Nutrition and Metabolic Health

What you eat can have a significant impact on your metabolic health.

One of the most important things you can do for your metabolic health is to eat a well-balanced diet of whole, unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods. These foods generally require more energy to digest than their refined, processed, and nutrient-lacking counterparts, which results in sugar spikes and a higher metabolic rate.

An unbalanced diet affects the body’s insulin levels. It increases glucose levels and spikes insulin levels, causing excess glucose to be stored as fat. Unhealthy insulin levels lead to insulin resistance and a number of metabolic-related illnesses.

Nutrient Deficiency

Skipping meals, and starvation diets due to appetite-suppressing diet medications deprive your metabolism of the energy it needs and can raise cortisol levels, which slows your metabolism and leads to weight gain.

Calorie restriction can cause your body to become deficient in vitamins and minerals, disrupting your metabolism and putting you at risk of chronic disease. Eating nutrient-dense meals helps metabolic health by optimizing fat loss and helping you maintain muscle. However, the benefits of a nutritional diet go beyond metabolic health and weight management. Eating whole foods and avoiding processed ingredients help you look better, sleep better, have more energy, and experience less inflammation. So, if you want to be healthier, eating healthier is vital!

Quality Ingredients

Whole, unprocessed, farm-to-table ingredients are ideal for optimal fat loss and metabolic health. Well-chosen foods can nourish your body, prevent cravings, and promote healthy fat loss.

Many pre-cooked meals claim to be ‘healthy’ but contain low-quality, bland ingredients masked by high-calorie sauces, sodium, artificial dyes, and chemicals designed to keep you coming back for more. In the interest of your metabolic health, it’s best
to avoid these meals and create balanced dishes of protein, veggies, carbs, and healthy fats.

Make Nutrients the Main Ingredient

The most nourishing foods contain essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and phytonutrients with antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory properties to strengthen your immune system and accelerate weight loss.

Always check labels on what you buy and always visit the produce section to ensure your meals contain nutrients that benefit your whole body. Here are a few things to look for:

  • Superfood ingredients

  • No artificial additives, preservatives, dyes, or chemicals

  • Lower sodium, gluten-free, soy-free, non-GMO

  • Vitamins and amino acids
