Popular Diets And What They’re Really Like
FRESH FINDS Coming out of the summer season, you can capitalize on that bronzed look with one of 2019’s biggest beauty trends: total body glow, achieved with skin prep and luminizers. More products are available than ever in the body-glow department, with tones and varieties to match every type of skin. One of the best ways to achieve this look? Exfoliation. So, look to body scrubs to slough off dead skin and follow up by using hydrating moisturizers to give those luminizers the optimal surface to shine. Visit our BeautiStore for the latest in beauty care! Total Body Glow For the last couple years, the words “keto” and “paleo” have been floating around the interwebs. Promising better health and a slimmer waistline, these two diets have taken the world by storm. You’ve probably seen them out there, and maybe you’ve tried them or heard about the great results a friend got. Then, there’s Whole30, a 30-day diet that avoids sugar. So, what do these different diets entail? Are they really all that different? Paleo = high protein + low carb + high fiber Based on what may have been the diet our ancestors ate, paleo focuses on reducing carbs and eating more protein, fiber, and fats. Think plenty of meat, seafood, vegetables, fruit, and healthy fats like avocado. Dairy, whole grains, and legumes are out. Keto = high fat + high protein + low carb The keto diet aims to put the liver into the ketosis stage, when it’s burning fat as energy rather than carbs. This is accomplished by eliminating carbs and upping your fat intake. It’s similar to a paleo diet but slightly more restrictive regarding carbs, resulting in fewer vegetables and fruits being consumed.
Whole30 = whole foods – sugar Created by dieticians, Whole30 is intended to be an intensive, 30- day diet that aims to get the body off sugar and identify any food sensitivities you might have. By avoiding sugar, alcohol, dairy, soy, legumes, and grains, the diet attempts to reset the foods you crave. In comparison, keto, paleo, and Whole30 are all low-carb diets focused on cutting down the number of calories we consume from carbohydrates and increasing our fat and protein intake. Whole30 is more focused on reducing sugar for 30 days to return balance to the body, though all three diets restrict refined sugar. If none of these restrictive diets sound appealing, there are treatments we offer at Beautique, like ULTRASLIM, that help you slim down and keep off the weight. Talk to Dr. Sanchez or a Beautique team member to find out if one of our weight loss treatments is right for you.
