Nutrients
WHAT THE BODY NEEDS (AND WHAT IT DOESN’T)
For a good health and proper functioning of your body, you need nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and
water. Amazingly, the human body is capable of producing thousands of nutrients that it needs to
sustain its own life. Nonessential Nutrients are those which human body produces. Because your
body is manufacturing those nutrients, you don’t need to go outside and get them from foods.
Know the Difference between essential and non-essential Nutrients
• Nonessential nutrients are the nutrients manufactured by your body that you do not need to
get from the food you eat. However, those nutrients that you must get from your diet are known
as Essential Nutrients.
• Essential nutrients are they are not being made in the body and you must get those from your
food. It’s true that to sustain life, it is essential that you get these nutrients from your dietary intake.
Water, Protein, Fats, Vitamins, and minerals are included in the essential Nutrients. One very
common nutrient that has been purposely omitted here is carbohydrates. The hidden biological
fact is that there is not a single carbohydrate that is essential to the human diet – not sugar, not
starch, not fiber. The considerable part over here is carbohydrates do not provide any nutritional
benefit to the human body — none whatsoever you will learn a lot more about this in the coming
sections. But before you dismiss this, understand that The 1 Week Diet is not a ‘lifestyle diet’ that
tells you to get rid of carbs forever. This diet is about to lose the extra body fat while getting on
the track to eat all of your favorite food without even gaining the weight back again. As you will
see, lowering carbs is one method for helping you to reach your goal weight.
