PUSH.tv nutrition is about portion control and eating as many natural whole foods as possible. Our simple, common sense approach to diet and nutrition works in conjunction with our fitness plan to deliver the basis for a healthy lifestyle. At PUSH.tv, we believe that lifestyle changes work better than weight loss fads and trendy diets. We'll show you how to make some simple adjustments to your diet so that the food you eat goes to work for you as the fuel for a happier, fuller life!

PUSH.tv nutrition will give you the tools, knowledge and know-how to fuel your body for optimal performance. There are four key principles that we take into consideration when developing a client's nutritional plan: Proportions of nutrients, Portion control, Nutrient Density and Food Timing.

Proportions of nutrients: Focuses on choosing a variety of nutrients at each meal and snack. By combining high fiber carbohydrates, lean protein and "good" fat you not only achieve a well-balanced meal but your blood sugar will be stabilized, you'll feel more satisfied for a longer period of time and you'll have increased energy.

Portion control: This is vital to any nutrition plan. We do not believe in eliminating any food group or depriving yourself of your favorite foods! The key is to eat with portion control in mind and to eat smaller portions more regularly throughout the day.

Nutrient Density: Choosing foods full of important nutrients rather than eating empty calories. For example: 100 calories worth of jelly beans vs. 100 calories worth of apple slices. The jelly beans provide no nutritional benefit, while the apple provides fiber and other important vitamins and minerals and is therefore the wiser, more nutrient dense choice. (That one's a no-brainer; there are plenty of trickier ones we'd like to fill you in on, too!)

Food timing teaches you to eat throughout the day. You should imagine your body has a fire that is lit every morning with breakfast. That fires needs fuel throughout the day to keep on burning. If you let yourself get too hungry the fire begins to dwindle. In general, we believe eating 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day is optimal. In fact, we believe that snacks are VITAL! Healthy snacking keeps your energy level and metabolism revved up. Plus, you enter the next meal at a good hunger level - not starving - which usually leads to making wiser food choices.
