The Fit Aussie Diet

Congratulations, you have finally come to the one dietary guide that sets the record straight. The 'Fit Aussie' diet is a dietary assessment based upon the only acknowledge leader in dietary guidance and that is the United States Department of Agricultures (USDA). It is then backed up with some simple logic based on biological realities and presented in a format that clearly defines what an appropriate diet is, and what an appropriate diet isn't. All of this information can be read in our free book called The 'Fit Aussie Guide' which can be downloaded for free by clicking the link below. The book is a few years old now and was prepared in a caloric format. Stay tuned for a upgraded 'You Tube' version to be prepared later this year.

Diet basics

The 'Fit Aussie Diet' is quite simply a dietary assessment that breaks down and assess your diet.

Firstly you must understand that you will have a daily caloric limit (or Kilojules or points depending on your assessment process). If you overeat and don't burn off the excess you get fat, its that simple. Obviously if you have high levels of physical activity, an increased intake is permitted. The caloric guide is listed on our downloadable charts.

Secondly you must understand that the body is a biological organism that requires an intake of energy and nutrients, nothing more, nothing less. Our biology, and our most commonly accepted international guides, indicate that the small regular format of eating is the most appropriate way of providing for biological need. As a biological system, if your body it gets what it needs, it is happy. If you give it more in any one meal, you set the template for increasing body fat due to overeating. If you don't give it want it wants, it can take it from existing stores such as muscle and bone. Understanding that you also should understand that many of the cultural guides we live by are wrong. Your body doesn't think breakfast, lunch and dinner, it thinks solely about intakes to meet biological needs. If your cultural upbringing has established patterns that abuse basic biological realities, you need to find error in the methods that are degrading your body, and look for methods that strengthen it.

Thirdly you must understand that amongst this intake there is a requirement for a broad range of nutrients. The USDA has determined the most commonly accepted format in providing the simple food pyramid (see chart below).

Understanding these basics you simply fill our our assessment chart and ask yourself the questions listed below.

Below are a range of charts to help you assess your diet. The first is a simple one day assessment. Download this now and test your diet. If you would like to monitor your diet via this format, I have also attached some diet and program charts to monitor your progress. At the end of each day you simply ask yourself the following questions. Also provided are links to calorie counters to assist you with your calculations (there is no need to be a fanatic, close enough is good enough to give you an indications - the errors stand out a mile). Also provided is a link for those who want to know more about portion sizes.

What makes me fat questions?

1: Did you overeat in total calories? Obviously overeating in total calories sets the template for increased body fat levels.

2: Did I overeat in any one meal? If the answer is yes, be aware that any excess has the ability to convert to fat and as such you are setting the template for increased body fat levels. Yes, you can eat an acceptable amount of total calories and still get fat. Don't skip meals and overeat at lunch and dinner, you can still get very fat!

3: Did you miss any meals? Your body is a biological system. Give it what it needs when it needs it. Don't do that and you set the template to get fat by training your body to be more effective at fat storage - and you will also get weaker your body takes from its stores in muscle and bone.

4: Did you overeat in fat? No doubt you are well aware of this one, fat should be the smallest part of your intake.

If you said yes to any of these, your are setting the template for increased body fat levels. Occasional abuse is okay, but if abuse is your dietary norm, your diet is working against you.

What makes me malnourished?

5: Did you eat less than two serves of dairy?

6: Did you eat less than two serves of meat?

7: Did you eat less than three serves of fruit?

8: Did you eat less than three serves of vegetables?

9: Did you eat less than six serves of grain?

If you answered yes to these questions, be aware that you may be missing food groups that provide essential nutrients. Yes you can still eat heaps and become malnourished or suffer from a long list of nutrient deficiency related diseases.

Add sufficient training to the mix and you are on the road to good health, its that simple! When this program works for you, feel free to send us a payment equivalent to the fees you wasted on all those shonky diets (I'd be rich - lol). On a serious note however, and having given the overview, you may want to read the 'Fit Aussie Guide as well. Even in the presence of an appropriate guide, there will still be a big failure rate based on addictions and psychological habits.
