A lot of fad diets talk about “carb cutting”. This is half true. We should be cutting down our simple carbs like breads and sweets, but eating more complex carbs like potatoes, vegetables and pasta. Believe it or not athletes in general over eat their protein but we only need about 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day and it should be spaced out throughout our day. Polyunsaturated fats like nuts, fish oil and olive oils are the fats we need and avoid saturated fats like deep fried foods and butter or margarine. Strict diets are tough to adhere to so make small choices to improve the way you eat.
Happy Holidays!
