So, I have counted at least sixty five 'fads' that seem to be floating around the internet-stratosphere and some of them are just crazy! I read yesterday an article that explains the belief of "eating air" and how our bodies are healed from all things simply by breathing.. Ah, ok. I am open minded but I think this is just a wee bit to far fetched. If i wanted to look like an anorexic male that lacks/starves himself of all nutrition, i'd be excited to try it!
RDI - Recommended Daily Intake is something that I do believe in. It's what doctor's call "healthy" and guidelines to tailor/suit each every individual person. I found this great website that allows you to get a 'personalised' RDI plan that gives you the low down on how many grams of things your body needs per day to maintain your current weight.
** You can find this at http://www.consumer.org.nz/reports/rdi-calculator/rdi-calculator and its created by the ministry of health for people residing in NZ and AU!
--> As you can see here most of the recommended foods are either chicken, fish, meat, KFC, beef... so it's easy for substituting these things.
Try nuts, tofu, vegetarian meat, lentils, beans, soy based products, eggs (very high in protein) and milk.
Here's a bit of advice from a great website i stumbled across today;
The only diet on earth that actually works is the one you can live with for the rest of your life. Maintaining a healthy weight is not a race; it is a lifetime commitment. That’s the trouble with “diets”. Whether you do Atkins or Pritikin, peanut butter or ice cream, veal or veganism, you can and probably will lose weight if you are cutting back your caloric intake. (Of course, the health value of these diets varies significantly.) I’m not necessarily opposed to a “jump start” if you are severely overweight and need to lose excess pounds. But recognize that the only true way to keep trim is to maintain a lifestyle that supports it. It sounds ridiculous, almost stupid, and yet this tortoise approach eludes so many of us.
There are several body types. Some of us are simply prone to thicker musculature or a bit more body fat (which is why the BMI is so limited in its utility). I promise, if you follow a healthy lifestyle, your body will eventually get to – and maintain – the exact weight it is supposed to maintain. Eating light meals based upon fresh vegetables and a bit of lean protein and healthy fats, managing stress, and exercising at least 3 times a week (but preferably 4 to 6), is the only way your body can permanently do what it naturally wants to do. And that is to be strong, fit, and appropriately lean according to your particular physique. We don’t really need diets because the body is perfectly capable of maintaining itself healthily if the lifestyle supports it. Slow and steady wins the race.
