You Do Know What To Eat

I just got back from a consult I had with an elite soccer player today, and one of the areas
we discussed was nutrition.

Now this guy is very knowledgeable, yet still his food log was all over the place. I am not saying
it to critize him in any way, I’m just finding a common thread between him and the rest of the population on this planet.

He knows a lot about nutrition and what to eat. Some of the things we discussed were new to him, but a lot of it was just repetition.

So, what’s the problem?

Well, as I said, he knew what to eat, but he didn’t follow it in reality. You see, it’s easy to know
what to eat, but a whole different thing to actually apply it to your daily life.

Because seriously, we all know that soda, chips, snacks, and junk food are bad for us, yet we still consume it, and we consume it a lot!

You do know that fruit and vegetables are good for you, yet a very few of us eat the amount we should.

You do know that chicken breast, eggs, beans, fish, and lean meat sources are great sources of protein, yet you tend to eat lots of processed food such as chicken bits, fried chicken, sausages, etc.

You do know that avocados, fatty fish, olive oil, natural nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and cashew are great fat sources, yet you tend to eat lots margarine, fatty dressings, chips, etc.

Honestly, it’s time to apply what you know in terms of healthy food vs. unhealthy food. Always base your nutrition around whole food sources that can be found in it’s natural form, such as fruits and veggies, eggs, nuts, chicken, and so on.

Things you can buy in packages and “micro-wave” food, throw it in the garbage!

Alright, so stop blaming the media and the community.

You do know what to eat, you do know what is good for you and what isn’t. Change your habits and start taking control over your life!
