Sport Nutrition To Help With Endurance

• Author John Salmon
  
  
  

Endurance sports nutrition gives you a nutrition advice that is just jampacked with very useful details, together with sets of customized eating plans specifically regarding sports, to ensure that the food that you choose will keep you going on before, during and after various competitions

A remarkable and very well-known author, Suzanne Girard Eberle, MS, RD, tells those who are concerned of her background as a registered dietician who has her specialty on sports nutrition. She also admits that she knows much and much about endurance sports nutrition because she, herself, is an elite endurance athlete. So she can tell you how endurance sports nutrtion works, or what is not supposed to be done regarding endurance sports nutrition, in actual training and situations that involve racing.

The resource that is said to be the most comprehensive of its kind, is the prescriptive book that the said endurance athlete, slash dietician, wrote. It includes tried and true advice and suggestions from different endurance athletes who are at the top of their sports.

But if you would really like to know from the best persons to talk to when it comes to endurance sports nutrition, there are various websites that you could log on to to be able to contact, or if not contact, at least ask a few questions to world-class athletes.

You can avail Karen Smyers's, a triathlete, assistance about endurance sports nutrition. She is a triathlete, so she knows things about endurance thrice more than what others do.

Another is the marathon runner Keith Brantly. Running is not as easy as it sounds, but running is, in fact, the easy part. It is the enduring the pain that grows in your legs that is not.

You can also try to have your questions answered by the world-known marathon swimmer Tobie Smith. Endurance sports nutrition in swimming is very very difficult because there are two kinds of pressures that you face, pressure under the water and atmospheric pressure.

And last, but certainly not the least, is the cyclist Kerry Ryan. It is almost the same as running, with the movement of the legs and the endurance of the pain that grow in your legs.

However, you have to be a master of balance to be able to pull cycling off. All of these world-class athletes will happily and obligingly share their knowledge, and with absolute right because of their many years of training and competing against the world's best.

There are many kinds of sports where endurance sports nutrition can help you maximize your performance. Endurance sports nutrition can help you a great deal in running. As mentioned above, running is the easy part, it is enduring the pain that is constantly present in your lower extremeties that you need to endure.

In triathlons, you have to take note of enduring three stages of sports. So endurance sports nutrition is definetely handy if you want to be able to move on to the next stage and not faint in one of the first stages.

The endurance in swimming is not like any other. Why? It is because, like told before, there are two kinds of pressure that you need to think about. There is, first, the pressure that you experience under the water, plus the atmospheric water. So whether you put your face under water or you turn your head out of the water to breathe in some air, the cramps and the pain caused by the pressure should be endured.

In rowing, it is all about upper body strength. Yes, it also involves coordination with your teammates and most of all mind and arm coordination, but if you are weak with your upper body, then rowing is not the thing for you. Your hands will probably suffer bruises from your firm grips on the oars, but you arms are the ones that should have high endurance. Endurance sports nutrition can definitely help you survive the boat ride.

Cycling, like mentioned, is not that much different from running. Your legs also experience the most pain, and you have to endure the pain that is constant on your lower extremities. But this time, there is also the balance to think of. And for those who have a hard time balancing, enduring cycling is very hard. So this is where endurance sports nutrition comes in.

Endurance sports nutrition can definitely make you a better athlete, if you cannot endure whatever it is that you are doing, how can you perform well? So if you are thinking that sports is all about performance, you are wrong for without endurance, you can never perform a certain sport well.

The Evolution of Protein and Protein Bar Recipe & Morning Routine of a Fitness Expert | Kris Gethin

The Evolution of Protein

Author Rooban Princely

 

Over the last decade and beyond, protein is an ingredient that has had something of a health halo attached to it. This is because the ingredient is one that is known and trusted, can be found in everyday food and drinks and is associated with a myriad of health benefits. Moreover, unlike ingredients like antioxidants that have traditionally had a more feminine positioning, protein is an ingredient that has the same level of appeal amongst men and women. This interest in protein is one that looks like it is not residing soon. For instance,  a few consumer insights companies have done surveys of 30,000 consumers conducted in Q3 2018/Q2 2019 found that 40% of consumers across the globe would like to increase their protein intake. (Continued below.....)

 Kris Gethin explains his daily morning routine for keeping his nutrition and supplementation on track.

► BodyFit Training Programs: https://bbcom.me/3kW6WwC

(Continued......)When it comes to protein, 45% of consumers say that they know how much protein they have in their diets. This reflects how consumers recognize that protein is something that can be obtained from a variety of food and drink products. However, as consumers look to increase their intake of the ingredient, they are turning to the impulse category and seeking out high protein drinks and snacks bars to do so. This is a reason why the sports nutrition market is becoming increasingly mainstream, being driven not by active gym goers but instead, everyday consumers who are looking for a convenient health boost.
Consumer insights companies survey of 26,000 consumers across twenty-six countries in Q3 2019 found that in the last twelve months, 51% of consumers say that they have switched from snacking on traditional items such as chocolate and confectionery and instead, have switched to high protein/low sugar alternatives.
The aforementioned survey of 30,000 consumers found that consumers are most likely to associate protein with general health and wellness benefits (62%) compared to specialist benefits such as increasingly muscle mass (33%). This – and the growth of the sports nutrition snacking market as an alternative to traditional snack products- shows that consumers are more likely to be turning to high protein products because they are taking a proactive approach to health in general, as opposed to using products as part of a strenuous health routine. As a result of this, it is important not to over-estimate the influence of factors such as source of protein or issues such as amino acids and complementary proteins when choosing products. Instead, consumers are happy just to find products with high protein claims because they are deemed to be guilt-free and conveniently nutritious. This is further reflected in the fact that across the globe, there is very little difference in terms of appeal between plant protein (57%) and whey protein (55%), further highlighting how it is important not to over-estimate that consumers are seeking out products from a specific source.
Conclusion
The popularity of high protein products will be dependent on how easily consumers can incorporate products into their diets in a hassle-free manner. This means that rather than the source of the protein, consumers are more likely to prioritize the taste and affordability of such products.

These incredible foods can suppress your appetite for junk food and keep your body running smoothly with clean fuel and efficient energy.
Below are the 4 most effective foods that burn stubborn belly fat fast.
#1
Avocado Pear: Now who doesn’t love pear? These little suckers are loaded with two nutrients that are key to killing belly fat:
(a) Hunger crushing fiber (11 to 17 grams per avocado!)
(b) Monounsaturated fats, which studies have shown to actually "spot reduce" belly fat.
Avocaodes can also be used to make one of the most delicious food toppings ever created called guacamole (mashed avocados with garlic, onion, tomato, pepper, etc) is one of the most delicious toppings ever created, and you can be happy to know that it's also one of the healthiest spreads you can use on your foods, salads etc.
#2
Whole Eggs - And I mean the whole egg not just the egg white. In fact the egg yolk is the healthiest part of the egg... that's where almost all of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (such as lutein) are found.
Egg Yolk contains more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of the egg.The B12 eggs contain is a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.
In addition, the yolks contain ALL of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as ALL of the essential fatty acids (EFAs). Also, the protein of whole eggs is more bio-available than egg whites alone due to a more balanced amino acid profile that the yolks help to build.
#3
Cabbage – This is another vegetable commonly found everywhere that burns stubborn belly fat. Cabbage contains those special and unique phytonutrients including indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that helps to kill estrogenic belly-fat-causing substances in your body.
So by eliminating these kinds of stomach fat stimulating estrogenic substances, this is just 1 more step in aiding you to win the struggle against belly fat!
#4
Oats – This is another great meal. In fact it’s one of the meals to eat for breakfast in the form of Quaker oats. It has so many benefits one being it’s belly fat-burning characteristic.
Oatmeal is among the best when it comes to healthy carbohydrates and "quality" calories. It is also referred to as a fat burning food because it has a high fiber content and high levels of certain fat burning antioxidants.
Some people don’t know how to eat oats but if you really serious about losing belly fat, its time to start developing a new liking for the foods that will help you! It contains various eggs and oats recipes for astonishing flat belly results.

Paleo Versus Keto Diet and Essential Supplements for Plant Based Diets | Brain Gainz from BBcom

Paleo Versus Keto Diet

Author Stephen Roberts

 

The paleo and keto diets are probably among the two most contended ways of living currently and are seeing an increase year after year. But what are they compared to 'Other' diets and what makes them so popular and appealing?
Firstly it would be a good idea to look at the one word that scares most people and that is the word 'Diet'. A diet is just a way of describing how someone eats. An American 'diet' for example is a way of saying western traditional foods and a way in which that particular continent eats rather than an Asian Diet and the types of food their population eats compared to the rest of the world. Using the word to 'Diet' has become a way of people thinking it means to cut back and not to eat certain foods or just to eat 'Rabbit' food to lose weight, which is not always the case. (Continued below.....)

 If you follow a plant based diet you are most likely missing out on important essential amino acids found in animal proteins. Try these vegetarian-friendly supplements. 

► Shop Plant Based Supplements: https://bbcom.me/PlantBased_Supps 

► Try Combat Fit: 8-Week ACFT Training Plan: https://bbcom.me/combatfitacft 

► REDCON1 Green Beret Plant Protein (Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off): https://bbcom.me/2ClZfxZ 

► Optimum Gold Standard Plant Protein (20% Off): https://bbcom.me/2O41rgr 

► Up to 30% Off Vega: https://bbcom.me/38FvtAz

(......continued....) Some peoples' diets consist of eating foods which 'Bulk' up the body, so to use the word diet as a means of saying 'weight loss' can be false. This then really just suggests a way of describing the types of food you do eat and perhaps the ones you don't or shouldn't eat using either the Paleo or Keto 'Diet'.
The Paleo and Keto lifestyles has gained traction this past decade, largely thanks to medical reports that link obesity and poor eating habits to the modern way of living, such as the amount of sugar in soda drinks, fast food that bulks up the main food content with substitutes like Soy and the amount of snacks that people eat between meals, not just to cut out hunger cravings but to replace healthier meal times by actually being too lazy to make a sandwich or light meal, but preferably open a packet of chips (crisps) along with a chocolate bar for 'energy' purposes, when actually these are slowing the body down, adding weight and unconsciously making people lazy, because it's easy.
By returning back to the idea of feeding the body its more natural sources of food such as organic grass fed meat and vegetables along with small portions of fruit, most fruit has its own natural sugar source, then proponents of these diets say they and those that follow these types of 'dieting' lifestyle are fitter, stronger, have a clearer mind and are less likely to suffer from illnesses, not just the ones that are obviously associated with being overweight, such as diabetes and joint inflammation problems due to the body carrying the extra weight.
A paleo diet would consist of high calorie density made up generally with meat and vegetables.By calorie density, you would most certainly say proteins and fats make up the largest portion of the Paleo eater’s macronutrient intake. It is not, however, just about the meat. By mass, vegetable consumption would top the list based on the fact it has a lower calorie density. You could indeed find yourself eating more vegetables than even your vegan and vegetarian friends and certainly more than in your former life, should you be considering this route. There is plenty of room in a paleo diet to eat a wide variety of plant-based foods like vegetables, fruit, nuts, spices, and herbs simply because your daily calorie needs are not made up of nutrient-devoid processed foods. It’s about eating real food that you are comfortable with and provides a balance of nutrients to work towards gaining optimal health.
The keto diet has a similar ethos about not eating processed foods and chemically produced fizzy drinks. The keto diet though for some has become a religion and more than a lifestyle, achieving 'Ketosis' is the mantra. Ketones are the main focus and how they control the bodies immune system and regulate the distribution of fats and protein. A ketogenic lifestyle consists of eating low carb, high healthy fat, and moderate protein 99 percent of the time. While the paleo diet can also claim to be low carb, the keto diet can for some be about zero carbohydrates for the simple reason it deliberately manipulates the ratios of carbs, fats, and protein to switch fat into the body’s primary source of fuel. Our bodies are used to using carbohydrates as fuel. Fats, which is a secondary source of fuel, are rarely tapped on when we eat and drink sugary foods. That means the extra fat is stored and keeps adding on the pounds.
On the keto diet, you don’t count calories. You count carbohydrates and adjust the intake of carbs vs. fat and protein. A typical keto diet will get 60 percent of its calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent of calories from protein, and 25 percent of calories from carbohydrates. The only limitation on the diet is sugar, which you need to avoid.
In conclusion, both have a high success rate of those who use either the paleo or keto diets to either lose weight or to bulk up on natural food sources. Quite simply though it requires a mind shift as well as a change of eating habits. To suddenly go from eating one particular food source to another can be a challenge in itself. Just like any such challenge prepare yourself by changing at a pace that is you and not at a 'this must work for me attitude' otherwise you are set for failure. Having goals, not just for weight loss and the amount of pounds you will and want to lose but what you want to achieve in looks and exercise for a fitter healthier you. Taking this in to consideration will add more impetous to your objectives and you are more likely to succeed.

Netrition - About Us

Netrition.com is the Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore. The company was started in 1996 by two brothers who were into health and fitness and wanted to change the way you could access nutritional supplements. In 1996, you had two options: go to GNC and pay full retail or go online and make a purchase from an unsecured site, where you were presented only with a listing of the brand and product name, and then pray you got what you thought you ordered. Sadly, most went to GNC and paid full retail. That's where Netrition came in. We brought consumers not just a listing of the brand and product name, but also a full product description with nutrition facts and an image. This enabled the consumer to know exactly what they were going to get when placing an order at our web site. And we did it for a fraction of the cost one would pay at stores like GNC. That combined with lightning fast delivery and superior customer service has made us the force in the nutritional supplement industry we are today.

Netrition - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!   In the beginning, Netrition provided largely bodybuilding supplements and vitamins. However, shortly thereafter we started offering a variety of low carb products. This was long before low carb dieting/eating went mainstream.
While we have grown leaps and bounds from our start in the basement of a house, we have always maintained that small business mentality where management is an integral part of the daily operation and customer satisfaction is our number one priority.
We currently operate out of offices and warehouse totaling approximately 42,000 square feet. The warehouse is 100% climate controlled with four large walk-in freezers to keep all perishable products frozen until the day they ship to the consumer. And our order fill accuracy rate is over 99.99%.

Instead, Andrew had to learn how to retool his entire diet to overcome his major hurdle: Crohn's disease. "Crohn's covers your entire gastrointestinal track—from the esophagus down into your colon, so I couldn't digest food properly." Five years after being diagnosed with Crohn's, Andrew had gained over 100 pounds and watched his body fat balloon up to 33 percent. Andrew had several reasons to change, but in the end, aesthetics alone weren't enough to get Andrew to commit to a fit lifestyle—his family was. "It was difficult just to play outside with my kids," he says. "Being told by my doctor that I couldn't do anything active except walking really pushed me to make a change." It wasn't until I got fed up dealing with things that I saw a nutritionist who revamped my meal plan. She stripped my meals down to find out what I could digest. There was a time when all I was eating was baked chicken. There was no variety at all. I could put it in soup, but broth and bird were it.
After following my own program and getting used to working out again, I followed "Kris Gethin's 12-Week Muscle-Building Trainer" and "Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred." Both were rough, but I loved them. Whenever I push myself really hard at the end of a workout, I get this crazy euphoric feeling. “I have a lot of work to do, but I want to compete in a physique competition. I love the way physique competitors look, and I've always loved competing.” He says. “The biggest thing is to listen to your body. If you're paying attention, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know. And remember, you are capable of so much more than you think.”

If you participated in my World Carnivore Month Challenge let me know in the comments below. 

 Cheers to some tomahawk and rib eye steaks! #CarnivoreChallenge 
 | Carnivore Diet | The Carnivore diet involves eliminating all plant foods from your diet and exclusively eating meat, fish, eggs, and small amounts of dairy products. Foods to eat include beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey, organ meats, salmon, sardines, white fish, and small amounts of heavy cream and hard cheese. Butter, lard, and bone marrow are also allowed. 

 The Carnivore Diet encourages drinking water and bone broth but discourages drinking tea, coffee, and other drinks made from plants. If you want to learn more about "The Carnivore Diet' check out Shawn Baker's book, 'The Carnivore Diet," Shawn Baker’s Carnivore Diet is a revolutionary, paradigm-breaking nutritional strategy that takes contemporary dietary theory and dumps it on its head. It breaks just about all the “rules” and delivers outstanding results. 

At its heart is a focus on simplicity rather than complexity, subtraction rather than addition, making this an incredibly effective diet that is also easy to follow. 

The Carnivore Diet reviews some of the supporting evolutionary, historical, and nutritional science that gives us clues as to why so many people are having great success with this meat-focused way of eating. It highlights dramatic real-world transformations experienced by people of all types. 

Common disease conditions that are often thought to be lifelong and progressive are often reversed on this diet, and in this book, Baker discusses some of the theory behind that phenomenon as well. It outlines a comprehensive strategy for incorporating the Carnivore Diet as a tool or a lifelong eating style, and Baker offers a thorough discussion of the most common misconceptions about this diet and the problems people have when transitioning to it.

Collagen supplements appear to be effective for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Research also supports their use for reducing joint pain, stiffness, and degeneration. However, the evidence is not convincing for collagen supplements when it comes to treating hair loss, brittle nails, osteoporosis, periodontitis, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, and liver disease. 

To see the benefits of collagen peptides, you need 2.5 grams daily. The rest of your protein should come from quality sources such as grass-fed beef, free-range poultry and eggs, lean pork raised without hormones, wild-caught salmon, and other low-mercury fish and seafood. Vegans should choose minimally-processed soy products, beans, peas, lentils, and whole grains.

BodyRockTV Lisa Marie Featuring: Resistance Leg Warm Up and Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein

Protein, protein, protein...are you getting enough protein? No matter your diet—vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, Mediterrian or whatever else is out there these days—one of the main questions when you discuss your dietary choices seems to be: are you getting enough protein?

On one hand, it makes sense. Protein is a  vital macronutrient and one of the building blocks of life. On the other hand, sometimes it feels like the whole protein discussion is intentionally muddled just to scare people into buying shit they don’t need. So, we want to help clear things up. For those of you who are wondering about the differences between plant protein vs. animal protein, keep reading. We’re about to clear things up. 
Let’s start with the basics. 
What Is Protein?
A quick refresher on what protein is, and why it's important that you eat enough. Protein helps construct your blood, bones, cartilages, skin and muscles. It also has a role in repairing and maintaining your tissues as well as in the creation of body chemicals such as hormones or enzymes.
Protein is considered a macronutrient, i.e. one of the big nutrients your body needs to survive (the other two are fat and carbs). And get this, your body weight is made up of16% protein! 
Protein is comprised of different amino acids some your body manufactures itself while other‘essential’ amino acids require supplementation.
Plant Powered Protein!
We all know that defines animal protein, but what aboutplant protein?What plants are potently powerful protein sources?

• Soy (edamame, tofu or tempeh)
• Lentils & Legume (chickpeas or peanuts) 
• Seeds & Nuts (almonds, chia or hemp)  
• Vegetables & Fruits (potatoes, green peas, broccoli, kale, avocado or mushrooms)
• Grains & Bread (quinoa, spelt, oats, teff, buckwheat, amaranth or Ezekiel bread)
• Rice & Beans 
• Spirulina, Mycoprotein & Seitan

Although many experts agree that a diverse plant-based diet can provide you with proper nutrition, there is one common misconception we would like to clear up, and that’s the notion that plant-protein is incomplete and needs to be combined in order for you to make up the protein quota necessary for a healthy lifestyle. You’ll read nearly everywhere that quinoa is one of the only complete plant-proteins, but the reality is that’s a big whooping falsehood. Rice is just as complete a protein as quinoa or steak. Think about it: both are ‘naturally occurring’ the only difference is plant proteins have varying levels of amino acids. But, you don’t need to worry about protein combining or adding animal protein to make up for varying levels of amino acids. Everyday, our body creates a reservoir of 90 grams of protein that can be reassembled to patch any deficiencies. What this means for those dependent on plant-protein is that when you eat a starch (e.g. rice or potatoes) and then mix in your fruits and veggies, you’re consuming all the nutrients required for robust health. In other words, if you eat a variety of nutritious whole foods and don’t have any preexisting medical conditions or an exclusive list of dietary restrictions, you’ll likely be all good. 
If you need help getting a handle on how to make plant-based meals, grab our Nutrition Guide and Meal Plan. This ebook tells you everything you want to know about proper, balanced nutrition, and is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and meat-eaters alike. It’s designed to help you feel more confident and comfortable about your nutrition, so you can enjoy your life in a stronger, healthier body. 
Plant Protein Health Benefits
Vegetarians and other meat-free diets, on the whole, experience these health benefits as compared to their meat-eating counterparts.

• Decreased risk of heart disease: A diet rich in plant-protein reduces cholesterol and blood pressure for an overall reduced risk of heart disease.
• Lower body mass: Plant-based diets tend to be leaner. Eating nuts improves weight loss while consuming beans or legumes can help with weight management.

Decreased risk of stroke and cancer.

All these findings support a plant-based lifestyle but keep in mind that research indicates that vegetarians and vegans tend to be more health conscious in general, which in itself could explain why they experience such vibrant health. 
Animal Protein

Animal protein and animal products like cheese are part of an omnivore's diet and an excellent source of protein. Unlike most plant-proteins, meat almost always contains all nine essential amino acids. 

• Poultry (chicken, turkey, quail)
• Red meat (beef, deer)
• Fish
• Eggs
• Dairy (milk, cheese or whey)

Animal proteins are not only rich in all the amino acids, but they also tend to have higher levels of specific vitamins and nutrients.

• Vitamin B12: Found in meat, fish and dairy. Vitamin B12 is a common deficiency for non-meat-eaters, which is concerning as B12 supports the formation of red blood cells, gives you energy, is heart-healthy and improves memory.
• Vitamin D: Is more bioavailable in animal products and found in fish, dairy and eggs. Vitamin D  is best known for improving calcium and phosphorus absorption, but it also can help with depression, weight loss, fights disease and supports normal immune function.
• DHA: An omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish, DHA is not made by the body and is a crucial nutrient for brain, skin and eye health.
• Heme-Iron: Found exclusively in red meats, heme-iron is easier to absorb and supports the oxygenation of blood cells.
• Zinc: Found mostly in meat, zinc is an essential mineral (your body doesn't produce it) required immune function, growth and wound healing.

However, eating animal protein isn't without its controversy. Red meat is a hot topic of debate in that many emerging studies link regular consumption of processed red meats (hot dogs, lunch meats, dried, smoked or canned meats) to heart disease, stroke and premature death. However, sufficient evidence indicates that unprocessed red meats are exempt from the above findings. The main concern with a diet rich in animal protein is fiber intake. Plants are fibrous whereas if you're more of a meat and potatoes kinda person you aren't likely getting enough fiber. So heed our warning and be sure to take in some fiber from plant sources!
Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein: What’s The Difference?
Protein is essential to life, and animal protein is complete while most plant-proteins have incomplete amino acid counts; but really what's important is that you get enough variety and high-quality protein to guarantee your best health. Animal protein has had it's credibility tossed into the meat grinder, that's why we see a boom in vegetarianism. But is it necessary to give up on meat if you don’t want to? Nope! The bad rep surrounds regular ingestion of processed red meats, like hot dogs. Unprocessed red meat and poultry don't have the same negative connotation, so both are solid alternatives. 
At the end of the day, most of us are lucky enough not to live in survival situations where we have to eat whatever we can get our hands on. What’s more, with alternative plant-based protein products and whole foods readily available at the local grocery store,  it is easier than ever to eat mostly or completely plant-based diets still get enough protein. You don’t have to scour the shelves in out-of-town speciality stores to find the flax or quinoa: more often than not, it’s right there.

HitchFit The Truth About Peanut Butter

Take a look at the nutritional facts on your jar of peanut butter. First of all, the serving size is 2 tablespoons—that’s not a whole lot. Second of all, most regular creamy peanut butter brands have about 190 calories in those 2 tablespoons. Seems like quite a bit, too. Continue reading that label and it will show you that peanut butter has 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of carbohydrates and 150 milligrams of sodium. So why do people consider peanut butter a healthy option? And what’s the doggone truth!?

Although peanut butter may not be the best choice for breakfast, lunch or especially dinner, it certainly isn’t the worst thing you could eat either. Peanut butter has the same ratio of unsaturated fatto saturated fat as olive oil, and that unsaturated fat isn’t the toxin that it’s often made out to be. At the same time, certain amounts of peanut butter can lead to health issues…and weight problems.

Let’s look at the jar half full…
In moderation (and we’re talking MAJOR moderation), the saturated fat found in peanut butter can actually help with protective HDL in circulation. Eighty-one percent of peanut butter is unsaturated, which actually contributes to heart health. In addition, peanut butter is a great source of fiber, vitamins and some minerals (like potassium! Whodda thought?).

…And now half empty

Peanut butter’s negatives seem to outweigh its positive. According to the Harvard Health Letter, peanut butter can increase harmful LDL, causes artery-clogging atherosclerosis and can make a person put on some major weight when too much is consumed. Keep in mind that reduced fat peanut butter isn’t much better. Just because there is less fat in reduced fat peanut butter simply means it’s filled with imitation fillers that could be just as bad.

What’s the alternative?

• Nuts: Go nuts on nuts! Many diets include nuts because they make you feel fuller with just a small amount. Some studies even prove that eating nuts raises metabolism—so get snacking!
• Natural peanut butter: Without all the sodium, peanut butter is even better for you. Natural peanut butter does not contain as much sugar, salt and hydrogenated fats.  Many Hitch Fit clients also eat other natural nut butters such as almond butter and cashew butter.  It’s delicious and nutritious!
• Eat peanut butter, but pair it healthily: Eating peanut butter on white bread certainly won’t help you lose weight. Neither will eating peanut butter cookies, peanut butter cups or loaded peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If you have to eat peanut butter, try eating it with celery, apples or mixed in with oatmeal.
