Introduction
First, thank you for taking the time to register for “body by bounce nutrition Page | 2
system 1”. I am very excited to be sharing this information with you and hope that
you will get a lot out of it.
The goal of this eBook is to shed some light on the misinformation out there on
nutrition as well as give you a very simple plan to follow.
I hope that this information gives you some of the tools necessary to reach your
health and fitness goals!
Please allow me to introduce myself and the events leading up to the writing of
this eBook.
I currently hold certifications in Personal Training, Pre/Post Natal Specialist and
Holistic Nutrition (CHN), and I have been a certified “Gym Rat” for over 20 years.
The reason I got into health and fitness was because my Dad passed away at
the age of 42 in 1988 from a major heart attack, when I was only 16 years old.
Back then people did not understand how nutrition affected the body like we do
today so we tended to eat a lot of fried and rich foods. We also ate huge portions.
After he passed away, I started training like crazy as I wanted to make sure that I
did not end up in the same situation in my early 40’s.
Well, 40 is fast approaching and I have to say that I am in the best shape of my
life. Now the ultimate goal for me is to help as many people as possible achieve
their goals and dreams of a healthy lifestyle. This eBook is one way to do that.
I hope you enjoy the read and am super excited to be able to show you just how
easy nutrition can be.

Breakfast:
This is the most important meal of the day because it quite literally “breaks the
fast” from the night before. Usually you eat your last meal around 6-7pm and
then you go to bed for 8-10 hours on average. When you wake up, your body is
very hungry and needs to be fed right away. Also your metabolism is in high gear
at this time of day so you need to feed your body to keep the metabolism revved
up or it slows down. What I just told you about your metabolism is one of the
biggest secrets to attaining any of your health and fitness goals! We will go into
more detail on the metabolism later.
Portion Control:
Usually when you sit down to eat you are not going to eat again for 4 or 5 hours,
so you load up your plate with as much as you can possibly eat. There are many
problems with this. First, your brain does not get the signal that you are full until
you are actually WAY past full. Second, your body can only use so many
nutrients and calories in one sitting so the rest typically goes to fat stores.
Now here is where we have to change the way you think. Your meal should
consist of a fist sized portion of protein, carbohydrates and vegetables. So cut
your plate into a 3-piece pie and use each slot for a portion of one of the three.

Meal Planning:
As I said above, planning your meals is absolutely imperative for you to be
successful in your quest for a healthy lifestyle. For example, how many times
have you left your eating for too long and now you are starving and the first thing
that pops into you head is “mmmmm FAST FOOD” or something else quick and
convenient but not necessarily healthy. The best way to avoid this is to plan
ahead. I do a lot of batch cooking at home. What I mean is that I cook enough
food to last me a few days at a time, and then I do not have to think about where
my next meal is coming from.
Supplements:
In reality you should be able to get almost 100% of your RDA (recommended
daily allowance) in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, fats and minerals from
healthy whole food choices. I will not suggest any supplements at this time, but if
you think you are deficient please check with your doctor before adding
supplements into your diet. Some vitamins can become toxic if taken in too high
of doses.
Water:
Our need for water is so obvious that it is often taken for granted. Without it our
days are limited to about 6. This essential nutrient is often forgotten and many
people do not drink enough of it. Here are some reasons why you should drink
between 7-10 8oz glasses of water each day, depending on size and
bodyweight.
` Our body is made up of 60-70% water.
` Water is in every cell of your body.
` Water is needed to carry nutrients to the cells and waste products away.
` Water acts as the body’s cooling system.
` Many chemical reactions in the body rely on water.
` Water is used in energy formation.
