Feed your body right |
| |
|
Get all the vitamins and
nutrients your body needs, eating a wide variety of food on a daily
basis. Create your meals by combining at least one protein, one
carbohydrate and one vegetable or fruit. |

Food labels are there to be
read |
|
|
|
Make a habit of taking a look
at them while you are food shopping. They can tell you a lot from what
you are buying and can help you make wiser choices. Plus, you get to
learn more about the nutrition and ingredients of the food you eat. |

Something for everyone |
| |
|
Each person is different. When
dieting, remember that as an individual, you have to provide balance in
your diet, including different foods based on the value that each one
has to your total goal. For some, food choices might include a specific
macronutrient balance, and for other this can be totally wrong. |

|
Get up and go! |
| |
|
Protein helps increase the
effectiveness of your metabolism. You get sustained energy throughout
the day when you eat it by 20% and it releases carbohydrates, which
means more vigor is released. |

|
Avoid excesses |
| |
|
Proteins are essential but as
well as carbs, in excess they also create some damage. The right amount
for most people is no more than 1.5 grams per pound of lean body mass.
Extra protein will either be turned into glucose or used for energy,
will be excreted out of the body, or provide excess calories that may
get turned into fat. |
