Intolerant as in semi allergic?

Most likely an intolerance rather than an allergic reaction. An intolerance will be more likely be something like a digestive issue, where as an allergic reaction is an immune response which could affect organ function for example. Food allergies are significantly less common than food intolerances. Every person has food intolerances of some kind.

in simple terms?

If it's loaded in saturated fat or polluted by hormones then forget it. Food integrity > individual food choices e.g. a lean piece of organic beef is a far better choice than a cheap, 'value' pack of bottom grade chicken breasts.

Low Glycemic foods, ones that exhibit a smaller, less harmful fluctuation in your blood glucose. Better for your mood, weight loss and a million and one other hormone functions. So, oats, quinoa, buckwheat, lentils are just some examples.

Monounsaturated fats e.g. olive oil (never buy low grade oils).

Polyunsaturated fats e.g. nuts and seeds.

Essential fats e.g. http://www.nahanniriverherbs.com/186

Isn't hormone treated meat banned here? I know that the EU ban hormone treated beef from being imported from the States...

If it's loaded in saturated fat forget it.

The saturated fats in meats, butter, egg yolk and some plant oils such as coconut oil are very good for us.

The fear of sat fats is born out of Ancel Keys, 'Lipid Hypothesis', his study began in the 50's and was designed to find a correlation between dietry saturated fats, blood cholesterol and heart disease, it's clear now that the study was flawed, only data from seven countries was included in the results which eventually became the basis of the lipid hypothesis and which shapes todays fear of dietry saturated fats. Keys had collected and correlated information from 15 other countries but the results didn't tie in with his theories so it was dumped.

Countries such as Norway and Holland were found to have very high dietry saturated fat consumption but very low incidence of heart disease, then countries such as Chile where sat fat consumption was very low, yet incidence of heart disease was high. All of this data was dumped as it didn't support Keys theory.

Not sure about an egg in a shell!

There's nothing wrong with fruit when losing weight. For many people it's a perfect substitute for chocolate bars, crisps or whatever other crap they used to put in their face multiple times a day.

Yes, fruit is naturally sugary, but some here are putting them on par with refined sugars when it's actually a world of difference.

Ditto carbs. Some good, slow release carbs in the morning is just as good as a protein blast. Weetabix and a banana will not make you fat, FFS.

Case in point, my wife lost 4 stone + in a year, and not an hour goes by that she isn't feeding some form of fruit down her gullet.

No one said fruit makes you fat, what I said is that it won't help you lose weight, which is true and no one can say any differently. Sugar is sugar at the end of the day.

Is it ok eating eggs every day though?

Yes

Fact is, it will -- if your eating habits are already bad enough. When attempting to shift weight, switching your usual junk food "treats" for fruit is a major step in the right direction.

This whole thread, you've been telling people that fruit is unhealthy. It isn't.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

there is so much crap been posted in this thread i dont know where to start.

first of all if your trying to lose weight, i suggest you change breakfast, lunch and dinner and all snacks, not just breakfast. also going to the gym or playing a decent sport would help a lot (minimum of 3 times a week). also if you drink alcohol stopping for at least 6 months would make a huge difference.

porridge is one of the best things you can eat (someone said it was refined carbs).

fruit is high in sugar (which is bad). doesnt matter about the vitamins, its too high in sugar same goes for fruit juice.

sauces are high in sugar (which is bad)

someone mentioned muller rice, are you kidding me? its like 13% sugar

someone also mentioned something about boosting metabolism, etc. you should be eating early, or some certain types of food, that is all wrong as well. too much to explain but look at "lean gains" (google it).

a typical day should look like this if you want to eat as healthy as possible.

breakfast at 8 am

porridge
pint of water

10am - pint of water

lunch at noon

brown rice and boiled chicken and steamed veg
pint of water

3pm snack - handful of nuts (any type and a small portion) and a pint of water

6pm dinner

brown pasta with boiled chicken and steamed veg
pint of water



between dinner and breakfast the only thing your allowed to eat/drink is water, nothing else.

basically you want to keep sugar to zero, get all your carbs from good sources like porridge, brown rice/pasta. protein from lean sources like boiled chicken and your vits and minerals and fibres from steamed veg.

healthy food is extremely bland and boring, the people with the best diets on the planet are professional bodybuilders, they are worlds best nutrition experts, they have to be. they know more than any doctor or fitness model/trainer knows. how else do they get to 6-8% bodyfat.

just in case your wondering abs (6 pack) start showing at around 12-15% body fat and is extremely hard to get to, never mind 6-8%. as you get lower the tougher it gets.

if you want some serious advice i suggest you make a thread in sports arena.

when it comes to weight loss, sugar from a chocolate fudge cake drenched in toffee sauce is the exact same as sugar from fruit.

if your wife lost that much weight, its probably due to something else. not that she started eating fruit instead.

sugar has a great effect on insulin levels, etc.

basically its bad, if you want to know more, read threads in sports arena. or post in there.

And you base your "facts" on what exactly? That sugar from fruit is magically different and doesn't cause insulin spikes? That the vitamins in fruit are any different from the vitamins in vegetables?

Okay, suddenly fruit is unhealthy. Sorry, I'll change my entire worldview. Thanks for that.

My FACTS are based on real-world experience. Nothing more.

That's cool -- you can tell that fat person that they might as well eat a slice of cake instead of an apple. Sugar's all the same.

We're not talking about body builders here -- of COURSE they're going to factor every little thing in here and get the ultimate max out of their diet. It's what they need to do. But for the everyday person it's completely irresponsible to say that fruit is a bad thing.

 

[Pestilence]

It's due to a massive change in diet overall, but part of that change was her adaption to fruit rather than other crap for snacks/craving fillers. Quite literally, not an hour goes by without an apple/pear/orange/melon/whatever in her gub. Has it worked? Hell yeah it has.

EDIT: She's just chimed in on it saying that in an "average" day, she eats about 4 apples, 2 pears, a banana, and a bowl of rasperries as dessert at dinner. Daily.

And nope, she isn't some metabolic wonder.

Get real.

that amount of sugar is bad for her. seriously she could get/have diabetes. i would get her to ask her GP for a blood test.

you dont know the effects on the body and how the whole system works. she wants to be keeping her blood sugar levels low and sustained, not causing huge spikes by having sugary products.

when it comes to insulin, sugar from fruit is no different to sugar from a cake. seriously, i would tell her to cut the fruit down to 2 portions a day max.

eating that amount of sugar on a daily basis is going to do more harm than good, moderation is key. i have on average probably one piece of fruit a day.

its impossible to have a 100% clean diet and sustain it, people get bored, they like stuff which tastes good. the reason why most fruits taste good is because of the sugar involved.

regulating insulin levels is a key part of being a healthy individual. seriously she should get a blood test done. looking for diabetes specifically but a full work up just to cover any other bases. fruit isnt as good as what people think it is, its got its bad points too.

just like oil/fat they have their good and bad points too, as do carbs, as does everything. you need to know which things you need and in what amounts. sugar is not needed.
