fitness guru and Nick Robinson is
sharing her secrets to a healthy
lifestyle hi I’m Veronica with
watchmojo.com and today we’re taking a
look at the first step Nutrition you
cannot neglect your nutrition because
even if you’re doing all the rest
correctly and you are exercising
vigorously on a regular basis if you are
not eating well your body may not even
react to your exercise program so then
what should your plate look like you
want to make sure that you’re not having
like I see a lot of people a lot of
coffee so liquid meals and then maybe
one gigantic meal at the end of the day
and you’d be surprised at how many
people that’s their typical day but you
want to make sure that you are actually
having multiple meals during the day and
that you’re having optimally not more
than about say this much in your meals
but you may want to have six to eight of
those meals during the day and you have
to remember your stomach is about the
size of your fist so if you’re having
enormous portions your body can’t even
begin to process that meal so you want
to feed your body what it can use for
the next little while and your
metabolism starts to understand that you
don’t need to store because there’s
another meal coming now you’ve discussed
portion sizes with me before what should
each portion look like the eye to
portion should be about the size of your
own or home so about the size of your
palm and about the thickness of your
palm and if you’re having really dense
proteins like a nut butter of some kind
you want to make sure that it’s about
what would fit into the scoop of your
palm will this make eating become a
chore the truth is you actually quickly
become used to eating good healthy foods
and sometimes when you’re eating all
these chemicals you actually numb your
palate and when you stop eating bad
foods it’s like your palate recharges
itself and you start appreciating good
foods in it
wait does that mean you won’t be able to
go out with your friends to a restaurant
what you want to avoid are very rich
sauces you want to avoid the foods that
are heavily transformed like pastas and
things with potatoes and things that are
fried and I have a trick for my clients
as I make sure that once they walk into
a restaurant no matter what restaurant
it is that they already know in their
mind what they’re going to order so most
the times I don’t really look at the
menu I’ll ask the waiter I’ll say what’s
the cleanest food you have on your menu
do you have something that has a lot of
greens and maybe a nice portion of lean
protein and most waiters will say oh we
have the most wonderful fish that just
came in and then I don’t need to look at
the menu and get tempted because most
people have great intentions and then
they get sidetracked by impulses now
there’s everything organic today does
that mean organic junk food is a
healthier option well you might think so
but really organic junk food is junk
food so if you have organic chips
there’s still chips if you have organic
candy bar it’s still a candy bar now
we’re at fake Market which is an organic
Bistro key shows what types of food
we’ll find at a place like this
absolutely in fact some of my favourite
organic food is right here so let’s talk
about some choices most people have to
make on a daily basis you come up to a
lunch counter and you have to make your
choice what are you going to have for
lunch so for example if we take this
selection we have some beautiful organic
salmon and then so I want to have about
this much protein in my meal and I want
to have about a handful of vegetables
and look for something like this bright
green organic broccoli if I’ve had a
really good exercise day then I can
allow myself to have a little bit of
starch but I want to have organic starch
and I won’t have the right kind of
starches so I’m gonna look for wild
Rice’s quinoa legumes we might see for
example some nice
potato a nice starch that is low on the
glycemic level which means that there’s
not a lot of blood sugar that will react
to this kind of food one of the harder
choices for breakfast for example well
you might want to do the same type of
logic about that much protein maybe that
much vegetables or fruit for example
hard-boiled egg with a piece of fruit
or how about stirring up some eggs with
some spinach would be the perfect
breakfast or a slice of organic ham when
I’m in a rush I might choose something
for example like a handful of nuts with
a piece of fruit or if I want to do
something delicious and decadent
I’ll choose something like an organic
cashew butter and put it on a banana and
is really healthy
