What is the ideal diet?

Because the individual has not a one-size-fits-all nutrition requirement, due to varying anatomical differences, not everybody is going to succeed eating from the same diet.

Some folks would need to have a certain level of this, and a certain level of that in calories and nutrients to keep the body going. For example, a male who is 6 foot 2 inches, has a way different different requirement, than a female who is 5 foot 3 inches. This doesn’t also use height as a differentiating factor, but also weight, muscularity, health conditions, and for sure a vast amount of points to consider when picking a certain diet.

What is the best possible diet for you in order to lose weight? Obviously across the board, you should cut out as much sugars and fats, but also look out for trans fats and cholesterols too. Eat a well balanced diet with enough protein, a balanced load of carbs, and a neccessary level of fats (Fats are all not bad as some are neccessary!)

Proteins: For those who are building up muscle, I would say have 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. If you are bodybuilding, you know the importance of assimilating high, lean amounts of fish, chicken, and lean beef. If you are just maintaining weight, I would stick with 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Vegetables and Fruits: If you are in contest mode, for bodybuilding, limit these to a few daily servings for fat cutting, but in a normal healthy diet intake, have about 4-8 servings a day.

Starches and waste Carbs: Keep these to a minimum, but do not completely eliminate them, unless you are having a cheat day, which should be on a rest day, only one day a week!

Cheat day: Reserve for one day a week!

But, this is a cardboard rendering of what my diet is going to be, once the motivation kicks into high gear and everything else falls into place. I would strongly recommend for you to speak to a nutritionist, a dietician, or a personal trainer before eating any certain type of diet, as i mentioned earlier, not one single diet is for everybody!

WIN AT LIFE AND KICK ASS!

Hello, a new week and yet another Monday. You look at your desk and coming back from that weekend with friends and family, Barbecues, and trips to the shore, you come back to a week full of work and ready to put up with the usual. 

Here at I Live In Success.com I am looking to get into a regular schedule with blogging. Five days a week, Monday through Friday, taking your workday to a whole new level with a new blog post! The new blog schedule contains:

Monday: Weight Loss – My Journey, and of course a few discussions as well

Tuesday: Product Review – Could be anything to make your life better, either through a thinner waist line to a fatter paycheck!

Wednesday: My Journey in Internet Marketing

Thursday: Either a Product Review or something completely off of the wall

Friday: Ferrari’s of the week, where I pinpoint five Ferraris that are for sale!!! Sometimes we will have “editions” which we showcase classic Ferrari’s, Racing Ferraris, and Supercar Ferrari’s to name a few!!!

Well, let’s get to the topic today, The Scare of Diabetes!

Yeah, I have not been watching my weight and as of right now, I have been having issues with sometimes feeling tired after eating. I just end up going upstairs and just drop dead on my bed and fall right asleep.

My brother, who is living with me right now, told me that he was concerned with my health, and that my cousin wants me also to test my blood sugar. My cousin BTW is a diabetic and would hate to see anybody go through such an sickness.

So, I rose from my bed and went downstairs, and my cousin took a drop of blood and tested it. Shockingly to my amazement, my blood sugar was at 168. I almost shit myself and thinking how the heck can I deal with having diabetes. My cousin and brother calmed me down, and told me to take another test in the morning, which I did and my blood sugar was at 108, which could be borderline diabetes.

So, now with this life threatening condition at possibility, I seriously needed to concern myself with my weight and my current lifestyle. Right now my activity is sedentary, as I am working more on the freelance end of things, then rather a labor intensive job. 

The plan here, is to cut some weight, and drink water. I have just about completely cut out all sugar in my diet, and concentrating on a meat and vegetable diet, that eliminates carbs altogether. This is so that I can keep my blood sugar low and regain energy and be able to move around with the added mobility that losing weight allows.

I am also looking into Gyms as well. a great gym, that has some cardio and a nice array of weight lifting equipment as well. I would prefer less of a corporate fitness center, and more of a local mom and pop operation. I require to have both freeweights and machines, as I use both to get the best workout possible.

Next week, I will build and assemble my food menu, which will help me in the dietary end of things. I will discuss how I will prepare the menu and what portion sizes to use.

Have a great week!
