When it comes to nutrition, our 3 main goals at Guruz are:
1. Improve your body composition 2. Improve your health 3. Improve your performance
It’s the combination of these three aspects of that makes a complete nutritional plan worth following. Food intake has the highest impact on weight loss, while adding in exercise leads to the physical changes you can see over time. A quick lesson on carbohydrates: Whenever you consume carbohydrates (in any form), they are converted into glucose (sugar) during digestion. Your body’s response to glucose is insulin production. Insulin’s job is to get the sugar out of the bloodstream and store it in cells (typically fat cells). We need some carbohydrates to function and produce energy, but moderation here is key. At Guruz, we provide a physician supervised weight loss system, combined with specifically designed, heart-rate monitored exercise to get your body functioning at its full capacity.
Depending on your personal weight loss and nutrition goals, you can choose between 3 Guruz plans. The first two plans (G1 and G2) are designed for rapid to moderate weight loss and focus on initial reduction in carbohydrates in order to balance insulin production and fat storage at the beginning of weight loss. Gradually, a whole foods-based, balanced diet will allow weight loss to be maintained and energy to be optimized!
