25.01.2022 But what about healthy fats? So what's the deal with (C18:3w3) alpha-linolenic acid. Affectionately known as Omega 3. You may have heard that our Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio is too high which has everyone scrambling to take an Omega 3 supplement to right the wrong. ... Here's the thing. The problem is NOT insufficient Omega 3, the problem is too much Omega 6. Where do you get Omega 6? The main source is vegetable oils in bread, cakes, fried foods, biscuits, I think you see where this is heading. So worry less about getting enough Omega 3 and more about consuming less Omega 6. You meet your Omega 3 requirements with 28g walnuts, 1T flax or chia, 2T hemp seeds. #fernwoodcannington #shinechallenge #planthianutrition

21.01.2022 Now that I'm growing the sprouts, time to eat them!

20.01.2022 Breakfast of champions. Wilted kale with balsamic vinegar to boost the nitric oxide. Brown rice.... Scrambled tofu with turmeric and black pepper of course. A bit of black salt for eggy taste. Air fryed oyster mushrooms courtesy of my neighbour.

16.01.2022 Don't drink milk and worried about your calcium? Worry not. Firm tofu has more calcium than dairy and sardines. Soy milk and soy yoghurt has the same calcium as the dairy version. ... Bonus to non dairy sources, no cholesterol. #fernwoodcannington #shinechallenge #planthianutrition

02.01.2022 A really strange thing happens when you change your diet, especially if you reduce or quit meat. As your friend munches on their fried chicken and chips and you choose a chickpea salad, they suddenly get concerned about your nutrient intake. 'But where do you get your protein?' they gasp to which you respond 'where do you get your short chain fatty acids required for optimal gut health to control inflammation and help the serotonin to boost your mood among other things?' So..., let's talk protein. It's accurately measure via nitrogen output. The science of how it's measured may have changed and updated but the results have been consistent since the 1940's. We need 0.5g of protein for every kilo of LEAN body weight. LEAN body weight is the weight you should be if you didn't have any fat. Anyway, as we know, people vary right. So they adjusted it to 3 standard deviations which covers 99.7% of the population. So with the adjustment which includes virtually everyone, we need 0.8g per kilo. Example, if you weighed 50kg, lean, you would require 40g of protein per day. This is a far cry from the protein obsessed market, trying to sell you supplements or convince you that you need to eat more meat, insisting that you need 100g + or protein a day. But I'm an elite athlete I hear you scream. Are you though? Are you really? In that case you will naturally need more calories and with more calories, comes more protein. We'll get to quality protein another day. #fernwoodcannington #shinechallenge #planthianutrition
