Body for Life






Summary


A high-protein, healthy carbohydrate diet combined with strength-training exercise to achieve a super fit body.


 

Description


You are encouraged to eat more often, 6 meals a day. But, those meals should consist of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates. The idea is to maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.

Lean meats like fish, chicken and turkey, plus some specific lean beef is encouraged. Most vegetables are encouraged. Unsaturated fats are OK. Sweets and discouraged, but high-glycemic carbs seem to be allowed. You are encouraged to take a nutritional supplement as well.

Exercise is a key component of the Body-for-Life plan. High-intensity training the cornerstone. This allows you to burn more fat and increase your metabolism. Ultimately, you can even shape your body. Workouts consist of strength-training and high-intensity cardio workouts. You do each just three times a week. The exercises are common, but the key is to include some high-intensity sets at the end of each exercise.


History


Bill Phillips wrote the book, "Body for life" in 1999. He has been publishing bodybuilding magazines and marketing supplements for years.


Criticism


The body-builder approach doesn't fit some people's style. The supplement you are encouraged to three times a day is made by Bill Phillips's company. The breakdown of carbohydrates is questionable.
