The power of the right diet

Let’s answer the first question right away; of course, the right kind of food can help you gain muscle, lose fat, recover faster, you name it. Basically, you can do wonders by eating the right kind of food. Not only it affects the shape of your body, but it also influences each of the body systems. Your diet can make a difference between a healthy body and a sick one; it can boost your immune system, but it can also damage it when you eat bad stuff.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying you’ll get a nice athletic body just by eating the right kinds of food – that is impossible! It cannot be achieved without performing the right kind of exercises. However, you can definitely influence the body fat percentage by avoiding certain types of food. And if you read our most popular article, Get Six Pack Abs from Home, you know that you’re one step closer to having six-pack abs as soon as you cut down your body fat.

Nutrition basics

As you probably already know, all of the ingredients we eat are built of smaller building blocks – molecules. Those come in different types and sizes. To learn some useful information about macronutrients and micronutrients and what kind of food is good for the human body system, you should really check out our post Nutrition basics. It will enable you to get the best out of each meal, stay healthy, and feel great. If nothing else, it will make it easier for you to fully understand this post.

Basic diet guidelines

To get the best out of your diet (health and body shape wise; those two are very closely linked) you should stick to the following guidelines:

  • Eat diverse food.
  • Try to divide your daily food consumption into at least 5 meals (every snack counts as a meal).
  • Don’t skip breakfast.
  • Eat at least half plate of fruits and veggies every day. The best are fresh ones, the second alternative are frozen ones. Avoid canned ones, since they usually contain a lot of processed sugar.

The more you eat green, the more you get lean. Dr. Joel Fuhrman

  • Drink at least 0.5+ gallons (2+ liters) of water per day.
  • Avoid processed sugars and refined grains. Every time you feel like eating something sweet go for a fruit.

  • Limit bad fats and avoid ugly fats.
  • Limit alcohol consumption to one standard drink per day.
  • Avoid soft drinks and processed fruit juices.
  • Keep carbs intake below 65 % of your total daily calories.
  • Make sure that 20 – 30 % of your daily calories intake are fats (mostly good fats).
  • Proteins should make up for at least 25 – 30 % of your daily calories intake.

Remember: I’ve never heard of anyone who’d regret switching to healthy food. Furthermore, healthy food can be super tasty you just have to find the combinations and ingredients you like. Even pizza can be healthy if made the right way!

For the fans of unhealthy food: Scientists claim that sticking to a healthy diet 80 % of the time is good enough (NOT PERFECT!) to keep our body healthy. 😉

In addition to the basic diet guidelines listed above:

  • Include as many of the above-listed food as possible into your daily diet.
