Blogueira fitness mostra que o mais saudável nem sempre é o menos calórico

A britânica Lucy Mountain é conhecida na internet como blogueira fitness.

Two days ago I did a text-based Instagram story with details on my personal approach to food. You might remember it – it was talking about my 30/70 split, had a pink background and probably this emoji ?.⠀ ⠀ Incase you missed it, my 30/70 split is basically this:⠀ -70% (ish) of the time I eat filling, micronutrient-dense foods I love.⠀ 30% (ish) of the time I eat less-filling, less-micronutrient-dense foods I love.⠀ ⠀ I don’t necessarily eat like this every day.⠀ I don’t necessarily eat like this every week.⠀ ⠀ Some weeks I’ll be extremely busy and it’ll be more like 40/60.⠀ Some weeks I’ll not give any fucks and it’ll be more like 50/50.⠀ ⠀ In fact, 50/50 has been pretty much my week this week. I’ve just moved flats, my motivation has been low and I’ve just generally felt hormonal.⠀ ⠀ I even turned into a #fitgirl meme last night and spoon-ate Nutella out a jar. I cringed at myself.⠀ ⠀ Anyway I just wanted to emphasise that ‘ish' because it’s a big one. There will be days, weeks – even months – when my motivation dips, and that’s okay. It’s temporary, and I’m in this THANG FO LYF.⠀ ⠀ #Realism #LikeRealizingStuff #KylieJenner⠀ ⠀ (?: @ninahealthily – wearing all @fashercise who btw are still giving 20% off with code FFFXFASHERCISE to celebrate their beeday ?)

Por meio de suas redes sociais, ela tenta provar que, nem sempre, o alimento mais saudável será menos calórico.

MY IBIZA VLOG IS FINALLY UP VIA THE LINK IN MY BIO.⠀ ⠀ If you want to watch 11 minutes of me being weird in a grey baggy t-shirt, then you know what to do.⠀ ⠀ (Thank you once again to Louise from @carteblanchebodybalance ? I cannot recommend her yoga retreat enough. If you've never done one before or are scared to do one alone, this beautiful soul is the perfect host for you ?)⠀ ⠀ #theFFF #CBBBRetreat

Muitas vezes, um lanche saudável tem a mesma quantidade de calorias do que uma comida gordurosa.

My body is shaped by my lifestyle, but not built by it. There are certain things I can change and there are others that I can’t – accepting that was one of the decisions I’ve made. – I don’t follow any set rules when it comes to my diet. When I have a particular goal in mind like I do currently, I give myself guidelines (calories and protein targets) but that doesn’t mean I always follow them when it comes down to it. I’m not failing, I’m just living. – I’m now 5 weeks into my ‘get-a-bit-leaner’ quest and I’ve stuck to my targets about 70% of the time. I’ve had dips in motivation and consecutive days where I’ve eaten enough to feed a family of 4 for a week, but I’ve also had highs in positivity and consecutive days where I’ve reached my goals and met 'my guidelines'. – Could I have achieved more if I’d have stayed consistent to the guidelines? Sure. But that’s not me – and what’s most important to me is that I’ve loved every moment of this journey. Particularly the parts where I ate 1kg of marzipan cake. Or something. – Anyway – the goal was 8 weeks so that means there's 3 to go. I’m not sure if i’ll look any different or make progress physically from here, but that’s fine. I loved my body before I love it now and I’ll love it then, loving life. 2k17. Ya dun no. (Sorry.) – P.S. THERES A NEW ‘WHAT I EAT IN A DAY’ VIDEO LIVE ON MY CHANNEL AS OF 2 MINS AGO. I take you through another day of honest eating on my fatloss calories. Father Mountain has another camp and personally, it’s his best yet. – Love x – #theFFF8WeekCut

Ela mostrou, por exemplo, que um 100g de chocolate ao leite, comum, têm um pouco menos de calorias que 100g de chocolate sem glúten e sem lactose.

Lucy também comprovou que chips de legumes possuem até mais calorias que batatas chips.

A mesma porção de jujubas e amêndoas também podem ter a mesma quantidade de calorias.

A diferença calórica entre biscoitos saudáveis (à esquerda) e comuns pode não ser tão grande.

Como Lucy Mountain costuma dizer, reeducação alimentar vai além da quantidade de calorias.

Six weeks into my eight week can-I-get-a-little-leaner-pls commitment. – If you saw my post last week you'll know that I'm not really looking to get any leaner from here, it's just not realistic. I have a very social, pizza-fuelled week coming up and will mostly likely struggle to stick to my calorie target everyday – and that's okay ? – In these 6 weeks I have eaten all the foods I love still, trained 4 times a week where possible, still eaten out/drank alcohol, and as result, I have abs when that light hits for Instagram selfies (as pictured here ?) I'm cool with that. – 'Progress' from here will be maintaining where I am at until I go on holiday. #TeamRealistic ??? – P.s. THERES A NEW VIDEO ON MY CHANNEL. 6 things I'd tell my younger self. Come laugh with/at me. Link in bio team ? – #theFFF8WeekCut

“Eu glorifico o fato de saber o que está na comida que você está comendo, e fazer decisões instruídas, baseadas nos seus valores.”

It (periodically) grinds my gears when people shame calorie counting and tracking macros as a negative way to approach nutrition.⠀ ⠀ There’s a stereotype which directly relates tracking to obsessive, restrictive eating patterns which completely disregards overall wellness in exchange for body composition goals.⠀ ⠀ Yes, it is possible to take counting to the extreme – but this runs true to anything. For many, keeping a log of the food they’re eating is a great way to improve their health. It is completely dependant on the individual. (Some of us like spreadsheets/marmite/Miley Cyrus, others don’t.) ⠀ ⠀ As with types of food, let’s not categorise such methods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but instead work out what works best for us and accept what works best for others. Our own approaches will most likely change ALL the time anyway – and at times, we won’t consciously have one at all.⠀ ⠀ As long as we all have our health, physically AND mentally, it’s totally okay that some people like keeping a log of their food on a cute little app, and other’s don’t. Let’s let that be it ?????????? – Wearing @labelonline #WearTheLabel | ? @sunshineandwaffles – #theFFF
