The Body For Life Diet Plan
Eating For Life

Eating for life is the term given to the diet plan that should be followed when useing the body for life program. Nutrition is so important when it comes to changing your body. Correct nutrition is not just important for building muscle and burning fat but can also have changes in your mood and energy levels.

Nutrition will account for around 70% of body building success, and those of you who have tried training programs in the past without following any nutritional advice will know how hard getting results is.

The body for life diet plan see's you consuming 6 meals a day with foods from the authorised food lists which are provided in the training book. The body for life challenge is basically a full workout and nutrition program.

At first eating 6 times a day seems a bit extreme, but dont worry this is all done for a reason, and you will actually burn fat eating more often. Think of your metabolism as a fire, if you throw all your logs (food) on in one go you will burn out and the fire will dispapear after a while. If you evenly space out your logs (meals) then you can keep the fire (metabolism) burning all day long.

If your goal is building muscle then the principles of the body for life diet plan will help you do this by providing your muscles with high protein foods at regular intervals which is what it needs to grow.

Here are the basic principles of the body for life diet plan.

1) Eat 6 times a day
This dose not mean 6 full meals. A meal could be classed as a protein shake or meal replacement powder.

2) Combine carbohydrates and protein in every meal
A meal should consist of one portion of protein and one portion of carbohydrate. A portion is roughly the size of your fist.

3) Plan your meals
Always plan your meals the day or week before, have the food ready and prepared so you do not miss a meal.

4) Eat your greens
Vegetables should be part of atleast two meals daily.

5) Supplementation
Supplement your diet with flax seed oil and a good quality meal replacement powder.

6) Little and often
Your meals should be between two and three hours apart, plan the times in advance.

Creating a meal is easy just pick one item from each and prepare it how you wish. On top of this one day a week (sunday) is a free day and you can eat whatever you like.

All of the principles for the body for life diet plan are covered in the body for life book. If you require more information and more example meals then there is a sepearte 'Eating For Life' book you can buy for about $12 this is avaliable at all good book shops and online and contains lots of meal examples and comprehensive nutritional information. I have not got a copy of this book but have flicked through it at the book store and from what i saw it was fairly impressive.

Example of a body for life diet plan

Breakfast: Omellette + whole wheat toast
Snack: Meal replacement powder (MRP)
Lunch: Chicken breast + Steamed rice
Snack : MRP
Dinner: Tuna + Pasta
Snack: MRP

MRP = Meal Replacment Powder which is basically a protein shake but contains more protein, vitamins and minerals. This are used throughout the program as it is endorsed by a supplement company and they want you to use their products.

Vegetables should be included with 2 or 3 of your meals each day and these will provide you with the vitamins and minerals you need for a healthy body.
