Should we be worrying about our health and letting our weight take care of itself? In this webinar Dr Giles Yeo examines the data for how we view calories and how this needs to change. It looks at:. How the calories on nutritional labels are derived — and why they are wrong 2. How this concept of caloric availability underlies how most if not all diets work 3. Why focussing on the nutritional quality of food, as opposed to calorie counting, should be the way forward. Please note, webinars are not intended to be used by non-medically qualified individuals or as a substitute for, or basis for any medical treatment.

Add hello mynutriweb. With the help of FDA caloric suggestions, consumers ran into an alarming dietary deception. The use and obsession of food calories presents a greater danger than small creatures making our jeans tight… it corrupts the whole concept of healthy eating. Common story: a shopper starts by scouring the snack isle, searching for a product to satiate their potato chip craving with the least amount of calories per ounce.
After careful deliberation and calculation, he or she settles on a bag of air-popped popcorn laden with artificial butter flavor and toxic vegetable oils. As the result of compelling media, marketing and labeling, many consumers focus more attention on quantity, not quality.
Instead of shopping the nutritional label, shop the ingredient list. That deserves your time and attention. Healthy eating is complicated, no doubt about it.
First you hear butter is bad, then it prevents cancer. First carbs kill you, then they make you lose weight. Even spinach is confusing… should one eat it raw or is that dangerous? Nutrition labels, however, deceptively simplify healthy eating. Yet dangerous. That mindset leads to eating disorders, infertility, disease, and depression since it encourages the consumption of processed foods instead of nourishing foods. After all, if a box of cereal claims, high protein, fat free, and only 80 calories per serving!
Perhaps, but the slick marketing claims mask the fact that the processed cereal causes inflammation. And the fact that your body needs good, old-fashioned fats found in butter and egg yolks. And that the cereal offers little more nutrition than the box in which it is packaged.
I believe that healthy eating is simple, but not simple in terms of calories. Calorie-consciousness shifts emphasis from how you eat to how much you eat.
Counting calories ultimately prevents a harmonious relationship with food. Instead of welcoming food as life-giving nourishment, calorie counting produces apprehension of food. I believe our bodies knows what, when and how to eat and—if we listen to that quiet voice—we can heal ourselves. It is hard to change habits and blindly trust our bodies , however. So if you need help, try visiting a naturopath or energy practitioner to get tested for food allergies and dis-ease in the digestive system.
Sadly, that creates a mechanical, stressful relationship with food. Weight loss begins with whole, nourishing foods prepared at home. It means eating mindfully, chewing thoroughly, and releasing gratitude and joy for each bite you raise to your lips. As I mentioned above, paying attention to calories establishes a stress-based relationship with food. Stressing out while eating is a bad idea because it interrupts the entire digestive process. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the flight-or-flight response in the body.
Arousing this reaction shuts down the digestive system so the body can focus on the dangerous situation at hand. Stress, Food and Inflammation: Psychoneuroimmunology and Nutrition at the Cutting Edge explains how stress affects the vagus nerve, a key piece in the digestive process:. Because the vagus nerve innervates tissues involved in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, including the stomach, pancreas, and liver, vagal activation directly and profoundly influences metabolic responses to food … Both depression and stress have well-documented negative effects on vagal activation as indexed by heart rate variability.
A number of calories does not reflect how effectively that energy will be used by the body. For example, calories of coconut oil provides quick-burning energy that is easily used by the body and not stored as fat.
The fatty acids in coconut oil boost metabolism and components like lauric acid fight candida overgrowth. It is also extremely satiating.
