Food 101: Understanding the food we eat

Posted by Chris Powell on 07/15 at 06:55 AM under Eat

Without further hesitation, I’d like to introduce you to your partners on our weight loss journey. You will spend quality time together every three hours… when it’s time to eat!

Every meal we eat can be broken down into three very simple nutrients:

  1. Proteins
  2. Carbohydrates
  3. Fats

For the sake of education,  I like to separate carbohydrates into two categories:

  1. Starchy/Sugary carbohydrates
  2. Fibrous veggie carbohydrates

As we consume any meal, from pancakes and syrup to steak and potatoes, beneath our skin, three macronutrients begin an incredible symphony of chemical reactions in our bodies and play the single most important role in our weight loss journey.

  1. I am 1 of the 50 million desperate souls.  I need help.  WE need help!
    I am inspired and ready for a “re-shaped” me. Do you have to wait till September?
