Dietary fat was once the most demonized macronutrient. Now it is carbs. Funny how that works huh? 🤪 - If you lived through the low fat era like me, you might still have a tough time eating fat without believing it will make you fat or lead to heart disease. 😐 - As trendy as brain fog, hunger, and hormone imbalances are, we’ve since accepted that dietary fat is not the devil and is actually needed for good health. 💪 - As with most things: moderation is key. Eating fat won’t make you gain weight, eating too many calories will though. Whether those excess calories come from protein, carbs, or fat... that’s up to you 😉 - Of course, choosing healthy fats vs. things like trans fats (found in processed foods) but be weary of any diet that demonizes a whole macronutrient. 😬 - Swipe right to see all the rest of the macronutrient food sources 💪 - #macrocounting #macro #fat #dietaryfat #nutrition #health #healthyfats #healthy #food #workout #nutrition #eat #diet #diettips #keto #lowcarb #highcarblowfat #faddiets https://www.instagram.com/p/CIob1DcMTwp/?igshid=1rqpi8bdtxnil

👏Stop 👏with 👏 fad👏 diets👏. Keto. Atkins. Low fat. Paleo. 🙅🏼‍♀️ Just stop. These diets are unsustainable at best and deadly at worst. YOU KNOW HOW TO EAT BETTER. Humans have survived for millennia without needing food scales or even nutrition labels. Ask anyone on the street what constitutes a healthy diet and they will tell you: Fruits, veggies, whole foods. Whether they are fresh, frozen, or even canned, opt for real food over packaged and processed. If it has ingredients you can't pronounce, skip it. There is so much more to health than losing weight, dropping fat, or getting "skinny." Stop destroying your body. Please. You only get one 😞. . . . . . . #endfaddiets #nofaddiets #faddiets #rantover #psa #eatgoodfeelgood #itsnotrocketscience #healthyeating #newyearsresolution #takecareofyourself #loveyourself #hippocrates #nutritioncertified #holisticnutrition #holistichealth #dietculture #dietcultureneedstodie #forksoverknives #wfpb

Sure, eating only cabbage soup, being on a liquid diet, or “master cleanse” might help you lose weight for a day and give your butthole a taste of spice, 🌶 but then what? ⠀ ⠀ Unfortunately, when people hop on these type of diets it is because they tend to start them in a place of self hate and desperation. This won’t get you very far. I personally can’t recall a time acting out of desperation put me in a better situation. 😬 quite the opposite actually. ⠀ ⠀ Starting your health and fitness journey should come from a place of self love. Love yourself enough to be patient with your body and give it the nutrients it needs to thrive on in the long run. Our bodies are actually quite amazing and keep us going each day even when we are not so kind to it. Try to keep the focus more on what your body does for you, not so much on what you can do to your body to try to force it into submission. ⠀ ⠀ Sustainability is key. Small changes over time are going to be way more beneficial than drastic short term changes. Everyone is different and it might take some time to figure out what works best for you but a few things that you can start with are: ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Eat more whole food: Veggies and lean meats help keep you full longer and are full of nutrients your body needs. ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Stop drinking your calories: Soda, Juice, flavored coffee drinks, sweetened tea, etc. these calories add up and they don’t fill you up like eating your calories does. ⠀ ⠀ 🚨Find a good therapist: Self awareness, growth, and coping skills are amazing tools to have. Therapy is the best thing I have ever invested in. ⠀ ⠀ Your body is amazing and you are capable of amazing things ❤️⠀ ⠀ #health #healthy #nutrition #diet #weightloss #fatloss #mentalhealth #exercise #workout #fit #fitness #diettips #faddiets #ftm #motivation ⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wS7-5g7pi/?igshid=b5et8xhoqwhs

⠀ Unless you have some sort of medical condition that requires you to be on a liquid diet, or you are trying to gain weight, drinking your calories even if it is in the form of a smoothie full of healthy ingredients is not going to be a great option if you are trying to lose weight. ⠀ ⠀ Rarely would you ever sit down and eat a whole quart of strawberries, a banana, and an apple in one sitting… and if you did, you would most likely feel quite full after and probably also be ripping ass. 💨 ⠀ ⠀ Blending this amount of fruit and taking them in as a smoothie makes consuming this amount of fruit all at once more doable and also doesn’t keep you full very long. This is why smoothies can be helpful for those trying to gain weight lol ⠀ ⠀ Sure, a smoothie might be more nutrient dense, and a better option when you are on the go in comparison to a high calorie coffee drink with 0 nutrient benefit but it is still not a good option in comparison to just eating the fruit whole. ⠀ ⠀ When you are in a calorie deficit your best friend is going to be volume. Eating foods that are higher in nutrients and volume, but have less calories is going to keep you full longer and keep you from feeling hungry and deprived. ⠀ ⠀ A couple easy volume hacks:⠀ ⠀ ✅ Instead of a burrito or a sandwich: go for a big salad with lots of veggies and protein. You can sub a lot of volume for the same amount of calories that are in a tortilla or a bun. ( I am not saying give up burritos and sandwiches forever, calm down. There is a time and a place for them still. ) Also, choose your salad dressing wisely because you can easily overdo it on calories with the dressing. Always ask for dressing on the side and choose an oil and vinegar dressing over dressings like ranch, or thousand island. ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Sub rice for potatoes, sweet potatoes, or a side of veggies. Rice doesn’t contain much fiber and is pretty easy to overeat. You can get a lot more volume with potatoes/veggies for the same amount of calories. ⠀ ⠀ Keep smoothies a treat, not a daily staple 😁⠀ ⠀ #health #nutrition #diet #weightloss #fatloss #exercise #workout #fit #fitness #diettips #faddiets #ftm #motivation #calories #smoothie https://www.instagram.com/p/B9evCgZgw7y/?igshid=wssmxfpwzryh
