Balanced Nutrition: Do You Have It?

Balance is an important ideal. Most of us want to have a healthy balance of our time between things such as work or career, relationships (family and friends), recreation and hobbies, etc. We want to have a balanced checkbook. In order to walk from point a to point b we require balance or we’d topple over. And throughout our lives we’ve heard about how important having a balanced diet is to our health. Well, anyone who knows me knows I am not a fan of the word “DIET”, so I very rarely use it. When I am coaching clients on improving their nutrition, we talk about BALANCED NUTRITION.

Most of our American friends eat any way but BALANCED. With the skyrocketing obesity amongst all age groups and the 400, 000 plus people that die prematurely each year as a result of diseases directly related to poor nutrition and lack of physical exercise, I wonder if very many people even know what BALANCED NUTRITION looks like? I can tell you that it doesn’t look like how the majority of America eats. I know there is a gap between knowing and doing. People may know what to do, but for whatever reason are not doing it OR people may just be ignorant as to how to eat healthily and care for their precious, priceless bodies. It is true that we aren't born with a "how to care for.." tag attached, unlike those new jeans I just bought. Regardless, I am here to shed some light on Balanced Nutrition.

Most American’s are taking in far more calories then they are expending, hence the obesity epidemic. In order to achieve an ideal body weight, a person must BALANCE energy intake with energy output. To achieve optimal health and fitness, a person must balance eating the right foods, in the right amounts, at the right times. At the each meal there should be a balance of the three macronutrients – Carbohydrates, Protein, & Fat. When the macronutrients are balanced appropriately at each meal and throughout the day, the result is great energy all day, little to no craving for unhealthy foods, a feeling of satiety, and steady blood sugar levels.

If you are “ready and willing” to bridge the gap between knowing and doing and to become more nutritionally BALANCED, then read on....
