Going organic… Is it worth it? 🌱 Absolutely not🫢 This one’s gonna make some people mad… But it’s the truth There’s this thing called “The Health Halo Effect” This is when people tend to overestimate the “health” of an item based on a single claim, such as being low in calories or low in fat, organic, natural, etc. But this belief usually comes from marketing, and not the food itself Marketer’s know that when you poll people, the vast majority just belive that organic food is healthier, safer, and better for the environment (without really knowing why) But every single one of these statements is just blatantly false. 1st: There is no meaningful difference between the nutritional content of organic compared to non-organic foods And yes, this has been tested, over, and over, and over (and over), again (studies linked below) 2nd: Over 100 fertilizers/pesticides/insecticides are approved and used on organic crops - both natural AND synthetic And “natural” ≠ better either And a lot of the time, the “natural” pesticides aren’t as effective, so a LOT more has to be used to get the same job done 3rd: Organic farming isn’t better, and is often actually worse for the environment The main factors are that it’s less efficient, and takes up to 40% more land Organic food isn’t safer, better for the environment, or better for you than non-organic foods.

How do you “fix” skinny-fat? “Skinny-fat” is confusing Because the more weight you try and lose… The worse the problem seems to get? But that’s usually because people are trying to solve the wrong problem💡 Skinny-fat doesn’t usually come from having *too much* body fat… It’s that there’s not enough lean muscle *underneath* that fat to give a leaner, more defined, tone look So if you keep increasing your cardio… And decreasing how much you eat… You’re only going to be moving further away from solving the right problem Instead focus on building lean muscle by lifting heavy weights 3-5x per week (no, it won’t make you bulky, I promise) And eating more of the right foods, especially when it comes to protein I have a free calorie and protein calculator in my bio if you want to find out an accurate estimate for where you should probably be👍🏽 But remember, every human body is different So the exact solution for you might need some tweaks, but this should get you going in the right direction And to be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with the way this looks, and how someone looks is neither good or bad, this video is just here to help people looking to change their physique when they are faced with this problem🫶🏽 #skinnyfat #cardio #fittok #healthy #absworkout

I’m going to crumbl, who wants something? Fun video, but unfortunately not how your metabolism works (not even close 🙃) Because you actually burn most of your calories in places that AREN’T working out A better example for what it would take to burn off a crumbl cookie: Getting 8 hours of sleep 😴 Playing video games for a few hours 🎮 Hitting a 10k step goal for the day 🚶🏽‍♂️ Get the point? The goal of exercise is not to burn calories But to help build up your metabolism as a whole Because although weight loss does come down to calories in vs. calories out… There are other ways to increase how many calories you’re burning throughout the day Hope this helps 🤘🏽 #fittkok #gymtok #cardio #running #fitness

Bloating 101 ➡️ No, that supplement some influencer sold you isn’t going to fix your bloating😓 (cough cough Bloom Greens… AG1… L-Glutamine…) Bloating is simply considered when you feel increased abdominal pressure, swelling, tightness, or fullness And it can come from a LOT of different places Like your diet or lifestyle causing: - Constipation or gas - Fluid retention - Or legitimate digestive disorders (IBS, Celiac Disease, etc.) If your bloating comes from legitmate digestive disorders… See a doctor If they don’t (which is more common), look at your diet and lifestyle 🌱🏃🏽‍♂️ These are usually the 3 best actions you can take to make the biggest difference Do them consistently for 30 days, and watch how much of your problem dissapears 🪄 *Note on fiber: Changing daily fiber intake too much and quickly can cause just as many problems Example: If you average 5-10g of fiber per day (not uncommon) And you all of the sudden jump to 35g+, you might see constipation, bloating, discomfort, or more It’s usaully best to slowly increase intake 5-10g every week or so to adjust #bloating #bloomnutrition #bloompartner #healthy#healthy (Lol not affiliated with blook nutrition, just hashtagged to poke them) Sources: Fiber Reccomendations: https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/
