About this listen
Have you ever wondered how the food pyramid came to be such a recognizable symbol of good nutrition and a balanced diet? We all strive to be our best selves, and a healthy diet is often a foundational piece of that goal. Food pyramids offer suggestions on how to achieve that essential healthy diet, but where does this guidance come from?
Nutrition drives every part of daily life, and every person's needs are a little bit different. It's a very complex subject that can be impacted by any number of factors. Visual guidelines like food pyramids and food plates are great tools to lay a sturdy groundwork, but they only tell part of the story. They're good starting points, but a deeper dive into underlying science is needed to be able to truly utilize them.
In Shattering the Food Pyramid, explore:
- The history and origins of the food pyramid
- How the recommendations were decided on
- Essential nutrients and the science behind them
- Breakdowns of each food group, their constituent foods, and their nutrient composition
- Common recommendations for each group designed to balance nutrient content
Expand your mind, and gain the knowledge needed to create a balanced diet that's right for you. Understand what creates good nutrition and promotes health without trends or fad diets.

Story
Ketosis diet or ketogenic diet, to be medically precise, is a very low carbohydrate diet with emphasis on moderate protein and high fat nutrition. Conventionally, it has been used as a treatment for diabetes and several physicians have supported its claim of being helpful in weight loss. The diet operates in similar facets to starvation with an important twist. In the latter, the body is deprived of all diet for several days while depending upon juices, drinks, or water to get by but when it comes to the ketosis diet, the body is forced to burn fat instead of carbohydrates.

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

The Ketogenic diet requires drastically reducing carbohydrate use and also concurrently increasing protein in the total amount needed to continue muscle mass with caloric ratios approximating to 50 percent, 30 percent curative fat, and 20 percent low glycemic index carbs. The basic nutritional recommendations include avoidance of high carbohydrate foods as potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, etc., and most of the fundamental carbs as honey, high sugar, and berry juice.

Nowadays, it appears as everybody is speaking about the ketogenic (in short, keto) diet - the really low carbohydrate, moderate protein, high-fat diet plan which transforms the body right into a fat-burning device. The latest scientific studies show that a greater protein, low carb diet plan markets changes in blood lipid details, improved thermogenesis of people with superior results and obesity for weight reduction, insulin resistance, and may assist with resolving the metabolic blocks which could stop weight loss.
