Debbie makes a very good point that if you get ill, you have to replace your nutrients more or less straight away when you feel well again. There is a difference between this and just chucking anything in your body when you’re feeling better, and it can make the difference between putting on a few pounds and maintaining your ideal weight, between creating new cravings and not creating them, developing new energy or feeling flat and deflated.
Its coming up to the weekend again, and the cravings will instantly start once we wave the white flag to the fattier and more sugary food friday, saturday and sunday.
Have you noticed its very hard to stop once we give in and start eating things we strictly do not eat during the week?
The quality of food you eat in the week always propels you to new heights, or drags you down to new lows.
The biggest myth out there is that if you really bust a gut, train extremely hard and really outdo yourself, then you can literally eat what you want. This is truly when a lot of people fall down because they are not replacing the lost nutrients that debbie talks about. Debbie actually talked about lose nutrients after illness but you still need to replace those lost nutrients after exercise too, or you’re not going to recover quickly simple as that!
The fitter you get and the longer you eat good, healthy nutritious food, the more you like the taste of this good food. Its all a process of getting used to it and discovering food CAN be nice in its natural state. All of those fatty sauces make me wheeze like mad, and me wheezing all day and producing lots of unwanted flem can be seriously bad for my day.
So the quality of food will be highly important for just about everything you want to achieve, so the question is, do you want to achieve a huge amount of not?!!
