Diet & Nutrition

Our Coach's motivation to eat “fuel” has driven me to a strict diet, and it is beginning to pay off. I have started to minimize my simple carb intake and eliminate or significantly reduce my sugar intake. So far, I have been losing weight as anticipated (down 5lbs in 2 weeks). I still have a way to go to reach my ideal weight (180lbs), and it is not an easy task.

Additionally, I just finished reading a nutrition book that will supplement my diet in more ways than one. The text supported a lot of my previous knowledge on good eating habits, and it offered additional vitamin supplements that should aid in weight loss and several other conditions that cause me some minor inconvenience.

I would recommend this text as a great read to help get you on track for a healthier lifestyle. You will find that much of what you have been told is healthy may be misleading.
