After all, we’ve long been told that shedding pounds is a simple equation of taking in fewer calories than we use. The only problem is that cutting <em>too</em> many calories can completely backfire on our fat loss efforts.</p> <p>“Everyone wants to lose weight quickly, and many people make the mistake of being too restrictive,” explains Torey Armul, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D., spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/eat-more-lose-weight/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading How Eating More Food Can Actually Help You Burn Fat at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">19482</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Should You Cut Out FODMAPs?</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/fodmaps/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Alisa Hrustic]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2018 15:54:12 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Nutrition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[carbohydrates]]></category> <category><![CDATA[digestion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[eat clean]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fiber]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FODMAP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gastrointestinal health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gut health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthy diet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IBS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[inflammation]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=18689</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/fodmaps/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/FODMAPs-1-150x150.jpg" alt="Should You Cut Out FODMAPs?" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p>Whether it’s fat, carbs, sugar, gluten, or even lectins, we’re always labeling <em>some</em> type of food ‘diet enemy number one.’ These days, it’s FODMAPs that are taking a hit.</p> <p>Now, you might be thinking: A FODMAP is, <em>what</em>, exactly? Trust us—there’s a reason for the acronym.</p> <p>FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (how’s that for a tongue twister?), and refers to various types of carbohydrates our body may have a hard time digesting, explains Emily Rubin, R.D., L.D.N., clinical dietitian for the celiac, fatty liver, and weight management centers at Thomas Jefferson University.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/fodmaps/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading Should You Cut Out FODMAPs? at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">18689</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Much Can Willpower Really Do For Your Health?</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/willpower-health/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Alisa Hrustic]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2018 16:21:04 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Weight Loss]]></category> <category><![CDATA[80/20 rule]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[flexible dieting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthy lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[inspiration]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lose weight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[motivation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self-care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[stress]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wellness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[willpower]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=18236</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/willpower-health/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Willpower-150x150.jpg" alt="How Much Can Willpower Really Do For Your Health?" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p>If you think saying ‘no’ to that chocolate cake is the only thing standing between you and shedding those last few pounds, you’re in good company: Surveys show most people identify a lack of willpower as the biggest obstacle in weight loss. But for as much as we toss the term around, does willpower really make or break our journey to a healthier lifestyle? The answer isn’t so black and white.</p> <p>“When people think of willpower, they define it as denying themselves something they really want, but for whatever reason think they shouldn’t have,” says certified health coach Anna Dupree.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/willpower-health/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading How Much Can Willpower Really Do For Your Health? at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">18236</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Many Omega-3s Does Your Body Need Daily?</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/how-many-omega-3s-do-you-need/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Alisa Hrustic]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Mar 2018 15:04:15 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nutrition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ALA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[brain health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[chia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DHA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EPA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[essential fats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fatty fish]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fish oil]]></category> <category><![CDATA[flax]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthy fats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[heart health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[omega-3s]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vegan]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=17913</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/how-many-omega-3s-do-you-need/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/How-Many-Omegas-150x150.jpg" alt="How Many Omega-3s Does Your Body Need Daily?" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p>Healthy fats (you know, the kind found in avocados, olive oil, fish, coconut oil, and nuts) are essential to a balanced diet—and omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat we typically associate with salmon and fish oil supplements, are no exception.</p> <p>There are three types of omega-3s we need: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha linolenic acid). You can find DHA and EPA in animal sources, like fatty fish and grass-fed beef, and ALA in plant sources, like walnuts and flax seeds.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/how-many-omega-3s-do-you-need/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading How Many Omega-3s Does Your Body Need Daily? at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">17913</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Are Lectins The New Gluten?</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/lectins/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Alisa Hrustic]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 20 Feb 2018 14:22:49 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nutrition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Latest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dr. Gundry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[healthy diet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[immunity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[inflammation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lectins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[legumes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[plant based]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Plant Paradox]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com/?p=17629</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/lectins/"><img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Lectins-150x150.jpg" alt="Are Lectins The New Gluten?" align="left" style="margin: 0 20px 20px 0;max-width:100%" /></a><p>When it comes to nutrition, there’s always a new bad guy.
