It all Starts with Food!

This challenge could be the hardest yet.

Everyone, well almost everyone, wants to be healthy, fit, lean, and so on, preferably without sacrifice. Kind of like having your cake and eating it too. We can perhaps kid ourselves that we can just out-exercise our poor eating habits, in an attempt to “burn off” the damage (sorry folks – the human body just doesn’t work like this). Or we do a quick-fix “detox” periodically to buy ourselves some more breathing space for our indulgences. The harsh reality is that, unless we want to keep spinning our wheels, any attempts to get our health back on track starts with food.

Did you know? “One of the biggest predictors for whether you will be heavier in 2 years’ time than you currently are now is whether you are currently on a diet.”

As a trainer once said to me (Yep it was Brian) "you can't out-train a bad diet"

This is not about diet it is not the silver bullet to weight loss, these are practical challenges that if followed will give you a healthy understanding of nutrition.

The real question is where do we go from here? Nutrition is a science, but we will keep it to basics in this challenge focusing on the fundamentals of wellness and weight loss.
