The 40-30-30 Diet

40-30-30 Nutrition Plan Review

The premise of the 40-30-30 Diet is simple: “Your genes have not
changed very much during the past 100,000 years”. 

Our body is a biochemical machine, and for hundreds of thousands
of years, our digestive system operated correctly when eating
just 2 food groups:

1. Lean Protein

2. Natural Carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables

Evolution works very slowly, and as far as our genes are concerned,
we are still build to eat those 2 food groups. By evolutionary
standards,  agriculture is still relatively recent and therefore
our digestive system has not yet adapted to eating large quantities
of dense, highly processed carbohydrates like grains, pasta and bread. 

Because we haven’t evolved to a stage where we can properly digest
large amounts of high density carbohydrates, our body experiences
adverse biochemical effects like fat gain, diabetes, heart
disease, sluggish feeling, etc. The 40-30-30 Diet is designed to
feed our body according to its genetic makeup.

What you eat and how you eat has a powerful effect on your body
and health. This diet plan treats food as more than just a source
of calories that must be counted and restricted.  It views food
as a powerful agent that has significant effects on our body. 
For example, certain foods can cause severe surges in insulin
production.  Significant swings in insulin levels can negatively
affect mood, endurance, mental focus, and fat.  The 40-30-30
Diet Plan was designed to keep our body balanced and performing
at its peak.  It does this by incorporating 4 key elements:

The 40-30-30 Nutrition Plan
The use of mono-unsaturated fats
Supplementation with Omega-3 oils
Exercise
