Ask yourself this: How far does your car go on “E”? 

By asking you to workout at high levels of intensity it is important that in return you feed your body the FUEL required to do this!  Similar to a car, our bodies function way more efficiently with GOOD QUALITY FUEL in our systems.  If we run our bodies hard and don’t feed it the necessary nutrition to keep it going it goes into starvation mode and starts storing everything it can get it’s hands on as fat, not to mention muscle and strength loss.  By not eating ENOUGH good quality food, not only are you depriving your body the energy required to perform daily activities, but you are now storing anything your body gets a hold of as FAT in it’s attempts to protect your body.

When do I stop eating? What if I am eating too much?

Listen to your body.  If you are active your body will tell you it’s hungry and in need of food.  Take a look at what you’re feeding your body as opposed to how much. Oh’ natural is always the way to go!  Base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats (grass-fed meat, farm eggs, fish etc), nuts and seeds, little starch and no sugar! Avoid consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates.  High glycemic carbohydrates break down much quicker then low-glycemic carbs.  They include rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas, and most processed carbohydrates.   Eating high-glycemic carbs will spike your insulin, who’s job is to regulate sugar hormones but also acts as a storage hormone.  By clearing the sugars out of your bloodstream you become hypoglycemic (low sugar levels), become lethargic or crash, and begin to crave these sugars which then results in over-eating.  By eating low-glycemic carbs, the energy release is gradual and long lasting preventing that insulin spike and eliminating the over-production of storage hormones.
A Few simple steps to follow:
1) Shop on the outside of the grocery store.
2) Ensure you can read and understand all of the ingredients in your food.
3) Shop local.  Hit up farmers markets, friends farms etc.  Avoid overly processed food and grocery store meats full of preservatives!
4) Make a weekly meal plan to ensure you have lots of readily available “snacks” throughout the day.
5) Eat every 2-4 hours.
6) Include a form of Fat, Carbohydrate (low-glycemic), and protein EVERY time you eat!
