Hi {NAME}, Fear mongering is outdated. Thatâs so 2014. Weâre in an age of authenticity, realness, rawness, and openness. So letâs just be direct with the VERY real mistakes that people make when it comes to nutrition (beginner all the way to advanced). No fear mongering or scare tactics. Just real life things we should be aware of: 1) Not Paying attention to Energy Flux: Keeping it simple, we focus so much on eating less and moving more that we forget about what is even more importantâ¦. Moving more and eating more. What? Yep, itâs called energy-flux and if you want to keep your metabolism from coming to a slowdown, you need to occasionally increase the amount of food that you eat and counter it with an increase in calories. This increases the âfluxâ of your metabolism and makes you capable of losing weight more effectively. No real strategy other than to employ this method every 4 weeks for a week or so. Increase intake but also increase output. 2) Neglecting Micronutrients With so much focus on macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats), we really do forget that all food is NOT equal. We focus on our fat intake, our protein intake, sometimes our fiber but completely neglect out minerals, our polyphenols, our vitamins, etc. These play an ASTRONOMICAL part in our weight loss and our health. Itâs foolish to let it go by the wayside. Eat WHOLESOME foods and rotate your sources. Heck take a multivitamin if you must. 3) Probiotics and Probiotic foods For literally over a millenia we have been preserving food by fermenting. Neglecting fermented milk, dairy, vegetables, etc is like putting super low-octane fuel in your car. Our microbiome is starting to become the root of so many bodies of research. Fat metabolism, glucose metabolism, aging, gene expression⦠you name it. Why miss out on SUCH low hanging fruit. A little kefir a few nights a week. A little yogurt now and then. Some fermented cabbage or kimchi. Itâs tasty and worthwhile. Also, itâs kind of silly to not take a good probiotic now and then (I donât take one every night, I take them when I make diet changes or when I am traveling, etc). Most people really do need them daily though. For a few days, here is a VERY limited 40% Off *(yes forty percent) link for SEED daily Synbiotic: [( and use code DELAUER This is the probiotic/prebiotic combination that I recommend. I am NOT big on most probiotics. Most of them are total garbage. Seed truly is different. Insanely cool technology, not to mention they put their money where their mouth is with research. This is the only place you will get a 40% off discount - you need to use code DELAUER at this link: [( You wonât regret it. I felt it within 3-4 days (sleep and mood) and I would consider myself someone that is conscious of gut health⦠so I can only imagine for someone that is making an initial change. 4) Too Much Fat Intake Sounds crazy from a low carb guy, right? Look, the thing is, fat in EXCESS stores as fat very easily. I do not care if youâre reducing carbs or not, a big mistake that people make is simply overdoing the fats. But theyâre afraid to reduce them because they think that "fat burns fat." Not the case. Fat can help prime the pump in the beginning stages of low carb. But once you are above your energy balance, fat stores very easily. So it is not bad, itâs just that once you hit the threshold, itâs easy to overdo it. Try reducing your fat intake by a concerted 10-15% for a week and see what happens. Maybe replace it with some lean protein for a week. Youâll be pleasantly surprised. 5) Not Earning Carbs Sounds like a disordered way of looking at things, eh? Hereâs the drill. Carbs are not required by our body from the diet. We make them ourselves. So donât eat them? No, eat them. Theyâre fine. But understand that the body wants to burn them and get rid of them as fuel. So if you eat carbs, treat them as gas in your tank. Moving less? Less carbs. Stressing more in the gym⦠ramp it up a bit. 6) No soluble Fiber We know fiber is good. But that doesnât mean just eating roughage from veggies. You need those soluble fibers (flax, chia, psyllium,. Inulin, onion, garlic, etc. These have way different effects on GLP-1 (satiety and glucose control) than other fibers and the longer term benefits are even more pronounced. Donât be scared away by the flax and estrogen concerns. Itâs minimal. Donât be afraid of a bit of bloating, you need to adapt. Donât avoid fiber because itâs "useless." Because itâs not. Decades of strong observational, epidemiological, and mechanistic studies do not lie. I am the first to occasionally take an anti-normal approach, sometimes even rather anti-establishment (at times). But when it comes to soluble fiber, I simply cannot deny how potent it is. Eat more of it. 7) Protein First and Protein Last Broken recordâ¦.? Yep 1g per lb of bodyweight. 1.25g per lb of bodyweight if youâre over 50. Stop freaking out about your organs and protein (unless you have cause). Worry about your muscle and your recovery and the rest falls into place. I hope this clears the air on some basic fundamentals. And thanks again to [SEED for this 40% off discount]( (good til Tuesday) code: DELAUER
