Day 7 of 31 To Your IdealShape: 40/30/30

Tweak, Tweak, Tweak until you find the solutions that will help you achieve your IdealShape. That’s why we are taking 31 Days to reveal all the things you should be doing to get to your IdealShape.
Today is the third day since I discussed tracking your nutrition. These days should have been revealing in regards to what you are eating and in what quantities.
Are you eating the right things in the right quantities to get to your IdealShape?
Starting with the basics, I want you to look at the percentages of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats you are eating each day. Most people will find that their carbohydrate and fat levels are high. We live in a carbohydrate heavy society. Almost anything quick and easy to eat has high amounts of carbs and very little protein. Tracking is going to provide you with good feedback on what is in the foods you eat, and it will direct you in your meal choices.
Our recommendation is that you decrease your intake of carbohydrates and increase your intake of lean proteins and healthy fats. 40% Carbohydrates, 30% Protein, and 30% Fats is my recommendation for my introductory clients. Make sure that each meal you eat is balanced and that your total for the day is close to these percentages.
In future posts I will discuss what foods will not only get you the right macro-nutrients but also the micro-nutrients that determine long-term health.
