Fad Diets

The other day in chemistry my teacher told us to have a look at this abc video where they were looking at a low carb high fat diet for athletes instead of carb loading before a match which is common.

They were talking about all this stuff that I didn't really understand so I looked up another video on it and then this other one came up that was the opposite, that you should heaps and heaps of carbs and no fat.... Both were claiming that their way was the healthiest, so which one actually is?

I have learnt pretty confrontingly that restricting one/some/all foods isn't healthy, and that the best way to eat and still have a life apart from food is to have a balanced diet. Everything in moderation works fine :) 

People who go on diets but it doesn't work, because when they revert back to what they ate before, which made them put on weight in the first place. They need to find a middle ground.

Same goes for eating disorders. If we just go back to what we ate pre-weight restoration, we will lose weight, even though the anorexia says that you have to restrict to not gain weight. What we need to do is find a middle ground :) 

So yeah, any of these extreme lifestyles, eat what you want I guess, but if you think you can't eat something, as opposed to you don't want to, then maybe you should have a think about why... 

Have a happy 7th of December!!! Less than three weeks till Christmas!

Made a new breakfast yesterday- apple and cinamon eggwhite oatmeal. It was really good :)

So tired.....school exams start tomorrow :o
