and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Today I want to briefly discuss a topic which I get asked about often, is relevant to all of us and as a rule, seems to confuse many people; Recommended Daily Intakes (RDIs). That is, how much of this micro-nutrient (vitamin, mineral) or that macro-nutrient (protein, fat, carbohydrate) you and I should put in our body each day. Overall, this is a subject which is handled badly by many of the alleged experts who I believe, should know better. Let me say right off that for the most part, adhering strictly to some standardised, generic RDI's is a waste of time, if not, downright dangerous.
Imagine someone asks you this question:
"I will be driving my car tomorrow, can you tell me how much petrol (gas) I'll need for the day?"
You probably wouldn't say:
"Sure, tomorrow you will need exactly 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of petrol."
Of course you won't say that because you would need a lot more information before you could even begin to have an educated opinion or take a slightly informed guess as to the likely fuel requirements of that car, for that day. No, you would probably ask some questions like:
1. How far will you be driving? 2. How fast will you be driving?
3. Will you be driving continuously at a steady speed or will you be getting in and out of the car all day?
4. What kind of car is it? 5. Is it fuel injected? 6. Is it an old or new car?
7. Is it a little car, a big truck or something in the middle?
8. Will there be other people in the car? How many? 9. Will you be driving mostly on the flat, or perhaps up and down some hills? 10. Is it a four, six or eight cylinder car? 11. Is it a petrol, diesel or hybrid vehicle? 12. Has the car been serviced regularly and is it running well?
When we consider some of the obvious and logical questions we could ask the driver, we begin to realise that fuel requirements - be that petrol for a car or food for you and I - will typically vary from day to day. Just as it would be stupid to tell any driver that her car will require the same amount of petrol every single day, so to it is ridiculous to tell people that their body will function optimally on a fixed amount of calories, protein, fat, carbs, vitamins and minerals every day of their life. I will expand on this at some stage in the near future but today I just wanted to get you thinking and to open the door a little.
