DIET... endless approaches but ultimately one goal. So which approach is best for ...

in #appics5 years ago

... you? Here are some approaches

  1. Track your macros daily. Know your calorie requirements to build muscle and lose body fat

  2. Track your macros short term, understand how many calories you consume then stop tracking and eat with improved awareness of the macro breakdown of food

  3. Don’t track at all. Make estimates and track your progress through how you feel, look and potentially weigh

  4. Fasting - reducing the window in which you eat food. Usually results in less calories consumed which is why it’s used for fat loss. Fine for some, a nightmare for others - lifestyle dependant

  5. Keto - high fat diet. Less quantity of food consumed as fats are higher in calories - less bang for your buck. 1000 kcals of fats is tiny compared to 1000 kcals of carb. Also lifestyle dependant - especially to remain in Ketosis

Despite the approach, these are the things that should be consistent

  1. Exercise for health (mental and physical)

  2. Protein consumption. So many of us under consume protein - essential for our recovery

  3. Hydration

  4. Limit what you sacrifice. If your diet takes away the enjoyment of life - is it the right diet for you

  5. Enjoyment and variety of food
