Nutrition in 120 words
Eat lots of protein, veggies, and healthy fats. The best protein sources are wild fish and meat that is grass-fed, antibiotic & hormone-free. Focus on nutrient-dense vegetables (those with dark or bright colors) and save the starchy ones like sweet potatoes and yams--if you need them--for post-workout meals. Go for organic on veggies that don't have peels or shells to protect them--and us--from pesticides. Whole fruits, not fruit juices, and preferably fresh, not dried. And remember, avocados, nuts, and coconuts are your friends. Eat SOME fruits, but don't go overboard. Some people have particular sensitivities to eggs, nuts, tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers. Pay attention to these foods to determine if you feel discomfort after eating them.
