Eat clean or count calories?

24 Jan 2021

Count your calories! Have a high protein diet! Low fat diets will make you lose weight! Keto diets are the best! The diet industry had us confused all along !

We are being tricked to perceive calories as the enemy and that high calorie foods makes us fat thus forgetting the role of crucial nutrients and vitamins found in butter, olive oils, nuts and seeds, healthy fats that are mostly limited in low calorie/low fat diets.

DO NOT COUNT YOUR CALORIES BUT RATHER EAT WHOLESOME FOODS.

Fat: guilty or innocent?

Many debates revolve around fat; is it here to kill you or to save you from a heart attack?

There are different types of fat, the bad fats: saturated fat (from animal source mainly) and trans fats (created in labs to better preserve industrial pastries) and the good fats; monounsaturated fats (olive oil, canola oil..) and polyunsaturated fats (omega 6 and omega 3 found in fish oil and some seeds).

Saturated fat sources are butter, lard, cheese, and red meat. Trans fats are mainly found in margarine, donuts and industrial sweets.

The second trimester is often the easiest stage, when women start to feel less tired.

Yogis change their whole attitude towards practice as they start to create space ,respect their limitations and accept changes in energy levels.New yoginis will find prenatal yoga very soothing at this stage.

The second trimester requires modifications to stance,creating room for the belly by separating the feet (uttanasana and chair pose),thus providing extra stability.

Balancing poses such as tree pose, eagle pose and dancer pose can be done next to a wall for safety and security.

If a women is used to an intense practice ,she should stop that the moment she finds out she is pregnant.The first trimester is the most delicate phase and miscarriages are most likely to occur at that stage.

Vegan salad

It has been a while since I have not posted any of my recipes. I wanted to start with a vegan dish in order to pinpoint the importance of going vegan once per day or per week to cleanse the body.

Needless to say that your veggies should be organic to benefit from their vitamins and minerals without pesticides poisoning your system.

Ingredients:

organic white beans

organic zucchini

organic tomatoes

cumin

olive oil

himalayan salt

lemon juice

Soak your beans overnight with 1/2 tsp of baking soda

Boil twice by changing the water to limit bloating.

Cut zucchinis in thin slices and grill

Mix lemon juice,cumin,salt and olive oil with your beans

and serve!
