Nutrition

Carbohydrates (Carbs)

Complex Carbs
- gives longer energy

Eat in small portions throughout the day!
Oatmeal, potatoes, grits, brown rice, lentils, sweet potatoes, whole wheat break, chickpeas and pits.

Asparagus, squash, broccoli, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, lettuce, red/green peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and zucchini.

Simple Carbs
- immediate energy
- 20-30 min after workout, In order to recover
- Released too fast into the blood stream, can be stored as fat if not burned.

Bananas, grapes, skim milk
Apples, pears, cantaloupes, oranges, cherries, strawberries, grapefruits, lemons, nectarines and peaches.

Fruits slow down fat loss, Fructose can be stored as fat. Consume only after exercise

Protein

Every tissue of our body consists of protein!
- Increases metabolism by 20% when consumed
- Consume 1 gram to lean body mass.

Best sources of protein: Salmon, halibut, cod, round steak, chicken breast, tuna (packed in water), sardines, turkey breast, whey protein, egg substitute, skim milk.

Fats
Fats needed to lubricate joints, and production of hormones.

Saturated fats : BAD
- Factor of high cholesterol levels and heart disease.
- Vegetable oils, coconut nut oil, palm oil, and pam kernel oil
Polyunsaturated fats: OKAY
- Okay for cholesterol levels.
- Corn oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil.

Monounsaturated fats: GOOD
- Rise good levels of cholesterol.
- Fish oils, virgin olive oil, canola oil, flaxseed oil, safflower oil and natural peanut butter.

Water: 0.66*lean body mass= how many ounces of water.

How to eat:

Eat small meals throughout the day. That will increase your metabolism.

Starving doesn�t help, if u go 3-4 hours without food your body switches to a catabolic state, a condition in which you lose muscle/water and gain fat.

Eat 5-6 Small Meals a day!

Think of your body like a car, u want to give it just enough gas to keep moving. Too much food at once will be stored for later, as fat.

Avoid meals that don�t have a balance of nutrients, like only Carbs (pasta).

Cooking tips:
- eat veggies raw or steamed. Over cooking loses its nutrients
- Never Fry
- Trip fat and skin from meats.
- Don�t use salt, butter, oils, or sugar when cooking.
- Try non-salt seasoning, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and paper, wine, salsa, soy sauce.

Drinking: Water
NO: non diet soda, fruit juices( even all natural)
OK: tea, coffee ( in moderation), a little wine 

Strive for consistency, not perfection!

Great Post .. Listen to this man, he knows whats up!

Ideally yea, you want to eat small controlled meals every 2.5-3h. Include veggies (unlimited wthin a diet), one carb & a protein within your meal. Eating like this constantly keeps your metabolism working all day to help constantly burn unwanted fat .. spicy food is also great for the metabolism, & aids by helping to burn off cancers in the body

Green Veggies are anti-oxidents & water tightens your skin, helps with overall definition .. remember that sugary drinks only make fat cells fatter!

Drink about 3 L of water a day, sounds like a lot, but just drink througout the day .. if you're only drinking when you're thirsty, yo've waited to long to drink .. you want to keep hydrated all day .. oh & as for all the runs to the washroom, lol .. your body will eventually get used to all the extra water your feeding it & level off
