I have been told by some, that sending an electric charge through your body daily, may not be the best for it.

Before I begin my new year’s diet, it would be good to finally know what the ideal weight for my individualy body is. I’m near Richmond, Virginia if anyone knows of a specific business, otherwise I’m just looking for examples to get me started in my search.

The 5 Components to Body Composition Change – Part 1
Posted by: | Comments
Milton Yates asked:
Most people that begin to think about changing their habits wonder exactly where they should start. There are 5 Major Components to Body Composition Change: Nutrition, Cardiovascular Exercise, Supplementation, Weight Resistance Training, and Professional Assistance. It is very important to understand why we focus more on body composition as opposed to weight. The fact is that NOBODY knows how much you weigh except you and your doctor and NOBODY cares. Therefore, it does not matter what you weigh; what matters is how you feel and how you look in your clothes. That’s it! These 5 components focus on just that. Trust me.
Today we are only going to deal with the first and most important component and that is Nutrition. It does not matter whether you are trying to gain weight, lose weight, or stay exactly where you are; nutrition is the critical. 75% of how you look, is what you eat.
Here are the basics. Initially, HOW you eat is much more important than WHAT you eat. Here are today’s tips:
* More than 55% of your calories should come from carbohydrates
* Less than 30% of your calories should come from fat
* Your protein intake in grams should be 80% of your body weight in kg (to determine your weight in kg, divide your body weight in lbs by 2.2)
* Consume less than 2400mg of sodium per day
* Eat every 3 hours while awake (every time you digest you burn calories)
* Eat more times, not more food
* Portion Control: Your body can metabolize a certain amount of calories at one sitting. The metabolic process involves digestion and the use of energy. Anything that your body does not metabolize WILL get stored as FAT.
* You CAN eat before you go to sleep, eating before you go to sleep does not make you GAIN weight, and Eating more is the BEST way to lose weight.
Check out my portion control guide below:
Beef, Poultry, and Venison
One serving = 3 ounces Roughly the size of a deck of cards or 2 cassette tapes
Fish, Shellfish, and Mollusks
One serving = 3 ounces Roughly the size of a checkbook
Starches
Two servings = 1 cup of rice or pasta is the size of a tennis ball, ice cream scoop
One serving= 1 pancake is the size of a compact disc (CD)
One serving= 1/2 cup cooked rice is the size of a cupcake wrapper full
One serving =1 piece of cornbread is the size of a bar of soap
One serving=1 slice of bread is the size of an audio cassette tape
One serving =1 cup of cereal flakes is the size of a fist
