Nutrition​

​

Solid nutrition is vital to a healthy lifestyle and consistent athletic performance. Personally, I am not interested in diets, I am interested in habits – good ones.

 

Diets have rules and that in itself makes them unsustainable and restrictive. When you then fall off your diet you may feel and be told that you've failed – you are a failure. Fall off and fail enough times and you'll stop doing something. For me this shows that the thing you are doing is unsustainable and does not fit in with your life or training habits, it is the approach that’s wrong, not you. You are not a failure. Alternatively, you keep at it and reach your target, but then what? Do you keep buying the powders and replacement systems for life? Believe me, you won’t – it is also unsustainable. 

​

What is the solution?

It is actually very simple – in order to lose weight, you simply need to create a calorie deficit whilst eating the right kinds of foods. If you find you are tired all the time or not seeing improvement in your performance times it may be that your nutritional intake is not helping you as it should and maybe you aren’t eating enough. It isn’t just about eating less – overall it is about improving your nutritional intake day in, day out, with real food – not powders and potions. You may benefit from supplements but not substitutes.
