 | You won’t see optimal results from working out unless you have the proper nutrition. This does not mean “going on a diet”. Crash diets are temporary, therefore the results are temporary. If you make a permanent lifestyle change, your results will be better, healthier, and permanent! Your body is a reflection of the way you eat most of the time. Let me make that clear: Your body will look the way you eat 80-90% of the time! This means you have control over the way you look to a certain extent. |
If you usually eat fast foods, junk food, fried or processed foods, don’t be surprised if you have an extra layer or more of fat around your midsection, or any other area.
Proper nutrition is simple:
- Eat fat, get fat.
- Don’t make a change, stay the same.
- Eat lean and healthy, get lean and healthy.
The basic rules for a healthy individual are as follows:
- Cut out fast foods, junk foods and processed foods.
- Cut out saturated fats and trans fats, eat healthy fats instead.
- Cut out sugar. This includes sodas and punch.
- Pay attention to nutrition labels.
- Increase water consumption. Have it with every meal, before, during and after workouts.
- Eat 4-7 meals per day. Listen to your body, everyone is different.
- Each meal/snack consists of protein + carbohydrate + vegetable or fruit (see examples below).
PROTEIN CARBOHYDRATES
egg whites sweet potatoes
chicken breasts brown rice
salmon basmati rice
tuna oatmeal
lean beef Cream of Wheat
turkey wheat or rye bread
