Hi there, I thought that it was weird that there wasn't a thread which dealt with helpful general hints and links to stuff on the net which is genuinely great reads on diet and nutrition.
For the newbie - diet & nutrition FAQ
Here's a glycemic index and glycemic load table. Basically it tells you what food will have a high impact on insulin production in your body and what will have a low insulin production. As it's always a good idea to keep insulin levels low, this is a must-read for those who are trying to eat right:
GI index
Here's an overview of nutrients in various products: nutrient information
I'm a newbie at this whole diet thing, so I'd like to ask some questions which I'd love to see answers for, links or replies.
1) What does EFA and macronutrients mean? (perhaps you know of a link to a site which explains all the names one might encounter but not understand right away?)
2) What links did you use to help you discover your eating habits, and what links helped you to change them?
I'll be going through the diet & nutrition forum to see if I can't find great threads to link to.
