Supplements & FOOD LIST:
When starting out on a healthy path there are a few
supplements that may make it easier for you to get results. You DO NOT have to
take any supplements. It is absolutely possible to get all of the nutrients you
need from the food that you eat. I would definitely recommend trying to do it through FOOD! Remember, you are changing your mindset so
that food is made to fuel your body.
Glutamine:
An amino acid: helps with muscle soreness. Take immediately following post
workout. You will need 10 grams
“Glutamine (abbreviated as Gln
or Q) is one of the 20 amino acids
encoded by the standard genetic code.
It is not recognized as an essential amino
acid, but may become conditionally essential in certain situations,
including intensive athletic training or certain gastrointestinal disorders.[citation needed] Its side-chain is an amide formed by replacing
the side-chain hydroxyl
of glutamic acid with
an amine functional group, making
it the amide of glutamic acid.
Its codons are CAA and
CAG. In human blood,
glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid, with a
concentration of about 500–900 µmol/l.[2]”
Protein:
“Whey
protein is a mixture of globular proteins isolated
from whey, the liquid material
created as a by-product of cheese
production. Some preclinical studies in rodents have suggested that whey
protein may possess anti-inflammatory
or anti-cancer properties.[1][2] The effects
of whey protein on human health are of great interest and are currently being
investigated as a way of reducing disease risk, as well as a possible
supplementary treatment for several diseases.[3]”
Whey protein is commonly marketed and ingested
as a dietary
supplement, and various health claims have been attributed to it in
the alternative
medicine community.[4] Although
whey proteins are responsible for some milk allergies, the major
allergens in milk are the caseins.[5][6]”
There are MANY different types of protein. Whey is what most people
need that start out trying to build muscle. If you’re goal is to lose FAT(remember,
no one CARES what you WEIGH, we are LOSING FAT, NOT WEIGHT!), be careful about
calories/grams of protein. I use performance whey from Costco. (I am not paid
to push products). It is 30gram of protein/140 calories. It only has 1 gram of
sugar. This is ideal for those cutting sugar out of their diet.
Flaxseed- This is not “technically”
a supplement. However, if your body is not digesting properly you will not lose
weight. I throw a tablespoon of ground flaxseed in every shake. It makes it a
bit gritty but it’s benefits out weigh the grit. Also low on the GI index (more info in a few paragraphs)
WATER!: Water is the
ultimate in goodness for your body. Sufficient amounts of water are necessary
to make your organs work. Your organs make your body function properly. Without
giving yourself enough water each day, you’re letting your body down in a BIG
WAY.

FOOD LIST: (LOW GI FOOD LIST)
What
Is the Glycemic Index (GI)?
Glycemic
Index (GI) is a measurement carried out on carbohydrate-containing foods and
their impact on our blood sugar. GI is a relatively new way of analyzing foods.
Previously, most meal plans designed to improve blood sugar analyzed the total
amount of carbohydrates (including sugars and starches) in the foods
themselves. GI goes beyond this approach, looking at the impact of foods on our
actual blood sugar. In other words, instead of counting the total amount of carbohydrates
in foods in their unconsumed state, GI measures the actual impact of these
foods on our blood sugar. We rank our WHFoods as being very low, low, medium,
or high in their GI value. You can find a GI value for each individual food in
its food profile. Just go to any food profile and take a look at the DRI%/DV%
bar chart that is located towards the beginning of the article. At the top
right-hand side of the chart you will find the food's GI value.
Why
Is GI Important?
Over
the past 15 years, low-GI diets have been associated with decreased risk of
cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, stroke,
depression, chronic kidney disease, formation of gall stones, neural tube
defects, formation of uterine fibroids, and cancers of the breast, colon,
prostate, and pancreas. Taking advantage of these potential health benefits can
be as simple as sticking with whole, natural foods that are either low or very
low in their GI value. We've ranking all of our WHFoods as being either high
GI, medium GI, low GI, or very low GI to make it easier for you to focus on
foods whose GI values fall into the low or very low range (we've also done this
for the herbs and spices we include on the website).
How
Is GI Measured?
Typically,
a food is consumed in whatever serving size will provide 50 grams (about 1.8
ounces) of available carbohydrates. Available carbohydrates (or avCHOs) are
carbohydrates that get readily digested, absorbed, and metabolized by our body.
These carbohydrates have a much greater impact on our blood sugar level than
carbohydrates in general because carbohydrates in general include substances
that aren't readily digested, absorbed, and metabolized. Insoluble fibers, for
example, are carbohydrates that do not have an immediate impact on our blood
sugar level because they cannot be readily digested. As a very general way of
estimating available carbohydrates in a serving of food, researchers take the
total amount of carbohydrates and subtract out the total amount of fiber.
Available carbohydrates are what's left.
After
50 grams of available carbohydrates have been consumed, blood sugar levels are
measured over a period of 2 hours. The results are plotted on a graph and
summarized in what is called glucose AUC, or "area under the curve."
Glucose AUC shows the immediate impact of the food on our blood sugar.
Measuring
GI also requires a second step. In this second step, 50 grams of available
carbohydrate are consumed, but this time the food involved is one of two
reference foods: either white bread or pure sugar (glucose). Once again, blood
sugar levels are measured over a period of 2 hours, and the glucose AUC is
calculated. At this point, it is possible to compare the two results. The
impact of the first food on our blood sugar is compared to the impact of either
white bread or glucose itself. When these two results are compared, the impact
of the white bread or glucose is arbitrarily given a value of 100 to make the
comparison easier. As an example, let's say that researchers are trying to establish
a GI for green peas and they decide to compare the impact of green peas on
blood sugar to the impact of white bread. And in this example, let's say that a
person consumes a starchy vegetable like green peas, and the glucose AUC (area
under the curve) is 48% as large the glucose AUC when white bread is consumed.
In this case, the GI for green peas would be established at 48% of 100, or 48.
(In fact, this is precisely the GI that we use for green peas at WHFoods.)
THIS DIET IS EASY. You can eat everywhere. This is for all
types of people, all levels of activity, and all levels of weight loss. You
will feel full, you can eat vegetarian, or vegan! There is a lot of room to
customize. Stay low on the index, and NO PROCESSED FOODS!!
