Smart Subscriptions

Why Smart Success Packs are Imperative to Your Success 

One of our clients was not getting the results she wanted.  Although she was training regularly, her progress was moderate for months.  After a consult with her Smart Fit Method trainer, she committed to optimizing her nutrition by simply adding a Smart Success Pack (hydration, protein + greens) to support her fitness goals. The next month, she lost 4.8lbs and gained 4.6lbs of lean mass. It was the only variable she changed, and it was hugely impactful!  

The Importance of Macronutrients And Protein

Macronutrients are key to overall fitness and longevity including the consistency with which you consume them. That bears repeating, none of the quick fix, diet crazes are worth anything if you won’t stick with them (and we don’t believe those work anyhow). When it comes to the benefits of good nutrient habits, consistency is key. 

Proper diet is not just about eliminating foods that aren’t healthy, but about making sure you are getting the macronutrients your body needs every day to become strong and healthy. Macronutrients are essential to reap the full benefits of exercise. 

When it comes to macronutrients, fat and carbohydrates are forms of energy, and protein is information. Protein is the key information we need for protein synthesis muscle recovery, endurance, and more.  According to muscle-centric medicine doctor, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Americans need to worry less about being over fat and worry more about being under muscled.

In fact, if you were to go into a geriatric clinic and ask a doctor there what the number one concern was, you’d be told it’s that the patients are weak. This means lack of muscle and bone density. As you already know if you train The Smart Fit Method, making muscle takes ripping muscle (creating micro-tears) and rebuilding it. That takes protein—eating 1 gram of protein for every ideal pound body weight every day, according to Dr. Lyon. This can properly allow for repair and recovery from muscle damage from workouts, so we don’t lose muscle and lower health span as we age. 

So, we need protein. But most people can only consume an average max of about 30 grams of protein in one sitting. It’s hard to consume enough protein every day unless you are sitting around eating steaks for every meal. Therefore, we choose to supplement.

As part of the Smart Fit Method, we suggest you start your day with one full serving of Mikuna protein powder. We like Mikuna because it is plant based, where whey and animal protein powders can lead to gut irritation. It is also a complete protein, unlike many plant proteins, and does not contain heavy metals like many plant proteins do. In addition, it is a clean product, containing few ingredients. We love Mikuna.

If you consume Mikuna in your first meal in morning, you’re already up in your protein intake 30-40 grams out of the gate. Keep in mind that an egg is only six grams so if you used to eat a couple of eggs for breakfast, this ups your protein for the morning by at least three-fold.

Another great way to ensure protein intake is to supplement your protein all day long with Humapro. Humapro is an amino acid supplement, but in advanced form. These are the building blocks of protein and can increase protein synthesis, muscle recovery and endurance during workouts and have also been shown to reduce body fat. 

This is a secret that has long been known by the swimsuit industry. It’s a way to get the benefit of protein without waste of protein (calories). So, two servings of that plus one to two of Mikuna can get very close to recommended protein per day. 

Get Your Greens

We also suggest that you add a serving of MacroGreens to your morning shake to be sure you get all the veggies you need for the day. We are advised to get 8-10 servings of vegetables a day. But do we? The nutrition and fiber in greens are a huge factor in health and longevity.

Because the vitamins and minerals are key to boosting workout benefits as well as lowering inflammation in the system, microgreens are a super valuable part of our success package.
 
Proper Hydration

Another key for fitness is hydration. When people hydrate correctly, they can lose 44% more body fat than those who don’t. But hydration is about two factors. One: are you getting the appropriate amount of H20? This means drinking about half our body weight in ounces of water per day. But this is no good without the other factor of hydration: are your cells able to accept the hydration you’re drinking? For cellular membranes to accept all the nutrients in that water, you need enough minerals. It’s these electrolyte minerals that increase our ability to receive the water and increase absorption rate. 

That’s why we include Ultima powder in our package. Ultima gives you the six key electrolytes and trace minerals your body needs without added sugars, dyes, or calories. We suggest you start and end every day with a glassful of Ultima to know you are getting what you need to stay hydrated and maximize your workout benefits on a consistent basis.
