- Timi’s single leg hip thrusts at the studio. Koliaki et al. (2018) have written an interesting paper that provides general principles about healthy and sustainable diets. I have put some of their main points below but definitely recommend reading the whole thing as they critically discuss low-fat diets, low-carbohydrate diets, high-protein diets, very low-calorie diets with meal replacements, Mediterranean diet, and diets with intermittent energy restriction.
- A healthy diet is a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole-grain products and high-quality proteins - Low in added sugar, refined grains, and highly-processed foods. People who make the above dietary choices may find it easier to control their body weight without necessarily counting calories or limiting portion sizes daily. - Energy intake does certainly play a role, but the most effective strategy to achieve long-term weight loss and good cardiometabolic health is shifting to a healthy dietary pattern, compatible with individual food preferences and lifestyle habits - Physical activity and energy expenditure play also an important role in weight loss since sedentary individuals need to reduce their energy intake even when consuming a healthy diet to achieve and maintain weight loss. - Setting realistic goals for weight loss is important. - The best diet is one that people can follow for a long period of time without significant weight regain, so whatever facilitates this effort is greatly appreciable. .
