As planned, and as outlined in our last few community newsletters, HumanaNatura has just completed an extensive update of the Natural Eating section of our Personal Health Program. If you are tracking the iterations, the new nutritional materials are in their eighth edition, extending back to when HumanaNatura first launched in 2002.
In addition, while editing the Personal Health Program, we also used this opportunity to make a change to one of the Core calisthenics exercises in the Natural Exercise section of the program – specifically updating the Body Twists exercise in its entirety.
HumanaNatura…Evolving In Time, As With All Natural Things
The revised Personal Health Program and companion OurPlate dietary guide and graphic, along with revised versions of our stand-alone Calisthenics Guide and Workout Poster, are all now live online and can be accessed via the above links. Please note that the updated Personal Health Program and Calisthenics Guide are each labeled version 3.6, so you can be sure you have the latest editions. As mentioned, this now completed work substantially updates the HumanaNatura Natural Eating technique.
Please note that no other material changes were made to HumanaNatura’s Personal Health Program and none were made to our Community Health Program. However, various supporting materials have been updated to reflect the Natural Eating changes, and these updated items are listed below:
- OurPlate Model Graphic
- OurPlate Model Overview
- OurPlate Meal Rating Tool
- Revised Natural Truth Posts:
Once again, the changes to the Natural Eating section are considerable, with substantial new material that nearly doubles the size of the Natural Eating technique overall. Among the new materials are expanded discussions of historical human diets and eating patterns, natural food intermittency and thus ketogenic fasting in human history, and the science of both intermittent fasting and ketogenic eating today.
Following on these points, we would add that special attention has been paid to better differentiate and also link the historical and modern dietary science discussions in the Natural Eating section. In addition, another notable change is that four model diets are presented and discussed in some detail, each with different fat-carbohydrate profiles. And while the Natural Eating section overall and its guidelines in particular will be familiar, all are significantly revised and updated.
Specific changes to the Natural Eating section include:
> Added discussion of modern dietary science consensus and controversy
> Expanded discussion of the naturalness of both fasting and low-carbohydrate eating
> Examination of the idea of essential carbohydrates
> Discussion and contrast of the pros and cons of four model diets with different fat/carbohydrate ratios
> Offering ketogenic eating as an option within Natural Eating
> Updating of the OurPlate graphical model to reflect this option
> Encouragement of at least short-term exploration of ketogenic eating as a tool to reduce hunger and increase dietary control – notably during the transition to Natural Eating and as needed over time
> Discussion of long-term ketogenic eating
> Consideration of ketogenic eating during pregnancy, lactation, and childhood
> Expansion of the fasting discussion, including added information on daily intermittent fasting, as well as the use of water and electrolyte fasts for weight loss
> Encouragement of daily intermittent fasting
> Discussion of healthy body fat levels in women and men, and girls and boys
If you have questions or suggestions on these changes, please let us know. You can comment below or message us via Contact HumanaNatura anytime, and with whatever is on your mind.
In the meantime, we would welcome and encourage your review of the new Natural Eating materials!
