Perfect Balance Diet

Perfect Balance builds its meal plans around two key fundamental concepts: a good balance of the elements you need and a reduction or elimination of the elements you don’t need. You have likely heard people, even nutritionists, say “Calories are calories. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight.” There is plenty of truth in this concept. However, we do know some calories give us a lot of value and others give us nothing. For example, the much maligned egg provides us with protein, polyunsaturated fats (which help to lower LDL [bad] cholesterol and raise HDL [good] cholesterol), folic acid, other B vitamins, and vitamin D while a teaspoon of sugar provides only calories and an insulin spike. There is no value to refined sugar. What it does offer is an unceasing cycle of hormonal spikes and crashes which stimulates, amongst other things, a craving for more sugar to re-capture the elation of the spike. Another thing we know is too much sugar can lead to the development of diabetes. Diabetes has become one of the most prevalent health dangers of our time. It is often a precursor and/or partner to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

What we’ve found both through our research and continuing experimentation is that a balance of the right types of carbohydrates, proteins and fats is key to weight loss and a general feeling of well-being. Those who follow our program of fitness combined with well-balanced eating find they have more energy, are healthier, and feel more capable to handle the stresses of life than they were prior to joining Perfect Balance. We don’t really embrace the concept of “dieting” as we consider healthy eating a permanent part of our lifestyles. That said, those of our members who are seeking weight loss goals find themselves less hungry and satisfied longer which, in turn, aids them in staying the course and losing the weight they want.
