NUTRITION

The Foundation: What You Eat.

As you all know from Foundations, Nutrition is the most important aspect of the athlete development hierarchy. Anyone that introduces “constantly varied, functional movements, performed at a high intensity” will see significant gain in their first few months. However, to really thrive, you have to change your eating habits.

Adopting a Paleo/Zone approach to nutrition is not as hard as it may seem. Get rid of bread, pasta, rice, and other refined foods. Base your diet on meat and vegetables, seeds and nuts, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Ask questions if you need some help getting started or have some questions if you’ve already started.

The key is to get going. Start today and the health benefits will literally last a lifetime.

321, Go!
