Surely you have seen in many You buy products, or articles that talk about nutrition or diet in magazines newspapers or magazines, a pyramid.
This pyramid shows all the products we consume grouped in different steps. Of course at the base are the foods to be consumed and more as we go up steps are the foods that we consume a lesser amount or lesser frequency. The pyramid you will see is that promulgated by the FDA, Foods & Drugs Administration ( Food and Drug Administration ). This is an American organization of governmental regulating food and plenty of medicinal products in such a way to certify the safety of American consumers and the effectiveness of drugs (drugs in English refers to drugs) marketed, its prestige is internationally recognized and used as a guide or advice on the amounts of nutrients needed for optimal health.
This pyramid is based on carbohydrates like rice, bread, cereals and pasta, in the second tier are the fruits and vegetables, in the third meats, eggs, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy and derivatives and the last are oils, fats, butter and sweets.
This is the commonly accepted model and the truth is that the results are not good, and there are many reputable voices who disagree with this model. In the U.S., where more studies and data, fats that have been treated as the enemy number one, have ensured that their consumption does not increase, but obesity and related diseases have continued to grow. What is the problem?, If increased consumption of carbohydrates, and they are treated as a benign food alerts have not jumped. Furthermore, as the agencies they keep telling us to consume rice, pasta, bread, etc.., People see their habit ratified.
Carbohydrates consumed in excess are bad! With our sedentary lifestyle, consume carbohydrates as if they are worn, the body builds up and accumulates as fat which is the only fuel that has no limit. We discussed that the hydrates are stored as glycogen, but this is a very limited stock.
I think we should follow the pyramid is enacting among others an American doctor named Barry Sears for over fifteen years, which is called "Zone Diet". I think it's one of the models more balanced and healthy diet there is, although the principle on which it is the food control our hormones and other chemical messengers called eicosanoids, which in other books or texts or call parahormonas cellular chemical messengers.
As basa Barry Sears, is that our basic food products can not be in our food have appeared just 10,000 years. A very short biological time and to which the human body is not adapted. Cereals, rice, bread and pasta are products that have appeared to agriculture and the discovery of fire to cook. Before the man did not consume these products. In agree this is another Spanish physician named Jose Enrique Campillo, Professor of Physiology and scholar among other topics of diabetes. In his book, I recommend, "The monkey obese," we review the evolution of man (phylogeny) and gastronomic customs, reaching the same conclusions as Dr. Sears.
The Zone Diet pyramid has its base in foods we should eat more, and more have used the man's long evolutionary history that are fruits and vegetables, on the second step are proteins, and more specifically the low in saturated fat (as you see has nothing to do with our friend Atkins), the third step momoinsaturadas fats, and at the top of the pyramid and the occasional food like bread, cereals, potatoes, starches, etc..
I believe that what they say makes more sense, than so badly enacted and is giving us so far, the traditional pyramid. The data do not lie, there is increasing overweight and obesity. The supermarket shelves are full of low-fat and cholesterol, but full of carbohydrates. Moreover if you see your labels will surely see the recommendations of the FDA, or our famous pyramid incitándote to consume these products and their "ficiticio" health value.
Just give you a hint, change your servings of pasta, bread, rice and potatoes, with fruit and vegetables, I assure you adelgazareis, will not have any energy deficit, or vitamins and minerals.
But wait and you'll see as government agencies ended up giving the reason for the increasing number of qualified voices against our current model.
Interesting exchanges and noble purpose I see arising from our posts, jlabrador Thanks! and I'm happy for everyone, a big hug!
Thank you very much, Jlabrador, I have to happen to good habits, I will begin walking about 3 miles and after a week, will run about 1.6 km, and a healthy diet will, I hope the starter how much work before me. Thank you very much for your advice.
Rochi, I suggest one thing, look after your body, you only have one and it is for life. So as you take care, he will return it for better or for worse. Always think of the work, duties, personal problems, but eventually you realize that these things are not so important.
I do not think it takes to be (as says a client of mine), a Taliban diet and exercise. No need to exercise every day, or take the diet of a hermit. But your body will work according to the "habits" that you would think. But one day you want to give a tribute, dátelo, if you want to lie a day watching TV, do it, but if you do every day what you end up paying, and often when you want to rectify may be a little late.
So again I encourage you to take care of yourself, you and all of the blog, I know more than one ...
Jlabrador, thank you for the encouragement you give me and it's true that you can always make time and what is sometimes said "his courage". The title of the book is: Walking and Running, Basic Exercise Campaign continued. Authors: Juan Francisco Marcos (sports physician), Manuel Villanueva (PE teacher), Miguel Garcia Baro (Journalist), Julio Hidalgo (PE teacher).
Angel_2ruedas in my diet (and I really like) this, pasta, nuts, donuts, etc.. My stomach until now, but I am very agile and my intestines do not work well every day. I've done so, be a sportsman to be fat. But I'm going to mentalize for exercise and dieting and occasionally allowing any celebration.
Yes, it is curious that this pyramid is replicated everywhere, indeed, until this article had heard only of his critics. I like 'crastino', I paid more attention since there are 'dwarves' at home when my son went to kindergarten in the monthly menus provided to us by the parent company providing meals to recultó me curious kids that the oil will appear in the last stage and there was so much pasta and rice in the first. And obviously this just finished his 1st school year it also was present with the same classification.
I am also a supporter that "swell" of fruit and vegetables / legrumbre (partly because the meat does not taste the fish and the half-volume for disposal), and so on, then (but I did not remove the pasta and fruit dry, eh).
PS: "descubrimendo" my diet especialita sure I just won the rebuke of 'jlabrador' ;-)
PD for 'rochi': do not think it is so lucky the "burn fat" on the basis of nerves, stomach suffers with burning and the like in addition to that, as I said, my metabolism has never been me fat (I did so) ;-)
Rochi Thanks for your encouragement and articles you sent me. Although you will not know that my real profession is coaching and what you sent me is very much related. But one question, who is the author? looks like a doctor or physiologist, but makes some errors and some inaccuracies. As you will always create controversy. It's mine.
Anyway that is what keeps alive interactueís our desire to continue writing, studying and seeking information.
If you help on something, or clarifies something, better, best.
Another little thing to exercise, it only takes desire, motivation, if you want, time out of anywhere. I train people very busy, really, and if you organize no time.
So: I encourage and train!
Yesterday I was in kindergarten and had exposed a pyramid. How I remembered seeing your article hydrates below!
A hug.
Jlabrador congratulate for their articles on nutrition, a subject that I like. On the Atkins diet does not seem the most appropriate, at the end suggests a nutritional supplement that of course if we are healthy ones and we have teeth, it's best fruit, although we did not have teeth p.ejem young children to make porridge fruit and cookies, (very good) and when very young or breastfed only pharmacy in this case is necessary nutritional supplement.
As for the bad or LDL cholesterol is lowered by eating low fat and good cholesterol is produced by some exercise and some wine (1 cup).
In summary I believe that diet and some sports are needed. Lucky has Angel_2ruedas slimming with the nerves, to me, pass me the opposite, weight 110 kg and say that even the 25 years I have been very athletic, marathon runner. In the year 80 to go to puntarme at that time had to go to an office there was no internet, I got a little book entitled Walking and Running ISBN no, just legal deposit M-23001-1979. in this book makes very interesting things. P.ejem:
... Remember that 1 gram of protein or 1 h.carbono provide 4 calories, whereas 1 fat 9 calories leads to ...... Each individual has a daily caloric expenditure depends on the exercise, age, body weight and basal metabolism (expense provided fasting and at rest) ...... In the blood is 10-20 mg. lactic acid per 100 cc (lactate) ... Etc.
Another interesting book is Feeding the athlete-Ruano E.González Ed Marban 1986 isbn: 84-7101-101-8.
For exercise you need to have: enthusiasm, encouragement and time. In summary, congratulations Jlabrador.
