Nutrition

Before you read this page, remember this quote, in fact write it down and stick it on your fridge as it sums up everything in one small sentence………

“You can’t out train poor nutrition”

This is so true!

It doesn’t matter how much training you do, how hard you push yourself, if your nutrition isn’t right then you will NEVER achieve your goals – REMEMBER THIS

Nutrition is THE KEY factor to getting the most out of and sustaining a successful fitness regime.

There are so many ‘fad’ diets out there and every lifestyle or fitness magazine you pick up these days claims to have the answers to your questions. “Lose a stone in a week!”, “Get a six pack in a fortnight!” if only it was that easy.

Unfortunately there is no quick fix; you must be prepared to change your eating and drinking habits for the long term to get the results you desire.

It sounds cliché, but what it all boils down to is a balanced healthy eating plan with the correct amount of carbohydrate, protein, fat, fibre, vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. And this combined with exercise can help keep those extra pounds off and keep you well in the long term.

Mark says “I always discuss nutrition with potential new clients in the FREE initial consultation I offer and I’m always delighted to dispel many of the fat loss myths out there!

I hold nothing back when I tell you…

  • Why cereal and milk for breakfast is possibly the worst thing you can have to start your day and will immediately get you craving more sugar and storing fat!

  • Why not all FAT is bad! We actually need Fat (including saturated) and cholesterol in our foods for optimum fat loss!

  • Why you need to be eating a sufficient amount of protein to repair muscles and keep your metabolism high.

  • Why 3 litres of water a day is essential for performance, mood and fat loss (and why never to drink tap water!)

  • Why the food pyramid (which tells us to base our diet on grains) is a load of old rubbish!

  • If you get breakfast right the rest of the day will be easy (and some of my breakfast recommendations will blow your mind!)

  • Green vegetables need to become a great friend of yours.

  • It is essential to eat protein and carbohydrate after exercise to repair muscles and replenish energy stores.

  • Why diet’s make you stressed and how stress can make you FAT!

If you take all of this on board and apply, you will train hard, be full of life, burn loads of fat and have constant energy throughout the day, allowing you to never go hungry or feel tired again. It’s a real insight!
