Phoenix One Health Solutions Nutrition Programs
With our programming. Our Team will Educate You on the different nutrition programs we offer. Then We will let you decide on the Macro Nutrition Program that fits your lifestyle the best. All our programs will be based on your current lean muscle mass. As your body composition improves, your macros will be modified to keep your metabolism moving faster and increases your daily fat loss.
Low Carb Program
This is the easiest program to follow for most people. Low carbohydrate diets can be very effective for weight loss. The foundation is simple, High proteins, Low GI Carbs, and Healthy Fats. Your daily macros will be determined by the Body Comp Biometrics algorithms based on your lean muscle mass.
The macros are set and reset over the course of the nutrition program. As body fat drops and lean muscle is gained, then the macros change with it. Every four weeks is recommended to have your body composition retested to keep you on track with dropping body fat. Low-Carb diets also have benefits that go beyond just weight loss. They can help to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglycerides. They can also help to raise HDL (good) cholesterol and improve the pattern of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
A low-carb diet isn’t just about weight loss, it may also improve your health. For this reason, the diet should be based on whole, unprocessed foods and healthy carb sources. Low-Carb diets significantly reduce your blood levels of insulin, a hormone that brings the glucose from carbs into the body’s cells. One of the functions of insulin is to store fat.
Many experts believe that the reason low-carb diets work so well is that they reduce your levels of this hormone. Studies also show that low-carb diets are particularly effective at reducing the fat in your abdominal cavity, also known as visceral or belly fat. This is the most dangerous fat and is strongly associated with many diseases. Water weight drops fast on a low-carb diet, and fat loss takes longer. It’s common to feel unwell in the first few days of lowering your carb intake. However, many people feel excellent after this initial adaptation phase.
Athletic Keto Program
This program is very similar to others, except Phoenix One Health Solutions will set your Macros for the best results based on your lean muscle mass. This is the safest way to maintain a keto program to preserve your muscles.
Programs like Atkins are high-fat. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Usually, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. Once ketosis has started working, then your body is forced to burn fat for energy.
The trick is to know your personal set of keto macros to prevent muscle loss. A great starting point for a ketogenic diet is one that is also Paleo—that is, full of nutrient-dense whole foods rather than an abundance of packaged, processed “keto treats.” While there is certainly room for the occasional keto dessert or snack, a diet largely comprised of satisfying whole foods is a great framework to test your tolerances and macronutrient needs.
While more and more people are incorporating a keto diet for fat loss and cognitive benefits, the ketogenic diet was first adopted to treat specific illnesses such as epilepsy, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. If you have a history of these issues in your family or are dealing with chronic disease yourself, it may be worth speaking with your doctor—or a functional medicine physician who is educated in nutrition—about your options.
Athletic Lean Muscle Program
The Body Comp Biometrics program is designed to add new lean muscle mass at a faster rate than a standard athletic diet. We will add new lean muscle and drop your body fat in the safest way possible, which will give you leaner and more defined muscles on your body.
At anytime that we see your body composition is not changing in the right direction then we will adjust your macros accordingly right away. Every person is different when it comes to adding muscle and dropping body fat, we will educate you as we learn the way your body is responding. With this approach, we will keep adding new lean muscle mass until you reach your personal fitness goals.
When you’re trying to build a better body, your actions outside the gym matter just as much as all the clanging, heaving and pumping that goes on in the weight room. What you do in the kitchen plays 80%, this a huge part of your progress. While some of us are experts at gaining weight unintentionally, how do we go about putting on healthy weight in the right way? Weight gain sounds easy, but it requires a strategic approach to nutrition and training to get it right. And just like weight loss, muscle gain must start with getting the right amount of macro nutrition each day.
With any lean mass-building diet, the goal is typically to increase lean mass while limiting gains in body fat. This is because muscle provides numerous health benefits, whereas excess fat is just energy reserves, and high amounts of body fat are associated with less desirable health outcomes. Muscle also serves as a storage place for key nutrients – like glycogen (aka carbs), water, and amino acids. Thus, having more lean tissue means you process and store your calories more efficiently and your higher weight and output allow you to eat more calories.
It takes even more energy to build and store muscle mass through muscle protein synthesis (MPS). An estimated 2,500 to 2,800 excess calories are needed to gain one pound of lean mass. Of course, this number is highly dependent on individual factors like level of training, starting body composition, genetics, and overall diet.
Athletic Bariatrics Program
After someone has Bariatric Surgery, the key to continuous desired fat loss is learning how your body is responding and making sure that you are not losing muscle as your body weight drops.
This program is very similar to others, except Phoenix One Health Solutions will set your Macros for the best results based on your lean muscle mass. This is the safest way maintain a keto program that will preserve your muscles.

Athletic Children Program
Macro manipulation works with children as well as adults. In the past 30 years, the prevalence of childhood obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5, has tripled among youth ages 6-11, and has more than tripled among adolescents ages 12-19.
It’s time to make a major change and educate our children on the hard facts of being obese and how it will affect them as they become adults. Working with Phoenix One Health Solutions’ proper macro manipulation techniques and educating them on the true way the human body responds to food will be the key to living a long healthy life.
As with all the nutrition programs listed with “Body Comp Biometrics,” our specialized algorithm will drop unwanted body fat and increase a child’s lean muscle mass the same as an adult’s.
Athletic Fasting Program
Intermittent fasting is one protocol in which the BodyComp-Plus programming will restrict food intake for a certain period of time. Normally sixteen hours, with an eight-hour window to follow your macros and consume enough healthy calories. In general, we all fast between 7 and 9 hours of sleep at night, but when we talk about intermittent fasting, we are referring to periods longer than 12 hours without food intake. Intermittent fasting is usually approached with two main goals:
Weight Loss and Improved Health.
Weight loss is a consequence of caloric restriction, as it becomes more difficult to include the necessary macros in a limited window of time. Intermittent fasting should be considered as one more tool in order to establish a caloric deficit and, above all, take into account the adherence of each person. Nutrient intake in athletes, protein will be a macronutrient that should be kept relatively stable at all meals, but different intakes of carbohydrates and fats can be used at each meal in order to prioritize performance or satiety, among others. Depending on the sport modality, it will be important to adjust the number of carbohydrates and their complexity, as they are the main responsible for optimal performance. Beyond their use as a source of energy, it has been described that the level of glycogen stores plays an important role as a signal conditioning both short-term performance/fatigue and adaptations to training. At the same time, it may be advisable to have a high fat intake in the last meal before starting the fast due to its great satiating effect. And finally, proper hydration should be maintained throughout the day. Our Phoenix One
Vegetarian Nutrition Program
If you do not eat meat, you can still get plenty of protein from plant sources such as nuts and legumes. There is a catch. Amino acids are needed for protein synthesis. Proteins are biochemical molecules that contain chains of amino acids. Protein can help repair and create tissue (including muscle), is used to make hormones and enzymes, and is a building block for everything from cartilage and bones to hair and nails. Because our bodies use protein in so many ways, getting enough through your diet not only helps to give your body what it needs but is essential for overall health.
But not all protein contains the same amino acids, which is why you might have heard about “complete” and “incomplete” proteins. Overall, there are twenty different kinds of amino acids, eleven of which our bodies can produce on their own. The other nine, called “essential amino acids,” we can only get through diet, supplementation, or a combination of the two. A complete protein is one that contains all nine of those amino acids that our bodies need: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. An incomplete protein is one that does not contain all nine of those essential amino acids. Beans, specific nuts, and tofu are a couple of examples of incomplete protein sources, so eating those foods alone for protein will not give you all the amino acids your body needs.
Animal proteins provide the amino acids in the quantities that your body needs. Vegetarians and vegans can get enough protein to maintain their current lean mass if they plan their daily meals. It’s hard for the body to build new lean muscle, just using plant-based proteins without taking your daily carbs to high. Plant foods, except for soy, are low in amino acids.
With Body Comp Biometrics, we have assigned extra BCAA’s (Supplement Form) into your nutrition program to bind the incomplete proteins together so we can suppress the total carbs in your diet, This way you are less likely to store the overflow of glycogen as fats if you are unable to burn them off during you daily activity.
It is important for vegetarians to eat a variety of plant foods daily including whole grains, cereals, legumes, nuts, and vegetables. A vegetarian diet focuses on plants for food. These include fruits, vegetables, dried beans and peas, grains, seeds, and nuts.
- There is no single type of vegetarian diet. Instead, vegetarian eating patterns usually fall into the following groups:
- The vegan diet, which excludes all meat and animal products
- The Lacto vegetarian diet, which includes plant foods plus dairy products
- The Lacto-Ovo vegetarian diet, which includes both dairy products and eggs
- People who follow vegetarian diets can get all the nutrients they need. However, they must be careful to eat a wide variety of foods to meet their nutritional needs. Nutrients vegetarians may need to focus on include protein, iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12.
