Huh? It’s the 80/20 rule: for many events, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. If we think about this concept as it applies to our dietary habits, it becomes apparent that if we follow the basics of good, clean eating, that most of the benefit is coming from following these few sound practices . With so much conflicting diet information, it’s hard to decipher sometimes – so I’ll lay it out for ya nice and simple – here are some basics:
Stick to the perimeter of the grocery store: Food should be perishable! If it can keep on the store shelf or in your cupboard for a year, don’t you wonder what the hell is in it? Vegetables, fruits, lean meat, nuts and seeds, and some whole grains should form the foundation of your diet.
Drink at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water every day.
A Few good protein sources: Fish, Poultry, Lean Red Meat, Egg Whites
Bulk of carbs should be from fruits and veggies – vegetables ideally with every meal. The more color the better.
Fat is not evil! But we need the good kinds. Cut out hydrogenated oils and trans fats immediately and permanently!
Eat every 2-3 hours or 5-6 times per day – no matter what your goal is!
Take a good multi vitamin! Safeguard any nutritional deficiencies.
Pretty simple, huh? Eating right isn’t complicated – it just isn’t easy J
