Wonderful advice across the board. They generally overlap with one another in the sense that they each help to build and impact our mental health. I would argue the carb one. Only because there are complex carbs (oats, grains, rice, fruits) and simple carbs like sugar. So, yes, I agree with fewer of the simple carbs like candy or chips. But, remember, carbs are the bodies' first source of energy because they're easier to break down. Granted, there are people who have a carb free life. So it's possible. But, make sure it aligns with your diet and fitness goals.
I'm no expert, but I do know more than most. First of all, meals should be based around carbs particularly for someone who feels low energy. Quickly releasing carbs and sugars can give sugar rushes which may be a large spike of dopamine for the brain as they taste nice, but slow releasing carbs are essential for any diet. This is partly because they are a large source of fibre which is integral for the digestive system, and partly because the body gets most of its energy from them. Examples of these foods are brown rice or bread over white rice or bread; wholegrain flour or oats. You may want to stop consuming carbohydrates because of excess body fat, but if you exercise enough this should not be a problem, as this body fat would be naturally used as energy as the body needs it, therefore the input can equal the output while having a healthy diet. Personally, I wouldn't skip breakfast either, as this slow releasing energy is what helps the brain to focus, but since you have found this works for you there shouldn't be a problem with it. Also, you shouldn't rely on animal fats instead. They are less damaging than junk food for the body as they are natural so have no unnatural chemicals, but can still lead to a build up of cholesterol, which is a build up of fat in the body's arteries. Over decades, this can completely block arteries and this can cause heart attacks, or strokes if in the brain, likely (but not always) resulting in death. Because of genetics, some people naturally have higher cholesterol levels than others, and this is not affected by body type - a thin person can have very high cholesterol and a fat person have it low. However, it is always affected by the amount of fats, particularly saturated, consumed over time. (Saturated fats are usually in solid form, such as butter, while unsaturated are slightly healthier, and usually in liquid form, such as oil). Protein is important to the body for growth and repair, commonly known for muscle but also for other body tissue. There are 2 main types: primary and secondary. Primary, I believe, has higher content and is found from meats and fish. Secondary is slightly lower, and vegan friendly (and I am not saying I am, or agree with them, but people may be because of ethical or religious beliefs). Foods in this category include those such as soya, chickpeas and nuts (the last of which also being fatty). For someone who wants to reduce fats in their diet, they should eat leaner meats such as chicken rather than beef, as an excess of fat can lead to body fat gain and a build up of cholesterol. Fish are also a great source of low fat protein, as long as they are not, for example, deep fried like in fish and chips. It is important to mention that fats are actually extremely important to the body (in case I gave the other impression): Vitamins are divided into fat soluble and water soluble categories; with each helping the body to absorb that way. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble, some examples being vitamin A found in carrots - carrotene - and Vitamin K found in leafy vegetables such as kale, which means they are absorbed into the body by consuming alongside fat; and the C and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B4, B6, B9, and B12 (although this list may be wrong, all the information so far is from my own knowledge, getting the highest grades in GCSE food technology theory)) should be consumed alongside water. This means that if you boil the water-soluble vitamins, you should also drink the water as most of the nutrients would have otherwise dissolved away. The lack of vitamins by not enough fruit or vegetables can be detrimental to the body so it is important you consume enough on a regular basis. Personally, I am confident I eat a varied enough diet daily and so I do not count by intake of each of these food groups but if you are someone not previously aware the recommended government advice of 5 - a - day is good, just make sure to count maturely. (I am from the UK but this may be different in other countries). Fruits also give natural sugars to the body. Other minerals, such as iron, phosphorus, iodine and calcium, are very important too so make sure to include these into your diet. These may be added to toothpaste, for example calcium, as it improves bone strength, but is found naturally in dairy. Calcium especially works well with Vitamin D. Deficiencies in these minerals can be dangerous to the body so make sure to include them too. (Feel free to check any information, I am sure it is right as I am a student who is interested in the topic and gets high grades in it which i chose for my GCSEs but I have not looked up any of the above information. I also wrote it all myself and did not copy/paste anything from anywhere nor copy it by hand.) Thank you for reading.
Congrats my friend. Can you share a full day of your diet? Kep going !
GO GRIND MODE 🕋
