We are constantly bombarded with new diet fads that promise the latest quick fix to lose fat or increase performance. Ignore the hype, focus on the basics:
1) Meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, NO SUGAR
-shop on the outside aisles of a grocery store
-stay away from processed food (if it has a label, you should consider not eating it)
breakfast
2) If you want to lose fat, are eating too much?
-eat a little less at each meal but do not starve yourself
3) Eat protein at every meal
-protein will help you recover from you workouts and helps to balance insulin response when you eat carbohydrate dense foods (eg bread, potatoes, pasta)
mmm chicken
4) Replace grains with vegetables
-vegetables are a better source of fibre, vitamins and minerals
lunch
5) Don’t forget to eat some fat
-make the you eat some good fat from sources such as avocados, raw nuts (not roasted) and seeds, Omega-3 rich fish oil and olive oil.
