The Calorie Lie An article from The Poliquin Group - visit main.poliquingroup.com
There are many harmful nutrition myths sabotaging our health and fat loss, but the belief that all calories are created equal is especially ridiculous because it ignores a mountain of evidence showing otherwise. The calorie myth relies on a drastic oversimplification of how calories are used by the body. Foods higher in protein require the body to burn a lot more calories after you eat them than those composed of carbohydrates. Similarly, foods high in fibre result in a lower proportion of the calories being absorbed by the body than those low in fibre. Most surprisingly, some fats, which are highest in calories per unit of all food types at 9 calories per
gram, actually stimulate the burning of calories. Omega-3 fats enhance the activity of something called uncoupling proteins, which leads to excess calories being burned by raising body temperature. In addition, the average human who is counting calories grossly underestimates the amount of calories they eat every day. Not only do they think they eat less energy than they do, when asked to do a food journal most people under-record food intake by more than 500 calories, indicating an inability to consciously acknowledge energy intake. A calorie approach to fat loss isn’t very useful at its best. At its worst, it can be drastically counter-productive, while damaging your health and making you miserable!
Here are two of Poliquin’s top tips to help you optimise body composition and health... 1. Favour High-Quality Protein For Reduced Hunger & Greater “Calories Out” De-emphasizing carbs and favouring high-quality protein is a simple way to increase the calories you burn, while reducing the calories you eat without feeling hungry. 2. Avoid Foods that Trigger Greater Food Intake: Sugary Carbs & Processed Fat Eating in real-life is often more dynamic and hunger is influenced by more than just the proportion of macros eaten.

How does the Ellipse SWT laser hair removal treatment work? To achieve long lasting or permanent hair removal, it is necessary to destroy the hair follicle from which individual hairs grow. Controlled pulses of light penetrate the epidermis and are absorbed by melanin in the hair contained in the follicle. Hair Removal DiagramMelanin converts the light energy into heat. This heat is transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed, making it unable to produce a new hair. Hair in the resting (telogen stage) are treated later. The treatment is only effective on growing hairs as these are still attached to the follicle. This technique is called “Selective Photothermolysis”. The visible light produced by Ellipse I²PL systems is carefully controlled to ensure the correct pulse length, wavelengths and right amount of energy to destroy the follicle. Ellipse professional hair removal equipment is suitable for all body areas including arms, underarms, back, chest, bikini line, brazilian as well as legs. This treatment offers painless permanent hair reduction delivering smooth skin for both male and females. The results and effects of this method of treatment can be seen after just one treatment. Ellipse permanent hair reduction offers peer reviewed clinical studies that makes opting for Ellipse SWT™/Laser hair removal a really easy decision.

What are supplements? Dietary supplements are substances you eat or drink. They can be vitamins, minerals, herbs or other plants, protein, amino acids (the individual building blocks of protein), or parts of these substances. They can be in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form. By 2018 the dietary supplement industry is forecast to be worth £471m in the UK alone. So what is the fuss all about? What different types of supplements are out there? - Protein (Whey Protein powder/shakes) - Fat (Omega 3,6,9 tablets) - Carbohydrates (Waxy Maize powder/shake) - Minerals (ZMA, Calcium tablets) - Vitamins (Vit A,B,C,D tablets or multi-vit tablets) - Weight-training (Steroids, Creatine, Pre-workout) - Weight-Loss (Fat burners / Thermobol) losing lbs or losing £’s? Can supplements benefit you? Scientific evidence shows that some dietary supplements are beneficial for overall health and for
The Truth About Supplements Come along to our FREE seminar! Thursday 28th April 7:00pm managing some health conditions. For example, calcium and vitamin D are important for keeping bones strong and reducing bone loss; folic acid decreases the risk of certain birth defects; and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils might help some people with heart disease (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services). Can supplement use cause any adverse health issues? Getting our nutrients straight from a pill sounds easy, but supplements don’t necessarily deliver on the promise of better health. Some can even be dangerous, especially when taken in largerthan-recommended amounts (Harvard Medical School). Weighttraining supplements are a completely different kettle of fish! These come with
much more of a health risk and can potentially be very dangerous. Do I need supplements? Doctors and research will suggest that it’s possible to get all of the nutrients you need by eating a variety of healthy foods. If you don’t eat a nutritious variety of foods, some supplements might help you get adequate amounts of essential nutrients. However, supplements can’t take the place of the variety of foods that are important to a healthy diet. The quality of the supplements is crucial as dietary supplements are very complex products. The FDA has established quality standards for dietary supplements to help ensure their identity, purity, strength, and composition. Book your place at our FREE seminar today! Non-members welcome.
