PYRAMID
Your one-stop guide to eating for muscle.
BY JENNIFER SYGO, MSC, RD
The traditional food pyramids and food guides are well known,
and while they serve as an easy tool for use in classrooms and doctors’ offices,
they can fall short when it comes to serving active women. To better serve
Oxygen readers, we’ve put together a revised food pyramid to meet your
specific weight and workout-related goals.
CHICKEN
BREAST,
CRUCIAL!
whole grains
and starchy
vegetables
non-starchy
vegetables
(5–7 SERVINGS PER DAY)
As the foundation of any
healthy diet, non-starchy
vegetables such as spinach,
asparagus, cauliflower,
onions and bok choy are
fibre-rich, low-calorie
disease fighters that will
keep you both healthy
and lean. Aim to include
at least a handful of veggies
at both lunch and dinner
each day, and emphasise
a variety of colours to give
your diet a broad spectrum
of vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants.
SWEET
SPUDS,
ENERGY!
(2–6 SERVINGS PER DAY)
A key source of carbohydrates
to fuel your workouts, your
whole-grain and starchy
vegetable needs will vary
with your training. If you are
going heavy on cardio, or
you’re involved in endurance
sports, you’ll probably want
to include foods like oatmeal,
quinoa and sweet potatoes at
each meal. If you’re trying to
shed weight before competition, or focusing on weight
training more than cardio,
then you can bring your
intake down a few notches.
1 serving = ½ cup cooked
grain or sweet potato or
pumpkin, 30g cereal/oatmeal
protein
1 serving = ½ cup cooked
or 1 cup raw, leafy greens
LEAN
TURKEY,
HEALTHY!
(8–12 SERVINGS PER DAY)
Depending on the intensity
and frequency of your
workouts, your protein needs
could be up to double those
of the average woman (up to
1.6g per kilo). That, combined
with protein’s appetitesuppressing effects, makes
it absolutely essential for
active women. The key is to
distribute your protein evenly
throughout the day to make
sure you are always building
up, not tearing down, muscle.
PHOTOS PETER CHOU
1 serving = 10g protein
or about 40g lean meat,
280g low-fat milk, 3⁄4 cup
yoghurt, 1⁄3 cup cottage
cheese, 2 egg whites,
55g tofu
Motivation
By Penny Lomas
Firstly, try not to place too much energy on understanding
why other people are the way they are; if you do, you will often
end up going around in circles. Their attitudes may simply be
because of their care and concern for family members, their
insecurity, or merely the green-eyed monster. Whatever the
reason for their lack of support, you cannot overanalyse the
rhyme and reason of someone else’s ACTIONS, but you can
change your REACTIONS. The trick is learning how to react
positively to the lack of support and not let it stop you from
moving toward your goals.

Reading the many letters, emails
and messages from our dedicated
readers, there seems to be a
recurring theme. Many of you are
avid followers of Oxygen magazine;
you are fierce, strong, empowered,
fit and fabulous females. But,
unfortunately, some of you feel
alone and unsupported in your
newfound clean-living lifestyle. So
here’s how to cope with the negative
input or complete lack of support
from loved ones, and stay inspired
and on track regardless.

Phone Email Pure. Natural. Healthy. That is the ethos of Coconut
Essence which is consistently sourced and produced from the same plantations ensuring our
coconut water-loving fans get the highest-quality
product, packed full of electrolytes, potassium and
magnesium with the greatest nutritional benefits
possible. Our signature product – JT’s Coconut
Essence 100% pure Coconut Water – was inspired
from a chance tasting of fresh coconut water in
Thailand. This sparked a journey of discovery and
product development to bring this great tasting
and refreshingly healthy drink to you.
We believe we have created something very
special, with a focus on great taste while harnessing the plentiful benefits of the wonderful coconut
fruit. Coconut Essence is unique because we are
100% pure young green coconut water. We don’t
distort our product with additives, preservatives,
water or blends from older mature coconuts.
We hope you enjoy our current selection of
products that include JT’s famous Coconut Water,
100% organic and cold-pressed Coconut Oil, lipsmacking Coconut Sorbet, crunchy Coconut Chips
as well as our delicious 100% Organic Cocotella
Choc Coconut spread. At Coconut Essence we are
all about pure coconut products that are not only
packed full of goodness but are also the very best
we can possibly create for our customers.
