Nutrition is the most important aspect of health and performance. While there are some healthy guidelines that we can follow, the reality is that we all process foods differently. So, what may be optimal for one person, may not be optimal for the next.
Some general guidelines can include: eat lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Eat real foods, avoid processed foods. Do not follow fad diets that promise short-term results because they usually result in long-term frustration. Eating healthy takes knowledge, time, preparation, and money. Make changes to your diet that you will be able to maintain for the rest of your life. Do not take all of the enjoyment away from eating!
To truly optimize your nutrition, you need to have a Food Sensitivities Test (FST) done. The results will tell you exactly what foods are optimal for you to consume.
