It is also the total diet or overall eating pattern that is most important in disease prevention and achieving good health. To ensure your
body gets all the micro nutrients it needs it is better to eat a diet with a variety, than to concentrate on individual foods, as the key to good health.
Diet is not just calories consumed, its more about nutrition and how your body reacts to what you eat.
Just dieting is generally frustrating, as in If results are fast and practice biological feedback loops prevent measurable, self most people from maintaining weight discipline isn’t really a loss. Then why should one expect any problem. better from the Low – Carb diet as recommended by Ferriss and herein. It is because he takes such feedback loops into consideration and the changes he suggests are either small or simple, and often both. There is zero room for misunderstanding and visible results compel you to continue. If results are fast and measurable, self discipline isn’t really a problem.
Small, simple things can lead to unusual solutions to long standing problems.
The process isn’t hard. Tiny changes are all that is needed. Tiny changes that while small in isolation produce enormous changes when used in combination.
Suffice to say for uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places. Thankfully people like Timothy Ferriss have done the looking and trying out for us. However you still remain the arbiter of your health and so select what you need to do as best suits you. Also please do consult your Physician before starting the regimen, especially if you are on any medication.
Since the food consumed may not routinely include all of the necessary micronutrients (vitamins and minerals, etc) in the quantities that are required, it becomes necessary to be selective in the diet to best meet such requirements, and where that is not practical or possible, to go in for suitable supplements.
Finally, exercise and a right attitude and mediation for stress relief are all important elements of a regimen aiming at Total Wellness. (See – ‘Exercising’).
Charles Duhigg in his book ‘The Power of Habit’ – notes that when people start habitually exercising, even as infrequently as once a week, they start changing other, unrelated patterns in their lives. Typically people, who exercise, start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They show more patience with colleagues and family. They use credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. It’s not completely clear why. But for many people, exercise is a keystone habit that triggers wide spread change. There is something about exercise that makes other good habits easier.
