looking for nutritarian friends

I've always considered myself a pizzatarian with tacotarian proclivities.

While I applaud the intentional eating of nutritious foods, I cannot help but wonder what the point of eating so many nutrients is, as our bodies generally can only use so many per day.

This! If I've met my micro goals for the day, there is no reason to continue eating foods containing said micros.

Why does everything have to have an -arian suffix?

You know who else worked really hard to have everything be an arian?

Hitler.

Health = Nutrients/Calories (or H= N/C for short).

In for pseudomath.

Per wiki:

A nutritarian is a person who has a preference for foods that are high in micronutrients.

The term “nutritarian” was coined by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. In his book, Eat to Live, he offers this health equation while describing the nutritarian approach to health:

Health = Nutrients/Calories (or H= N/C for short).

In other words: the more nutrients you consume per calorie, the healthier you will be.

Nutrients in the numerator (top part of the equation) include vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Since these are found in small quantities in food, they are considered to be micronutrients. Caloric sources in the denominator include the macronutrients: fat, carbohydrate, and protein. We need to meet our micronutrient needs without consuming excessive calories.

A high N/C diet is also called “nutrient-dense” or “nutrient-rich.”

In the Standard American Diet (SAD), about 6% of the total caloric intake comes from nutrient-rich foods.[citation needed]

Nutritarians eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, onions, mushrooms, whole grains, beans, and berries, and particularly consume leafy greens, which are the most nutrient-dense foods. A nutritarian strives to consume at least 90% of their diet from these foods.

A nutritarian diet will lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even such conditions as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.[citation needed]

Nutritarians do not necessarily exclude animal products. Many nutritarians do choose to be vegan (excluding all animal products). Many vegetarians, however, are not nutritarian, if they frequently consume products containing processed grains, oils, sugars, or salt.

It takes a bit of education to become a nutritarian. One must learn the relative nutrient density of various foods. For instance, many people are surprised to learn that bok choy has more calcium per calorie than whole milk, and even than “2% fat” milk. The same is true for many other leaf greens.

so basically it seems like getting the most nutritional bang for the buck.

Nutritarian??? If I understand this correctly, it's basically the practice of eating nutritious food...?

Hi. I want to lose weight and be healthy. I guess healthy is the top priority. If anyone is interested in the nutritarian lifestyle or is already living that way and wants support add me. I want to hear what recipes you enjoy or what short cuts you use to prepare foods. Stuff like that. I am not interested in eating junk food in smaller portions as part of my regular diet, but occasionally I have no problem with it.

I've had chocolate pudding made out of white beans, and thought it tasted great, so welcome recipes like that.

i've been a nutritarian for 3 years - feel free to add me. mostly use it as a guidelines now, since my weight training program for this year requires much more protein. love fruits and veggies though...a total convert!

TX_Rhon

I'm half nutritarian, on my mother's side. But I stopped going to services years ago.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Why does everything have to have an -arian suffix?

rastafarians: those who only eat rastaf.
agrarians: those who only eat dry economic reports.
octogenarians: those who only eat people in their 80's.

pastafarians only eat pasta?

I'm a human-at-arian

What exercise do you do, OP?

Your diary is hidden.

At the moment I'd say I'm a good bit healthier than average in most measureable ways despite a diet that has loads of foods not high in micronutrients.
Often it seems that going for this kind of diet merely makes up a little for not exercising, which has a lot of benefits.

Tomorrow I have got planned - chicken breast in sauce 'ready meal' thingy - whole pizza - whole "millionaire's cheesecake". Nom.

So many wacky f'kn made up words. Why not just call it "logical eating" or "sensible" or whatnot. Oh wait, that doesn't sell books. Carry on.

On here? Those terms would get a thread hijacked in a heartbeat.:flowerforyou:

OP feel free to add me. I don't follow *his* book, but I do try to build my diet around nutrient dense vegetables, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, fruits, and a few whole grains and a bit of dairy. I try to focus on whole foods as much as possible. There is also a group here of nutritarians.

I think it means eating at least 90% plant foods. And 10% animal products like meat, milk, eggs.

why the need for a label though? personally I'm more along the lines of "hi I'm human and I eat food"
