Here at Body & Life by Nicola, I believe in practicing “eating to lose fat and build muscle.” Contrary to popular belief and many unsafe diet protocols that force people to live on very low calorie diets for prolonged periods of time is not feasible and unsafe practice for any human being living a normal activity lifestyle. This type of dieting is actually known to burn muscle for fuel and lowers the metabolism, and can sometimes force people’s body’s to be put into survival mode, which is not an optimal state for burning fat and building muscle, this is also known as a catabolic state. My program is especially designed to increase metabolism, but it also can be followed for a long sustainable period, or even a lifetime.
Physical activity is an essential part of the Body & Life by Nicola program. Exercise has many benefits. Exercise that consists of resistance training and cardiovascular activity can sustain or build muscle that will increase the body’s resting metabolic rate and in turn can burn fat faster. Exercise burns calories and promotes fat loss, and due to the increased basal metabolic rate, the person’s energy levels will also increase.
My program also promotes living a low fat lifestyle. Fat is a macronutrient that is considered metabolically inactive, and also contains 9 calories per 1 gram. Fat does not help to build muscle, so it does not make sense to consume a high amount of fat other than incidental fats found in the prescribed foods to eat, and supplemental fats from fish oil and CLA.
My program encourages plenty of fresh vegetables of all colors, whole grains, and enough food to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. This program also allows for lean protein sources like chicken, turkey, fish, egg whites, and the occasional lean red meat. Protein is important and vital for maintaining and building muscle. This program calls for removal of full fat dairy products and replace with fat free dairy products, and even unsweetened almond milks. My program calls for removal of fried foods, no cooking with oil or butter, or smothered in high fat/sodium sauces. When preparing food you may steam, bake, grill, roast, microwave or broil. Avoid dressings that are high in fat, sodium, or refined sugar.
Here at Body & Life by Nicola, you should anticipate a lifestyle change and success, as well as RESULTS! With that said, I will move on with this muscle gain program that will promote fat loss and lean muscle gains simultaneously.
