What is The Perfect Diet for me?

With so many podcasts, summits, experts, gurus and advertising companies it can be super challenging to know exactly which food you should eat for your body.

We can help narrow it down.

The Health & Nutrition Information Overwhelm is Real.

You’ve got your health professionals who are legally obliged to give you the food pyramid advice (and I know it’s known as the food ‘plate’ now, but same, same).

You have all of the micronutrient experts that tell you to stay away from certain types of food because it has these dangerous antinutrients (come on guys, why are you scaring people away from veggies).

Then the detox/cleanse girls that proudly say with their 25 year old, child free body’s that this latest juice cleanse went so well for me, OMG I just, like, feel so good (give it 20 years and they finally might understand what it really means to be a woman trying to lose weight).

And finally you have your instagram personal trainers that relentlessly beat on the calorie deficit drum, in between times that they beat on their chest and show us yet another photo of their abs (we get it mate, you’re a big scary man, grrrr!).

There are so many options, ideas, research to back up every claim that literally anyone has not to mention the opinions of millions of people that do not understand how the body works and although well intentioned share their thoughts with no knowledge of the long-term effects of what they’re telling you to do.

So all that boils down to this question: What the heck should I eat?

Lose weight and keep it off with the right guidance.

Getting One Step Closer With Genetics

We have to look at our genetics and how we got to where we are today.

The genetic reality is that we haven’t really evolved a great deal, nutritionally speaking, in a few thousand years, if not several hundred thousand years.

We’re eating at a frequency, a volume and a diversity that our bodies and the genes that run those bodies have never seen before. Eating too much, too often, and what we are eating is made mostly of chemical crap like additives, colourings, caking agents, vegetable oils and are completely devoid of actual human cell building nutrition.

The only foods that our genes know what to do with are those that are perfectly packaged nutritional powerhouses that we’ve eaten in nature for all of human history.

So knowing all this, what is the right thing to do?

Understanding Your Body’s Evolutionary Needs

In reality, there is no such thing as a perfect diet. However, there are some general principles that work extremely well for our clients that achieve lasting weight loss, repair their gut health issues and give their energy levels a massive boost (and getting this stuff right makes you feel a million bucks better than eating all the wrong stuff).

The diet that your body and it’s genes are most familiar with eating is a low carbohydrate diet with a really healthy amount of protein and a high amount of fat (I know, I know I said fat, yes I did. The right type of fat is extremely healthy for you). This is in line with what the proper human diet should actually include. The great thing is that we know for a fact that this works because it wasn’t that long ago that it was normal – simply check out a photo of your grandparents family from the 50s. Or even a photo from the 60s of the beach or a crowd – it is very difficult to find an overweight person in photos of large groups of people from these eras and for all the centuries beforehand.

It’s only been in the commercialisation of the food industry in conjunction with the commercialisation of the western medical business that we have lost sight of which food is good for our genes, guts and overall to reduce the risk of diseases that were once either rare, or never existed.

Is Low Carb Safe for Women Given the Monthly Hormonal Cycle?

The answer is 3-fold:

  1. Firstly, everyone is different and the same thing does not work for everyone (some people thrive on zero carbs, others thrive on a more wholesome diet).
  2. Doing low carb properly guided by a nutritionist will ensure everything you need is fulfilled – when you still have your period, your nutritional requirements change week to week and you should know what that means (hello chocolate craving week).
  3. Low carb is not no carb, so ensuring that you know which carbohydrates to add into your diet will mean you have a healthy cycle whilst also achieving your health goals.

How Can We Help You?

All this also goes hand in hand with much of the emotional eating work we do with clients. It’s a great counter balance because on one hand we work on the emotional attachment and drive to eat and then with the physical body we get the nutrition right to optimise the gut microbiome and blood sugar levels to ensure you can reduce and eliminate the cravings that once drove you to eat and ended up making you feel crappy in your body.
