The Good Fat/Bad Fat Debate- 

The reason why it REALLY makes a difference is what fat does at the cellular level in your body. 

 

Good Fat-

  • Will give you fuel to give you energy. 
  • Will give you a steady source of energy that will last with you.
  • Is used to build parts of you- like your brain.  

Bad Fats-

  

  • Will cause a film on the cell wall. 
  • Blunt the cell receptors. 
  • This also will weaken the cell wall.

Sugar and Cellular Inflamation

Are all sugar created equally? Is there such a thing as good sugars to eat?

Fat-Does it REALY MATTER what kind You Eat?

Knowing the importance of cellular function you can't ignore the effects of what sugar does in your body. We all have been told why sugar is bad, but why?  It causes many health conditions that develop inflammation in our body.  Lets face it, this is not something we want to have happen in our bodies.  If knowing this information isn't convincing enough to give up sugar maybe this bullet point list of how it effects your cellular function will help your decrease your consumption.    

  

  • Sugar will compete with the vitamin and mineral receptors. 
  • Sugar will cause a barricade with the cell receptors which means that the nutrients can not get into the cell to nourish the inside of the cell. 
  • Sugar will also cause inflammation on the cell wall, which will weaken the cell wall.

Understanding Food Labels

What to look at in a label

What to look at in a label

What to look at in a label

All labels have a uniform layout.  

  1. Serving Size- If you pay more attention to the serving size of the food item you are eating you don't have to worry to much about weighing or measuring everything out.  
  2. Calories-Look at the quality of the food item instead of the calorie count. A great question to ask yourself is where is the calories in the food item coming from....If it is coming from God-made food then eat it but if it is coming from processed man-made food don't eat it.   

Fat

What to look at in a label

Many will tell you that a good rule of thumb is to stay under 5 grams of fat per meal.  However, eating HEALTHY FATS  is an exception to this school of thought.  All of our bodies need fat to stay healthy.  Take a look at my blog The Key to Great Health is Choosing you Right Foods for additional information on the importance of fats in your diet.   

Cholesterol Labels

What to look at in a label

Cholesterol Labels

Please don't be fooled into thinking that IF you eat Low Fat and Low Cholesterol you will automatically be ensured that your own cholesterol levels will be managed.  This concept is  not the whole picture.  Sugar, and foods that break down into sugar have a large role in your body synthesizing cholesterol.  So when you are reading food labels you need to keep a eye on not only the cholesterol in the food you are eating but the sugar in the food as well.  Also-PLEASE remember that our cellular health relies heavily on healthy our lipid by-layer of fat is  (AKA Cholesterol)  

Sodium

Total Carbohydrates

Cholesterol Labels

Salt is not everyone's enemy!  Your body needs a healthy amount of salt to help maintain the right balance of fluid in your body.  It is important to be aware that not all salt is created equal and iodized and processed salt is not healthy for you.  To reap the health benefits of salt make sure you use real salt not the fake stuff so some great choices are Sea, Himalayan or Kosher salts.  When you consume foods with high sodium like canned, prepared and processed food it will put you at risk of fluid retention, kidney disease, high blood pressure or stroke.  So it is important to be reading the label of your food and choose foods that is low in processed and iodized salt.  When you add your own salt remember to add quality salt so your body can be in balance.  

Total Carbohydrates

Total Carbohydrates

Total Carbohydrates

Total Carbohydrates found in food are broken into subcategories.  When you understand how to calculate the net carbs of a food you will have a better understanding on what is a good choice and not such a good choice.  

  • Fiber- The higher the number the slower that food will break down.  this will help you feel full longer.  Try to look for 5 or more grams per serving.  
  • Sugar- this will negatively affect your blood sugar.  The lower the number the better.  
  • Other Carbs- these may or may not have an effect on blood sugar.  This is where looking at the ingredients is important so you know what you are eating and if it is beneficial to your body.  

Protein

Total Carbohydrates

Total Carbohydrates

15-25 grams of protein per meal is a good target to meet per meal.  For women that is about 4-6 ounces and for men 6-8 ounces for meals and 2-3 ounces of protein for snacks.  

Some examples of protein rich food are- 

Eggs- 6 grams of protein per 1 egg.  

Meat- 7 grams of protein per 1 ounce of cooked meat.
