Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) became popular as a supplement in 1958 when D. C Jarvis M.D. published his famous book ‘Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctors’ Guide to Good Health’ This book was so popular it reportedly sold 245,000 copies in one week alone.
Among other things Davis was promoting the ‘you are what you eat’ mantra which, even though this book is now 60 + years old, the ‘you are what you eat’ idea is still good solid basic advise.
Doing the Right Thing
Lack of education is a major problem with our food choices on a day to day basis. There is so much misinformation and advertising on undesirable food, how do we know really what is healthy? Sometimes we think we are eating a healthy diet when the truth is, we may not be. Just what is a salad? Is the fat free option the best? What about oil free salad dressing?
Modifying Recipes
On the DietDitch program you can modify almost any of your favourite recipes to create a healthier version. You just have to use your imagination and some trial and error. DietDitch is a positive plan for life, so instead of giving up your favourite recipes for life, learn to modify them!
Exercise For Life
Exercise plays an important part in keeping our bodies lean and strong. This is what living a healthy lifestyle the DietDitch way is all about.
On the DietDitch program we want you to enjoy your movement and work it into your everyday lifestyle. We are not necessarily about vigorous regimens of excessive huffing and puffing, but a little sweat is good and perfectly OK.
Protein
Protein is an essential part of every diet as it provides us with essential amino acids. These are necessary to maintain and repair just about every tissue in our bodies. Having a protein rich diet will also keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the day.
Of course we are not saying that you should eat meat at every meal – not at all. Once a day for meat is quite enough (including chicken) and for red meat 2 – 3 times a week is plenty. Please use all sources of protein during your day including from vegetarian sources.
