0:24
answer the most commonly asked questions
0:26
on the internet and um this is from my
0:29
facebook page i do have people asking a
0:31
lot of questions in my facebook page and
0:33
as usual i say we can benefit so many
0:36
people through a video like this one so
0:38
why not do a video answering this
0:39
question so that we can all get the
0:41
answers to this commonly asked internet
0:43
questions so without wasting a lot of
0:45
time let's go into the video
0:48
so the first most commonly asked
0:50
question is vegetarian diet the best
0:52
diet out there is vegetarian diet the
0:55
best diet out there so to be honest with
0:58
you
0:58
uh it might not be because based on the
1:01
video that i did uh the dart plan
1:04
uh checklist do you remember that video
1:06
the dad plan checklist i did that video
1:08
quite about a year ago and in that video
1:11
we discussed so many things that you
1:13
need to consider before you get into a
1:15
diet is it something that you can afford
1:17
is it accessible is it sustainable so as
1:21
much as the vegetarian badge looks
1:23
result oriented you want to get into it
1:26
stage away so that you can lose some
1:28
weight then you need to consider those
1:30
aspects on the diet plan checklist
1:34
a question number two is organic
1:36
nutritious is organic nutritious so let
1:39
us go ahead and use an example
1:41
suppose you have very organic potatoes
1:43
with you but then you choose to deep fry
1:45
them into fresh fries
1:47
you're making chips from organic
1:49
potatoes so does it become nutritious
1:52
just because it is organic no that is
1:54
not the case
1:56
as much as you want to choose an organic
1:58
type of food then be also wise on what
2:01
cooking method you're choosing you're
2:02
talking about boiling stewing steamed
2:05
steaming those are very healthy
2:08
cooking methods but when you want to
2:10
deep fry you know
2:12
it's best logic because you're taking in
2:14
so much of the saturated fats you're
2:16
over processing these foods and
2:17
eventually however much organic the food
2:20
was then you're spoiling it you're
2:22
spoiling the nutrients you're losing the
2:23
nutrients through over processing them
2:26
through the frying those potatoes and
2:28
therefore organic might not be
2:30
straightforward nutritious the third
2:32
question is should you keep counting
2:35
calories should you keep counting
2:36
calories so calorie counting is hectic
2:39
i'm just going to be honest with you and
2:41
if you've not mastered the skill of
2:44
calorie counting then it's going to be
2:46
very awesome for you because just when
2:48
you eat a little bit more calories that
2:50
than what you need in that day
2:52
you're going to get into weight gain and
2:54
if you eat a little a little bit
2:57
smaller amount of calories that you need
2:58
for that day you're going to get into
3:00
weight loss so you see you need to
3:02
embrace other methods of weight
3:05
management
3:06
like portion controls using the hand
3:08
size
3:09
portion control method i have a video on
3:11
that you can watch you can go ahead and
3:13
watch that video the hand size portion
3:15
control method we also have the
3:17
partition plate
3:19
for management of diabetes i did that
3:21
but i also say that for weight
3:22
management you can still use the same
3:24
same technique half of your plate for
3:26
the vegetables quarter for the proteins
3:28
the other quarter for carbohydrates that
3:30
of course are fruit on the side that is
3:32
just a way of managing uh your weight at
3:34
the same time
3:35
at the same time if you're diabetic
3:37
you're going to be able to manage your
3:39
blood sugar levels so calorie counting
3:41
is not the only way
3:42
if you can embrace these other ways that
3:44
are simple and easy you know then you're
3:47
so much you're going to be so much
3:48
better the fourth question is is when i
3:52
eat important is when i eat important so
3:55
can we use an example of a diabetic
3:58
individual so when you're talking about
3:59
a diabetic patient we always advise
4:01
diabetic patients to eat how many times
4:03
in a day
4:04
how many times in a day six times
4:06
because you want you don't want this
4:08
patient to go into hypoglycemia or
4:10
hyperglycemia you know not too much not
4:14
too frequent
4:15
a good breakfast a snack a good lunch a
4:18
snack an early dinner a snack
4:21
you understand so for any other
4:24
individual out there
4:25
this uh the three main meals of the day
4:28
are very important and keeping time
4:31
keeping those three uh
4:33
main meals is going to prevent you from
4:35
snacking on these junk foods soda creams
4:38
chips and so on and so forth because
4:40
maintaining a good breakfast in the
4:42
morning a good lunch and a good dinner
4:45
is going to give your body time to
4:47
digest the sugar and get into your
4:49
system so that you don't go into
4:50
studying hypoglycemia because you skip
4:52
breakfast now you're eating biscuits
4:54
you're drinking some soda
4:56
it beats logic so
4:59
when you eat is quite important
5:01
for the same reasons as weight
5:03
management disease management and just
5:05
maintaining a healthy weight you know
5:08
being active and so on and so forth so
5:11
these are just some of the questions
5:12
that i thought are important to mention
5:14
in these videos you can put your
5:15
questions down on the comment section
5:17
below and then we shall get back to i
