Episode 2455: Nancy Clark, in her article on NancyClarkRD.com, challenges the notion of a perfect diet, advocating for a balanced and sustainable approach to eating for athletes. She emphasizes the importance of allowing small indulgences within a predominantly high-quality diet, advocating for the inclusion of "imperfect" foods in moderation. Clark's advice is practical, focusing on meal distribution, the avoidance of nighttime binges through adequate daytime nourishment, and the inclusion of diverse food groups to ensure nutritional completeness and satisfaction. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nancyclarkrd.com/2016/07/13/taking-your-diet-to-the-next-level/ Quotes to ponder: "If 85% to 95% of your food choices are high quality, a little bacon or a few chips will not ruin your health forever." "By filling up on quality foods at breakfast, lunch #1, and Lunch #2, you will crave less 'junk food' at night–and may not even miss it."
