What is "Galveston Diet"?
"Galveston Diet" is a diet developed for patients by Dr. Mary Claire Heaver of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2017. The purpose is not only to manage the weight of premenopausal and postmenopausal women, but also to relieve menopausal symptoms such as forgetfulness and hot flashes. It consists of three main elements: 1. Basically, an intermittent fast that allows you to eat for 8 hours after fasting for 16 hours. 2. Eat mainly foods with high anti-inflammatory effect, and remove processed foods and added sugars. Leafy vegetables, salmon, olive oil, etc. are typical examples of foods that have a high anti-inflammatory effect. 3. Adopt a unique method to calculate the main nutrients. This increases the proportion of lipids and proteins and reduces carbohydrates. Unlike the ketogenic diet, it is not aimed at inducing the body to ketosis. However, it is not necessary to calculate calories. To reduce sugar, choose one that contains a lot of dietary fiber. "For example, a bread with 20g of carbohydrates would have 13g of sugar if it had 7g of fiber," explains Ellen Liskov, a nutritionist at Yale New Haven Hospital. Foods rich in dietary fiber are recommended because they give you a feeling of fullness and help prevent overeating. The official website of "Galveston Diet" offers free recipes and advice. We also sell supplements such as dietary fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and collagen to help with a well-balanced diet, but "try to get nutrients from food as much as possible. It is not always bad to rely on supplements. It's not that, but it's best if you can get it from food, "advises Liskoff nutritionist.
