I am confused about nutrition

[RobinOntwikkeljezelf]

According to the guidelines of Leo's video on nutrition i follow the rules.

 

Meanwhile i am doing more research because i dont want to do things just because he said it.

 

2 things that i overlooked or that he just does not cover  :

 

-What about fried stuff? The obvious fried stuff is not healthy offcourse. But what about fries, fried in plant based oil for example.

-What about the grains. What i do now is checking the ingredients for GLUTEN and WHEAT.

 

If it doesnt contain those then i consider it as legit. 

 

For example the label says : "Whole grains" it does not say Wheaten or Gluten. Is it legit now according to leo's guidelines?

PS : Offcourse not long shelf life stiff mixed with chemicals. Im talking about those fresh sugar free bags of granola with whole grains, raisins, seeds and nuts.

I would love to have those as breakfast with almond milk but idk if i should.

 

Someone be my hero please,

 

Thanks, Robin De Muyer

Research about Whole Food Plant-Based diet.

Experts advocating this diet, says whole grains are healthy, but oils are always unhealthy.

Be cautious with flour products, because they are easy to overeat. They have a high calorie density and are easily digested because flour is grinded into a powder.

Oils are bad because no other food have higher calorie density, and it is just empty calories. There are basically no vitamins, antioxidants, minerals or fiber in oil. Oils are a culprit to overweight and obesity in the western world.

Make it a rule to eat foods only in their natural shape.

Most people don't have any issues with gluten.

Be cautious with dried fruits, nuts and seeds. They can be healthy but easy to overeat because of their high calorie density.

Plant-based milks can be okay if they are free from oils and sugar.

@Michael569 Macadamia nut oil is supposed to be a good one for up to 400 degrees, it's got a lot of saturated fat.
