Keeping your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. How does one do this? By eating 5-7 small meals each day. Eating appropriate portions of carbs, protein, and fats. Within each category there are different types of choices. Example a meal consisting of large amounts of saturated fats (5 grams or more) would be a poor choice. While poly-unsaturated and mono-unsaturated fats are healthy and provide nutritional benefits to lower cholesterol. LDL (bad cholesterol) HDL (good cholesterol).

Some carbs spike insulin (blood sugar) levels fast. While some provide a sustained level of energy without spiking blood sugar. Examples of choices- Candy bars = bad carbs while a sweet potato is an excellent choice of carbs. Carbohydrates provide the fuel which your body runs on. Taking the correct fuel in will give you the energy your body needs to thrive and excell.

Protein comes in many different types. Again the choices you make determine how your body uses these nutrients. Red meat that is 20% fat is an awful source to get your protein. While X-tra lean turkey or salmon are great sources of protein along with omega fatty acids.

Combining these choices according to your activities for the day ahead. Timing your meals throughout the day. All these factors contribute to your BMI (body mass index) changing over time. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day. All the infomercials promising you fast results are all lying. You didn't get to be 10, 20, 30 or more pounds over weight over night. Your not going to loose it over night. Consistent effort along with a game plan in time WILL get you to your goals. An accumulation of choices that turns from days to months will determine your rate of change in your BMI (body mass index).

You should drink filtered water all day every day. As muscle is constituted of approximately 85% water. Your total body weight is made up of approximately 70-75% water. And your blood is 90% water. I feel the #1 reason for achieving the very low level of body fat I've achieved is that I drank almost exclusively water for liquid. Now combine clean eating cardiovascular training. Dietary supplements with anaerobic and aerobic training. And follow your game plan with dedication and knowledge that every meal every training session brings you closer and closer to the goals you have set for yourself!
