THIS WEEK’S “ASK GILAD” BLOG
Question: Can you recommend a good diet to go along with my workouts?
Answer: A diet is something that people go on with the hope of losing weight. A diet is not a life-long commitment. It is conceived with a very short term goal in mind. The word diet conjures images of depriving ourselves of the foods we enjoy. More and more nutritionists, psychologists, and athletic trainers are promoting the idea that dieting is not good for us mentally or physically.
Instead they are promoting the concept of 'natural eating', or simply supplying our bodies with the fuel it needs to live each day. Natural eaters concern themselves with what foods will energize and sustain them. Natural eaters eat only until they are satisfied, never any more or any less. Natural eaters are aware of what foods are good for them, but they are not obsessive about calorie counting or eating exact amounts or types of food.
If you read through my 'Eat Right Now' nutritional guide it will give you a good overall view of the types of foods you should be choosing to sustain and nourish your body and when you have this knowledge, you will never have to go on another 'diet' in your life.
