IT STARTS WITH NUTRITION Part 2

IT STARTS WITH Nutrition Part 2

HOW TO BEGIN

Last week we took a look at the theoretical hierarchy of development of an athlete and discovered that it all starts with nutrition.  Even as gym owners, we realize that you cannot out-train a bad diet.  The journey toward dialing in your nutrition can seem daunting but it doesn’t have to be.  In the next few weeks we will lay out a solid plan to get you going in the right direction.

STEP 1: Limit or eliminate empty calories.

Some examples are: Sodas and Starbucks drinks, smoothies, excessive alcohol, candy and desserts.  For example, there are 240 calories in a Grande Frappuccino.  That is a lot.  Instead, opt for things like teas, black coffee, calorie free flavored waters or just plain water.

Tacking step 1 will considerably reduce the number of calories AND grams of sugar you are consuming daily.  Small changes done over a long time yields amazing results. 

Stay tuned for next week where we will talk about replacing specific foods.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
