You are what you eat. 

 

In 1826, the French lawyer Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote, in Physiologie du Gout, ou Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante:

“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.”
[Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are].

 

Taking peptides while maintaining a poor diet may not effectively address underlying health issues, similar to a band-aid on a bullet wound. A balanced diet is essential for overall health and can enhance the benefits of any supplements, including peptides. 

 

 

Unintended consequences of dieting:

How restrictive eating habits can harm your health

 

It's important to approach various diet regimens pushed on social media and other online platforms with a grain of salt when considering their efficacy and potential effects on your health. There is no one-size-fits-all method of dieting, despite some people's claims that there is a “magic” weight loss cure. What functions for one person may not function for another, and some diets may even be harmful to the health of some people. While certain diets may be successful in the short term, they might not be long-term maintainable or healthy. For instance, while the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet has demonstrated short-term benefits in terms of weight loss, it can also result in elevated cholesterol levels and an increased risk of heart disease. Before starting any new diet or weight loss programme, it's crucial to speak with a healthcare provider. They may evaluate your particular dietary requirements and offer you a tailored strategy that satisfies your objectives without endangering your health.

What are macros? 

 

Macros, short for macronutrients, are the three main nutrients your body needs in large amounts: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. They provide energy and play essential roles in maintaining your body's structure and functions.

 

To calculate macros, first determine your daily calorie needs using your age, weight, height, and activity level. Then, decide on a macronutrient ratio based on your goals, typically around 45-65% carbohydrates, 20-35% fats, and 10-35% proteins, and calculate the grams of each macro by dividing the calorie amounts by their respective calorie values (4 calories per gram for carbs and protein, 9 calories per gram for fat).
