Fitness Tip #5: Find Your Diet


There seems to be a new book promoting a new diet almost monthly. It is easy to be persuaded to try different diets or meal planning systems with such a flood of persuasive information in the media. I think it's important to become informed as to what proper nutrition actually does for your body function rather than how a diet will make you look at the end.

I am not one to push a certain way of eating on anyone. I know what has worked for clients and myself but what's that saying, "... sell a man a fish and he eats for a day but teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.." I think people need to learn how their bodies respond to certain foods and then make the changes they need to fit their desired goals whether it be fat loss, lean mass gains or simply maintenance.

The go to nutrition bible in our house is Precision Nutrition http://www.precisionnutrition.com/

I am going to keep this blog post short. Head over to the website and read all about it if your struggling with your nutrition. I had the opportunity to hear Dr. John Berardi of Precision Nutrition speak at a seminar I attended in Rhode Island last June. He has an incredible knowledge on nutrition and has created such a reasonable way of eating and living. I guarantee it will be a diet that easily becomes your lifestyle.
