Principles of Nutrition

For all the confusion around nutrition when push comes to shove it all boils down to just four underlying principles by which every diet works. These are –

• What to eat – The goal is to give the body all the nutrients and more that it needs to function. This advice varies between diets and often is completely different from one ideaolgy to the next. The reason this happens is than we ashumans have differing nutritional needs from one person to the next. e.g. paleo vs vegetarianism. So two people can get great results from opposite protocols.The key though is ensuring the diet you follow matches what your body wants.

• How much to eat per meal – This relates to ratios of protein to carbs to fat. This optimizes energy and controls hunger when done correctly. Varying diets propose different ideal ratio amounts..

• How much to eat per day – This normally is sorted out naturally by step 2 and thus no need to calorie count for most people. Many diet aim to affect this overall consumption figure. Note there is a different calorie amount for losing body fat vs optimising health.

• What To Avoid Eating – There are all sorts of theories that can be used to give reason to avoid a food ranging from toxin expsoure to affecting the balance of your body chemistry. Sensitive foods fall into this category. That is, foods that should be healthy but in fact cause you to store body fat by irritating your systems via a few mechanisms.

All diets work or do not work by aiding (not aiding) the body along one of these main principles. How you get there is not so much important as getting there, e.g. if the major step forwards for your body is to say remove a sensitive food like dairy, then a host of diets will probably do that regardless of what the theory behind it is, e.g. blood type, vegan, paleo etc. Obviously some diets will upset the other elements making it difficult, e.g. vegan probably does not allow point 2 to be successfully achieved for most people.
