Nutrition Tip - Food Displacement
Today’s tip is really common sense. But as we all know, common sense isn’t necessarily all that common. The trick of this tip is be careful that if you use “cheat meals” that you don’t let them take the place of what you should really be eating. Here’s the tip from John Berardi:
Don’t Displace, Dummy!
by Dr. John Berardi
There’s a big difference between a healthy diet to which treats are occasionally added and an ‘all-treat diet.’ In the former, unhealthy foods are consumed rarely and in addition to healthy foods. In the latter, unhealthy foods are consumed often and instead of healthy foods. This is called ‘food displacement’ and must be avoided if optimal body composition and health are your goals. Don’t displace nutrient dense food with empty calories!

I have tried so many diet programs without success and nearly gave up, and then I bought and tried Fat Loss for Idiots. It is a no-nonsense approach that really worked for me!

The important thing to remember is that if you mess up, just get back on track. It’s not the end of the world.

I admit, I have not been on this website in a long time, however it was joy to find it again. It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals! I cheers for helping to make people more aware of these issues. Just great stuff as per usual!Enjoy the remaining portion of the year. Your conducting a fabulous job.
Brilliant, I’d never heard of it called the ‘all treat diet’ but that sums it up so well. I say listen closely to your body but maintain a healthy skepticism of what your taste buds are saying, they can lead you astray.. as can your emotions. Jasmine
I try to eat healthy and to make my children eat healthy, too which could be a big challenge. I try to compensate the junk food with natural supplements - spirulina and chlorella.

Yeah, common sense is not always that common nowadays, even when it concerns your nutrition tip about food displacement. Personally, I like real food like what you find from homemade country style cooking, not empty junk food with table sugar (sucrose) and trans fat, etc.
Anyway, it looks like you have a pretty decent health blog here with loads of interesting subjects; keep up the good work…
