There is not a day that goes by where I am not asked something in relation to diet and nutrition. I always try to be as helpful as possible about the person’s specific concerns but the reality is that 99 % of people who ask me diet and nutrition questions just simply need to grasp the one ‘big idea’ of eating clean and making it truly a part of their lifestyle by weaving it into the very fabric of not just what they do but who they are.
Whenever eating clean is explained to anyone wanting to make a difference to their body by someone who is ‘on the path’, the response is often a blank stare. Perhaps they cannot bring themselves to believe that eating clean can make such a profound difference, after all they have been force fed a diet of ads for ‘miracle supplements’
I have a wonderful and diverse client base and for me the most satisfying thing for me is whenever someone I work with ‘gets it’ and makes a decision to eat clean as a way of life. Their results improve but most of all I get a kick out of how they say “Gee, you know, it’s so simple, isn’t it?” I just nod and say “Yep.” Aside from the fact that they have a ton of energy and their workouts are as good as they have ever been, everyone is blown away with how easy life becomes. From the perspective of reshaping their body though, this one change is the foundation that will allow them to join the fitness elite.
We as a society are getting busier and busier but we are also being told that we are getting fatter and sicker. Diet and nutrition is in the news every day and is big business. It’s really not all that complex though eat clean – cut out processed junk eat fresh natural ideally organic meat, fish, vegetables and whole grains. All the little details will follow but if you are to have any hope at all, this simple diet and nutrition secret is what you really need to make your transformation a lifelong success.
