You can’t expect to perform at your best if you only eat healthy or balanced the morning of an event. Learn nutrition regimes that work for you pre-exercise and during recovery. No 2: Maintain a healthy weight. Weight is king. Do you feel like you would be more efficient if you weighed a little less? No 3: Get protein, carbohydrates, and fat at every meal. Do you eat the same foods, yet continue to challenge your body and expect it to change?Challenge your habits and fine-tune your sports nutrition regimes. RDdetox will help you utilize whole foods and practice nutritional habits that can change your body composition, blood sugar levels, and your energy, while you obtain a healthier weight.
