Welcome to GreatNutritionDesigns.

On this page, I will share my thoughts and science based findings with you on the lifestyle and mindset changes that losing weight and getting healthy should ideally entail.

Be mindful of who you associate with, some people drain your energy because they are ‘empty’. Envious, shallow, insecure and manipulative people can wreak havoc on your hormone health and immune system, if you let your guard down. Best to keep them at arm’s length. Health is not only about nutrition, the exposome component is paramount to your well-being.

This doesn’t fall under the heading of nutrition advice, but I decided to share it because bullyism seems to run rampant these days, for so many different reasons. When someone you know seems to repeatedly verbally attack you for no plausible reason, judges you and humiliates you around others, remember these behaviors are prompted by their insecurities and envy. The way they treat you is no reflection on you, in fact it’s blatant proof of your value as a person.
Let them. Rest assured you won’t be the only one who sees what they’re doing.

Ok, I’m going to be a pain with this - once again.

It’s concerning to me that many people are still unaware that storing acidic foods, which by the way includes fats (chemistry 101), in plastic containers can lead to chemicals leaching into your food, REGARDLESS of the temperature. However, heating and freezing can significantly increase this leaching process.

Heating causes more leaching because elevated temperatures can increase the mobility of the chemicals in the plastic, making it easier for them to migrate into the food. Heat can also break down the plastic itself, leading to the release of additives and other harmful compounds. Additionally, high temperatures can alter the chemical bonds within the plastic, which may further facilitate leaching. Overall, the combination of increased molecular movement and potential degradation of the plastic material results in greater chemical transfer to the food.

Freezing can enhance the leaching process due to the expansion of water as it freezes. This expansion can create tiny cracks in the plastic, which may allow chemicals to seep into the food more easily. Additionally, the change in temperature can alter the molecular structure of the plastic, potentially increasing its permeability. While the process is generally slower at freezing temperatures compared to heating, the structural changes can still contribute to leaching over time.

“BPA-free” does not guarantee that a container is safe for all uses, especially for storing acidic or hot foods. While BPA-free containers reduce the risk associated with bisphenol A, they may still contain other harmful chemicals. Many plastics are made from a variety of additives and compounds that can leach into food, especially when exposed to heat or acidic substances.

Sorry for being such an alarmist 🙀 but I recommend investing in glass containers. You can also save empty glass jars for freezing soups and sauces—I’m known for doing that! Additionally, consider purchasing 304 grade (18/8 stainless) microwave-safe containers, which are now available in many stores.

Happy, plastic-free holidays! 🎄

Stop demonizing meat and stop equating plant protein to animal protein!

Surely, legumes and other plant foods are conceivably highly nutritious, in that they contain some protein, minerals and fiber.

However, beans and many other plant foods such as nightshades contain LECTINS, carbohydrate-binding proteins that the plants use as a defense mechanism from insects (lectins are poisonous to insects), and in humans, if ingested in HIGH amounts, they can create inflammation of the gut lining (leaky gut).

Our immune system resides in our gut, and FREQUENT lectin-rich food consumption can lead to auto-immune conditions, due to toxins escaping out into the bloodstream through tears in the gut lining (from inflammation), and due to immune cell dysregulation.

If lectins flow freely in the bloodstream, that inflammation can go systemic, meaning it spreads like wildfires throughout all cells in the body. Inflammation causes microbiome imbalances, making digestion of proteins, minerals like iron and other nutrients challenging at best.

Also, it is important to remember that the human body LACKS the enzymes to break down protein from plant foods, and certain enzymes in plant foods inhibit the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Some people are particularly sensitive to lectins.
However, if consumed in moderation and within the context of a balanced and variegated diet, one that includes animal protein, lectins can actually assist cellular communication, and the fiber in plant foods can assist in toxic by-product elimination. It’s all about moderation and balance.

Keep in mind that grain-fed meat, dairy and eggs, and even farm-raised fish, naturally contain lectins the animals have accumulated from the grains, so ALWAYS be sure to purchase grass-fed and wild animal products.

PSA: Make sure you're not buying fruit or veggies with the "Apeel" label on it... It's some new-fangled, Gates-funded, trans-fat-laden, waxy coating that makes old produce appear fresh, and it doesn't wash off: https://returntonow.net/2023/04/23/avoid-produce-with-the-new-apeel-label-like-the-plague/
