The Best Diet for a Toned Body - In a Nutshell

The best diet for a toned fit body with a nicely toned but (my goal) comes from a mix of protein, fat, fiber, vegetables, fruits, nuts and a controlled number of low-glycemic carbs like oatmeal and sweet potatoes. For protein choose grass-fed meats, organic poultry, free range eggs and high quality whey protein because they have the best amino acid profiles and also contain the most muscle building leucine than milk protein or soy protein.

Make sure your diet is very low in sugar (my area for improvement). Sugar and foods that convert very quickly to sugar like white breads, pastas, rice and potatoes, contribute to fat gain, not muscle gain, which is what you don't need if you want smooth celulite free thighs. Lean protein, healthy fat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains will give your body the nuttients it needs to build and tone your muscles without adding unwanted fat.

I will be making adjustments to my diet over the next couple weeks to meet this goal.

Day 1

The holidays got to me. I didn't over eat, and I worked out here and there but I could not stay focused on my fitness and diet the way I planned.

My son had a good Christmas and he is enjoying his time off, so that matters. Today is 1/1/2009, it is time for me to get on track. I'm going to my gym today to remind them of who I am! LOL

I am also going to dust off my food journal, and start using it because that is the only way I find that I can successfully change my diet and stay consistent.

Happy New Year, Happy New Me!
