<p>The area of fitness which is the most confusing is nutrition. In general, people are clueless when it comes to what goes into their body, and even more lost when it comes to putting the proper things into it. Although nutrition may seem like an overwhelming subject, it is actually a very simple concept. After you master the basics, you will see how easy it is, and youll be on the fast track to diet success.</p>

<p>Nutrients:</p>
<p>A) Macronutrients (Fats, Carbohydrates, and Proteins)</p>
<p>Fat- this nutrient has a negative stigma, and lives up to it when consumed in excess. However, fat happens to be both essential to the body, and extremely beneficial when consumed in moderation. There are various types of fat in foods, the trick is differentiating between the positive and negative types.</p>
<p>DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAT:</p>
<p>Saturated Fat- a potentially harmful fat that is derived from animal products such as meat, poultry, lard, and whole milk. It is best to avoid this fat as much as possible. Saturated fat has been linked to such health hazards as high cholesterol and heart disease.</p>
<p><img src="https://pp.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/498b5/tZ3tRI2_U60.jpg" width="960" height="719"/></p>
<p>Trans Fat- this fat has garnered a great deal of press lately, and &nbsp;it has been listed on the nutrition facts on packages. This fat is very similar to Saturated fat, and should be avoided when possible too. Trans fat is found in Margarine and Butter.</p>
<p>Monounsaturated Fat- a better type of fat that does not have the harmful health risks that come with saturated fats, and may lower cholesterol when used in place of them. These healthier fats are found in Peanut Oil as well as Olive Oil.</p>
<p>Polyunsaturated Fat- these are the popular Omega-3 Fatty Acids that are found in Seafood, mainly fatty fish like Salmon. Oils are another source of Polyunsaturated fats(fish, safflower, corn, canola, sesame, flaxseed, soybean). Research hints that this fat may prevent heart disease as well as certain cancers.</p>
<p>Carbohydrates- this nutrient has caught a bad name as of late, and there have been countless diets constructed that call for their elimination(Atkins). These radical diets were, and are a quick fat loss fix to the rapidly growing problem of obesity in the United States. Carbs happen to be the bodies preferred energy source, and ward off ketosis, which is a state of weakness, nausea, and dehydration. Eliminating carbs from your diet is not the answer, but being able to identify which Carbohydrate types are beneficial, and which are not will greatly improve your diets results.</p>
<p>DIFFERENT KINDS OF CARBOHYDRATES:</p>
<p>Complex Carbohydrates(Starches)- these are the beneficial carbs that will provide energy and are packed with vitamins and minerals, while being low in fat and high in fiber. The best sources for these carbs are Whole Grains, Vegetables, and Legumes(beans, peas).</p>
<p>Simple Carbohydrates(Sugars)- these types of carbs offer no benefit to the body because they contain nothing more than calories with the exception of Fruit. Simple carbs usually contain no real vitamins or minerals, rendering them useless. These carbs are also processed at an extremely fast rate, which leaves the body no choice but to store them as fat. Common sources of Simple carbs are Fruits, Honey, Sugar, Corn Syrup, and Molasses. A name for a sugar that is particularly bad is High-Fructose Corn Syrup, arguably the worst carb out there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://pp.userapi.com/c638228/v638228418/227e6/iI1MEDULAvg.jpg" width="686" height="806"/></p>
<p>Protein- an essential part of any diet that promotes health and well-being, while maintaining an active lifestyle. There are 20 total Amino Acids, 9 being essential, and they must be obtained from food. Protein supplies these essential Amino Acids, which are the driving force behind the repairing, rebuilding, and maintenance of your muscle tissue. Proteins are also a major percentage of all body tissues, which dictate hormone and enzyme production. Daily protein consumption should vary anywhere from 0.6 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight.</p>
<p>DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROTEIN:</p>
<p>Whey Protein- this is a manufactured protein that is used in protein supplements, and has maximum absorption into the body.</p>
<p>Egg Protein- most abundantly found in the whites of the egg, this has a high absorption rate as well.</p>
<p>Animal Protein- any protein that comes from animal meat such as poultry and meat.</p>
<p>Dairy Protein- the protein in milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. This type of protein has a slow digestion process and is beneficial in warding of the catabolic effects of fasting, especially during sleep.</p>
<p>B) Micronutrients (Vitamins, Minerals, and Water)</p>
<p>Vitamins- complex chemical substances that form a close partnership with protein produced enzymes to help regulate the bodys processes.</p>
<p>VITAMIN GROUPS:</p>
<p>Water-Soluble- these vitamins dissolve in water, and include Vitamins C and B. Excess of these vitamins are excreted through urine, sometimes causing a bright, unnatural color.</p>
<p><img src="https://pp.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/4989b/rZXQry_j3oY.jpg" width="1080" height="1080"/></p>
<p>Fat-Soluble- fat is needed in order to dissolve these vitamins, so they are able to be stored by the body. Examples of Fat-Soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K.</p>
<p>Minerals- serve a similar function as Vitamins do by working in partnership with other nutrients, such as enzymes in order to regulate all bodily processes, and are parts of many cells such as bones, teeth, and nails.</p>
<p>Water- the liquid that is responsible for approximately 55-75% of your body weight, and aids in a plethora of other bodily functions as well. Water regulates your bodys processes of carrying nutrients and chemicals to your cells, as well as carrying waste out of your body. Water also lubricates your joints, and helps prevent dehydration, which can cause sugar cravings, fatigue(hurting a workout), and faulty body temperature regulation, or overheating. It is recommended that you drink 8, 8 ounce glasses of water a day for a total of 64 ounces, which is close to a gallon.</p>

What you are doing is really working for you though. Don't change what you're doing.
