Nutrition

Nutrition plays a vital role in Body Transformation, as well as Overall Health & Well Being. It is important to eat a well balanced diet with the proper amount of calories from protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It is also very important to have adequate water intake. Proper hydration will increase your body’s ability to utilize stored body-fat as energy during exercise.

At Get In Shape For Women, we will help you develop a customized ‘6 meal a day’ nutrition program that you will be able to follow, 6 days per week. We will help you develop at least 3 options for each of your six meals so that you have some variety. And believe it or not, the 7th day will be your “FREE DAY”! You will have one day per week where you can indulge a little. This is not only normal, but healthy.

By eating 6 small and frequent high quality meals (consisting of fruits & vegetables, 100 grams of high quality lean protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and 8-10 glasses of water, per day), we are able to help many of our clients decrease their daily caloric consumption by approximately 500 calories, or 3,500 calories per week. 1 pound of fat equals approximately 3,500 calories, which means that coupled with a weight training and cardio training program, our program yields close to 2 pounds of body-fat lost per week!
