hi this is Anita from reluctant low carb
0:09
life today we're going to talk a little
0:11
bit or go dwell delve deeper into what
0:14
we call our Trifecta of health and the
0:17
trifecta of Health really this is about
0:19
a lifestyle and it's really three simple
0:22
things we try to make it as simple as
0:24
possible the first one is Eat Fresh
0:26
Foods you know in the world we live in
0:29
today there are so many processed foods
0:32
it didn't used to be that way Foods used
0:34
to be basically very much Fresh Foods
0:37
but as the world is evolved as companies
0:39
have evolved as they have found
0:41
chemicals and other things that they can
0:43
put into the food as they can make the
0:46
food be able to last
0:48
longer we are eating more and more
0:50
processed foods and Studies have shown
0:53
that those processed foods do not help
0:56
our health in fact there are some
0:57
scientists who say that they have been
1:00
linked to a lot of the you know causes
1:02
of diabetes Cancers and other things
1:05
it's alarming to me to discover that in
1:07
some Western countries particularly in
1:09
the United States or the UK or even
1:12
Australia that some children may be
1:15
getting from their diet 70% of all they
1:19
eat is ultied Foods think of that for a
1:22
minute 70% of what they eat is not
1:24
really food at all it's
1:27
chemicals that's why we're a great
1:29
believer in Fresh Foods Fresh Foods is
1:31
basically the best way to have it is you
1:33
go to the market you buy the tomatoes
1:35
you cook the tomatoes you know what's in
1:37
the tomatoes and that you know that
1:39
becomes your meal that's one of the the
1:41
best things that you can do you know
1:43
Fresh Foods is the ultimate way to eat
1:46
and this is shown again and again for
1:48
many types of studies that really for
1:50
you to have Fresh Foods is the best way
1:53
for you to eat and that processed foods
1:56
is really not the way to eat except the
1:58
problem with processed foods is they are
2:00
convenient and they do last longer we've
2:04
said many times here in our podcast that
2:06
when you're shopping in a regular
2:08
grocery store like you'll find in the
2:09
United States or somewhere shop around
2:12
the edges the parameter of it and that's
2:15
where you will find the Fresh Foods and
2:17
the fresh ingredients is and that's
2:20
where you know you will find you know
2:22
things like the you know the fruits the
2:23
vegetables the meats uh the cheeses the
2:26
yogurts all of that type of thing you
2:28
will find around the perimeter it's the
2:31
when you go into the aisles that's where
2:33
you find a lot of the processed foods or
2:36
the Alti processed foods if you look on
2:39
the back of a can and there's more than
2:40
three ingredients or there's a bunch of
2:43
ingredients you you you wouldn't have in
2:45
your own kitchen chances are that is an
2:47
Alti processed
2:50
food so we are great Advocates here at
2:53
reluctant low carb life all about eating
2:56
Fresh Foods we are great Believers in
2:58
Fresh Foods that
3:00
that Fresh Foods is the way that
3:02
everyone should be eating one of the
3:03
reasons why is because of what's known
3:05
as satiety satiety is that basically
3:10
when you eat something that you will
3:12
remain full or feel full for a longer
3:15
period of
3:17
time and if you've ever been to like
3:19
McDonald's or or someplace that's you
3:21
know you've eaten a lot of multiprocess
3:22
foods and you eat it and then you're
3:24
full and then without an hour or two
3:26
later you're like I'm so hungry that's
3:29
because the food food you've eaten
3:30
doesn't have satiety if you have satiety
3:34
then first of all you don't eat as much
3:36
and and second of all is you know you
3:38
know that you're eating better
3:41
Foods so that's why we're great
3:43
Believers here and not just Fresh Foods
3:45
but foods that help you feel full longer
3:49
if you eat the foods that help you feel
3:51
full longer then it will help to ensure
3:55
that basically you're you're eating
3:56
healthier foods number one and two that
3:58
you won't eat as much
4:01
you know there'll be foods that are rich
4:02
in fibers like you know vegetables
4:05
fruits uh you know beans whole grains
4:09
that are loaded with dietary fibers
4:12
which you know give kind of a slow
4:13
digestion and help us feel full longer
4:16
foods like broccoli apples lentils and
4:20
oats are particularly effective at Curb
4:22
hunger protein packed choices such as
4:26
chicken fish tofu eggs Greek yogurt have
4:30
a very high
4:31
satiety protein takes longer to digest
4:34
than
4:36
carbohydrates you know healthy foods
4:38
that have healthy fats such as you know
4:41
uh nuts seeds olive oil all of those
4:44
also help you feel full much longer the
4:48
last one or the last pillar that we talk
4:51
about for a healthy life or Healthy
4:53
Living is Fitness and you know if any of
4:58
you are listening this podcast to me
4:59
means you're already thinking about you
5:01

5:03
going to change your life or what you
5:05
can do to improve your life or how how
5:08
you can just make better choices in life
5:10
Fitness is really one of the pillars
5:14
because with with the Fresh Foods with
5:17
the foods that help you feel full if you
5:20
then have Fitness in there then that
5:22
really is the core of a healthy life it
5:26
will help boast your metabolism number
5:28
one Fitness will it will enhance your
5:31
mood you'll just feel better after
5:33
exercising it will improve your
5:35
cardiovascular health it will add
5:39
support muscles and bone health and it
5:41
it helps the aid in weight management
5:43
and I don't know about you but you know
5:45
the days that I don't exercise I just
5:48
sort of feel groggy all day you know I
5:49
don't I'm not as sharp as I normally am
5:52
sometimes I'm just outright lazy I admit
5:55
it right I'm can just be outright lazy
5:57
those days I don't exercise and so so I
6:00
find that you know by exercising it just
6:03
puts me in a sharper mood I'm able to
6:05
get more accomplished throughout the day
6:08
I'm able to make better decisions I'm
6:10
able to think clear just all of those
6:13
things happen when you exercise years
6:15
ago when I was in my master's program at
6:18
my University I was under such stress
6:21
that I couldn't eat I was you know I was
6:23
up till 12:00 at night getting up at
6:25
6:00 in the morning I wasn't getting
6:27
enough sleep I wasn't get enough rest I
6:29
fin and was was you know constantly had
6:32
this upset stomach and I went to the
6:34
doctor and the doctor said you have
6:35
chronic stress later in my my life about
6:38
a couple years later fast forward I had
6:40
my first job I was also under a lot of
6:41
stress I had the same thing happen and
6:44
in both cases the doctors are like they
6:45
wanted to give me volume and I said
6:47
first time I think I took it the second
6:49
time I'm like I I don't want to be in
6:50
volume the rest of my life what else can
6:53
I do so I really started running and
6:55
Tred to getting my energy out and and
6:57
trying to live a more Balanced Life and
6:59
that really made a difference for me
7:01
that really helped put my anxiety it
7:04
helped put my stress at Bay now I'm not
7:07
a doctor and I'm not telling you if your
7:09
doctor put you on drugs that you get off
7:10
the drugs and just exercise I'm not
7:12
saying that here at all I'm just saying
7:13
that for me that personally worked for
7:15
me that exercise helped me get over a
7:18
lot of you know the anxiety and and
7:21
other things I just know that when I
7:24
exercise I just feel happier and better
7:27
throughout the day it's kind of those
7:29
you know happy what they call dopamines
7:32
that they you know that you just feel
7:33
better because you've gotten out and you
7:35
you've exercised I find for me that that
7:38
helps and you need to experiment with
7:40
yourself to find out that's something
7:42
which works for you but it really shows
7:45
that if you can also exercise um do
7:48
things like cut out the diet sodas Eat
7:50
Fresh Foods eat foods that help you feel
7:53
full longer then you know you will feel
7:56
better and yes it does take more time I
7:59
understand cooking fresh takes more time
8:02
um there's some really great channels on
8:03
YouTube where people show how they
8:05
prepare their lunches you know for the
8:07
whole week you know there so there ways
8:09
that you can do it tricks that you can
8:10
do but if you really really just you
8:13
know decide that you're going to cook
8:15
fresh and you're going to do it quickly
8:18
then you you know do it as you learn to
8:21
do it faster you'll find that it's
8:23
probably takes you as much time to
8:26
prepare your meal as it does for you to
8:28
go get in the car go down the street go
8:31
through the drive-through at McDonald's
8:34
and come back and eat it probably takes
8:35
you as much time to prepare the meal as
8:38
it did for you to go through the
8:39
drive-thru and get your meal we've
8:41
written a blog post entitled combining
8:43
fresh food satiety and fitness for Total
8:45
Health and we will put a link in the
8:48
description in case you're interested to
8:49

8:54
low carb life and that you will you get
8:56
some ideas of three things you can do
8:58
for this trifecta of Health which
9:00
basically is about eating Fresh Foods
9:03
eating foods that help you feel full
9:05
longer and about Fitness and you know I
9:08
do this blog because I really am a great
9:10
believer in this I am a convert in these
9:13
three things I believe in these three
9:15
things and I know that they can make a
9:18
difference I know how damaging Alti
9:20
processed foods are that doesn't mean
9:22
that you never have Alti processed foods
9:24
the rest of your life you never go out
9:25
to eat again or you never go through a
9:27
McDonald's again I'm not saying that I'm
9:30
just saying that if you could switch and
9:33
eat where 80% of your Foods could be
9:35
fresh and maybe 20% Al iprocess you will
9:39
be far better off than if it was 80% Al
9:42
iprocess and 20% fresh that's what we're
9:45
going for here we really do appreciate
