DIET

I BELIEVE IN EATING REAL FOOD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO ME? WELL, EATING LOTS OF VEGETABLES, FRUITS AND PROTEIN RICH FOODS, MINIMALLY PROCESSED IF POSSIBLE.  DON’T OVER COMPLICATE IT.

I’m a big fan of eating well, exercising according to your goals, getting lots of sleep, managing your stress levels, and taking a high quality nutritional supplement. 
That being said I’m going to start with my basic diet philosophy. I believe in eating real food. What does that mean to me? Well if it’s blue and comes in a plastic tube it’s not food. Diet is a good 80% of the health equation. 

I eat as real as I can but sometimes you give in and eat the processed stuff for convenience.  Don’t let guilt creep in and ruin your day just get back to eating healthy at the next meal or snack.

Life is too short to be paranoid freaks about it all but do your best most of the time. I also fill in the gaps with shakes and bars from USANA Health Sciences but only when I can’t get to whole foods.

There is a lot of bad advice out there so be careful who you listen to and what you read. Find someone with a balanced professional approach to getting you to your goals.
