Summary
Are you confused about exactly what to eat for optimal health AND physical performance?
You're not alone.
I've been studying nutrition in college and on my own for over 17 years…and I still get confused at times!
It's no wonder. A search on Amazon for "diet books" yields over 200,00 results!
There's so much conflicting information…
"Eggs are good for you." Vs. "Eggs raise your cholesterol and will clog your arteries."
"Carbs are evil." Vs. "You need carbs to train hard and build muscle."
"Protein is essential for building muscle." Vs. "Eating meat will give you cancer and ruins the environment."
It's leaves you frustrated, confused and feeling like, "Screw this nutrition thing, it's too complicated!"
It doesn't have to be this way.
And you don't have to be a "diet zealot" who practices an almost religious adherence to a particular nutrition philosophy.
And there's no need for you to beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the perfect nutrition plan that makes you look AND feel great!
I get results for my clients and myself by following what I call "Nutrition Basics." And we don't eat boiled chicken breast and steamed broccoli out of Tupperware six times a day either. In fact, I'm telling you that you can look and feel great AND eat delicious meals…and a desert every once and a while. (Yes, for real.)
Below you will find my 8 basic principles of nutrition that will give you everything you need to lose fat, build muscle, improve your health, boost your energy and ultimately look and feel great.
This list is the result of nearly 30 years of formal study, self-study, experimentation and working with hundreds of clients.
It also includes essential lessons I've learned from countless conversations with nutrition experts, performance coaches, behavior change experts, strength coaches, as well as medical doctors who specialize in health, anti-aging and longevity.
By following these principles, you can expect to achieve…
- Faster fat loss
● Faster muscle gains (without added fat)
● Less mood or energy highs and lows
● More focus and concentration
● Better digestion
● Better immune system (i.e. less colds and sick days)
● Increased libido
● Less aches and injuries
Enough talk…listen to the episode to get the whole story!
