The 40:30:30 Approach:

Regardless of the amount of calories you consume
30 percent protein and 30 percent fats.

Carbohydrates spike a hormone called insulin that is largely responsible for fat-gain.
and by monitoring carbohydrates to a moderate,rather than extremely high level
we are able to avoid the negative affects of unstable insulin levels.

Too much insulin can lead to food cravings and a cycle of weight gain as well as a
predisposition to storing bodyfat. Ontop of this unstable insulin levels can wreak havoc
on your sugar levels and cause your energy levels to be highly unpredictable.

Another reason this approach to calorie control works is because a large
portion of your calories will come from protein. The 40:30:30: approach for a
person who is on a 3000 calorie plain would look like this

Protein: 225 grams
Fat: 110 Grams
Carbohydrates: 300 grams

Eat Low G.I:

Low G.I. foods are slowly digesting carbohydrates that provide sustained
energy. Unlike fast-digesting carbohydrates they don't cause a crash in
energy levels. As well as maintaining energy, they keep you away from cravings.
