In order to maintain a lean, strong, healthy body, you need to be feeding it correctly. If you combine your workouts with a healthy eating plan, then you are on your way to a high performance lifestyle.
Here are 3 nutrition rules every surfer should follow to keep your body in peak condition...
#1 - Eat 5-6 times per day (about every 3 hours)
eg. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, after dinner snack. Eating regularly (with healthy foods in appropriate portion sizes) will help increase your metabolism and give you energy throughout the day.
#2 Try to eat a serve of vegetables or fruit with every meal, including snacks. Fruit and veggies contain lots of vitamins and minerals to keep you fit and healthy.
#3 Eat a serve of protein with every meal. Protein helps you build muscle and maintain your lean body mass as well as helps you feel full if you are trying to drop a bit of body fat. Good sources of protein include: fish, lean beef, chicken, turkey, eggs, low fat milk & yoghurt, unsalted nuts and whey protein supplements.
In addition to this make sure you are drinking lots of water and focus on eating whole grain carbs instead of highly processed carbs (eg. oats, wholegrain cereal, wholemeal bread, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, quinoa, etc.)
If you adopt these eating patterns and train then you are on your way to a transforming your body into a lean, mean, surfing machine!
Here is my fitness formula for success...
Functional Training Workouts + Smart Nutrition = Lean Body & Functional Performance (feel better, move better, surf better!)
