The 10 principles
of nutrition &
exercise
For every journey
Principle 1:
Eat your
vegetables
Whilst it may pain you to do as your
mother told you, it makes absolute
sense. Your plate should be around
50% vegetables. Whether you eat them
cooked or not doesn’t matter, but try to
eat more of the veggies that you could
eat raw if you wanted to.
Principle 2:
Protein – it’s all about
bang for your buck!
Protein should be a part of every meal. Whether you are a
hardcore meat eater or vegetarian, there are plenty of tasty
ways to get protein into your body. The “bang for your buck”
refers to nutrients, so ensure that for every gram of protein you
consume, there’s lots of other good stuff in there too! A great
example is seafood, whilst it’s high in protein, there’s also a
shed load of omega3 in there and fish like mackerel is rich in
iron too. And did you know that you can double up on the
benefits by eating 100g or more? Amazing!
Principle 3:
Lay off the starch!
Simple.
Avoid starchy foods such as potatoes, bread, pasta and rice. All
of these have very little value to the body, with low nutrients,
water, fibre and protein content. In addition, the enzymes in
your body turn starch into sugar. When the body can’t
effectively burn the sugar produced, it is stored as fat.
Principle 4:
Myth busted: fat
Fat is good! Well, whole food fat is good. Yes it sounds scary,
and goes against most of the bumph you’ll have read in
countless women’s magazines and websites, but if you don’t
eat fat, how will your body know how to cope with it? By eating
the right sort of fats, i.e. the types found naturally in olive,
sunflower and sesame oils, nuts, avocadoes, and fish, your
body knows how to burn fat in a healthy way and
maintains/improves it’s metabolic rate.
Principle 5:
Not all fruits are
created equal
Eating fruit has lots of benefits, however if you want to lower
your sugar intake then low fructose fruits such as berries and
grapes are the way to go. High fructose fruits include apples,
pears and bananas.
Principle 6:
Hocus pocus focus
Focus on exercise – full stop. By focusing on a particular area
of your body in your workouts, you actually hinder your
progress by not exercising the rest of your body too!
Principle 7:
Pièce de résistance
Focus on quality workouts, which include a lot of resistance
training. Resistance training plays a huge part in achieving all
goals. Without getting too sciencey, by doing series’ of
resistance training on several areas of the body, you exercise
what are known as the 2b muscle fibres, which play a role in
regulating whole-body metabolism.
Principle 8:
Lower your weights to
lower your weight
Resistance training isn’t about how much you can lift, it’s about
how you lift. It’s all about control. The better you can control
your muscles and hold form, the better your workout is for you.
Higher weights does not equal better results.
Principle 9:
There’s no need to
workout for Hours
Working out for ridiculous amounts of time will only put your
body under stress. Your body is likely to react a lot more
effectively if you exercise regularly in moderation.
Principle 10:
Heal, don’t hurt, your
body
Look after your body and your body will look after you. Don’t
stress it, strain it or put bad things into it if you can help it.
Focus on healing muscles, not tearing them. Fuelling your
body, not depriving it. Not only will you get the results you want,
you’ll feel much better for it too.
