Nutrition is the Foundation of Health & Fitness
We are so excited you have decided to take charge of your health. Your health and wellness should always be a priority, and our free diet plan for weight loss can help you get into the best shape of your life! Our goal is to empower as many people as possible to take control of their health and wellness. What we have found is that most people have access to TOO MUCH information and all the latest “diet info” seems to contradict itself every other month! How is someone supposed to decipher was is actually true and what they should steer clear from? Well, the answer might surprise you in it’s simplicity…
We’ll take the next 5 minutes to first cover the components of a healthy diet and then we’ll discuss our simple, 3-step process to losing weight in the next 30 days!
The Basics of Nutrition
Protein
Protein is key for sustaining lean muscle and losing body fat! We recommend ladies eat between 0.7-1.0g per pound of bodyweight. Guys should eat between 1.0-1.2g per pound.
Fats
Fats play a crucial role in hormone regulation. They are the most calorically dense food at around 9 calories per gram, so they are the easiest "macro" to overeat--but that doesn't mean they are "bad" for you.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are your brain's primary fuel source. Carbohydrates also help with short-term energy, like during your workout, as well as muscle repair after your workout.
Important "Non-Nutritional" Elements
Water
We recommend at least 80 ounces of water a day. Removing or reducing other beverages in your diet will help you shed weight FAST!
Sleep
The only thing more important than water intake is your sleep! You need AT LEAST 7 hours of sleep per night.
Daily Activity
Increasing your daily activity (outside of the gym) will also go a long way in aiding your nutrition goals. We recommend at least 8,000 steps on days you workout and 10,000 steps on days that you do not workout.
3 Steps to A Healthier You!
Step 1
Eat Enough Protein
Ladies should eat between 0.7-1.0g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Guys, eat 1.0-1.5g of protein per body weight. This helps support lean muscle & keeps your metabolism high!
Step 2
Make Your Meals
Making your own food helps ensure that there are no added fats that nearly all “Fast food” and restaurants use. Your goals is to make/eat 90%+ of your meals at home.
Step 3
Drink More Water
Proper hydration is crucial to weight loss. You should aim to drink 80+ ounces of water each day. We’ve seen people lose 10+ pounds in a month by simply switching up what they drink!
