    8 Food Habits Keeping You Unhealthy | STOP the Self Sabotage

    Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uEating is a routine, so we develop automatic subconscious habits that guide our day to day choices without us even realizing it.Today we’re gna take a look at 8 bad food habits that keep us unhealthy Before I realized these bad habits, I was getting unhealthy. When I replaced my bad food habits with good food habits, my health changed dramatically. you’re probably thinking it takes a lot of time to eat healthy and it’s a sacrifice, you can never eat anything you like. truth is I spend LESS time cooking and I enjoy my food more due to good habits being in place and dodging the bad habitsbad food habit #1 is relying on willpowerwe’ve all made new years resolutions but time goes by and we go back to old habits. we put pressure on ourselves to change but don’t set up the conditions to succeed. success is less about willpower and more about skillpower.willpower instinct: great willpower is not about fighting instincts, its about harnessing themWe can make our willpower battles easier by using leverageself-control is rooted in self-knowledgebad food habit #2: fear of standing out. eating is a cultural and social eventIt’s normal for people to notice your change of habit and ask.What if you live with people who have different habits? In some ways it strengthens the habitthe 3rd habit to kick to the curb is shopping for the advice we wana hearmost common health concerns, losing some weight, lowering cholesterol or glucose are doable with some tweaks to our lifestyleBad food habit #4 is the one-size-fits-all diet. why shouldn’t our health goals be personalized?We decide to eat xyz, then we don’t stick with it and we feel like a failure.basic principles apply to everybody. Smoking isn’t healthy for anyone and neither is a diet full of ultraprocessed foods, added salt and sugar and saturated fat. But there is a lot of wiggle roomIf your eating plan is so strict it requires u to cheat, maybe you're going too far too fast. it’s ironic that one of the main obstacles when trying to fix our eating habits is to bite off more than we can chewWho wants to lose 3lb in a month? We wana lose 30 or 40. or overhaul our entire diet overnightThe yo-yo of losing weight and putting it back is destructive. So kick the habit of choosing goals made by and for other people. 4 habits down. Bad food habit #5 is identifying with our habitsWe say things like I wana get fit but I just don’t like to exercise. I wana eat healthy but I just like junk food too much. our preferences are just habits we builtBad food habit #6 is confusing simple with easyEating healthy is simple but not easy. Fresh fruits and vegetables, easy on the processed stuff. that’s 90% of nutrition. you already know how to eat healthyBad food habit #7 is obsession with the short termthe habits you built 10y ago are still with you. losing weight is good, but it’s 1 component of health. Every healthy dietary pattern will help you move towards and maintain a healthy weight, but not every diet that helps you lose weight is healthy. what goes for weight loss, goes for the obsession with muscles and six pack abs. I see people throwing their health to the wind for the promise of bigger musclestheories that you need to load up on saturated fat or cut fiber-rich foods to get buff and lean. None of that is true, you can get fit and build muscle on a health-promoting diet with adequate protein intake and the right physical activityyou don’t need to compromise your long-term health to get short-term results so do not settle last bad food habit is minimizing the impact of food habitsWarren Buffet: chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. get started as soon as you can. you don’t need a grand new years resolution like losing 100lbs or Learn more about your ad choices.

    Does Soy cause manboobs?! Gynecomastia, Testosterone, Estrogen

    Does soy cause gynecomastia aka manboobs? Do the phytoestrogens in soy lower testosterone or cause breasts on men? A look at reported cases of soy-related gynecomastia, testosterone and estrogen levels. Gynecomastia tied to foods other than soyDoes eating soy cause manboobs?Gynecomastia can be caused by hormones. can soy also cause gynecomastia aka breasts on men?Soy contains phytoestrogens. estrogen after the female hormone. chemical structure similar to estrogenthe manboobs story took off after a case of gynecomastia in a man drinking a lot of soy milkscientists dispute the cause of gynecomastia: “not necessarily due to the phytoestrogens” in soy. it probably was related to the soy drink, when he stopped it his gynecomastia resolved. lets say it was the phytoestrogens, how common is gynecomastia tied to soy consumption? only a couple cases tying gynecomastia to soy.8y old boy with gynecomastia eating a lot of processed soy foods. soy nuggets, soy crumbles, soy chili. most reputable sources: soy is healthyBillions of people eating soy. tied to processed soy products not soy itselfif soy caused gynecomastia Japanese men would have breasts?maybe western men cant handle the phytoestrogens? Asian men dont have breasts. randomized trial: soy with or without phytoestrogens, “no changes in breast tissue”maybe only adults can handle phytoestrogens? study: children drinking soy formula vs no soy. none of the boys developed gynecomastia; "soy protein formula in early life does not seem to produce estrogen-like hormonal effects”ok so maybe eating soy doesn’t give me manboobs, but maybe it lowers my testosterone?Rats fed phytoestrogens have lower testosterone. amount of phytoestrogen that lowered testosterone was v. high compared to normal human consumptiondoes soy and phytoestrogen lower testosterone in humans?study found “No significant effect of soy protein or isoflavone (that’s the phytoestrogens) on Testosterone level”“neither soy protein nor isoflavones affect reproductive hormone concentrations in men”They looked at soy foods like tofu and soy milk, soy grits, soy flour as well as phytoestrogen supplementsoverview:“neither isoflavone supplements nor soy itself affect testosterone levels. no evidence that isoflavone affects estrogen levels in men”“isoflavones do not exert feminizing effects on men”“men can feel confident that making soy a part of their diet will not compromise their virility or reproductive health”so soy contains phytoestrogens which look like estrogen but the physiological role is differentin clinical trials phytoestrogens have no effect on many biological processes known to be affected by estrogen. in some cases they even do the opposite of estrogenit’s funny that people associate soy with gynecomastia because other foods are linked to a lot more casesgynecomastia reported in young boys in Puerto rico, meat samples with higher estrogen levels suspected outbreak in Italy with gynecomastia in very young girls and boys, poultry and beef suspected to be the cause.manboobs are a very common issue in our society but they’re not coming from soy. soy is health-promoting. edamame, tempeh, tofu. Some soymilk is ok tooif you're allergic or can't have soy, that’s ok, soy is not essential, you can have a healthy diet without soywe focused on gynecomastia today but we have a lot more soy material in the works. more detail on soy-based imitation meatsConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1530891X20433038https://www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S1530-891X(20)43301-4/fulltexthttps://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/jpem-2020-0397/htmlhttps://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/2/425/2972 Learn more about your ad choices.
