Of course, every good health and fitness program will also include a good nutrition component. good nutrition is likely
the most important factor in maintaining ideal body weight and managing weight loss.
there are a variety of schools of thought regarding which nutrition program, diet or eating plan is best. While we do
not promote or endorse any particular one, here are some things to consider that will help you get on the road to a
healthy diet:
Understand caloric balance. how many Calories you intake, and how many Calories you burn off will determine
whether you will gain or lose weight day to day. it is impossible to achieve weight loss without some sort of "Caloric
deficit" that can be obtained through cutting Calories, or burning off more than you take in. the wisest approach is to
do a little of both — cutting Calories and exercising. it is the only proven long-term weight management program that
is successful. you should ensure that you are consuming at least 1,200 Calories per day total. A total weight loss of no
more than 2 pounds per week is recommended for long-term weight management.
Eat a variety of foods. Regardless of your eating plan, you should be sure to include a variety of foods in your diet,
maximizing your intake of fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Colorful meals and snacks that are divided amongst
the 4 food groups will ensure that you obtain the nutrients needed for your body to function at optimal levels. Any diet
that focuses on just one food group source or processed foods can be unhealthy in the long run, and should be avoided.
don't focus too much on any particular meal or snack, but rather on your overall intake of a variety of different foods
during any given day.
Drink water. Our bodies are made up of over 70% water, and most of us don't drink enough. Carry water with you
everywhere you go, and drink as often as you can. this helps the body function at optimum levels, and can significantly
help with weight management.
Eat more often and be mindful of your portions. Research has shown that it can be helpful to eat smaller meals more
often versus 3 larger meals a day if you are looking to promote healthy weight maintenance or weight loss. And we have
discovered that many portions we eat are much larger than necessary, and can be laden with Calories. So, try snacking
more and not eating so many large meals, and share your snacks or food with others (or break your portions in half) to
help manage your Caloric intake.
