DIET
Use the “palm” method as an approximation.
1 PALM : Protein – thickness and size of the palm of your hand is about the same volume as the amount of protein per meal. For snacks use about 1\3 – 1\2 of your palm for protein.
Sources of Protein: Whey/Soy protein shakes, chicken breasts, eggs, lean beef and lamb, low fat cheese (ricotta, cottage), turkey breasts, tofu, fish (salmon, tuna), nuts (almonds, brazil, cashews mixed together are a great snack), also high protein/low carbs bars are an ideal snack.
2 PALMS: Carbohydrate – use the same method as above, except have 2 palms of good carbs or one palm of poor carbs. Good carbs are higher in fibre, lower in total carbohydrate and low glycaemic. Which means they won’t increase blood sugar/insulin levels dramatically.
Sources of Carbohydrates: Vegetables, sprouts, fruit and grains.
Poor choice carbs (only one palm each) – Breads, rice (use only brown rice, basmati or aborio), wholemeal pasta, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, oatmeal and bread types listed above.
FATS: use 1-2 teaspoons of “liquid fat”, or 1-2 tablespoons of “solid fat” per meal.
Sources of fat: Almond butter, nuts, avocadoes, tahini, olives, olive oil, flaxseed oil and fish oils.
