result in weight gain when you return to your old eating habits. For lasting results, you need to change the way you think about food and the relationship you have to it. This can be really hard, since our relationship with food is typically ingrained in us as children. Meeting with a therapist throughout this process to begin unpacking those associations can be a really good idea, so I would suggest looking into it if you think your eating may be emotional in nature.

Last thing- be kind to yourself. Regardless of your weight or your physical appearance, you’re deserving of love, kindness, and good things. Try to think of weight loss as something you’re doing to help your body. Weight loss is hard and requires patience, and all that will be easier if you’re practicing self-love along the way.

Super Detailed Character Sheet

I had a need for a super long and detailed character sheet so I decided to combine a lot of different sheets I found and add my own questions. There are a lot of questions relating to contemporary things (ex. character’s favourite avenger) these can either be ignored or answered as if the character fits to the question. It is mainly meant for original characters in a non-high-fantasy setting but can still be used for such, I would just advise to find a small character sheet for more detailed questions about their high-fantasy deviations from reality.

Use as you want, but please like or reblog if you do.

I apologise for any mistakes, this took forever and I did not read it all through once more.

THIS HOLDS 430+ QUESTIONS IN VARIOUS SUBJECTS WITH A MISCELLANEOUS PART IN THE END WITH RANDOM/FUNNY QUESTIONS.

Basics/General:

Name: Origin of name: Nickname: Origin of nickname: Does character like nickname?: Birth Date: Place of Birth: Ethnic Background: Citizenship status: Socioeconomic Background: Different from childhood?:

Pandemic Training Diary

Week 1 Day 2

I started day 2, Week 1 waking up late and in pain. I didn’t sleep well. Again. Bad nightmares. Or more accurately. Morning Mares. I’m on specific meds to help with my PTSD related nightmares. The help, but they wear off early in the morning and the nightmares kick in. I get a few hours’ sleep. More than I used to get. But early mornings are hell. At least with the Pandemic I don’t have any appointments and I can sleep in. It’s mostly drifting in and out, but better than nothing. The pain was bad, and it tempted me to take the day off, but I know as a trainer and from experience that movement is essential in dealing with pain. It gets the blood moving and the joints lubricated and it gives you something to focus on other than the pain. And once I got moving I felt a lot better. I started with a Dog Run(See my past post at: https://www.facebook.com/HITTScarborough for a description of this exercise). The first few were barely jogs, but once I got warmed up my pace picked up and the pain started to fade. It was a rainy day in Toronto and that gave me plenty of room outside. There’s a principle for experienced trainees known as Instinctive Training in which you listen to your body and take advantage of conditions to adjust your training. Again, this principle only applies if you’ve had some experience training. If you haven’t it can throw your program off track and even lead to injury as a result of trying something that you haven’t properly prepared for. (That’s how I ended up compressing my lumbar spine. I didn’t warm up properly and tried squatting a heavy weight just because the weights were already on the rack.) I took advantage of the empty park as a result of the rain and brought in Hill Sprints supersetted with High Rep Push Ups. Not that long ago I could still bang out 100 Push Ups with good form, but now I’m down to 40 and 30 Reps with strict form. It wasn’t a big hill. I did four Sprints alternated with Push Ups, ending up with 140 Push Ups. I then picked a flat rock that was a little over knee height and did four sets of 10 Plyo Jumps and 10 Plyo Push Ups off of a pair of rocks. Don’t try this if you’ve never done it before. Again not that long ago I do bang out box jumps with a box at about chest height. I can’t do heavy Barbell Squats anymore because of my spine, and I don’t have access to barbells right now anyway, so the Plyo Jumps are a way of working my legs and glutes. I was well warmed up from the Dog Run and Hill Sprints, so no problem with pain. If fact by then I was in very little pain and I was feeling pretty strong. I could do this because of the rain. With the park empty I had no concerns with social distancing. I finished my walk and did a Lying Series Hatha Yoga set at home. When you’re warmed up is the best time to stretch and using Hatha (Slow Moving) Yoga with focus on the breath helps focus my mind and prevent the pain from returning, at least for a little while. Once that was done, I could finally break my Fast. My focus is on eating clean with a variety of foods, not on any specific diet. While Keto, Paleo, Low Carb, High Protein or Vegan diets work for lots of people, they have had little success for me. So I just keep it simple. A variety of food with lots of raw vegetables. But that’s me. If you have a diet that is working for you in the long term then stick to it. Same goes for the specifics of my training. I’m doing what has worked for me. This might be too much or too dangerous for you. Just adding Push Ups to a good walk can bring in almost the entire upper body. When I was in my prime, in the military, I was rock solid just based on lots of Push Ups and Chin Ups along with cardio. If you can’t do traditional Push Ups for at least 10 Reps, try Push Ups against the wall, moving your feet further and further away to make it harder as you progress. Instead of Rock/Box Jumps you can do High Rep Hops on a Curb, or even just Walk Ups on a Curb to increase your leg strength. All those people who tell you that you can’t build muscle with high reps should try telling that to Speed Skaters or Sprinters, both of who depend on a regime of very high rep leg work. I rested, did some writing and played with the dog in my home while I ate frequent healthy meals. Stopped eating by 8 pm. I find that I’m most prone to eating bad foods later at night, so I’m hoping, by setting a time limit, I can get that under control. I don’t know about the arguments against eating late. Late evening walk. No running. Just a brisk walk. It was painful to start out, but as soon as I got going for a bit, the pain eased up quite a bit. Then I walked Benji and worked on my breathing and posture. The weather kept the trail empty. He met a coyote along the way. Having a great old time with all the people inside. Home. Restful Yoga Series. (See previous post). That’s it for Day 2. So far so good...

4 TYPES OF DIETS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER

You may try many diets from the Intermittent fasting to the paleo diet, keto diet, and vegetarian diet to get your fitness goals done.

Hi, It's Adam parker and welcomes this new article which we will take part in the four most common diets in the world and which diet is the best for you.

Starting with the most famous diet

Ketogenic diet

The keto diet was found in 1921 by Dr. Russel Wilder, MD, of the Mayo Clinic but for the first time, this type of diet was the solution for treating first degree diabetics, extending the life of first degree diabetics and treating children with epilepsy.

The primary role of this diet is to protect against infections and diseases caused by diabetes, whether in the long or short term and as every diet, the ketogenic diet also has some allowed and forbidden food.

How this diet is working?

Once you start the keto it is highly possible to see some changes in your behavior due to the change of your old habit which is eating a lot of carbs more than the Fat and the Protein. You will need a little time to get used to it in a week approximately

the second thing you may notice is your energy everyone who starts this diet notice that the energy level and the focus are very high due to the high protein and fat food which are the favorite for the brain.

The third thing you may notice is the low decreasing of the weight in the first week and you should be patient because your body is on a process to change the source n°1 of the energy which is carbohydrate with the fat and this is the key to success with this diet.

four: you may ask for some alternatives of the sugar; well, they are 3 famous alternatives which are 100% Natural

Stevia

Erythritol

XyloSweet

How to start the ketogenic diet;

as usually every diet start with the right calculation of your daily calories and to bellow them and in order, to that, you will need so information such as your weight and height to get the best results you can start using an application called: Myfitnesspal and you can take a look at this article which I describe accurately the way you can use it.

Second, when you start this diet there is no need to practice any sport if you don't the time or something else.

third, you can divide your daily calories on

5% - 15% of Carbohydrates

70% of Fats

15% -25% of Proteins

as a beginner, I do recommend something that will save time and your effort, follow the link below to read more about my experience with this diet and how she could change my life

My brutally honest review of The 28-Day Keto Challenge

Vegetarian diet

Or veganism was found in 1944 in the united kingdom by a Vegetarian Association to help people eat what the earth produces. many years later and exactly and 1994 the same association decide to make the 1st November as an international day of vegetarians.

Veganism or vegetable diet divide into five types of diets:

First is the vegan: with a highly strict diet, vegan doesn't eat anything had a relationship with animals.

Seconde is the ovo-vegetarian: can't eat anything had a relationship with animals except the eggs.

The third is the Ovo-Lacto vegetarian: can't eat anything had a relationship with animals except the eggs and milk products

The fourth is the pesto vegetarian: can't eat anything had a relationship with animals except fish

and for the last type of diet, we have the flexitarians: That they are vegetarian but if they want to eat something they just eat it that why this type called flexitarians.

For some people, they think it's stupid to leave the animal resources and convert to a vegetarian diet but as every diet, there is the good and the bad

The good thing is the weight: Once you will start this diet you will notice that your weight is always decreasing due to the elimination of a big part of the exportation food.

The second good thing is a long age: Studies have shown that the average age of the vegetarian is above due to the elimination of most of the food that makes you sick with heart disease, pressure, and cancer.

The third benefit of this diet is you are keeping your body always clean and with good health and this is due to eating too many vegetables that contain dissolved and non-dissolved fibers.

The first bad thing you can meet in this diet is the difficulty to get some important vitamins from food such as Vitamin 312, Calcium and Iron, but you can buy some supplements from any drog store just make sure you take good quality.

The second thing is the low Quality of Protein because you can't get all the Amino acid the animal protein from only vegetables.

The third thing: this diet can not be responsible with an athlete so if you have any plan to build muscle then you may need to change it or to try to keep your muscles safe and all of this is because the vegetables can not complete all the amino acids that your body need to start the muscle-building process.

What is Dietary Fiber - dietary fiber definition

Intermittent fasting diet

Intermittent fasting diet is something to become more and more famous. This diet is forcing you to eat for six to eight hours a day and to stop eating for the rest.

The Intermittent fasting was madding for busy people who can not eat during the day and it is divided into three types of diets;

The first type of diet is the lean gain and from the name, you can predict that this type is for the bodybuilder and the athlete.

In this type, you need to eat High carbohydrates meals on the training days, while you need to eat a high-fat meal during the rest days so in this case, you can make sure that your body receives all the important nutrition that could help him to build more muscles.

The second type is called EAT STOP EAT and in this type, you must stop eating for 24 hours continuously and then you can eat anything for the rest of the week.

The last type of diet is the warrior Intermittent fasting diet and in this situation, you need to eat for just four hours and then no more eat for the rest of the day.

During this diet, you can take water, coffee, vitamins and also the whey proteins to help your body continue the process of building muscles, also, you should take your BCAA to protect your muscles from the muscle demolition.

VITAMINS AND HOW IT WORKS?

Paleo diet

You may notice that this diet comes from 15000 years ago and that's because this diet comes from the paleolithic period when our grandfathers eat what nature gives to them.

This diet was developed by Loren Cordain, and the principle of it is that modern humans can be involved and adaptive to the diet of the paleolithic period and not to a modern one. and medical researchers found that refined food such as Sugars and trans fats are directly responsible for degenerative diseases, diabetes, depression obesity, and cancer.

This diet starts to be more and more famous and the principle of the paleo diet forced you to eat only Fish, Lean meat, cruciferous vegetables, eggs, Fruits and Nuts.while you need to exclude Dairy products, cereal grains, legumes or beans, potatoes, processed oils, refined salt, refined sugar.

and as every diet, there is the good and the bad while the good here is: improving your feeling of satiety and fell fullness between meals, improving your sleep, increasing weight loss and you will get clear skin & healthy hair.

For the bad side, this diet doesn't provide enough calcium, too little carbohydrates, and no grains and legumes.

The paleo diet may effectively on:

lower the body weight in the beastes postmenopausal women and decrease the total fat mass.

less your blood fat low your calories and slender waist.

lowering of blood pressure.

improve insulin response.

lower serum lipids.

weight loss.

9 EASY STEPS TO CREATE YOUR PERSONAL DIET PLAN

Conclusion:

In the end, every diet could be effective for you if you know exactly how to self discipline yourself

Diet changes from one to another but the principle is always the same decreasing your daily calories gives you automatically a decreasing of weight it depends on your fitness goals if they are losing the overweight or adding some muscle mass.

Gluten Free Paleo Pumpkin Muffins with Almond Flour

These easy, healthy Gluten Free Paleo Pumpkin Muffins with Almond Flour are SO spicy-sweet and FLUFFY! A yummy, fall breakfast or snack for kids and adults!

PIN Gluten Free Paleo Pumpkin Muffins with Almond Flour

I DID warn you in yesterdays low carb keto pumpkin cheesecake.

I TOLD YA that pumpkin has landed.

So, naturally, I made you gluten free pumpkin muffins because I have your best interests in mind and want you to be able to book-end your day with PUMPKIN SPICE and everything nice.

And, my internet BFFS, pumpkin spice in the form of one of these almond flour pumpkin muffins in the morning, with a little gluten free pumpkin cheesecake night cap, is VRY VRY nice.

Would it be too much to suggest a pumpkin spice latte as well? Is all this pumpkin TOO SOON?

NEVER.

Before you even continue reading, do yourself a favor and get up and make these muffins. No, for real. I see you sitting there. Get up. Liiike, right now.

GO! GO! GO! Run, don’t walk.

You are doing your whole life a disservice if you aren’t getting up close and personal with a FLUFFY but DENSE and CHEWY, spiced and SWEET pumpkin muffin by the end of my nattering. And, considering these muffins need to COOL before any muffin-munchin’ can occur in your real-life-non-internet-life, you need to go NOW.

I always like to tell myself when I am feeling stressed “my life is not an emergency.” But that does not apply to RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE IN A MUFFIN EMERGENCY SITUATION FRIENDS.

The coconut flour pumpkin muffins ingredient list seems very simple and unassuming. Just some easy-peasy pantry essentials like:

The cashew butter is that secret ingredient that gives these gluten free paleo pumpkin muffins with almond flour that DENSE and chewy CRAVEABILITY that is going to make your inner texture freak just SO happy about muffins.

And, really, just life in general.

What can I use instead of cashew butter?

If you don’t have any cashew butter on hand, you can use any nut butter you please! These would be SO good with almond butter. I THINK you could probably even use peanut butter, just not feeling 100 about how peanut butter and pumpkin spice taste together. BUT TRY IT AND TELL ME KAY?

You could even get crazy and add some chocolate to make chocolate healthy gluten free pumpkin muffins!

How do you make pumpkin muffins from scratch?

Like most homemade muffins, you’ll want to mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls.

Add the dry ingredients right on into the wet and stir until combined. Your batter will be THIICK. Have no fear, you’re on the right path to dense and chewy muffin B-L-I-S-S.

My favorite trick: use a big ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into the pans 2/3 of the way full. This ensures PUFFY and PERFECT domed tops! <– The very definition of a muffin worth eating IMO

Bake until the top is golden brown, about 25 minutes, and cool COMPLETELY in the pan.

See? Just 4 easy steps and an ULTRA simple and wholesome ingredient list.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

I’m actually hoping that you already DID DO THIS because I am about to grab a PSL (because never too much pumpkin) and give you a muffin CHEERS in 3..2..1..

LIVIN’ THAT PUMPKIN SPICE LIFE.

Keto Chocolate Muffins gluten-free, paleo

These Keto Chocolate Muffins are a simple, low carb, sweet treat that are so easy to make and loaded with rich chocolatey flavor. This low carb chocolate muffin recipe comes with alternative sweetener options as well, so if you aren’t doing the super low carb thing or if you just want to make these Keto Chocolate Muffins ASAP with pantry staples you already have on hand you can get on in right away.

These Keto Chocolate Muffins are little bit different of a recipe for me. I am not big on baking or sweets and I am also not generally one for using alternative sweeteners, not that there is anything wrong with some of them, necessarily, but it’s just not my scene. Most of the time, if and when I am going to have a little something sweet, I will use a very small amount of maple syrup or honey or a little coconut sugar. We’re talking a small amount, because it’s totally fine and I will be fine and honey and a little sugar won’t kill me.

When I developed this particular Keto Chocolate Muffins recipe, however, I wanted to make a low carb muffin recipe that would be versatile for my different readers and their different needs. I know for many folks eating keto or a low carb diet, they find themselves there due to diabetes or a metabolic condition of some sort where tracking their blood sugar becomes of high importance, so they do have to be more mindful and aware then those of us just choosing this lifestyle to feel good. Having several people in my life, close to me, that are diabetic, I love creating recipes that I know they can enjoy, too and I can feel good knowing they aren’t shoving those super scary artificial sweeteners into their bodies (splenda and the like).

These Keto Chocolate Muffins can be made several different ways. To be fully low carb and low glycemic, I tested the recipe with this Monkfruit Maple Flavored Syrup, which I have found is a nice replacement for baking recipes that use maple syrup or honey. There is a very subtle maple flavor, however, so you are aware, but I find that flavor pairs so nicely with these muffins. It’s not too distinguishable in this recipe, but in other recipes it can be more prevalent.

By using the monkfruit, these Keto Chocolate Muffins (by my calculations) clock in just over 5 net carbs per muffin! Not too shabby.

Go For It, Honey!

I tested this same muffin recipe using both honey and maple syrup, for the folks that don’t want the alternative “natural” sweeteners and aren’t necessarily super low carb or maybe you’re looking for a sweet treat for a carb-up. It works just as wonderfully. Obviously using honey or maple syrup makes these not quite as low carb / low sugar, but if you use honey, one muffin is around 18.5 net carbs, so a nice post-workout sweet bite on those days you want a little more. I really love these muffins made with honey!

Keto Chocolate Muffins Add-Ins and Ons

These Keto Chocolate Muffins are incredible with cacao nibs or your favorite chocolate chips, they are also delicious with hemp hearts, walnuts, pecans and I especially love them with a sprinkle of freeze-dried raspberries inside and on top. That tart little bite, is so nice!

These beautiful plates are from Amy Hamley Ceramics

Keto Chocolate Muffins gluten-free, paleo

2¼ cups blanched almond flour

¼ cup + 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (or cacao powder)

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon sea salt

3 large pasture-raised eggs (room temperature)

½ cup liquid monkfruit syrup (you can also use honey or maple syrup)

¼ cup melted coconut oil, grass-fed butter or ghee

¼ cup cocoa nibs (or dark chocolate chips), freeze dried raspberries, roughly chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, hemp hearts, etc

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cacao powder and salt.

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the monkfruit syrup (honey or maple syrup) melted butter or coconut oil and whisk to combine. Stir in the almond-flour mixture, then carefully fold in any add-ins you are including.

Divide all of the the very dense batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the muffin pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Gently pop the muffins out and cool 10 minutes more on the rack. (Don’t cool them longer than 5 minutes in the hot pan or they’ll get soggy).

I find these muffins do best stored in the refrigerator for u too 5 days or freeze them for up to several months.

The nutrition facts shared with the net carbs being 5.2g / per muffin are for the muffins made with coconut oil and the monkfruit syrup, without any additional add-ins like cacao nibs, nuts or dried raspberries. As always this information cannot be 100% accurate!

DIY Nutrition Plan - A Baseline Study of Yourself.

Since the last article went up, we have had several questions about how exactly I started losing weight. Below is a basic outline I followed to get me going and keep me going down the path.

In case you didn't know, I used to be pretty fat. When I stepped on the scale almost 5 years ago, I was about 100 pounds heavier. Truthfully, I was obese. I was “active” and mostly did things that were considered “healthy,” but I kept putting on weight. Part of the reason I was so chubby were circumstances that I thought were out of my control. Part of the reason was that I was ignorant. Part of the reason was that I was ignoring the obvious. However, I was able to get a plan together that helped me to not only lose weight, but get my life on the track I wanted it to be on. The key for my success was getting my personalized health/nutrition plan dialed in.

Before we go too far, I want you to know that I am a regular guy, writing to regular people. I’m not giving out advice to athletes or elite performers. I’ve never won a race or graced a podium. I’m no gifted athlete, but I’m also not trying to be one. I’m focused on winning at life, not some event. Reality is I’m just a dude who used to be fat and got his act together. I know what it is like to be overweight. I know what it is like to wish for a better way to live every day. It is my desire to help regular folks live a healthy life. Trust me; if I can break away from the chains of my old overweight life, you can, too. You just need a plan.

There are four things you have to take responsibility for before you begin this process:

1) You are in charge of you. Only you can figure out what is best for you. You know the dynamics of your situation. It is your responsibility to figure out how to make this happen in your particular circumstance.

2) Leave your assumptions behind. If you assume you have no assumptions, you are wrong. You will be challenged in this process. Have the ability to be flexible.

3) Things change. You are going to discover some things about yourself along the way. Some are strengths, some are weaknesses. It is your responsibility to take it in stride, change what needs to be changed and continue forward.

4) You get to define what success looks like. What does progress look like to you? One or two pounds? More energy? The ability to play with your kids or grand-kids (or great-grand-kids) without tiring out? You set the standard and work towards it.

With that out of the way, how do you develop a case study of yourself to figure out how nutrition, health and fitness information applies to you specifically?

Here is how I did it:

1) Take at least a week and log all the food you eat to determine how many Carbs (keep up with sugar, too), Proteins and Fats you are consuming. Be honest. Are you sneaking a snack here and there? Are you eating extra helpings at supper? Also note how much caffeine you take in each day. If you can spare the time, an even better option is to log your current habits for two weeks. I use the free MyFitnessPal app from Under Armor. You can use whatever you like. You will start to see your patterns emerge. A good analogy is reading a map. If you know where you want to go, the next most important thing to figure out is where you are at. Without that information, you will never be able to figure how to get to where you want to go. That’s what you are doing by logging your food.

2) Log your workouts and how they make you feel immediately after, hours after and the next day. Workouts provide a good stress to the body. But you have to keep in mind that the overall level of stress you will face during this endeavor is pretty high. During this process, I found it was best to keep the workout intensity low. It is advisable to do things like walking, easy bike rides and other similar low intensity activities. You can up your volume for these activities, but keep it at an aerobic pace. If you don’t know what that really means, a good rule of thumb is work out at a slow enough pace that you can have a conversation. If you have to breathe through your mouth, you are working too hard. Remember, the point of this study is to figure out what fuels you best in day-to-day life. The added stress from hard, anaerobic workouts will be self-defeating. That being said, if you are going to lift weights, shoot for maintaining where you are now, not gaining. Your body will be going through a lot, don’t set it up for failure by forcing it onto a blood sugar roller coaster. There is plenty of time after this test to ramp up your workouts. The whole point of logging workouts is to start to accurately identify the normal feedback your body is giving you. You’ll discover some cool stuff.

3) Log how much time you are sitting, or otherwise not moving. I was astonished at how little I was moving throughout the day, especially on days I worked out. I was an active couch potato. You don’t want to be an active couch potato. I realized my one hour of working out is not enough to offset 9-10 hours of sitting around. It’s better to walk a lot throughout the day than burn yourself out in an hour and have to lounge around the rest of your waking hours. You need to be aware of your daily movement habits.

4) Log any information your body is giving you. Do you have a headache? Did you get phlegmy after a certain meal? Are you tired in the afternoons? How much sleep are you getting? You feeling anxious? Why do you think these things are happening? These are all clues you will use as you figure out how to best fuel your body.

5) Take at least 2 weeks and consume no high glycemic foods (sugar, grain, starch, dairy or processed carbohydrates). Before you start this part, pull up a glycemic chart. That is super handy when you go buy your groceries for this part of the test. There have been books that came out recently that suggest doing this test for 30 days. That’s good, too. I went through this process before those books were written. Two weeks worked for me. The whole point is to let your body switch from primarily sugar burning to fat burning. You will feel it when this happens. If you are unsure you’ve reached this point after 2 weeks, go the whole 30 days. During my two weeks, I even avoided fruit and most nuts. I did eat a few berries though. Throughout this time, eat only real food. Nothing processed from a box or bag, even if it is organic or all-natural. Locally sourced, non-GMO, grass-fed, single ingredient, chemical and antibiotic free are ideal. Some folks call this “eating clean.” Stay away from sugar and anything with a high glycemic score; let your body switch over to burning fat as the primary fuel. You’ll be eating a lot of salads, but that’s ok. Also, it is important to note that I never let myself go hungry during those 2 weeks. When I was hungry, I ate. I didn’t limit the amount of calories I could eat either. I just stayed away from sugar, processed food and anything else with a high glycemic score.

6) After the two weeks (or 30 days if you choose), introduce different carbohydrates one at a time to determine how they make you feel. If they cause a digestive issue, blood pressure issue, or allergic reaction; don’t eat that particular carbohydrate anymore. Do they make you tired? Do they make you hungrier? You will feel a difference. If they don’t bother you at all, you’re good. Almost everyone has some kind of carbohydrate intolerance. This is how you figure out what yours is.

7) Experiment to figure out what combination of macro-nutrients (fat, protein & carbs) fuels you best. This means that after you have figured out what foods you have a negative reaction to (and thus avoid), it’s time to figure out your optimal nutrient ratios. I did this through trial-and-error. Since you are a food logging pro at this point, and you know what foods make you feel good, it is some simple tweaking. An extra salad here, a little less meat there, or even adding an extra avocado to your smoothie. This is where you really dial in how to best fuel your body every day. Simply sliding the scale on the amount of carbs, protein and fats made a huge difference to me.

So, I ask you: What is your personal health plan? Feel free to use this outline as a starting point for your plan. Go and do your own research. Experiment with your food and your body. Learn to read the messages your body is trying to send you. You may find yourself eating in pretty close alignment to some diet (Paleo, Mediterranean, whatever). There’s nothing wrong with that. But ultimately, what you have discovered is a way to determine what best fuels your body. You created a personalized plan that customized to your life.
