We all become lost in the quality of food we sometimes eat…even if they just taste sooo good! But, there comes a time for junk food or unhealthy eating.
Making these simple changes to your diet will definitely help your performances! Remember, you are what you eat. Put the right fuel in your engine or blow a gasket…so to speak. Start off small. Make one or two changes this month and work your way towards each of these 7 changes in your diet.
1) Fast Food Burgers >>> Homemade Burgers
All you have to do is take ground beef, season it, and roll it in the shape of a burger. Throw it in the oven and you have the same thing. Only difference with homemade burgers is you know what it is really made of.
2) Fried Foods >>> Baked Foods
It makes no sense why people fry anything when it is so bad for you. Like fried foods do taste good but not that much better than a food you will bake. I guess my arteries are talking for me right now though.
3) Candy >>> Fruit
Candy cravings are your body’s call for some sweets. That is just what fruits are filled with and they are all natural sugars.
4) Chocolate >>> Granola Bars
Granola bars are not the healthiest things on the planet but they are way better for you than a chocolate bar.
5) Cakes & Pastries >>> Homemade Muffins
Make some muffins and use whole grain flour, put apple sauce in them, put chocolate chips in, and put some protein powder in. You will forget all about cake.
6) Bacon >>> Breakfast Steaks
Breakfast steaks are thin steaks that cook really fast on a frying pan. I make them right beside fried eggs but just don’t use oil use cooking spray and you have a much better meal.
7) Soda pop >>> Gatorade >>>Water
I’m not saying Gatorade is the greatest drink in the world but if you happen to be dehydrated from a hard day’s work, it will do more for you than a soda will. If you are a real ‘Go Hard’ athlete, than drink some water, but I know sometimes we like something sweet to wash food down with. It worked well for me as first I cut out soda and only drank juice, than Gatorade, and now all I drink is water. When I go grocery shopping I buy 0 juice products.
8 ) Hot Dogs/ Sausages >>> Lunch Meat
These meats are made in the most disgusting ways, but they just taste so good. Just go to the grocery store and buy sandwich meat and call it a day. A healthy day at that.
