For a very long time, I thought that my diet (and exercise) was the key to my health. I thought I needed to be a “superstar” in all areas of my life because I was so healthy and I was so healthy to begin with. But these days, I realize that I’m not the only one who has been hit by the health eating game. My friend, former colleague, and the food writer at summitstone.com, Dr.
I have spent the past two years trying to convince you that the diet and fitness game is not the way to your health. But that’s not what I’m presenting here. What I’m presenting here is a brief history of the diet and fitness game I’ve been playing for years to try to convince you that it can be the way to your health. It’s not. It’s not even close.
It’s all a bunch of BS.
The diet and fitness game is a game of “risk vs reward”. The basic premise of the game is that you eat a certain amount of calories each day and then wait for a reward. Every time you eat, you get a certain number of calories (usually around 1,200 to 1,800) that you can either gain or lose, depending on how you eat. The reward is usually not as great as you might think.
Well the concept, the food pyramid, and the reward system is great, but the execution is something that just doesn’t work for me. When I first started out, I was skeptical of the rewards because they were so arbitrary. One of the worst things I ever ate was the orange smoothie. That was about as close as I got to the real thing, other than some MCT oil and a slice of bacon.
The health benefits of the pyramid are not just the obvious. Eating a high-quality protein and healthy fats makes you healthier overall. But what’s great is that there are a lot of other aspects of the plan that are just, well… a pyramid. For example, you get your entire daily allotment of protein from the pyramid, which is the same amount of protein you would get from eating a high-quality meat.
The health benefits are the same for you whether you’re eating a meat or a vegetarian. But just like the pyramid, the health benefits are not just a pyramid.
Sure, the pyramid is a pyramid, but it’s also the pyramid of all the fruits, vegetables, and nuts you eat. Eating a high-quality protein and healthy fats makes you healthier overall. But whats great is that there are a lot of other aspects of the plan that are just, well a pyramid. For example, you get your entire daily allotment of protein from the pyramid, which is the same amount of protein you would get from eating a high-quality meat.
Not only does the pyramid of health benefits have a lot of different sides to it, but there is also a lot of other benefits you can get from eating a high-quality protein. The pyramid of health benefits in and of itself is not a bad thing, but it does not really explain the other sides that come with the pyramid.
The pyramid of health benefits is pretty basic. It’s basically just about consuming enough protein to meet your daily requirements, and since you’re on a diet, the pyramid means you’ll be getting less in your daily allotment. In the case of summitstone it’s a little more complicated. Summitstone, which is based in London, is a company that has created a pyramid of health benefits.
