NUTRITION
At Bodies by Hoffman, we have two ways to help you with the nutrition aspect of your program. We have a registered dietician on board to help you customize your nutrition program. The other method we have success with is journaling and feeedback from your trainer.
Here are some general guidelines to follow for successful fat loss, muscle gain and body reshaping:
-
Always remember it is an energy balance equation. Less calories going in than being used will result in weight loss; more calories going out will result in weight gain. As a rule of thumb, men should be eating around 1800 to 2200 calories a day with an exercise program to lose body-fat. Women should be around 1300 to 1700 calories a day.
-
Eat 4 to 6 small meals a day. Important for keeping blood sugar levels even.
-
Eat whole foods as much as possible. This maintains a high nutrition value and avoids empty calories.
-
Combine a protein and carbohydrate every meal. It is also good for maintaining blood sugar levels.
-
Eat fiber rich carbohydrates. Whole wheat bread, brown rice, etc... Look at the fiber content. 3 grams of fiber or more per serving is good.
-
Include omega 3 fatty acids daily in your diet. Salmon and flax seed are good sources.
- And of course, journal. You cannot make the adjustments you need without knowing where you are.
Follow these simple to follow suggestions and you will see your body change. You will feel better too!
