Single Nutrition Solution
By Amy Goodson
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat foods that had only
one ingredient, the food itself? Or in other words “a single food”.
Could it improve your health, shape up your body composition, help you
lose weight, and maybe even help you feel better?
A s a registered dietitian, people are always asking me, ”How can I lose
weight?”, “How can I get rid of cellulite?”, “How can I have more
energy?”. Well, I have an answer: eat clean and be lean! The reality is
that Americans eat processed food after processed food. Everything comes
in a package, a box, or better yet…a package inside a package. We have
more “healthy” and “diet” food on the market than ever before and yet
65% of America is overweight. Hmm, are we missing the big picture?
Take a look at our genes…our ancestors did not have a weight problem,
let’s look at their lives. They hunted food (buffalo, bison, deer,
chicken, fish). They gathered food (fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts,
whole grains). And they walked to do all of it (exercise!). Nothing they
ate came in a package, a box, a container or had a list of ingredients
attached. They ate single food, or foods that each had one ingredient,
itself.
If you are trying to improve your health, lose weight and feel better, I
have a challenge for you, eat single foods! Try a single food breakfast
(hard boiled egg, bowl of fresh fruit and some raw almonds with an
espresso), a single food salad for lunch (lettuce, veggies, pecans,
avocado, corn, and berries), a single foods dinner (grilled salmon,
sweet potato, roasted broccoli and cauliflower) and supplement with
single food snacks during the day (apple, natural almond butter, a Lara
Bar, raw veggies with a banana and a few walnuts).
It's a whole approach with one simple rule, eat clean and be lean.Share This:
