Today’s article comes from Jessica Culver. I originally met Jessica at a powerlifting competition, where she put up some incredible numbers, while weighing in at an unsuspecting 123 lbs.
As you know, I don’t publish garbage. I only allow others to post on my site when they provide true value.
The reason I allowed Jessica to share this article is because:
– She has an excellent writing style. Clear, but funny. Like me.
– She has nothing to sell.
– She deadlifts 286 friggin’ pounds.
How could I say no?
Without further ado, here’s Jessica.
Fat Loss in 1000 Words
The biggest factors (I believe) that determine the “cleanness” of a food is the quality and the source of the ingredients. Not the carbs, fat, protein or calories, although there is a time and a place for those numbers.
What makes a food healthy? It…
-is as whole as possible (non-GMO, minimally processed, OR, processed in a safe, non-destructive way)
-is free of toxins like pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, wax, artificial preservatives/colours/flavours, etc.
-provides a notable amount of nutrients and vitamins
-tastes good to you and fills you up
-supports your personal goals (fat loss, muscle building, pregnancy, hormone control, etc)
As long as it meets that criteria, it is good for you. Calories mean nothing if those criteria aren’t met (see my review for the best/worst protein bars, using the above criteria!).
