Five Quick Tips for Better Nutrition 

October 24, 2017 by Christopher Douglas

by Coach Aaron Hyatt

Need to get back on track with your healthy eating? Following are five quick tips for healthy eating to kick-start your daily diet to a more healthy state.
eat-right

  1. Eat veggies or protein at every meal
  • Veggies are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber
  • Help maintain a high level of satiety throughout the day while controlling blood sugar and insulin levels
  • Increased thermic effect of food, protein has a higher TEF then carbs or fat, which helps boost metabolism
  1. Only eat higher glycemic load carbs before and after workouts
  • When these foods are eaten they cause a fast increase in blood sugar levels
  • These carbs will help blunt cortisol release, stimulate insulin release, and replenish muscle glycogen stores so that your body is ready to go for its next training session
  1. Pre-pack your lunch/meals
  • Plan out and prepare your meals for the week, taking the thinking out of eating during the week
  • You will have a much easier time making better choices when life gets busy if you don’t have to think about what to eat and where to get it
  • The key to nutritional success is finding a plan that you can stick to and adopt as part of your lifestyle
  1. Drink more water
  • A good place to start is drinking a glass of water with each meal
  • Never allow yourself to get thirsty. If you find yourself thirsty, you are already dehydrated
  1. Be accountable to someone/accountability buddy
  • The most common problem is lack of compliance
  • If you have a great plan but don’t follow it, it is useless
  • Have some way to track how well you stick to your plan, whether it’s a friend you can report to or even an app such as My Fitness Pal
