YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Why nutrition is important. Eating a balanced diet is vital for good health and wellbeing. Food provides our bodies with the energy protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to live, grow and function properly. We need a wide variety of different foods to provide the right amounts of nutrients for good health.

The intense activity of strength training places great nutritional demands on your body. However, eating in excess in order to drive muscle growth can add fat mass to your frame, diminishing your appearance and inhibiting your physical performance. Following a meal plan that provides you with adequate nutrition for strength training will allow you to add muscle mass without gaining fat.
