The 10-Calorie Diet Fixer
Add a tiny scoop of this powder to any fat-loss diet and you'll be much healthier when the diet is over, making it easier to keep the fat off.
Losing fat is simultaneously simple and complex. On the simple side, just expend more calories than you ingest. You can do this by eating fewer calories, burning extra calories through exercise, or both. It's simple enough, but not easy.
On the complex side, a successful diet involves more than calories-in and calories-out. Dozens of other factors are involved, like hormones, food choices, macronutrients, compliance, inflammation, obesogens, mental health, and more.
You have to decide what type of diet you want to do, then have the foresight to see what long-term effects that diet has. All diets "work," but can you keep the fat off? Are you healthier after the diet, or just smaller? A couple of studies can help us navigate these issues.
Leaner... but Micronutrient Deficient
One study in Nutrition Journal found that when people drop calories to lose weight, their diets contain insufficient micronutrient levels. In other words, they eat less and therefore consume fewer vitamins and minerals, sometimes so few that the deficiencies interfere with vital physiological functions.
These deficiencies are exacerbated with low-carb, keto, paleo, or carnivore-style diets. Strict carbohydrate restriction usually involves a big reduction in fruit, berry, and starchy vegetable intake. Even a low-sugar focus causes some dieters to avoid foods like apples and tomatoes if they go the extreme route.
This is unhealthy, of course, but micronutrient deficiencies also cause cravings – your body's signal to give it what it needs. These signals are often misunderstood, leading dieters to consume less nutritious options instead of addressing the root cause.
Leaner... but Phytochemically Deficient
Plant phytochemicals contribute to a plant's color, flavor, and resistance to disease. They're not yet considered "essential" like vitamins and minerals, but they probably should be. These compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties that protect against chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Research in Nutrients even highlighted that certain phytochemicals possess appetite-suppressing properties, and their reduced intake during restrictive diets could affect weight management and overall health.
Again, a fat-loss diet naturally reduces overall calorie intake, and many dieters don't want to "spend" their allotted calories on things like blueberries and oranges. Even a high-protein plan (always a smart strategy) can cause people to leave out phytochemical-rich foods so they can make room for more protein.
The Fix for Any Diet
Ask most dieticians, and they'll tell you to just eat five to ten servings of fresh fruits and veggies daily, sometimes more. That's not easy even if you aren't on a reduced-calorie diet. But the dieticians aren't wrong: consume a lot of fruits, berries, and vegetables while dieting and you won't have to worry about wrecking your health with a basic nutrient or phytochemical deficiency.
That's one of the reasons we designed Biotest Superfood (Buy at Amazon). We took 18 carefully chosen foods – loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals – and freeze-dried them. Freeze drying is a process by which water – and nothing else – is removed from the fruits and greens. That means the phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals have been preserved and the ingredients retain virtually the identical phytochemical content, enzymatic activity, and bioactivity of fresh products.
Each scoop of Superfood is about the size of your thumb and contains 10 calories and only 2 grams of carbs – easy to fit into any diet plan.
