Where do people learn what is healthy and what isn’t? With the exception of few, that make the effort to search, read and educate themselves, most people blindly trust the widely spread information in media and society. Every day, you read headlines like, “4 Rules for Weight Loss”, “10 Rules for Healthy Eating” and so forth. All these “rules” make healthy living a burden. Just like laws, limit our actions, “rules” for healthy eating and weight loss, actually limit our progress!

Probably you will ask “Why?”? Well, if all these rules, tactics and strategies, really worked, why is society getting more and more obese? If all this worked, why do people constantly wander from diet to diet, from failure to failure, while they reach a point, where they either quit striving to get healthier and fitter or decide to start educating themselves…

Today it is time for me to get in the role of answering questions, and my invisible friend will be asking them! Our conversation is gonna revolve around low-carb, high-fat diets; common myths about them and the use of a ketogenic diet!

Q: Ok, last week I think I understood why a high fat diet isn’t going to raise my cholesterol and that it is insulin I should watch like a hawk. I’ve been thinking a lot to start eating a high fat, low carbohydrate diet, but I still have some concerns.
A: Glad you understood my explanation. Go ahead and tell me what scares you about eating a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. Hope I could help!

Q: You know that carbs are essential nutrients for life. After all they are the preferred body fuel. How am I gonna be healthy if I rely on fat to be my main fuel?

Today I think to cheat on my usual style of writing and experiment with a Q&A. I will be answering the questions and my invisible friend( that could be anybody who insists eating fats, increases cholesterol levels) will ask the questions! 🙂

Q: Oh, you look great! What’s your nutrition like?

A: I eat red meat, eggs, fish, butter, nuts, some vegetables and occasionally some fruits.

Q: Isn’t that dangerous for your health? With all the fat you eat, I bet you have high cholesterol and you are crying for a heart disease! I think you should rethink your diet and start eating more carbohydrates and cut on the fat!

Everybody in the fitness industry is searching for the best diet that fits all. There are so many different nutrition plans and you will find people that had great success with ____(insert any diet here) and probably you will find as many people that followed the same diet but didn’t have the same positive results.

Truth is that we are all different individuals. All of us have a different lifestyle and different preferences. Some prefer eating 3-5 times a day. Other prefer eating just one or two big meals a day. Some like eating three big meals with one snack in between. There are countless ways to structure your nutrition plan. So no matter how hard somebody tries to find The Holy Grail, and discover the one diet that fits all, it is impossible!

One huge mistake made by most women and men, who want to lose weight is thinking that the longer the workout the faster they will melt the fat. I have friends who workout all the time- running, jumping on rope, going to aerobics and so on. The interesting thing is that obviously this approach does not work. I haven’t noticed some results and no visible changes. The hard work they put in, isn’t proportional to the results they get!

This reminds me of moments in life, when we think that fate has a grudge on us- we work so hard and the results are literally not there! Here, pops up the question why?

Lately I notice that a lot of people search articles about coffee on my website. Some of you even reached me on facebook asking me for my opinion about coffee. I thought what to share with you about coffee, because my opinion would be kind of subjective, as I really love drinking coffee! J

I will try to stay away from my personal attraction to coffee and I will objectively tell you my opinion.

Probably you’ve heard a lot of controversy opinions and results from different researches on the topic of coffee and its effects on health. The reasons behind this, (more…)

Everything is normal. You get out of bed, you have your healthy breakfast and go to work. Everything is as usual, you are eating better than ever and suddenly something happens- the urge to eat some chocolate, some sweets or other junk appears.

You wonder what in the world is going on. You haven’t cheated in a long time and now the craving is stronger than you are. You feel like a doll with a remote and it seems like your navigator insists on you eating a piece of cake, some cookies or a piece of chocolate.

Why does that happen? (more…)

Yesterday I logged in on my facebook profile and I had a notification from one of my favorite facebook groups Eat Clean (no crap)! Train Smart. Stay Awesome. Forever. I read a post from Peter Haas(one of the group members) that went on something like that “ What was your defining moment? The moment when you decided to make a drastic change by eating clean/working out/etc.?”

As I started reading the comments below, I thought what was my defining moment? That “aha” moment, when something flipped and I was determined to change my unhealthy habits. It was (more…)

…I just started eating healthy throughout the day. I am sure that most of you had or still have this problem… you open your eyes and it is still dark. Obviously it is not time to get out of bed. Oh, no! You feel the urge to eat during the night, go to the fridge and eat something- if it could be something sweet, that’d be perfect!

Why does it happen like that? Why do you wake up in the middle of the night with a strong desire to eat? (more…)

Today my grandma is having a birthday. This reminds me of the time I became interested in the food I eat. Before that I was “the good kid” that used to eat everything. Of course I was the favorite guest, because I wasn’t pretentious and it wasn’t hard to please me. When I started eating healthy and I began rejecting desserts and other treats, I had a serious conflict with most of my friends and family. All of them indignantly asked how I could be so disrespectful by refusing to eat a chocolate for a birthday party or a piece of cake or pizza.( In my country we treat people with chocolates for our birthday and we say “Eat some for health”…go figure… J)

Back then, I used to have really tough moments, (more…)

Yesterday while I was reading my daily dose of articles, I stumbled upon an article, that is something between a tragedy and comedy or let’s make up a word tragicomedy( that is the word that would describe the case). The article is about a lady who managed to suit Ferrero( the company that manufactures the chocolate Nutella) for $3 millions. She claims that she was misled by Nutella’s commercial, that it is a healthy food and for about 4 years she fed her daughter with it, thinking it is good for her!

Sometimes I wonder how such absurd situations are even possible? How is it possible for a reasonable person, to be misled that Nutella is healthy? Here is the “misleading” commercial that led to four years of “healthy eating”! (more…)

When you give opportunity to your lazy- self to take over your life, you spend your life sleeping, sitting and just wasting your time on Earth. You think that active lifestyle will make you tired and worn out…

Then you wake up and you are bored again. You need socializing, so you go out and eat. You visit fast food restaurants and indulge in tons of unhealthy foods, and you think that makes you happy!
