I'm writing about two subjects, the role proteins and fats (fat does not create fat) play with our body and food cycling. I'm interested in learning about Food Cycling for weight loss (management) cleansing and rejuvenating a body.
Dr. Heidi Dulay, nutrition consultant helps people take the guess work out of What to Eat at
Little Spa while she works with food cycling for weight loss or for someone like me who just needs help figuring out the best food for health.
What is food cycling? Cycle through several food plans to balance and pamper your body.
What makes this work?
1. Food cycles. Bodies know that there’s a time for fat burning, and a time for cleansing and rejuvenation. A time for discipline, and a time for comfort or celebration. And when a body is in balance, it wants what’s truly good for it. The Food Cycling Program guides you through these eating stages for lasting weight loss.
2. Commitment to health and rejuvenation. There's nothing toxic (like artificial sweeteners) or likely to compromise health in the long run (like fat deprivation). Instead, we focus on preventing or reversing aging while you lose weight.
3. Commitment to pleasure, ease and individuality. Chronic stress is harmful to health and causes fat storage. Disliking what you eat causes your body to contract and shut down. So, we tailor programs to you -- eliminating anything stressful or unappealing, and addressing your unique conditions, life style and goals.
When Dr. Heidi works with you on food cycling - what do you come away with?
Your personal biochemical profile pointing to likely causes of your excess weight
Quick and simple ways to eat -- a daily plan and basic recipes for each cycle
The art of eating out
Pleasant surprises when cravings disappear
Guilt-free celebration
Permission to eat good fats
Synergistic, on-purpose supplements
Stable mood, clearer mind, better sleep
Energy, optimism and a feeling of control
And a
little spa feeling in your life that helps the changes last.
Dr. Heidi's two nutritional weight management programs are briefly described
here.
There's more from Dr. Heidi,
Today I read a post from Kim Klaver on
Are Your Vitamins Safe blog and had to share it.
Dr. Heidi Dulay, the professor, nutrition consultant and designer of the whole food multi that
Whole Food Nation markets got this question from a class she teaches:
What foods should they recommend to their clients seeking nutritional help? And how to decide these things, anyway? (The students are health practitioners in-the-making.)
This Master's program nutrition course is about different dietary approaches.
And I mean REALLY different - from the raw milk diet, the Inuit beast and blubber diet (meat, fish and fat which Dulay is personally testing for two weeks), the Polish diet (a version of beast and blubber) along with the more well-known approaches such as Paleo and Atkins, among others.)
OK, good question, says Dr. Heidi.
Here's a way to look at choosing foods for yourself and your nutrition clients...
A normally functioning body uses what you eat (specifically, uses the biochemicals in the foods you eat), in three ways:
Function (hormones, enzymes, make antibodies, etc.),
Structure (bones/muscles/teeth; Cells/cell membranes, hair/skin/nails)
Storage (fuel for a rainy day plus excess fats...)
No biggie, even I knew that (well, sort of).
Then came the surprise.
Guess what kinds of foods the body uses for these three things?
FUNCTION: Protein and Fat.
STRUCTURE: Protein and Fat. All except for connective tissue, which uses protein and sugar)
And then the bomb:
STORAGE BINS: Carbs, sugars (sweets) and fat. (Not the good fat you eat in say, butter. Stored fat is the sort the body makes from the excess carbs and sweets we feed it).
Yikes. Have you checked your storage bins lately? The love handles, the paunches, bulges and other lumpy places?
It's 4pm. About to have a quick snack fix? Are you considering...
Carbs, sugars or sweets: bread, rice, pasta, chips and crackers, cookies, cereal like corn flakes, corn, muffins, pizza crust, and all sweets, especially the big sweet caffeine drinks.
Right into the storage bin it goes. Arghh.
I could use a snack lift. But I see my storage bins are already overflowing right now. So organic nuts or cheese this time.
