Some dietary recommendations I have heard of is the keto diet, Nutrisystem,
Weight Watchers. They are the same by doing just about the same exact thing
to do, they are to help with restrictions. They are different by how fast they
start working with what they are supposed to do. The reasons given for the
benefits on keto is your liver gets better, you will sleep more, may help treat
cancer. Benefits of Nutrisystem is maintaining muscle and reduces risk of a
disease. Benefits of Weight Watchers are weight loss. reduced aches and pains,
improve breathing, improve blood, and sugar levels. Unfortunately, they do not
talk about or discuss the impact on various digestive organs. Some of the
dietary recommendations that I have discovered and considered is Herbal life and
Isoa tea and also my personal trainer recommended of losing weight I need
more calories in take as well as eating more meals during the day.The point
of all these dietary recommendations is to be healthy and making sure your
body fat is healthy fats not fats that will cause problems. Your diet is 80 %
of how healthy you can stay, and you can lose weight based off of what you
are intaking. eating good protein and good fats counting the number of calories
you are consuming and getting you heart rate up at least 15 mins a day. The
difference between the dietary recommendations is what you are consuming.
Some diets require you to eat more protein and some require you to eat one
meal a day. Majority of these dietary recommendations have a good benefit at
the end of the journey. however, you have to be serious about it or your
waiting your time and money. The 2 dietary recommendations discuss how well
it flushes your intestines out and boost your immune system creating a faster
metabolism. Regardless of what recommendations say everything can change due
to everyone and ever body in the world is different. Recommendations are built
off of what average people and the average of the number. I personally think
that the intake of carbs and fats will affect everyone in different ways so for
us to follow the recommendation isn’t something bad. When you do this dieting,
you should just keep track of how much you intake of the certain substance
and later on write down the effect good or bad that it had. Then after you
have followed the average and recommendation of the government you can gain
enough information and knowledge about what works better with you body and
what dont. The recommendation aren’t something I would stray away from to
drastically but just make a chart and record what is happening to you body
and make slight adjustment to the recommendation based off the negative Or
positive. Effects that the change had on your diet. Then later reference the long-
term question mark of did it work for you or not. Before I started my diet
program I thought I was supposed to stay around a 1200 calorie intake,
however I have learned that women should stick around 1000, and men at
1200. I was also informed that men lose weight faster and that is why the
can intake more calories. Now the diet program I am consists of 800 calorie
a day restriction with 4 shakes a day, I get all of my vitamins, protein, and
nutrients that are needed. Keto diet has become very popular of the past few
years, which is what my diet is based off of, low carb, low calorie, and high
protein. Some diets can cause problems with your organs, especially your heart.
Every 50lbs lost I have to get a EKG just to make for sure my heart is
okay, and that is because of rapid weight loss. One of the reasons I had to
get my gallbladder removed is because I lost so much weight so fast that I
had gallstones, which is a side effect of rapid weight loss. Counting calories,
staying low in carbs, and high protein will make you feel full longer, and give
you more energy. Some recommendations I have heard of for dietary intake
would be nutritional labeling, to show what nutrients are in the food. Making
food intake charts with different groups of people. Certain organizations such as
the American Dietetic Association or the Food and Nutrition Board giving
information on proper dietary intake. They all fall under the same principal to
show guidelines for the way you should properly consume foods in order to
have the proper intake of nutrients. They can be different in areas when
celebrities display eating habits that could be misleading for others.
There are limitations set for each person being, each person is different so their
diet may be different from the next person.
Some reasons given for the benefits of recommendations would be for a healthy
pregnancy for an expecting mother. It could benefit the possibility of diseases
and even obesity. They do discuss the impact on various digestive organs. The
affect poor choice of dietary intake could result in the damage and inflammation
of certain organs. It is important to maintain proper protein intake at moderate
levels. Over the past couple of years I have heard of so many weight loss
companies such as jenny creig, dr. oz and more. some of my experience with
the companies is that its suppose to help you loose weight while getting the
right amount of nutrients to stay healthy but my question is does it actually
work? When it comes to balancing out your nutrients you should look at what
is important in the food pyramid and how it could help in your everyday life
such as protein. When I go to my doctor they always tell me protein is
important because its how your body functions and I actually agree. One of the
people That inspire me in the long run is the keto guido aka Vinny
Guadagnino From jersey shore he showed me Alot of tips on how to be able
to enjoy what you eat while loosing the extra pounds. Overall I think when it
comes to your body your the only one who can help it work right by taking
care of it . As a kid, I was taught about the food pyramid. I remember grains
being the biggest group and protein was closer to the top. Dairy was also on
there. But as I got older, the pyramid became obsolete. Dairy can have a bad
impact on our digestive system. Personally, I feel better avoiding it. I see grains
and carbs being limited. It is believed that carbs cause weight gain so people
are eating high protein diets. Some are even eating high fat diets. Keto
becoming popular and that involves eating almost no carbs and eating plenty of
fats and protein. That's the exact opposite of the food pyramid I was taught.
However, I personally don't like either of these diets. I believe people should
eat all their macros. Carbs provide energy. They do hold water so people tend
to believe it's making them gain weight. Protein fuels our muscles and help us
feel full. Fats keep our bodies warm and protect our vital organs. Our bodies
need all of these macronutrients. We just have to have them in moderation.
There are plenty of macro calculators online that we can use to help us figure
out what our body needs. What we eat should be a lifestyle and not a
temporary diet. Depending on the diet you feel fits best for you you might
have the keto , low carb , and Adkins diet that are all aimed towards high
in protein and low in carbs. Then other diets that just aim towards lowering
calorie intake. There are so many diets around today sometimes its hard to
decide or know what one fits your need. Like i listed above you have those
three diets all with different names but run off the same concepts. I have
personally done keto and was told after i had emergency gallbladder surgery
that its been known for adding stress to your gallbladder and becoming normal
to have it removed after a decent amount of weight loss. Personally i think
that with teaching your body not to have to use digestive organs as rough as
a person was used to due to weight loss or healthy eating habits is an impact
just not considered a negative impact on someone’s organs. I do think it takes
a while to train the organs of the digestive system to run properly to the new
eating or diet habits allowing the body to adjust and catch up. I do not know
much about dietary intake. I know in the past my mom was doing the Atkins
diet. I believe that diet really just included her drinking the shakes and eating
the Atkins meals. I have been wanting to try the Keto diet. My friend
recommended that to me and she has said that it is effective. Because I am
not big on exercising, she told me that with doing the Keto diet, I do not
have to exercise. However, I think that with any diet, you must exercise too.
I am still learning the ends and outs of exactly what is good to eat in terms
of making sure I have enough proteins and carbohydrates. I have stopped eating
so much fried foods because I do know that fried foods are not good for you.
Coupled with my experience with my gallbladder before I had it removed. I
am trying to eat more baked foods and limit my salt intake. Another
recommendation that I have heard of is counting calories. I have thought about
doing that also. I will have to do more research to find out how to do it
correctly and what is good to eat and what not to eat. In the end, I just
need to stop running away from exercising. I believe that will be the most
effective way to lose weight and continue to watch what I eat. The first
recommendation that I have heard is one has the proper mindset to lose weight.
Second, I would say drink drink plenty of water, I was told if you drink a
half of gallon or gallon of water it would help you urine lose weight also
because majority of your weight is water weight. I can agree with those
recommendation, because I have been losing weight for the last 2 months and
with having a great mindset staying motivated and just having the support on
your weight lose journey it will help you and want to push your more to lose
weight and continue to be healthy. Some benefits I would say drinking water
you will really see a huge difference and that will also help you wanting to
stay motivated. I also hear many people say it starts in the kitchen, which I
totally agree with. Watching what you eat, the calories, and how much to
consume should be your main focused. I will also say losing weight is not
hard you just have to stay motivated and you will be fine. My knowledge of
recommendation of dietary intake is limited. I try to eat healthy by not eating
a lot of junk food or take in too much salt. I pretty much stick to a low
fat diet by eating mostly protein, chicken specifically. I have tried doing keto,
but the high fat intake wasn't easy for me. I can eat chicken or steak every
meal, but the added fats was hard to upkeep as well as the vegetables that
"were" allowed. Most I don't eat, and considering my diet also consists of at
least a little bit of rice or pasta at most dinner meals it was hard for me to
follow. I try staying away from most candy and sweets as well as stick to
mostly water and steer clear of soda for the most part. I wouldn't say I eat
this way because it is recommended. More so, I eat this way because I am
super picky when it comes to food and eat because I know it is needed to
survive, not because it is something that I enjoy because of being a food lover.
My experience with this question is based on a different kind of experience.
My wife before I met her was at one point, almost 300 pounds. She followed
the standard rules of eating healthy and exercise. She was a Zumba instructor,
taught swimming lessons, and ran like crazy. She lost the weight and was down
to 140 pounds when I met her, but she still felt like crap and was sick more
then she ever was before. She would pass out when standing up, low blood
pressure and more stuff that I cannot think of right now. She found a place
In Green Bay WI that used a different method then she was used too. The
place is called the Wellness Way, and they looked at things that her body was
allergic too, things that she was eating that was causing inflammation that led
to weight gain. She found out that almost everything that she was eating she
was allergic too. Yeast, dairy, eggs, and some fish. She also found out that
some foods that she thought she was allergic too, like meat and proteins, she
was actually not allergic to and could start eating again. Its amazing what you
can find out when you look past the traditional doctors and look to alternative
medicine to find out how foods are effecting your body. There are so many
nutritional “recommendations” out these days that it is simply hard to keep up
with the changes. I personally follow a ketogenic diet, which has been tough
but incredibly successful. Ketogenic basically reduces carbohydrates intake,
increased good fats and protein. Along with following this way of eating I also
include a 16-hour fasting window between my last meal of the day and first
meal in the morning. It is mean to give you digestive system a break and
kind of “cleanse” itself for lack of better word. It allows more time to break
down toxins. This can help with people who suffer with bloating and digestive
disorders. In addition, you are able to modify your macros (macronutrient). The
easiest way to figure out your macros is by using an app that will do all
calculations for you based on goals. I have found this way of eating difficulty
but rewarding. I have lost body fat rather quickly. I am also able to sleep
better at night and wake up without the sluggish feeling. Some recommendations
I have heard of are the beach body, Paleo diet and weight watchers. They all
are pretty much that same when it comes to diet, they are low carb and clean
eating. Beach body recurs a lot of intense work outs. I personally enjoy the
Paleo diet I have lost a good amount of weight from that particular one. All
of them are good for the digestive system all of them have helped me out in
so many ways. Weight watches has always been recommended by a lot of older
women I know. Lots of them have lost a great deal of weight and have kept
it off well most of them have. The Paleo diet I personally recommend because
I have done that one in the past year and lost so much weight and I lost it
real fast, not to fast but faster than I have with any other diet. It helped me
regulate my blood pressure which I no longer have to take medication for. It
gave me tons of energy every day and I managed to actually keep off the
weight . Some recommendations I have heard of are, keto, south beach diet,
weight watchers, Atkins, and beach body. I think they are the same in the
sense that their goal is to help you want to lose weight and by doing their
program they are saying that you will. With these programs they also encourage
working out. They are different in how they are set up and the "rules" that
go with them. For example, beach bodys whole program is set up around
workout programs. They have all different ones and nutiuriton and shakes to go
with it. Keto is very low carbs and hight fats, south beach they provide meals
for you and weight watchers you have a set amount of points for the day. I
think some of reasons for the recommendations is because it has worked for
other people and they want to pass a long what has worked for them. I think
the impact it could have on the organs is if you aren’t doing it correctly or
using diet pills a long with it. I think if it used correclty it will be safe and
can work wonders for people. Some of the recommendations I have heard of
are the South Beach Diet, Adkins, Beach Body, Slim Fast, and Nutrisystem.
These are all the same because you need to exercise to really see results from
these different programs. You can just take them and do them without any
exercise but it might take a minute just to see some results from it. They are
different in a way because some have strictly programs you follow and then
others have their specific meals you eat and shakes you drink. Some of the
reasons are it will help you live a healthier life and will reduce problems you
already have but what they don't tell you is all the underlined risk factors that
are associated with taking the ones that involve taking pills and some of them
just have there meals so after you eat that and your still hungry I feel like
some are wanting you to train your stomach to not want more so you are
starving yourself in the process and that becomes a problem because you are
not getting the nutrients and vitamins you need. One of the recommendations
that I have heard concerning dietary recommendations is by a celebrity, on a
commercial, for yogurt containing protein and probiotics. They state that you
need protein to help you feel full and to give you energy. They state the
probiotics help your digestive system by making your bowel movements regular.
I do not recall reading about probiotics in our recent text, but when I look it
up it says that probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help your body digest
food among various other benefits. This sounds like it correlates to what the
commercial says however, I also read that the body makes enough of its own
probiotics, so consuming additional ones are not necessary.
yy yy yy The 2020-2025 government guidelines basically state to eat a diet that is
healthy and full of nutrients within your caloric budget. Only 15% of the
calories that you consume should come from sugar, saturated fat and alcohol
(dietaryguidelines.gov). The reasons for limiting these food choices are to reduce
risks for diet related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heard disease. Some
of the recommendations I have heard of when it comes to losing weight are
the Iaso tea, cabbage soup diet, Keto, intermittent fasting, and even the Beyonce
diet. They are all the same in my opinion because they are diets that make
you shed weight fast. I would say Keto diet can more so become a lifestyle
but the others to me are quick weight shedding diets. I have tried the
intermittent fasting diet myself and although it does help you lose weight you
also can put the weight back on very quickly once you stop. I like to look
for life changing diets, diets that can become a lifestyle. To my knowledge I
have never really heard of the impact these dietary commitments can cause on
the digestive organs. I believe that if you just eat healthy and stay active that
the results will show. These fast diets sometimes aren't as good for the body
as we may think they are just because we lose the weight because it can
come right back. Some of the dietary recommendations that I have ran into is
Weight Watchers, Keto, and than also the doctors recommendation of actually
gaining some weight by eating the actual amount of calories, carbs, etc.The idea
of all of these dietary recommendations is to be healthy and not eating fast
food all the time as it will kill your metabolism. They want you to eat the
correct amount of calories, eat good fats, good proteins, make sure that you are
also eating and exercising for at least 20 minutes a day.Now some of the
major differences of these dietary recommendations is the way they eat. Keto is
a strictly protein mandated dietary recommendation. Weight Watchers they prefer
you to eat the food they offer and help you control your calorie intake. The
doctors expect you to eat like you normally would but healthier and they would
ask you to watch your calorie intake.The recommendations come with high
benefits. All of them do. They using word of mouth or television commercial
recommendations. They state how you feel more awake and they help people
gain confidence and self esteem.
None of the ones that I listed go into any great detail on how they affect
your organs. Either good or bad. They simply state how these diets work for
the intestines normally. Like how your intestines work better to help with the
break down. Many of the online nutrition plans I find contain many
recommendations to up protein and lower carbohydrates. These are usually
promoted by celebrities trying to sell their plans. For someone like me who has
a higher metabolism, my search always consisted of high protein as well as
high carbohydrates since I am heavy into working out. It seems I always had
trouble gaining some weight, even muscle mass so I had a higher intake of
carbs. Another plan I would hear about is the one from Tom Brady's nutritional
plan. The difference with this plan and many others is that the other plans
promote the beach ready figurine and to "look good", but with Tom Brady's
plan, it is more of a "feel good" type of plan. Looking at his nutritional plan,
I can see he recommends a lot of plant based and vegan foods. His plan is
to help others stay at the top of their game just as he does. For someone
who is still winning championships and looking like he's in his 20's still, the
diet plan must work. This type of plan can greatly improve digestion whereas
greasy food can slow your digestive system because the fat in the food is
digested very slowly. Of course I have heard of many fad diets. For example,
the cabbage soup diet. It says to eat nothing but cabbage soup for a certain
amount of time, and as much as you want. But this is dangerous for anyone
that has a sensitive stomach like me. It digests quickly and can give you
diarrhea when you have too much, which can leave you dehydrated. Some fad
diets may work for losing weight but they do not always provide your body
with the proper nutrition. A lot of celebrities will advertise certain weight loss
products such as Atkins, which can persuade us to buy into it. But honestly,
just having a well balanced and healthy diet along with regular exercise can
provide us with the weight loss a lot of us are looking for. I have used a
food diary in the past and it helped because it made me realize what I was
putting in my body daily. The government puts out dietary guidelines that are
put together by experts. I looked up other countries guidelines also, and they
are actually very similar. They all have a major emphasis on vegetables and
fruits. And they include wholegrains and small amounts of dairy and meats. This
shows that experts from around the world have mostly agreed on what a well-
balanced diet should consists of. A well-balanced diet will supply us with the
nutrients we need and keep our digestive system healthy. I have been subjected
to many different diet recommendations throughout the years. the different diets
that are recommended by doctors can be for different reasons or health issues.
I have had the same diet for 27 years now and that is because of being in
competition. My doctor recommended, 27 years ago, that I eat a lot of protein
and carbs because my goal was to build muscle. When I was at the point that
I put on the weight I needed, the doctor recommended that I just eat complex
carbs because my body will use them first for energy and not store them as
fat. I have maintained the same weight for this entire time but I also exercise
6 days a week. My ex husband had to be put on a certain diet because he
had heart problems. He actually had pretty much the same diet as me but had
to watch how much saturated fat he took in and trans fat. This is because
According to UW school Of Medicine And Public Health (2021), " Trans fat
raises the levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and also lowers high-density
lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol in the blood. Trans fat is found in
many processed foods made with shortening or with partially hydrogenated or
hydrogenated vegetable oils. These foods include cookies, crackers, chips, and
many snack foods." He also had to be careful of his carb intake because he
was not able to exercise at the time. You have always heard of a diet fade
every year. You heard of Weight Watchers, Atkins, Ketos, Jenny Craig just to
name a few. The question to ask yourself is how do these diets work? I
personally have tried the Weight Watchers, Atkins, and Ketos and nothing
seemed to work until I got it into my head that I needed to change my way
of thinking. Just a diet does not work, you need to exercise with your diet. I
had some health issues that stopped me from exercising for years so the dieting
was not working for me. I took care of the health issue and was able to start
exercising with the diet. I did not chose a diet program, I chose to start eating
health by stopping the soda and drinking water. I feel that you have to decide
on your own what fits your lifestyle the best. I have also found that when
you stop dieting and start back drinking the soda the weight will come back.
I am trying my best to get back on track to get back to where I need to
be in life. Over the years, I have heard of many different diet craze such as
the Atkins diet, which I believe that is where you don't eat any carbs or a
very low amount. It focused more on eating more proteins. That was something
popularized by a lot of celebs. By not eating a lot of carbs, the body can
use stored fat instead of empty sugars to burn off. I've also recently heard of
the Keto diet. I'm not really sure how it works, but I hear a lot people on
social media promoting this new diet. from what I read, it is pretty similar to
the Atkins diet, but I Know there is a more stricter guideline they follow. For
one you can't eat any processed foods. I didn't see any that had to do with
the impact on digestive organs, however I did read that the Keto diet is usually
prescribed to children to help with their epilepsy. I have recently thought about
looking into the Keto diet as a way for me to get a bit lean and gain more
of a metabolism.
High fructose corn syrup is worse than other sweeteners. HFCS is a
manufactured sweetener made from starch. It is known to cause many health
problems like metabolic disorders, as well as type 2 diabetes. By eliminating
HFCS from one's diet, I won't say that it will make you healthier, but it will
greatly reduce the chances of having a great ailment. It's best to use natural
sugars if it is necessary as natural sugars can be found in things such as
fruits.According to the more credible websites that I looked up, it states that
there is not enough information or studies performed on whether High Fructose
Corn Syrup (HFCS) is worse than other sweeteners (Mayoclinic.org). What most
of the research does seem to agree on is that any sweeteners, whether HFCS
or natural sugar, when not consumed in moderation, will contribute to health
issues such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Eliminating or reducing HFCS
or other sugars will help to make our diets better because it will be less non-
nutritious nutrients entering our bodies, leaving room to fill ourselves with more
healthy choices such as fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. yy yy There are really
no added sugars that are good for us in general. Sugar has no nutritional value.
According to Heart (2018), "To tell if a processed food contains added sugars,
you need to look at the list of ingredients. Sugar has many other names.
Besides those ending in “ose,” such as maltose or sucrose, other names for
sugar include high fructose corn syrup, molasses, cane sugar, corn sweetener,
raw sugar, syrup, honey or fruit juice concentrates. Learn more about reading
food labels." Since sugar has no nutritional value and only gives us empty
calories, we should watch our intake because it can lead to obesity and heart
problems.
