Keys to Your Best Body

Diet Key Number One
The optimum diet to achieve the lean, healthy, fit, best body follows the "321" guideline.
This means that each day you should strive to consume:
3 parts carbohydrates
2 parts protein
1 part fat.
Following this simple guideline for a healthy diet should make it very easy to calculate your meal content, even if you are eating out.
It is most convenient to break these portions down by calorie but, you can also use gram weight by following these easy formulas:
Fat - 9 calories per gram
Protein - 4 calories per gram
Carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram
There are three optimum food groups to provide you with your daily carbohydrates:
A. Fruits and Vegetables
B. Whole Grains
C. Potatoes
As with all aspects of our diet we are striving to consume a balance of carbohydrates eaach day.
One of the main keys to achieving your best body is to try to avoid highly refined carbohydrates. Refined sugars and other heavily processed carbohydrates that are broken down quickly will trick our body into making us feel hungry again before we really need to eat.
No aspects of any diet are 100% set in stone. If you are looking to strictly burn fat to achieve your best body you may want to try reducing the carb portion slightly and increase the protein portion. Be careful though! Carbs are your primary source of energy and too few carbs can cause drastic energy spikes, headaches and even trouble sleeping.
If you are working on building large quantities of lean muscle mass you may want to increase the protein portion without reducing the fat or carbohydrate portion in order to give the muscles the nutrition they need to recover and grow. Whether your best body is achieved through trimming or building start with thebasic 321 and adapt to your optimum ratio.
