No Single Food Contains All the Nutrients You Need

Each macronutrient plays a unique role in keeping you healthy and supporting your well-being. Any personalized menu plan needs to consider macros’ role in maintaining your body's energy levels, metabolism, cellular function and overall well-being. If there is a major imbalance in the consumption of macronutrients, your body may not be getting enough of that macro for healthy hormone production.
- CARBS - Carbohydrates are your body's most accessible source of energy. These macronutrients can be broken into glycogen and glucose to be used as fuel for bodily functions. Some foods cause a rapid rise in blood sugar followed by a rapid fall, while other foods result in a slow extended rise and fall.
- FAT - Since hormones are constructed from fat molecules and cholesterol, it is important to consume enough fat to avoid suppressing normal hormone production. Extra virgin olive oil and avocados provide a lot of monounsaturated fats and certain antioxidants that can help protect memory and cognitive function in the elderly as well as works as an anti-inflammatory.
- PROTEIN - When it comes to boosting your satiety levels (reduce hunger), your gut uses protein to make hormones that slow digestion to keep you feeling fuller, longer. This in turn slows the release of glucose into your blood to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent insulin spikes. The low fat crowd is quick to point out that fat is the most calorie dense macronutrient, whereas the low-carb group claims that managing insulin spikes is the key to losing weight.
Once you are tracking macro consumption through your personalized menu plan, take notice of when you are not gaining or losing weight. This will tell you when you have reached your ideal daily requirement for calories. Remember, no single type of food contains all of the nutrients that your body needs, which is why eating foods from all macro groups is needed to boost your results.
