Diet Sin #1: EVEN Fewer Micronutrients People do not get enough vitamins, minerals, antioxidants. They’re not even close on protein. I have completed well over 10,000 intakes; and even among some of the best of the best, people were on the edge of inadequacy. Most of the food we have is derived from depleted soil; and then we add to that an additional layer of depletion for shelf stability. There is almost zero nutrition in what most people call food. Of course, as people diet, they eat even less. Well, they were already eating too little of several nutrients. Now they’re getting fewer while often more active. They OUGHT to feel hungrier, more tired, and more cravings. I’ve harped on protein before. Today, let’s look at choline. Egg yolks are the choline superfood. People who do keto dieting with a lot of yolks do not get hungry. If they salt the food heavily, paradoxically they get perfect blood pressure and feel great. That’s not a fit for everyone. But, given that choline is the precursor to our central neurotransmitter (acetylCHOLINE), it would be wise to contemplate supplementing choline every day that you are struggling with hunger and cravings. The model exists in the literature during rapid weight loss among martial arts athletes: https://lnkd.in/dm7Q5NqU It’s well tolerated. It’s easy. It’s cheap. Moreover, you have to ask yourself, “why would I need any more calories?”, when you’re struggling with hunger or desire for food. When you are yearning to get some food in the body, it makes precisely NO SENSE from a caloric model. Your body has between 50,000 and a few million readily-accessible stored calories within it. You don’t need any more energy from food. If you have only five pounds to lose, you don’t need any more energy from food as a grown adult for a month or so. If there are one to two zeroes behind that weight loss goal, you can stop talking about caloric need for a year or so. You may need building blocks (protein) to heal. You do need micronutrients to run metabolic processes. But you absolutely do not need more energy. So you must confront yourself and remind yourself that that message is an error, but likely one built upon a need for actual nutrients, not energy. Rather than getting even less micronutrient intake than your already-inadequate one, consider getting MORE. And think about trying choline.

Today we complete 7 years of Steadfast Nutrition! Back in 2014 while I was doing competitive mountain bike races and cross country duathlons, i realised that we lack good equipment, nutrition and coaching in numerous sports in India. I took it up as a challenge that we need to fix this, started with 3+ years of research on the sports nutrition globally versus Indian sub-continent and how we can have access to best of nutrition supplements to enhance performance while keeping the organ health intact, this was the base of Steadfast Nutrition and on 25th September 2017 we finally launched with two unique formulations. Today we complete 7 years, this has been very special to me, have worked relentlessly to beat the odds, today we sell in more than 500 outlets, 8+ verified market places, and we have hundreds of success stories to share. Our athletes have consumed and brought glory to the country be it playing in the Olympics, Common Wealth Games, Asian or National Championships in numerous sports or in the Bodybuilding Championships in India and abroad. Our wellness range has changed lives of people, giving a holistic well-being from immunity boosters to nootropics to daily essentials, today we have 42+ formulations and 180+ SKUs to choose the right fit including the complimentary athleisure and accessories range along with nutritional supplements. We are the only brand having 11+ protein formulations and we have not yet started with plant protein projects. We have stood by our promise to only make products which are organ friendly for lifetime usage, no shortcuts no compromises in product development is the base foundation of Steadfast. We might not be the tastiest brand of protein but we are a 100% clean labeled, quality conscious and organ health oriented nutrition supplement brand in the market, we are one of the most expensive brand in the market due to stringent quality checks and our approach has been valued by our customers who prefer quality over quantity. In coming years, we expand our reach to Tier 2 Tier 3 cities and towns, making supplements available to younger generations and increasing the awareness about health in general and wellbeing among the youth. Our ESG team is working relentless to cut down carbon footprint and reduce plastic usage, in coming years we would like to become a carbon neutral brand for sure as we have already initiated the process. Our team has been the strength for the success journey of Steadfast Nutrition and so is our business partners who have sold our products coming in single serve sachets over bulky boxes which use more plastic and attracts hygiene, adulteration and duplication issues which was another trigger point to start Steadfast Nutrition with Scoopless Single Serve Sachets for powder formulations. All this due to 7000+ doctors trust on Steadfast. There is so much more to share on this occasion, we shall only become a better version of what we are today, till then, Be Steadfast!

The Satter Eating Competence Model practices nutritional judo: It goes with the desire to eat as much as we want of food we genuinely enjoy, rather than struggling against it. Judo means “the way of gentleness,” and is an orderly and positive method for trusting and making use of one’s own power: one’s own drives. This month’s Family Meals Focus discusses how trusting our biopsychosocial drives allows us to learn and grow with eating—and with nutrition. https://lnkd.in/gebzKsfZ
