When golfers struggle to lose weight, one of the biggest obstacles they face remains unchanged what They eat. It understands what they are eating. It’s the first step towards change, and it’s hard for most people to clear it.
And a recent detailed study by the American Society for Nutrition proves that.
The ASN survey collected data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In this study, about 10,000 Americans investigated their daily dietary details and asked participants to assess their dietary health.Next, the study analyzed how healthy the diets of these people were. actually According to its nutritional guidelines, it found a major disruption.

“We have found that only a small percentage of adults in the United States can accurately assess dietary health,” said Dr. Jessica Thomson, a research epidemiologist at the Agricultural Research Services in the southeastern part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. I am writing in Science Daily. “In addition, most adults overestimate the quality of their diet, sometimes to a large extent.”
Specifically, the study found that approximately 85% “inaccurately evaluated dietary quality” and a total of 99% of participants “overestimated dietary health.” rice field. Only those who admitted that their diet was unhealthy tended to assess themselves more accurately.
Simply put, most people think they are eating healthier than they really are.
* Actually * How to improve your diet
After sharing the results, this study outlines how to fix this disconnect in the future. Mostly, are people deliberately ignorant of what their diet is?Or do they simply don’t know what a healthy diet is? appear favorite?
As for what golfers can get rid of from all of this, first understand that ASN describes some “healthy” and “unhealthy” foods.
An example of foods that ASN has rated as “healthier” is …
- fruit
- vegetable
- Whole grains
- Healthy fat
- Low-fat dairy products
- seafood
- Plant protein.
And some “less healthy” foods …
- Refined grain
- Low-salt food
- Foods with added sugar
- Saturated fat
Eating an overall healthy diet does not mean eliminating the latter food altogether. That just means enjoying them in moderation. Partial control is another big component of all these. You don’t have to cut out all the unhealthy things to improve your diet, but if you enjoy “refined grains” like pasta, know how much you’re actually eating. When I was working hard to lose weight, I literally started weighing those things with a scale, and I found it really helped.
