| Custom Nutrition Plans |
 Have you be putting in countless hours exercising and still not seeing the results you would like? You may notice that others at the gym may be facing the same struggles as you. Month after month and sometimes year after year, some of your fellow gym members seem to be showing little gains compared to the time that is being put into training. It usually comes down to nutrition. No matter how motivated and determined you are to exercise, your nutrition is the next piece of the puzzle to reach your fitness goals.But you watch what you eat and make healthy food choices right? So how could it  be your diet? Everyone is different and has different nutritional requirements. For some , it is the size of the portions. They think they are eating the right portions, but are not. For others it is the frequency of meals. Many of us were raised with the idea that three meals a day is the standard. In actuality, 5 to 6 small meals spread throughout the day is more appropriate. Another common mistake is consuming the wrong proportions of nutrients (carbohydrates/proteins/fat). You must consume the proper proportions of nutrients to increase lean muscle, while decreasing fat. Other people say, “But I hardly eat anything. My diet can’t be the problem.” Believe it or not, overeating isn’t the only way to increase body fat. If you do not eat frequently enough, several things can occur. First, by skipping meals you will find yourself extremely hungry when you do decide to eat. This often results in overeating and eating the wrong types of foods. It’s all about maintaining your blood sugar level. Eating large meals spikes insulin levels and causes food to be stored as fat. Another problem with skipping meals is that you are also skipping your protein. Protein is very important for building and sustaining lean muscle. If you don’t take in enough protein, your body will compensate by breaking down your muscle for amino acids. A decrease in muscle mass will result in a lower metabolism, creating a downward spiral.
