Best products from r/nutrition

This is a great question. The fact that you’re asking suggests you’re really looking at more than just what to eat, which is important. There are lots of factors to consider when eating. The big one most people miss is the psychology of eating. For instance, if we’re stressed or if we skipped a meal due to work or other activities, we’re much more likely to overeat. So while the physiological methods of the body telling us we’re full is beneficial, trying to balance out how you eat can help you manage your intake. Also consider that if you’re making any change to your diet, it will take time for your body to adapt. I’m a big fan and coach of elimination diets because it teaches not only what is affecting your body negatively, but when you take foods/drinks away, it gives a much clearer picture of our habits and cravings. It would be my guess that if you’re on a journey to eat more balanced, the best thing you could do is check out It Starts With Food. I’m not saying you should do the program suggested by the author, but there is a lot of really amazing information about how food affects our decision-making process. When you start to understand what your food habits are, what your cravings are, and what is driving you to eat more, then you can begin to build a better path. I always like to say that education is empowerment. It helps you have a why to your health and wellness journey, which can be difficult in our world. I hope this ya been beneficial! Good luck and remember, progress, not perfection.

EDIT: By take foods away, I mean during the elimination cycle. This doesn’t necessarily mean long term. The point of the elimination is to find out if the food is affecting you positively or negatively. If there are no issues found with a specific food group, then following the elimination diet, you would add that group back in. Again, elimination diets are like science experiments to see what is affecting you. So YOU can make your diet for your body work. It is a temporary process for a much bigger, long term project called your health and wellness journey.

Questionable health use for healthy humans (notice I say healthy): L-carnitine, CoQ10, and Inositol (Inositol is found in highest amounts in fruits, beans, grains, and nuts, and much smaller levels in meat). Some of those compounds, such as Carnosine, Taurine, and Creatine, can be beneficial, but not at the levels typically found in meat. The science shows that to get benefit, you have to supplement whether you eat meat of not. The levels in meat are not high enough for meat-eaters to derive benefit from them. Two of these compounds, choline and L-carnitine, have recently been shown to be related to atherosclerosis through the metabolization of gut bacteria into TMAO. Vitamin K1 (readily available in plants) is considered superior to K2 in humans and is sometimes converted into vitamin K2 in the human body. Protein is not a big issue as long as 3-4 servings of high lysine foods are consumed, such as beans, lentils, legumes, some nuts, soy, and seitan. Even with meat, bodybuilders supplement with protein powder. There are actually vegan bodybuilders and vegan protein powders.
The highest concentration of selenium is in brazilnuts (I eat one a day). Again, B12 is super easy to supplement with one 2500 microgram pill a week, as well as with fortified foods. I've not heard much about Phosphatidylserine, but it seems to only benefit older individuals with declining brain functions, and not the general population. Even then, those supplements are now made from soy (originally made from cow brain). Krill oil is just a source of DHA/EPA, and that DHA/EPA are originally made by the algae that krill eat. I take a DHA/EPA pill directly from the algae source, so that I avoid any possible heavy metal toxicity.

Anyways, there are millions of healthy vegans in the world. And, again, the ADA has released it's statement that a vegan diet is healthy. Besides the essential nutrients you listed (B12 and selenium, and in small amounts choline), the supplements are taken by non-vegans as well. Again, if you think they are beneficial, I'm not sure why you would only take them if you wanted to eat a vegan diet. Because non-vegans are deficient in many of these, as levels in meat are low compared to the levels needed to derive benefit.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live and Dr. John McDougall's The Starch Solution. Both books explain how a whole-food, plant-based diet is the diet for obtaining optimum health.

Dr. Fuhrman has a wonderful "TED talk" on YouTube in which he presents six case studies of individuals who completely turned their health around by adopting his recommended way of eating. Here is the video. It is so joyful, so uplifting--I highly recommend it. (I especially like the last five minutes which features the healthy family he raised on this nutrition plan.)

Here is a post on Dr. McDougall's Web site from an individual who lost 106 pounds in one year by following Dr. McDougall's diet. This post is especially valuable because of the chart the person includes showing how a number of biomarkers like his lipid panel improved over the course of the year. He also includes stunning before-and-after photographs. Even more valuable is the fact that this individual kept an online journal here in which he logged everything he ate during this remarkable year-long transformation. It is really a revelation to see the stunning health improvements which can be achieved by eating such simple, satisfying foods.

Good luck. I hope you find a solution which works for you.

You could always get these fatty acids from algae.

Here's where I get mine (I get my ALA from flaxseeds and my Omega 6s from walnuts but my DHA and EPA come from these vegcaps):

Happy supplementing. :)

I think this is indeed a very good question. The gut is generally considered as the center of the immune system and hence a favorable gut flora will go a long way to boost the immune system and improve overall wellness. When it comes to gut bacteria, a safe and natural way to replenish the good bacteria is to take probiotics. And some sources are yogurts, kefirs, kombucha and all that or probiotic supplements. I have used one and I can recommend it; Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural. Hence to balance gut flora and boost your immune system. i will attach a link so you may check it out. :

Actually, if you are reading Good Calories, Bad Calories, you can skip Metabolic Typing Diet. MTD is just another system to help you determine how your body processes fats and carbohydrates, which imho is the big variable when it comes to diet. But GCBC covers that along with updated information.

IIRC, GCBC also recommends starting with a super low-carbohydrate diet for a few weeks and then introducing carbs until you start to feel funky again, then pulling back til you feel better. This is pretty common practice for a lot of dieticians now. Incidentally, Taubes wrote a follow-up called Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It.
which is a bit of a rehash of GCBC but focuses more on putting the knowledge into practice. IMHO both are worth reading.

I'm also a huge fan of David Perlmutter's Grain Brain, which talks about the link between carbs and the brain and brain disease and imho is really worth a read. It has a couple of follow up books too (Brain Maker about the vital role that gut flora plays and Grain Brain Cookbook).

Since embarking on my nutritional journey, I discovered I have a gluten allergy (explains all those times I fell asleep at the wheel after eating a sandwich). I cut out grains for the most part and eat primarily protein and veg, very little sugar, definitely no refined sugar.
My mood is better and more consistent, brain fog is gone, weight is easier to maintain, and I have more lasting energy.

It's unfortunate that institutions like the FDA and AHA (who are backed by industrial farming corps) hammered the American public with the lie of the one-size-fits-all Food Pyramid and low-fat, "heart-healthy" diets & that the word "diet" carries a connotation of weight-loss instead of health.

Our generation is paying for it with our health.

Sublingual tablets have been shown to be more effective in a few studies, although the overall evidence is mixed. Some people do better with the cyano form and others prefer the methyl form. If you do take the methyl form, shoot for a much larger dose since that is what has the most support in the literature. The daily cyano dose can be just a few dozen mcg, but for the methyl shoot for 500-2000 mcg. Sublingual pills are available everywhere. Here are Labdoor's rankings. I like their top value choice, the Twinlab B12 Dots. They have a mild taste, dissolve pretty quick in the mouth, and are super cheap (5 cents a day). If you people prefer the methyl form, I would recommend the Jarrow option. It also dissolves well and has a decent flavor, but is slightly pricier (8 cents a day).

I have Prescription for Nutritional Healing and Staying Healthy with Nutrition which I'll use as references for basic nutrition. The second one comes off a bit too hippy-ish for me sometimes (they state one of the most important water-soluble vitamins is Vitamin L, aka 'love') however all-in-all it's a pretty solid resource for understanding the essentials. The book begins with a discussion on water, which I think is great as H2O is often left out.

I'm also particularly interested in sport nutrition, so I have also picked up Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. I like glossing over the reference textbooks, then switching to Nancy's book to get her 'sports coach' perspective.

The good news is you're young and healthy enough to avoid health complications the Standard Ameican Diet causes. I highly recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Starch-Solution-Regain-Health/dp/1623360277/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414563015&sr=8-1&keywords=starch+solution

I was over weight, high blood pressure and approaching forty. 2.5 years later my bp is normal, weight is awesome, and have ideal blood test results. This diet/lifestyle is easy, fun, satisfying, and cheap. Do yourself a favor and watch some of his lectures on youtube.

From the reading and research I've done, getting grass-fed protein is a waste of money.
http://www.seannal.com/articles/supplementation/organic-grassfed-whey-protein-powder.php

If you want to stay whey, Optinum Nutrition is going to give you the best bang for your. They are consistently voted the best protein by bodybuilder.com. I enjoy the Double Chocolate, but I hear good things about Vanilla.
http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Double-Chocolate/dp/B000QSNYGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426785244&sr=8-1&keywords=optimum+nutrition

I've been using MuscleMed Carnivor the past 6 months, its a beef protein isolate and I really like it. The chocolate has a great flavor and I drink it with just water.
http://www.amazon.com/Musclemeds-Carnivor-Chocolate-4-6-Pounds/dp/B004HY325K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426785309&sr=8-1&keywords=musclemeds+carnivor

what are you using the protein for? Meal replacement or as a post-workout supplement? If you're trying to get more protein in your diet, your much better off trying to get through whole unprocessed foods.

Really doesn't matter much really; a lot of people (me included) like Optimum Nutrition brand; their Gold line is fairly reasonable and tastes good. ON Gold Whey

You can get caught up in the minutia with this stuff, but it's really just to supplement the rest of your diet. I usually have 1 protein shake a day and try to get the rest from my foods; if I am short I will have another protein shake at night.

I am not a heavy lifter; I usually stick to around 200 pounds for 4 sets as my normal weight to maintain. Legs are about 220 or 30 for the same amount of sets.

If your coming from an injury make sure you have that entire muscle group well rehabed. My wife had the same surgery as you a while back and had to take it pretty slow before she actually was able to do weights on it.

Some other healthy snacks that I like;

Pretzels and yogurt, plain tuna with celery, protein type cereal like special k protein, 12 Grain bread with peanut butter (careful as these are dense calories), Salsa with some wheat pita chips; theres endless choices just a matter of if you like them :)

Sure, gladly. First of all, I don't really believe any thing, I just know I don't know much right now, and am game to give things a fair shot. This one seems to be helping me.

It's got a long history, but I'll keep it short here. I am following the diet as written in "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottchall. Her theory, simplified, is that the SCD works by limiting the diet to monosaccharides that are digested prior to the small intestine.

I was convinced to try it after finding this brand new book by a seated Professor of GI at the University of Washington and a working Pediatric GI at Seattle Children's. He doesn't bother trying to do any deciphering of the why, just gives his reasons for recommending it to his IBD patients, and how to succeed with it. It's a great resource.

Rather than try to give you a food overview, here's the legal/illegal list from the original author's website.

Let me know if you need other resources.

> My view is that bagels can be a healthy part of a balanced diet. Yes, they're relatively high in carbs, but you just have to eat low carb for the rest of the day and it's fine.

Plz educate yourself. It's difficult to know where to start explaining it when you display that what you know about nutrition is just the popular opinions of uneducated marketers.

"Bagel" doesn't really say much. Were eggs used? Does it have added high fructose corn syrup? It depends. And carbs are not bad. Seriously I recommend learning about what the science says about food or you're gonna get scammed all your life.

You can find these books online for free if you don't have the money as well. They have some clinical data and information which will help you understand what's healthy. You don't have to read all of it, but I highly suggest looking in that direction.

I feel the "abs are made in the kitchen" mantra does not apply to me.

​

I've been unable to weight train or exercise meaningfully for 2 months because I'm recovering from a slipped disc in my back. That said, I walk / hike / lightly cycle all of the time — about 3x per week. I weigh about 178 lbs at 5'11. I have decent muscle mass, but plenty of average bodyfat distributed around my upper torso.

Yet... my diet is impeccable, or so I thought. Maybe I'm totally off-base, or it's just not working for me... but I just don't seem to shed body fat. It seems like my body vigorously holds onto it even while my muscles decline.

I essentially intermittently fast. I only eat between the hours of 4—8 PM, typically one large meal with some bits around it. Here is my diet.

​

• I eat zero processed food. No grains, no bread. I do eat rice. I've stopped eating potatoes and sweet potatoes (always gives me gas).
  
• I purchase only 95% organic ingredients from Whole Foods near my house.
  
• I only use organic extra virgin olive oil to cook with, as well as organic ghee. I do not cook with butter.
  
• The only spices I use are: salt, pepper, turmeric, chili powder, garlic, minced onions, vindaloo.
  
  ​
  
  
• Every single day I eat a full serving of sauteed organic leafy greens, I rotate between stuff like https://www.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Spring/dp/B074H57S5G and the Super Greens, or spinach/arugula blends, etc. All I do is cook them with olive oil or ghee for a few minutes.
  
• I always additionally cook some bok choy, scallions, or asparagus.
  
• I always have about 3 pasture raised chicken eggs, scrambled with salt and pepper.
  
• I always have an additional organic grass-fed protein from a great local farmers market. Either ground beef, ground pork, lamb chop, etc. I also sometimes have these frozen patties from Tribali which range from chicken to beef: https://tribalifoods.com/
  
• I sprinkle in some organic sesame seeds for texture.
  
• Some days I'll cook 1 serving of white rice on the side.
  
  ​
  
  I typically then have a few little snacks around the meal, depends on the day. Sometimes I'll crack open a young coconut and eat the meat. Other times I'll eat those Oven Baked cheese snacks from Trader Joes which are high in protein (https://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/4847). I usually have a few bites of 85% or even 90% dark cacoa/chocolate.
  
  I mean... this is pretty lean, I'd say. I really try to emphasize leafy greens and quality proteins.
  
  But I just don't... have abs. I've been eating like this for at least 3 months. What am I doing wrong?

I've been using carbamide peroxide kits (comes with the gel and trays w/ a LED light)- it works pretty well. I believe the ratio of carbamide peroxide to hydrogen peroxide is 3:1, if your teeth or gums are sensitive you might be best off w/ a 22%cp-7%hp kit. The one I buy (35% cp) comes with a scale of teeth shades to show the effects the kit has on whitening. In the last week or two my teeth have jumped a few levels on that scale, so I would say it's pretty effective for the price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWRLH5V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's the one I use and it's lasted me about 6 days (1/2 syringe applied directly to teeth per session). I've been doing a 30 minute session every other day. The results are better when you don't drink coffee/wine/tea or smoke but it might be worth pursuing if your teeth are really shot lol.

If you have 300-400$ for a professional dental cleaning, that is obviously your best bet. I wouldn't use lemon juice on your teeth at all, it is very acidic and bad for your enamel. Baking soda can effectively be used occasionally but it, like charcoal are abrasive and damaging to your teeth over extended periods of time.

This is published by the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, I don't have a copy of it but I would trust something put out by them to be evidenced based and scientifically sound. It seems like its written for the average public.

ISBN-13: 978-0321910394

This is my freshman year nutrition text book. It wasn't terribly complicated to read and I think a 'layperson' would be able to get a lot of useful information out of it.

Hope this helps

To have fun while learning, try The Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. I also like Prescription for Nutritional Healing for a reference.

I prefer to see studies backing claims. Maybe not everything below is relevant, but here are some places I like to read online, too: Examine.com, Stronger By Science (mostly strength training studies), Strength Sensei (Charles Poliquin is an Olympic strength coach and knowledgable in nutrition), Suppversity, ss.fitness

I had to take a nutrition prereq for college and loved it so much I got a nutrition minor. I love and kept all my books for it. And I have plenty supplemental books as well. Here are some of my favorites.

Science of Nutrition

Nutrition Through the Life Cycle

Nutritional Healing

Medical Nutrition Therapy

I read the Barry Groves link. So you really buy into that? Gorilla eats leaves and somehow he twists that to meaning they eat a high fat diet? That goes against common sense. His website had it's HON code certification marked invalid. I can see why.

Please read this and comment if you have time:

http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/diet-myths-the-misinformation-of-barry-groves-and-weston-price.html

Again, I quote from the JACN, ""Regardless of the diversity in scientific approach, evidence converges around the notion that diets associated with reduced risk of CVD, some cancers, diabetes, and several other chronic diseases are heavy in vegetables and fruit (therefore rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants) but reduced in meat, refined grains, saturated fat, sugar, salt, and full-fat dairy products."

How can you refute that? I urge you and anyone else who follows the Weston A Price diet to stop reading the Masterjohn, Minger, and other Paelo authors and get a different perspective from Esselytn, Fuhrman, McDougall :

http://www.amazon.com/Prevent-Reverse-Heart-Disease-Nutrition-Based/dp/1583333002/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322838099&sr=8-2

Sincerely, good luck with your diet and your health. I don't think we're going to change each other's minds on this but I enjoy the debate.

Okay, fuck lifestyle changes. Forget that. I'm going to make this super easy for you - as easy as possible - and you should be seeing pounds within a week or two. Go out and buy his favorite meats. Buy them all, and plenty of them. Ground beef, chicken, steak, pork, lamb, fish, sausage, I don't even care. Then, order this. It works. It has over 1200 calories per serving, with 250g carbs and 50g protein.

Try and have him eating throughout the day, but at a minimum, make sure he consumes 1/2 serving of Serious Mass three times daily. This isn't some pseudo-scientific supplement industry bullshit. It's just a shit ton of calories, coming mostly from carbs. Buy it in his favorite flavor, and just make him choke it down. I love Optimum Nutrition's protein shakes, they're delicious, so I imagine this isn't bad tasting at all either.

You're basically shoveling calories down the guy for the sake of shoveling calories. It gets no easier than this. Good luck.

You will probably get dietary fatigue sooner or later. Biggest Con off the top of my head. Happens to POWs and prisoners fed the same thing over and over. Eventually you just stop eating. Although there's a girl in the UK whose lived on nothing but Ramen for like 10 years so I guess it's possible to avoid dietary fatigue. There are other people who live on Soylent meal replacements too for months at a time so it's possible.

Why not order a meal plan like Nutrisystem or Medifast? $300 a month which will come out cheaper than living on bars. No cooking required. Grab a box, rip it open and eat it.

You could also use mass gainers as meal replacements. Would be cheaper than living on energy bars. Energy bars aren't very calorie dense. You'd have to eat like 6 or 10 a day or more. Most are at least $1.50 each so that's $10 a day minimum. Probably double or triple that. Mass gainer would be $5 a day. Or do half bars and half mass gainers.

https://www.amazon.com/OPTIMUM-NUTRITION-Serious-Protein-Chocolate/dp/B000GIPJ0M

It would be much much cheaper to just make your own bars though. Super easy. Just mix all the crap together in a giant bowl and form into bars. You could make enough for a month at a time, or more. Fill up your fridge and freezer with them :D Some don't even require cooking and they last at least 6months, years if frozen.

I highly recommend the book "It starts with food". It really give some great insight as to why we shouldnt eat certain foods and it changed the way I view food forever. It will definitely get you going in the right direction and from there I'm sure others will give you other resources.

hey, check out this ebook for great protein treat recipe ideas:

It Starts with Food is a great start. It is written so you can scan the individual sections or read more in depth if you would like. I highly recommend it.

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-china-study-revisited/

> The China Study was embraced by vegetarians because it seemed to support their beliefs with strong evidence. Minger has shown that that evidence is largely illusory. The issues raised are important and deserve further study by unbiased scientists. At any rate, one thing is clear: the China Study is not sufficient reason to recommend drastic reductions in protein intake, let alone total avoidance of meat and dairy foods.

Also check this one: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Food-Pyramid-Politics-Interests/dp/0984755128

The food pyramid. I recommend the book Death by Food Pyramid, it gives fascinating account of the how the first food pyramid was originally conceived and how it was tampered with by bureaucrats, politicians and lobbyists.

>I come from software development

Me too. If you're just coming into nutrition then what you need are the "first principles" of nutrition in a concise form. I'll highly recommend Denise Minger's Death by Food Pyramid as an extremely informative and enjoyable read that separates science from pseudo-science.

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating might be what you're looking for! Written for regular people and just science-y enough.

While it is good to incorporate ground flax seeds into your diet, they are not a good source of DHA.

There are several vegan DHA supplements available, probably derived from whatever plant life is at the bottom of the fishy food chain.

Maybe you have heard about lowcarb diets. They kind of resume what I said and I believe is the healthiest diet
