Nutrition

Any physical effort burns energy in the form of calories. Your diet provides this energy and not all diets are alike.

Several mechanisms are involved when calories are expended. In order to meet our energy-burning needs, we need to work together to:

• Understand the different sources of energy
• Estimate your calorie needs
• Avoid “fad” diets
• Create a nutrition plan matching your needs
• Consider adding a supplement if needed

A healthy, balanced and sustainable diet is essential whenever you undertake a regular fitness program. This will lead to a higher level of performance and better overall results.

To create the best energy stores, we will focus on:

• Cutting out simple sugars
• Consuming good fats
• Eating more vegetables
• Adding protein to your meals

And, of course, adopting the good habit of drinking at least one litre of water per day!
