It’s hard to know where to begin when you are looking to clean up the diet and get on the right track. So in this episode, I am going to break down the exact guidelines that we use with our clients and athletes.\r\n\nI’m gonna warn you they are pretty simple and common-sense based, so if you’re looking for a magic wand or super secret trick, this episode doesn’t have it. The nutrition guidelines are something I learned from Dr. John Berardi over at Precision Nutrition and have basically been following ever since I first saw them.\r\n\nSubscribe to the 18STRONG Podcast on iTunes and stitcher by clicking the button below:\r\n\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/18strong-podcast-golf-golf/id918983997?mt=2andls=1 () http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53823andrefid=stpr ()\r\n\nHighlights from this Episode\r\n\nI have come to find that people usually struggle with their nutrition for 5 main reasons:\r\n\n\r\n\n* They don’t have enough information\r\n\n* They have too much information and are paralyzed by information overload\r\n\n* They have BAD information that leads them down the wrong path\r\n\n* They know what they need to do, but just aren’t willing to commit to it\r\n\n* They just plain don’t care!\r\n\n\r\n\nI tell the story of a time a few years back when life got hectic, I let my diet and workouts slide, and I got FAT! But once I opened my eyes and realized how much I had let myself slip, I drew the line in the sand and committed to my diet and workouts hard-core, dropping over 11% bodyfat and adding quite a bit of muscle mass in less that 3 months. In this episode, I share the primary principles that I used during that time (and since then) with my diet.\r\n\nI found that there were 3 main components that allowed me to succeed in this:\r\n\n\r\n\n* The 10 nutrition guidelines I am going to share\r\n\n* A solid plan for my workouts (4-5 days/week, lots of weights, very little cardio!)\r\n\n* An Accountability partner/coach\r\n\n\r\n\nThe 10 Nutrition Guidelines\r\n\nThese guidelines were originally taken from http://www.PrecisionNutrition.com (www.PrecisionNutrition.com) (a great resource for anything related to nutrition)\r\n\n\r\n\n* EAT OFTEN, every 2-3 hours\r\n\n* Eat complete, lean PROTEIN at every “eating opportunity”\r\n\n* Eat VEGETABLES at every “eating opportunity”\r\n\n* Earn your CARBS\r\n\n* Include HEALTHY FATS in your diet\r\n\n* Drink water, coffee, or green tea\r\n\n* Eat as many WHOLE FOODS as possible\r\n\n* Plan on CHEATING!\r\n\n* Create the HABIT of PREPARATION\r\n\n* SUPPLEMENT appropriately (I recommend seeking out a professional)\r\n\n\r\n\nRecommended Resources:\r\n\nhttp://www.gdxslab.com/ (Greenwich Dx Sports Labs)\r\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/The-Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History/dp/0143038583 (Omnivore’s Dilemma)\r\n\nhttp://www.precisionnutrition.com/ (Precision Nutrition)\r\n\nhttp://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/podcasts/ (The Model Health Show)\r\n\nhttp://ediblyenlightened.com/ (Edibly Enlightened)\r\n\nFood Prep Examples/Experts:\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/saladinodon/?fref=ts (Don Saladino)\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/aliggolf/?fref=ts (Ali Gilbert)\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/mikesubachfitness?fref=ts (Mike Subach)\r\n\n\r\n\nOther Episodes Mentioned:\r\n\nhttp://18strong.com/robert-yang/ (Robert Yang)– “Secrets to optimizing performance through Hydration and Nutrition”\r\n\nhttp://18strong.com/shawn-stevenson/ (Shawn Stevenson)–...","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/c340ca97-d7d4-4e9b-ba90-a73c57d8c457/New-Podcast-Logo-3000x3000.png"}
