what did people eat in prehistoric times? pretty much anything they could hunt and gather these days with spoiled for choice. but we're not always doing our bodies a favor. if you believe all the height or body is basically a ticking toxic time bomb that urgently needs defusing. the answer detox short detoxification. as the theory goes, our bodies are exposed to all sorts of harmful substances. day in and day out, during metabolism or bodies, turn these substances into waste products, but a detox philosophy are called flags. it's a term taken from the smelting industry. as our nutritionist explains, 19 slackened us in slag comprises unwonted residual products from intense, hating manhattan. so people, so the call on and other detoxifying organs as needing to be cleansed of this waste

. rather like a furnace diamond. why schlagel scientifically speaking though, are bodies don't contain anything you'd call slag. and we don't need a miracle cure to get rid of it. as long as we're healthy or bodies eliminate toxins and waste products through our liver, kidneys, and intestines, quite efficiently. which is actually of course, you need to get exercise and drink plenty of liquids because they're the medium through which wakes great substances. items in oxygen is also important, which means exercise outdoors. doesn't. these are the factors that help the body and the detoxification organs to function properly, and also excrete certain substances. also shiny christopher lemons, a doctor and nutritional agrees. but there are a few easy things you can do to give your digestion and liver function. a much needed boost was not above deliver liver in the kidneys are the true

but doesn't really work. oh, good has been following a kito diet on and off for over a year, avoiding carbohydrates and replacing them with lots of fat and some protein. she's really happy with the results and say it's a painless way to lose weight or temperature we are ever lasted shown. i used to have a very high protein, low carb diet. but the problem was that i never felt full of those as it was hard work. and then i read about a metabolic diet and began looking into it isn't. and then i came across the kito diet. and amazon angle isn't been up to cookie nanny on the kito diet, basically re programs the metabolism and trains the body to get energy from protein . and primarily fat. ketosis is the metabolic process that kicks in when the body

starts burning stored fat carbohydrates. such a sugar are drastically reduced to 20 miss per day. the man with a suit sonic, who will look up on con carbs, you're often left with cravings, school to kid, or you know, but not with the key to genic diet. i don't have any urge to eat sweet stuff. i just, i feel i can't last down to the increased fat intake. the main thing is to stick to healthy fat. losing weight is the only benefit of a key to genic diet. it's also believed to reduce a range of health risks. ah, but it does habits critics. it's not recommended for long periods for people with kidney or heart disease or during pregnancy. critical like it's not everyone thinks the kito diet is good, but it's worth looking into my food and cutting out sugar is always good to cover. so should can finish punch sign or and i still eat carbs because some vegetables,

a high card form. so what's the problem was placed on gary's confidence. she's eating in a way that's right for her. at some point though, she's paying to up her carb intake just to see how she feels. but for now, she's happy with the kito diet akito diet may help you lose weight in the short term. but if you eat this way for too long, you could increase your risk of a stroke or heart attack in later life. so what is the best kind of healthy eating? according to the food pyramid, loss of water, vegetables, grains, and fruit, moderate amounts of mill fish and meat and cat out the snacks and alcohol. but how do we know how much as a know? well, there are some simple rules we can follow for any body size. we all do it cook something so tasty that we end up eating far too much of it.

i one slade full just isn't enough, but after several helpings, we feel uncomfortably stuffed. that is, can go to day and on again, it's not a good idea. it puts the body under too much. pressure will therefore down we may cause digestion system. what very hard, when we double or triple our stomach volume, drop it off a t i thought. so what's the ideal portion size you k researchers have developed a simple guide using hand and spoon measurements. that helps estimate how much we should be putting on our plates. it doesn't seem like much isn't enough to feel full. we asked powell and olivia to help us find out. they like cooking, but often end up eating too much. as old, when can i know the problem? especially with hosta? i mean if i have 500 grams or kilo the whole package, and then i cook it all at once. sa, smitty, him of, i'm

a we show them the guide to portion control. it's devised to help people identify the amount that's good for them. the correct amount of spaghetti for one person fits in a circle, the size of a one euro coin made by your thumb and index finger. with other types of pasta, the right amount for one person is what fits into 2 cupped hands. oh, with parmesan per person use the rule of 2 thumbs and the right amount of potato is the same size as a fist. oh, what about fish and meat? according to the experts, one portion is about half the size of an outstretched palm, but we can have as much salad and vegetables as we like. and powell in bolivia are going to practice portion control for a week and document the experience with their phones. oh,

this is what a typical meal looks like. will they say it's enough? we're looking forward to finding out. and so as tina hildebrand, a dietician and member of the german nutrition society, she's taken a look at the u. k. guide, here's what she thinks. and if that hunts, i'd say it's very hum day in a literal sense. i often see that people need practical advice. i and i think it's a good idea to use our hands as a measuring tool. it's perfectly seated to the job math lab. mm hm. that it lets us take a person's individual size into account copper, calissa, and young. and so in terms of portion size, it's a very good and useful every day guide. things can school don't call by my talk book a week after our 1st visit. we're going to find out how powell and olivia are getting on with their new food regimen. they show us their video journal does manifest.

that's my portion. it's a bit smaller because my hands are smaller. now we're going to see if it's enough to begin on, ma, hung up. linda. what the verdict. life complet, it's definitely enough. it's a good guide. i'm time from each other. so that wasn't enough for me for that. probably because i didn't have any lunch when i exercised was all, so i'm not surprised. it wasn't enough to eat his gun. so that's what it looks like . you can see the difference between a woman's portion and a mamma's fish there formerly enter when their men amanda. and i'll be at 1st. i thought it wasn't much potato and not enough to be filling but he ended up eating my left overs. hm. you, man, i'm cut off. this is my one potato, my half a palm of meat on stuff, and not even a hose. the guineas in with us, just 80 grams. so one portion of that a woman's portion. aloe louise also looking at this, i'd say it was a lot of potato, but not much me for getting bison vinnish then if i order a schnitzel in a restaurant, it would be a much bigger portion than this associates what this is actually

a nice position. and he think am, and i think that unconsciously will pay more attention to portion sizes. now, we've been doing this for a week. so now we know how it works and how big the portion should be. so we'll eat less now to union good. it's actually fairly easy to stick to the rules, feel and listens, highlight of other people should experiment with it. asked me a lot of us worry about not eating. our felt that we don't need to. this is a lot of people say, well that really was hunter, i mentioned happening a life just like paula and olivia. we've got a simple guide to portion control in the palms of their hands, with a balance dining and plenty of exercise. that's the recipe for good health. we've already covered eating well. now he is a lilia with another useful worker tip. hi and welcome to day we do caesar cakes. this is a lower ab size. you need
