Many factors are involved when it comes to designing
a winning diet, (i.e.): a basic
understanding of the various nutrients (Proteins, carbohydrates,
and fat) and how they
affect your metabolism. Your body fat composition; knowing
how much of your body weight
is lean muscle and how much is fat. You’re eating and
sleeping cycle and your weekly activity
level. All these factors must be taken into consideration
when designing a diet.
Your body needs a specific amount of protein
on a daily basis in order to speed up your
metabolism and increase your body ratio of muscle to fat.
This process takes place while the
body is at complete rest provided there is a fuel source.
Your body prefers carbohydrates
but your body will run on fat. The key to losing body fat
is to first eliminate as much fat from
the diet as possible because almost everything you eat almost
has a little fat in it, so you
don’t have to go out of your way to take in fat to whose
primary function is to lubricate the
joints and cushion your internal organs. Keep your carbohydrate
intake as low as possible
throughout the day, this way by the end of your day you will
have depleted your body of all
carbohydrates.
Eat mainly vegetables as an energy source later
in the day. You don’t want to spike your
blood sugar level with food high in sugar and starches late
in the day. This way, by the time
your body is ready for sleep, provided you haven’t taken
in abundance of carbohydrates,
your body will now start to use as fat stores as a source
of energy to repair and build muscle
tissue providing you have reached your protein quota for the
day.
Knowing what to eat (selection) when to eat
(timing) and how much of it to eat (portions) is
another key factor to dieting. This great feat is accomplished
through the use of my diet
analysis sheets. After we know your body fat percentage and
have plugged that information
into the maximum results formula along with knowledge of the
client’s weekly activity level,
this will tell us how much of each nutrient the client will
need on a daily basis. The daily
nutrient goals will be printed at the bottom of each diet
analysis sheet. After each meal or
snack you will be able to subtotal the amount of each nutrient
consumed and see how close
you are coming to reaching or exceeding a particular nutrient
goal and then make whatever
adjustments necessary in order to prevent a dieting catastrophe.
The last thing we will need to know about the client is their
eating and sleeping cycle. But by
knowing this, we will be able to program the client for several
healthy meals and snacks
throughout the day. If you can prepare your client to eat
healthy on their toughest day or
days of the week, then the easy days will be a breeze. Remember,
the key is preparation.
The better you prepare yourself for your own particular lifestyle,
the better the odds will be
in your favor when it comes to dieting.
