¿Puede una Dieta Alta en Grasa ser Saludable?

¿Puede una Dieta Alta en Grasa ser Saludable?

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

Muchas personas conscientes de la salud luchan por una dieta baja en grasas.

Pero podría perderse muchos beneficios para la salud, como la pérdida de peso y un sistema cardiovascular fuerte si pierde las grasas esenciales.

La forma de pensar de la dieta sin grasa y baja en grasa provino del hecho de que muchas personas estaban – bien – gordas. 

Era lógico suponer que era porque estábamos comiendo demasiado. Ahora estamos aprendiendo más. 

Ahora sabemos que las grasas dañinas son las grasas trans, oxidadas y procesadas por calor, como las que se encuentran en la margarina, los alimentos fritos e incluso el ganado alimentado con granos.

En el esfuerzo diario por la salud, intentamos eliminar todas las grasas solo para saber que nos estamos lastimando. 

Afortunadamente, es una nueva era y ahora sabemos qué grasas no solo deben eliminarse, sino también qué debemos incluir en nuestras dietas para una mejor salud, sin envejecimiento prematuro ni enfermedades degenerativas.

Estas grasas buenas se llaman los ácidos grasos esenciales.

Hay que Contar Calorias?

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

Las dietas bajas en grasa pueden crear más problemas de lo que resuelven en el momento. 

Parece lógico: eliminar la grasa para reducir la grasa, pero esto está lejos de ser así. 

No tiene sentido eliminar el exceso de peso a expensas de tu salud, lo que lamentablemente ocurre con demasiada frecuencia. Las dietas bajas en grasa a menudo contribuyen a esto.

Las personas sienten que una dieta que contiene alguna grasa contribuye al aumento de peso. Y que una dieta baja en grasa o sin grasa es una dieta más saludable.

Por supuesto, si consumes muchos alimentos fritos, esto contribuirá al aumento de peso. Pero hay mucho más en este tema de lo que parece.

  • El tipo y la calidad de la grasa consumida tienen un gran impacto en cuanto a si aumentas de peso o no. 

Por ejemplo, el aceite de canola es tan poco saludable que contribuirá no solo al aumento de peso, sino también a deteriorar tu salud.

  • Lo siguiente en la lista es cómo consumes esta grasa.

Weight Loss and Other Health Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

If you have been checking out weight loss diets, it is highly unlikely that you haven’t come across the ketogenic diet. If not, on my last article I talk more in depth about what is the Keto diet and how you can start living a keto lifestyle.

The ketogenic diet or keto diet focuses on drastically cutting down carbohydrates and increasing the intake of proteins and fats. The whole premise of the keto diet is restricting carbohydrates instead of calories. When there are fewer carbs, your body breaks down fat as the main source of energy.

This leads to effective weight loss. But it’s not just weight loss that a ketogenic diet can help you achieve. A lot of studies have been conducted on how a keto diet can help and even prevent certain diseases.

Chia: The Tiny Superfood You Need to Know About

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

Chia seeds are tiny yet powerful in their nutritional benefits. They swell to 10 times their original size when placed in a liquid, making them ideal for thickening puddings and smoothies.

Just a few of the tricks up the sleeves of chia seeds include…

  • High in omega-3 fatty acids
  • Great source of soluble and insoluble fiber. Almost all carbs are fiber
  • More calcium than milk per serving
  • Higher in antioxidants than blueberries
  • High in vitamins A, B, D, and E
  • Loaded with magnesium
  • Good source of quality protein
  • Easy to digest and assimilate (low in phytates)
  • Help balance blood sugar levels and get rid of sugar cravings
  • Provide lost of nutrients with very few calories
  • May lower risk of heart disease

Chia is a true superfood. The direct translation of chia means STRENGTH in the Mayan language and was a valuable food of traditional Mayan, Inca and Aztec people. Apparently, they used to trade chia seeds for gold as they were such a valuable source of energy.

Some of my favorite ways to eat chia include soaking them for an hour in coconut milk and a bit of maple syrup and eating that for dessert or breakfast with fresh berries, sprinkling them on salads or soups, adding them to homemade crackers, blending them into my smoothies and of course, delectable chia puddings.

How to Follow an Elimination Diet?

Publicado el por admin

Elimination diets don’t exactly sound like the most fun thing in the world, but if you’re struggling with digestive issues, they can change your life. How do you get to the root of an issue if you can never pinpoint the cause? You don’t. That’s why millions of people live with illness unnecessarily every day. Because they never took the time to discover that perhaps their thyroid problems would improve by removing gluten from their diet. Or their IBS might get significantly better with a dairy-free diet.

It’s important to take responsibility for your own health if you want to feel good, and the elimination diet is the foundational journey you must take to decipher what works and what doesn’t.

How to do an Elimination Diet?

Certain foods trigger more negative reactions than others. The elimination diet gets rid of common food allergens for a month. Typically the foods you don’t eat for that time frame include…

  • Gluten
  • Grains
  • Dairy
  • Sugar and sweeteners (except stevia)
  • Processed foods
  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine
  • Citrus fruits
  • Nightshade vegetables (tomato, peppers, and eggplant)
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Soy
  • Meat with nitrites

Today I bring you 5 Tricks That Will Help You Kick Grains to the Curb!

Grains – the food group that plays a big role in the eating habits of millions of kids around the world. Oatmeal, YUM! Crackers, YUM! Mashed potatoes, YUM! Toast, YUM! Cereal, YUM!

Sure, most moms always tell us that we need to eat our veggies too, but most moms also always serve some sort of grain for or with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks as well – so grains have to be just as important as meats, fruits and veggies, right?

What Does It Mean To Be Gluten-Free?

Publicado el por admin

Last week I started the topic of Gluten free and the Gluten-Free Diet. But what is gluten anyway? These days, more and more food manufacturers are providing gluten-free alternatives to their products, from bagels up to pasta. However, the prevalence has led to a lot of misconceptions. The term “gluten-free” is widely linked with being healthy, but often in the sense of a dieting fad. Not everyone stops to think about what gluten-free really means and why individuals should or should not eat certain foods.

Three Must Eat Breakfast Foods

Do you love your breakfast? Do you have a short list of “go-to” recipes? Need a bit of inspiration to start eating breakfast again?

Getting some protein at each meal can help with blood sugar management, metabolism and weight loss. This is because protein helps you feel fuller longer and uses a lot of calories to absorb and metabolize it. So I’m going to show you how to get the protein, as well as some veggies and healthy fats for your breakfasts.
