Allergies and intolerances

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?

Fatty acids are components of fats and have a decisive influence on the properties and functions of fats in the body.

Saturated fatty acids are mainly found in animal products and are solid at room temperature. For example, you can find saturated fats in meat, butter, but also coconut oil. Saturated fats tend to heat well because they are relatively stable in the face of heat.

Unsaturated fatty acids are mainly found in plants, but also in fatty fish. They are liquid at room temperature. For example, you can find them in olive oil, rapeseed oil, salmon, mackerel or herring. The polyunsaturated fats are particularly healthy, as in linseed or salmon. (Poly)unsaturated fats should not be heated at all or only slightly, otherwise the positive properties will be lost.

In your diet, the proportion of saturated fats should be as low as possible, while the proportion of unsaturated fats should be higher.

Too many saturated fats can lead to deposits in the veins (cholesterol), while unsaturated fats support your immune system, are important for the development of body structures and can break down bad cholesterol.

What are carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates, along with fats and protein, are the main sources of energy for your body. Especially the brain covers its energy needs with carbs in the first place. You should therefore consume at least half of your daily calorie intake through carbohydrates. You find them in plant based foods such as noodles, potatoes, fruits and vegetables, but also in some animal products e.g. Milk.
Is spicy food healthy?

Yes it is.

Especially when it gets colder outside, spicy food is always a good choice. The ingredient capsaicin, which is contained in the chili, provides the intense pungency and heats us up properly. As a result, the thermogenesis, known as the heat generator of our body, is stimulated. This means that your body uses energy and burns calories.

Capsaicin is found in cayenne pepper, spicy pepper, chilli pepper, Tabasco and pepperoni. The world's hottest chilli sauce measured up to 9 million sharpness units. In comparison: A conventional Tabasco sauce has about 2500 units.

Healthy fats: Friend or Foe?

Fats do not always make you gain weight. But what are healty fats? Here is some advice as to which fats are healthy and what types of food to avoid:

The types of fat are seperated into saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The unsaturated ones are healthy, sate you for longer, and are essential in a lot of important processes in your body. The monounsaturated fatty acids, which help you in the uptake of fat-soluable vitamins, are found in foods such as avocados, olive oil, peanut butter, etc.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as Omega 3, are essential for your heart-, brain- and eye function and can be found in e.g walnuts, fatty salt-water fisch and chia seeds.

The saturated fatty acids should make up less than 10% of your daily calorie intake, since they are suspected in raising your LDL-cholesterol levels, which is unhealthy. They are found primarily in animal products, e.g fatty meats, sausages, whole milk products, cream and butter. These products should be consumed in moderation, replaced through healthier alternatives or avoided.

I would like a nutrition and training advice.

You are welcome to make a free consultation appointment with our nutritionist. She can give you a very individual advice and support you on your way to your individual goal.

Please select the appointment here: https://calendly.com/foodspring/30min

How do I gain weight?
To gain weight, you need a calorie surplus. That means you have to eat more calories than you consume. Especially foods such as nuts, nutmeg or oils are rich in calories and help you to eat more calories faster. But make sure that you stick to healthy food.
How do I calculate my macro needs?

To balance out your diet, you have to distribute your macros perfectly. For everybody the needs are different and can differ according your goal.

Basically you should follow these rules:

  • If you want to lose weight you should include a lot of protein in your daily diet, some healthy fats and few carbohydrates. The distribution should look like this: 20-30% carbs, 40% protein, 30-40% fats
  • To gain muscles you should follow a macro distribution that looks like this: 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fats
  • You don't follow a specific goal but you want to stay healthy? Then you should distribute your macros like this: 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fats

The base for your macro needs is your calorie requirement. First, you have to calculate your calorie requirement. Then you can calculate for carbs and protein 4,9 large calories/ g and for fats 9 large calories/ g.

For instance loosing weight:

20% carbs = 400 kcal --> divide by 4,9 = around 82 g/ day

40% proteins = 800 kcal --> divide by 4,9 = 163 g/ day

40% fats = 800 kcal --> divide by 9 = 89 g/ day

Which products can I order with diabetes?

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor will tell you what effect carbohydrates have on your blood sugar level. It is also important that you carefully select the type of carbohydrate you are taking. Whole grain products, carbohydrates from fruit and vegetables and fibre are good for you. Be careful with short-chain carbohydrates such as sugar and unsaturated fats.

Most of our products are low in sugar, or contain sweeteners instead of sugar. For example, the Shape Shake 2.0 contains the sweeteners stevia and sucralose which are metabolized independently of insulin.

All in all, however, you should strive to eat a low carbohydrate diet.

What are sugar substitutes / sweeteners?

As the name suggests, sugar substitutes are supposed to replace sugar. Our aim is to produce products with less or no sugar in order to offer healthier alternatives.

Sweeteners chemically belong to alcohol, but have nothing to do with alcohol itself. They are classified as carbohydrates.

The most important thing about sweeteners is that they have a much higher sweetening power than sugar. They have little or no influence on the metabolism.

Why are minerals important to us?
Vitamins, minerals and trace elements are vital to the body. Many of the essential nutrients can only be absorbed through nutrition. That's why it is really important that you eat fruits and vegetables every day.
How can I eat healthier?

You know how healthy eating works, but can't manage to stay with it? We can show you, how to make it easier for you to do so in the future:

Eat your greens, bake healthy alternatives, replace unnecessary ingredients such as butter or cream, focus on basic recipes, always have healthy snack options at the ready, stock up on frozen vegetables and pay attention to the way you prepare your food, such as the length at which you cook your noodles.

Anybody should be able to eat healthy in their everyday life. Choose easy recipes, types of food that are easy to stock and always keep healthy snacks at home.

How can I change my diet?

What are healthy foods? How do I integrate new eating habits into my everyday life? And how can I change my diet permanently?

There is no right one answer to the question as to what defines a healthy food. Generally, healthy foods are considered to be unprocessed, fresh foods with a lot of micro- and macronutrients to give you energy. We offer a lot of healthy foods, developed transparently and true to life for those who want to live more consciously, without consuming any hormones or chemicals: https://www.foodspring.co.uk/shop.

The main goal is to develop healthy eating habits. It's not about cutting out types of food, but eating everything in moderation. Generally, you should pay attention to eating enough micronutrients and to eat fruits and vegetables daily. If fruits and vegetables are not for you, we offer daily vitamins that give your body everything it needs and help you to start changing your diet permanently: https://www.foodspring.co.uk/daily-vitamins.

The basis of permanently changing your diet is not to rush it, make a clear plan, don't go shopping hungry, meal prep and stay curious. To make a plan and get some dietary tipps, we offer our body check: https://www.foodspring.co.uk/body-check.

Where do sudden cravings come from?

You are fighting cravings, even though you are highly motivated to loose weight and eat healthy? Here is an explanation to this phenomenon:

Sudden cravings are an intense longing for food, which are different from person to person and can have different causes: Lack of sleep, the happiness you get through eating by it causing the release of dopamine, habit and a high calorie deficit.

Tips and tricks to fight these cravings: drink about 2-3L a day or a tall glas of water when you start to get an appetite. Distract yourself with a healthy snack, such as our vegan protein balls: https://www.foodspring.co.uk/vegan-protein-balls

Consum many foods containing protein, which keep you sated longer than carbohydrates, such as our whey protein shake: https://www.foodspring.co.uk/whey-protein.

How do I calculate the ideal calorie requirement to lose weight in a healthy way?

To lose weight you need a calorie deficit of 500 kcal. So you can lose about 0.5 kg of body weight per week - ideally, of course, body fat.

A calorie deficit means you eat less than you consume through activity.

There are two ways to reach a deficit: either eat less or move more. Ideally, of course, is a combination of both.

Have a look at our body check. It will help you to count your calories:

https://www.foodspring.co.uk/body-check?_ga=2.215865239.161072841.1571573933-625335102.1547571341&_gac=1.45403920.1570630014.EAIaIQobChMIqN7P0ayP5QIVhed3Ch1aRgONEAAYASAAEgJVjvD_BwE

Are minors allowed to eat the products, too?

We do not recommend the use of supplements for minors.

In order to build a healthy relationship with foods and most importantly with your body, we recommend to start your fitness journey by learning about nutrition and the benefits it can have on your body.

Muscle building

How can I create my own training plan for muscle building?

If you are interested in creating your own training plan, have a look here:

https://www.foodspring.co.uk/workout-plan-creation

Which diet / training is suitable for the different somatotypes?

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE ECTOMORPHIC TYPE

Since the ectomorphic body type finds it particularly difficult to build muscle, training with fewer repetitions (6-8), longer breaks (2 minutes between sets), but heavier weights, is recommended. The basic exercises and various isolation exercises should be incorporated into the training.

FITNESS FOOD FOR THE ECTOMORPHIC TYPE

- Creatine
- Whey Protein
- Recovery Aminos

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE MESOMORPHIC TYPE

For the athletic body type a varied training with more repetitions (8 - 12) makes sense. Due to the overall faster repetitions, the breaks may also be somewhat shorter (1 minute). The exercises can vary from isolation exercises to whole body training.

FITNESS FOOD FOR THE MESOMORPHIC TYPE

- Energy Aminos
- Protein Bars

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE ENDOMORPHIC BODY TYPE

The endomorphic body type builds up musculature particularly quickly, but also builds up fat deposits just as quickly. For this reason the training of the whole body with more repetitions (12 - 15) and less weight in the strength endurance range is most recommended. Also very effective are HIIT workouts for an intensive afterburning effect or longer cardio units under moderate stress.

FITNESS FOOD FOR THE ENDOMORPHIC TYPE

- Shape Shake 2.0
- Energy Aminos
- L-Carnitine

How can I continue to improve my athletic performance?

You can improve your performance by having a balance between stress and recovery. Use different stimuli during training and train all your motor skills: Strength, endurance, mobility, coordination and speed. They build on each other.

Your goal is to build up a lot of strength? You don't only need strength, but also good coordination and mobility for your training. Furthermore, a good strength endurance has a positive effect on your maximum strength training.

Your goal is Shaping and you want to shape your body? Practice your coordination so that you can do the exercises correctly. Your training is more effective and you reach your goals faster.

How can I recover effectively after the sport?
After exercise, the glycogen stores are empty. In order to recover effectively after exercise, you should consume sufficient carbohydrates and proteins. The stress hormone level can drop and regeneration is promoted.
What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that is produced naturally by our bodies. It is involved in a variety of processes in the body. Among other things, it influences the body structure and the development as well as the blood formation.

In the sports industry, the hormone is known as the "muscle growth hormone". That is correct at first, because testosterone has an anabolic effect in the body. It stimulates the protein metabolism and thus ensures better muscle growth.

In order to achieve faster results in sports, however, the abuse of testosterone is not a solution. Because with an additional Supplementierung of Testosteron the body-own production of the hormone is screwed down automatically. This balancing mechanism ensures that there is no hormone surplus in the body.

With increasing age, testosterone deficiency can occur in men. In younger years, however, a deficiency is very rare. The first symptoms usually occur between the ages of 40 and 50. The first signs can be mood swings, outbreaks of sweating or reduced muscle strength. If you suspect a testosterone deficiency, we recommend that you consult a doctor.

The effects of a testosterone deficiency vary and depend on individual circumstances. Hair loss, decreasing muscle strength or a libido disorder can be consequences of a deficiency.

What somatotype do I belong to?

The right diet to achieve optimal results in muscle building depends strongly on the type of your body. There are three main body types:

Ectomorphological (Hardgainer): The body structure is characterized by long limbs, low body fat and slow weight gain.

Endomorph (Softgainer): Rather round body structure, with a tendency to accumulate fat quickly at the waist, hips and thighs. Women often have wide hips. Slow metabolism, but rapid build-up of muscle and fat mass.

Mesomorph: Sporty body, with broad shoulders, strong arms and legs and a narrow waist. The proportion of muscle mass is high and therefore usually very athletic. Fast and good results in muscle building.

Body types differ mainly in their muscle mass, the tendency to fat accumulation and the general structure. However, many people cannot be classified into a certain type, but are rather "mixtures" of different types.

How can I gain muscle mass effectively ?

These three facts are most important for your success:

Training + nutrition + regeneration

1. Training: an intense workout helps your muscles to grow faster. It is important to train regularly and increase your training load progressively .

2. Nutrition: your muscles can only grow when you eat more calories then your body actually needs. 300 -500 Kcal / day is sufficient. However, make sure you have enough protein included in your daily meals.

3. Regeneration: Your muscles do not grow during exercise but in the days after. If your recovery time is too short, your training stagnates. Your muscles do not have enough time to grow.

What should I consider / avoid after sports?
The body consists of 50-60% water. After sport you have lost a lot of fluid (sweat loss, temperature, stress intensity) so you should drink a lot. Therefore you should compensate your fluid loss quickly. Furthermore, your storage is empty, but your body needs energy. So you should refill your storage quickly.
How do I gain weight?

If you want to gain weight, it is important to keep an eye on your calorie balance. If you eat more calories than you consume a day, you gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. If calorie intake and consumption are the same, your weight remains unchanged. You can find out your individual calorie requirements with the help of ours:

To produce a calorie surplus can mean to have to eat between 3000-4000kcal a day. Of course, these are reached faster by reaching for pizza, burgers, etc.. However, to ensure that you consume enough vitamins and minerals, we recommend a healthy and balanced diet. A lot of fruit and vegetables should be firmly integrated into your diet, despite the increase in mass. In order to build up muscles, the muckis must also be fed properly. Here you can find out all you need to know about a diet plan to build muscle:

Conclusion: For an increase in mass, it is important to have an excess of calories. In other words, you eat more calories than you consume. Try to feed your calories as healthy as possible. High Calorie Shakes help you to absorb the calories you need quickly and easily.

Weight loss

Why don't I lose weight?

You may not see any results for the following reasons:

- You have no calorie deficit. That means you take in more calories than your body needs.

- You have too much calorie deficit, which is why your body switches to economy mode.

- You do not do high intensity workouts to burn more calories.

How can I lose weight without a strict diet?

You can already lose weight when you reach your calorie deficit during the day. A high-protein diet will help you to stay full and get less cravings. Replace sweet snacks with low-calorie, healthy snacks (such as nuts, wholemeal bread with hummus or avocado, fruits, etc.)

To increase your calorie burning take advantage of everyday opportunities to be active (stairs instead of elevators, bicycles instead of cars or trains, etc.)

How do I lose weight without sports?

The best results can be achieved by combining a healthy diet with sports.

If you do not like doing sports, try to integrate as much exercise as possible into your everyday life. This burns far more calories than you think. A calorie deficit is the key to lose weight.

What is the benefit of burning fat
During physical activity, carbohydrates and fats are providing energy. From the fat you burn, energy is gained for muscle work. The longer your sports unit is, the more fatty acids are proportionally reduced to provide energy.
Why does losing weight take so long?
A moderate calorie deficit and regular exercise will allow you to achieve satisfactory results in the area of long-term weight loss. On the other hand, a too large calorie deficit initially leads to a rapid weight loss, but then causes the yo-yo effect and the lost pounds quickly return to the hips.
Why am I not losing weight?

Even though you pay attention to your diet and you do more sports nothing changes on the scale?

Here you can find different reasons why or what you can do better:

  • Too much calorie deficit make your body switch to pilot flame
  • Train with a high intensity to consume more calories
  • Grown muscles are the reason why your weight on the scales does not change even though you already see changes in the mirror
  • Avoid hidden calorie bombs and calorie drinks
  • Why does it take so long to lose weight?

    In weight loss, especially fats and proteins as energy sources and muscle protection factor play an important role. Those who only want to lose weight without exercising can avoid carbohydrates and keep them at a very low percentage.

    Distribution of Macronutrients: 30% carbohydrates, 30% proteins, 40% fats

    How do I lose weight as a vegetarian / vegan?

    In the end, it depends on your total daily calorie balance if you lose weight or not. That means, if you want to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat and drink.

    For a successful weight loss, we recommend you to increase the protein level of your food. Proteins are important for your muscles and make you full. If you additonally do sports (what we highly recommend too), your muscles are well prepared for the weight loss and recover much better after your training. Grown muscles give you power and burn fat more effectively.

    As a suitable shake we recommend you our vegan protein:
