keys
There are three keys to healthy
nutrition programs. These determine the
effect the food that an individual consumes has on his or her body and
physiological processes. Healthy weight
loss and gain without the loss of lean body mass and not speed should always be
the goal. Losing more than two and a
half pounds per week equates to muscle loss per ACSM.
The first key to healthy programs
is to establish an appropriate, healthy daily caloric intake. The number of calories consumed per day over
time will determine the individual’s weight.
For this reason, a suitable daily caloric intake is very important.
The second key to healthy, and
tailored nutrition programs is to use the appropriate percentages of
macronutrients for reaching individual goals and needs. The percentages used determine how the body
is sculpted. For example, bodybuilders
will sculpt their bodies by using moderate carbohydrates to provide enough
energy to burn body fat and high protein for the dehydration effect. Carbohydrates are needed to burn fat
efficiently, therefore, figure contestants or bodybuilders who severely deplete
or eliminate carbohydrates are not burning fat efficiently, losing muscle, and
sacrificing health. Many people believe
that being in ketosis is a positive thing which is most certainly not the case.
For diabetics, the formation of ketones signifies that their metabolism is very
unhealthy.
The third to healthy nutrition
programs is making good food choices.
Lean sources of protein with an adequate protein to fat ratio is
recommended. Protein sources that are low in saturated fat and provide healthy
fats that produce healthy blood cholesterol and lipid profile are essential for
longevity and quality of life. Excessive
fats of any kind are not generally desired. Appropriate amount and type of
carbohydrates are necessary for an effective program. Moderate to low glycemic index carbohydrates
with an advantageous insulin response are also used for healthy results during
weight loss or lean body mass gain. It has also been recommended that an
individual should consume less than 2300 mgs of sodium per day.
