a bit more about proteins
• 2 types of proteins in foods; incomplete and
complete
• Animal proteins are already complete. However, they
are usually accompanied by excess fats and fatty
acids. This is why many choose vegetarian lifestyles.
• Incomplete proteins come from legumes (beans, soy,
black-eyed peas, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
Combine these well, and you get complete proteins
without the fats.

more about vitamins
• Vitamins help complex chemical reactions occur in the
body. Not having enough of a given vitamin can cause a
defficiency.
• Vitamin A defficiency causes night blindness, impaired
tooth and bone growth, and dry eyes. Vitamin A helps form
body lubricants (tears, mucous).
• Vitamin D defficiency can cause rickets (bowed legs) and
other bone abnormalities. Fish-oils and sunlight are good
sources.
• Vitamin E defficiency can cause anemia due to red blood
cell oxidation.
• Vitamin K helps with blood clotting.
more about vitamins
• Vitamin C helps bind cells together, and therefore
improves immunity.
• Vitamin B complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin etc.)
all help release energy from carbs, fats and proteins.
about minerals
• Minerals are inorganics that help provide structure to
tissues.
• Calcium and Phosphorus are in bones and teeth and
provide strength. Legumes, Milk products and poultry are
good sources.
• Sulphur and Potassium exist everywhere as fundamental
parts of amino acids.
• Sodium and Chlorine are all over the place, help form
bonds, and increases pressure of fluids due to viscosity.
Excess can cause high blood pressure.
• Iron in red bood cells bonds to oxygen to transport it. A
defficiency can cause anemia.
metabolism
• Metabolic Rate discusses the speed at which you “burn”
Activity Levels
calories, or use energy.
Sedentary is 40-50%
• BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate Calculation;
daily activity
Light is 55-65% daily
activity
Moderate is 65-75%
daily activity
Heavy is 75-100%
daily activity.

o
Your weight in kg ÷ 2.2
Multiply that by 1 if you are male, 0.9 if female
Multiply that by 24 (for hours in a day). This is your BMR
• Your daily calorie requirement can be calculated as follows;
o
o
o
Multiply your BMR by your activity level as on the left.
Add that to your BMR.
This is how many calories you need to take in daily.
losing weight properly
• Low-calorie diets slow your metabolism. Staying on that
diet makes it harder to lose weight and keep it off.
• Better option – increase your activity level moderately,
without changing your diet.
• Once you have achieved your ideal weight, lightly increase
your diet to maintain keep your metabolism up, without
eating too many calories.
• Remember: Fad Diets are only designed to make the
company money. They sell weight loss, but in order for
them to sell it, you must have weight in the first place.
