The LATEST diet

SHBoss1673

There are a lot of fad diets out there, I have made a brand new diet up. here's how it goes. I haven't named this diet yet,
maybe we can call it the HUMAN diet, or the everyone diet or something.

First, confirm that you have no medical conditions that require a specialized diet (if you do, then obviously this may not be
exactly right for you, no need to comment about that, we get it already).

Rules:

-Eat as much food in their natural states as you can (I.E. unprocessed, not ground up, not cooked to death)
-Eat a reasonable amount of healthy fats (somewhere between 12% and 25% of your daily macronutrients)
-Eat a reasonable amount of complete proteins (somewhere between 15% and 35%) every day.
-Eat a reasonable amount of carbohydrates (somewhere around 40% and 60% with 90% of those being complex carbs)
-Eat as little added sugar as possible.
-Try to eat 100% of all required micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) every day.
-Do not use meal replacements (in stead of meals, they can be used supplemental).
-Do 30 to 45 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise a day for 3 days a week (65-80% of your maximum HR)
-Do 2 to 3 days a week of resistance exercise (weight training or anaerobic activity)

Addendum for weight loss:
-Eat at a moderate NET calorie deficit in proper relation to how much FAT you have
-Stop expecting massive changes in weeks.

Timeline:
Step 1) Start doing all of the above.
Step 2) live a full and healthy life, and eventually die as an old, old person that has lived a long and healthy life.



Testimonials:
-Just about 99.5% of Olympic athletes
-Just about 99.5% of professional athletes
-About 95% of Nutritional health professionals
-About 95% of Medical doctors
-About 99% of clinical researchers from the nutritional health realm

Novel approach? Maybe, but it works, it's just not the quick fix that everyone wants.

Sounds like a good plan!!

Hmmmm.... ill think about it ......lol jkjk

Well I've tried all the others may as well try this one.... just wish I had found it years ago! Oh, well, it's never too late ) LOL

naedeeny

Sounds like the plan for me!

I tried the 17 day diet recently and after a few days I gave up and just went back to eating like a normal person. This post is refreshing

it's NEVER to late. The human body kicks butt in this regard, unless an organ completely fails, you can almost always get it back up and running.

Yes! Bravo for the Human Diet! That's perfect... but, if geared toward morbidly obese (like I was), I'd add:

After following "The Human Diet" , at any point, if you find you want to binge on junk food or what some people call comfort food, or trigger foods, whatever, you know what I mean... Chances are you are avoiding having to deal with something emotional. You most likely have masked feeling your emotions for so long that you won't recognize that you are blocking an emotion. Your body doesn't want junk food... so trust that if "you" do, you just need to make a few minor changes in thinking, and you'll be on your way to success. You'll be able to get back on the "Human Diet" and reach a healthy weight goal.

Wanna toss in the towel? STOP!:

1) Think about what might be bothering you.
2) Think about what went right and wrong that day.
3) Trust yourself to "feel" that disappointment, or pain, or frustration, whatever emotion you've been avoiding.
4) Make a decision based on your new found emotion. Of course your feeling is "justified" but is it productive? Will holding onto it help or hurt you?
5) Decide what you want to do, and let go of the emotional attachment to the issue. If you can do something, do it, if not, let it go!

It's simple, not easy, but very simple. Each problem you face, will help you prove to yourself that nothing is too big for you to deal with. You are an adult now, and not a little kid needing to avoid pain. It's so "painless" after a while anyway! You will see. After your brain is wrapped the idea of dealing with issues head on... You will want to treat your body to the awesome "Human Diet" plan SHBoss outlines. It's good for you, makes you feel great, and you will start believing you deserve it. And you do!

Now, I know there's a lot of extra room up there but, Julie... GET OUT OF MY BRAIN! I don't like sharing.

Best "Fad" diet ever! :drinker: Here's to hoping it catches on.

These two together are truly the best advice ever!!!

Dear ShBoss,
You are so right on with that diet! I am following something very similar right now... and feeling (and looking) better than I have since, well, I think actually, I feel better than ever before. It just makes sense! Thank you for sharing! Hate reading posts from all these folks searching for an easy answer... the "Human Diet" is pretty darn easy, and the best part, it's super effective, and lasting!

Great post! Maybe you should call it the Common Sense Diet! I think the media warps our sense of eating & diets so much every gimmick that helps you lose a couple lbs short term gets attention :S

iplayoutside19

Awesome, Who wants to start a group?

Mindful_Trent

This is great! :drinker:

Love this post- it's a good reminder of what's really important!

westcoastSW

Love it. Although, calling it the "Human Diet" made me think of cannibalism... so I'm on board with "Common Sense"

PJilly

I like it. I like it a lot.

bmontgomery87

agreed. I'm on the limits of most of those, but still in the area.
I do 25 percent fat...so near the top.
35 percent protein...right at the top
40 percent carbs.


great post

No, no, no. This simply won't do. How can you expect to inspire cult like devotion and flog thousands of units of books, videos and supplements with a clear, sensible and easily accessible guidelines which allows for flexibility?

And the "Human Diet." That is no way a sexy enough title. It will not allow true believers to be awarded for their devotion by believing they are part of an exclusive group which has access to cutting edge info that "they" do not want you to know about. How about "The Genome Andrenoceptor Diet" instead? Nothing like some impressive sounding technical jargon.

Now the only thing left to do is set myself up as a guru (hmmm, I'm thinking purple robes with gold filiigree and some kind of orange turban,) ensure my word is never questioned and the individual is always wrong, employ cult speak, cut off exit strategies for the devoted, suppress dissent, enforce thinking conformity, embrace irrationality, and personally attack critics. Pffft, I can do that in my sleep.

Then I can sit back and watch the profits roll in. Oh, I may need to ensure SHBoss mysteriously disappears so I can plagarise his work but that can be arranged. Mwhahahahaha

Cannibalism? where's your brain at? :noway:

lol

human diet, common sense diet, 6 of 1 I'm fine with either. How about the "Not a diet" diet

LOL, you've thought this through way to much, should I be nervous? All I want is a percentage of the pyramid sales.

AWSOME!!!!!!! You just summed up the way I feel about food!!!!

parvati

Funny!
This is exactly how people should eat but because there is no gimic or quick fix the majority of people won't go for it....good call calling it a "diet" tho...you might rope a few people in with that! lol

seansquared

Is this meant to be a light, quasi-anecdotal approach to nutrition? Because the athletes, medical professionals, fitness professionals, and exercise nuts over at Bodybuilding.com would not agree at all that so little come from fats and proteins and so much come from carbs.

You left out "Establish MLM sales force"

Aha! The final piece of my masterplan (I'm afraid you may have to conveniently disappear as well. No hard feelings you understand.)

I am currently recruiting for "Genome Andrenoceptor" Trainers. Qualifications: none apart from the ability to be truly annoying.
