Nutrition 101


“Eat lean meats, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.”

In a very real sense, proper nutrition is THE MOST important thing you can master here. Yes, it can be the most the challenging aspect of your training and it should be perceived as so. But I am confident that getting enough exposure, guidance and training that this to can be overcame. You can’t out train bad nutrition. Nutrition will form the basis for all of your training success as well as attainment of any body composition goals you may have.

So we train for performance and life and we eat to enhance that. Food intake should be as adequate to support activity levels, but not body fat. Keep things simple, there is no magic bullet and not all calories are created equal. I am practicing the zone eating plan, remember it can be a huge eating change in your eating or it might not and it all depends on individual, but if looking for something that works, as it did for me I would suggest you to give zone nutrition a try.


Read through the guides and make an informed decision for yourself on the nutrition plan.
CHALLENGE to YOU: Commit to nutrition plan for 30 days.
REMEMBER: You to make a lifestyle change, not just adopt a fad diet. We believe that this is something you should be able to sustain for the rest of you life. As outlined in the following, you may have to change several lifestyle factors and your daily habits in order to effect a positive change in your fitness.

We are challenging you to commit to an eating habit for 30 days. 30 days is a suitable amount of time to make a distinct change in your life. It’s not forever, and should give you time to experience the benefits of your new eating plan.
