Focus on Nutrition and not Just Calories

• It is not about starving but about eating well, eating right and eating regularly
• Diet, or what we eat should be planned according to activity, lifestyle, fitness levels, likes, dislikes, genetics etc.
• Diet is not Starvation.
• Wight loss is one of the wonderful side-effects of eating correctly.
• Every thing herbal is not necessarily safe. Nicotene and Marijuana are herbal too.’
• Loosing weight the healthy way. Otherwise people loose weight with jaundice, malaria, TB
• Minute we are off the diet all our weight is back and in terms of fat weight. Body composition is worse. We loose muscle and bone density. 
• Human body is designed for continuous activity
• The least we can do is 30 to 45 minutes exercise for 3 days a week
• Body works on one principle :- Use it or loose it
• Without exercise we loose our bone density and muscles and loosing it is called ageing.
• Driving a car without bothering about which fuel is put insie?
• Same as “ as long as you exercise , its ok to eat whatever you want.
• Exercise is a part of adopting a better lifestyle but it is not an alternative to eating right.
• Crash diets dangerous- As we loose weight because the lean body weight comes down while fat body weight remains same or increases. One KG Cotton and One KG Iron weigh the same but looks different.
• Weight is no indicator of fitness levels.
• Greater lean body weight (Bone and Muscles) greater is the fat burning capacity.
• Ideal fat percentages should be under 20% for men and 25% for Women
• BMI only considers weight and not the contribution of fat weight to total weight
• DXA scans tells the fat weight.
• Fat free Junk food is still a Junk
• Sweetners actually increases craving for calorie dense foods.
• Cancer more likely in people with stress, little or no exercise and whose diets are poor in nutrients but rich in calories
• Don’t replace regular meals with any  One Super Food. All foods provide us with specific Nutrients 
• Care for your Stomachs just as Heart lungs and brains
• If we want to get toned, muscular and poplar ad then we need to establish a good relationship with our stomach
• Hippocrates (460-357BC) the father of medicine-"let food be the medicine and let medicine be the food". the former part is for sick and latter for healthy.
• For the healthy, natural foods are the means of freedom from disease.
• There is hardly a health problem or natural bodily process that is not influenced in some or the other by the food we eat.
