Chapter IV

Diet and Nutrition

This will be the most important section of this entire book. Everyone will tell you that fitness is 20% what you do in the gym and 80%. I humbly disagree. You can still be in amazing shape and not workout very intensely. As long as you eat healthy and maintain a healthy calorie balance, you can lose weight and feel amazing. People say you are what you eat and it is literally true. The cells in your body use the stuff that you eat to recreate its cells from your skin to your muscles to your hair; everything you eat becomes what you are.

In order for us to comprehend what it is that we must be aware of and what our diet must look like, we must first understand the basics with proficient clarity. Therefore, we will start from the beginning and cover everything from what a calorie is to what you eat and its effect on the body.

First things first, a calorie is not something that exists solely within your food. A calorie (or Kcal) is a scientific measurement of energy. A calorie is the amount of energy that is required to warm 1000 grams of water by one degree Celsius. The amount of calories in your food is the amount of energy your body is able to use to keep you alive by contracting your diaphragm so you can breathe and your heart to keep pumping and to regulate your body temperature. All of the bodily functions that your brain is able to automate are done with calories!

The reason why this is important to understand that principle is because in order for us to be able to gain the results that we desire (gain muscle or lose body fat), the simplest way to be able to do so is caloric manipulation. We have a certain number of calories that we will consistently burn every single day. As I mentioned earlier, the easiest way to gage your baseline caloric intake is to look up on your search engine an online calculator where you can plug in your stats and it will tell you the exact number of calorie that you want to be consuming for your goals! For my fellow nerds out there, like me, I love to be precise. I love to control everything I am able to control. That way, if I fail, it is to my own accord. I will not let chance be an effect in the likelihood of my success or failure.
