New Years Day health reminder.
1. Don’t go on a low calorie diet to lose weight, it only trains your metabolism to be more efficient.
2. Do change the type of food you eat... this can change your weight set point and lead to permanent and not temporary weight loss 3. Stop (or cut down) eating sugar and refined carbs like pasta, bread etc.
4. Throw away your vegetable oil - these are NOT health for you and cause inflammation and insulin resistance (and therefore obesity).
5. Cook with olive oil or a natural saturated fat like butter or ghee
