Real Results

I am going to make a bold statement (not that bold really); are you ready?...The most important part of a physical fitness program, BY FAR, is good nutrition. No matter how good the athlete's programming and dedication is, their results will be extremely limited by poor nutrition. Don't get me wrong, an athlete will see results by hitting it hard day after day with good workouts. However, the physical (visual) results and performance will skyrocket if a strong nutritional base is established. I have noticed significant results in my body and my performance since dialing in my nutrition (if it weren't for poor joints and genes, I would be ready for the CF games this Summer!).

I'm not going to get too detailed on diet in this post, but if you would like to learn more about results-oriented and sustainable nutrition, visit Vibrant Sexy Strong and Whole9.

Okay, with that being said, we are going to make this 4-Week Challenge a little more interesting come Monday. Starting Monday (through the rest of the challenge), follow this regimen for breakfast each morning to give you an edge in your performance and see even greater results at the the end of our 4 weeks (I'm going to try and keep it simple as possible):

1. Eat a lot of high density animal protein (without added sugars, preservatives, etc. if possible)
2. Eat a nutrient-dense vegetables (without added sugars, butter, etc.)
3. Eat some fruit (fresh without any added sugars, preservatives, etc.)
4. Eat a lot of healthy fats (avocados, coconut products, olives, nuts [no peanuts], seeds).

Foods to avoid: Grains and legumes of any sort, dairy, sugar, processed foods

Here's a sample breakfast:
1-3 turkey burgers/sausage (we make these ourselves--cheap and tasty plus you can make enough to last the whole week, so you don't have to make them every morning)
1-4 eggs
1/2 avocado
1 pear or banana

Take advantage of tomorrow and Sunday to prepare your breakfasts for the week. Also, remember to take before and after pics if you haven't already.

Tomorrow's Recess:

Run 1-mile
Skill Practice: OHS
