Fundamentals of Nutrition & Fat Loss


I'm always one for a good article on nutrition fundamentals, particularly if it's conveyed sensibly and can be applied in my clients' lives. That being said, Nick Tumminello wrote a solid piece I recently came across entitled "The Fundamentals of Nutrition & Fat Loss" for Strength Coach.com, an organization I am a proud member of. My September newsletter will contain a full breakdown of the highlights I extracted from the article, but here are a few to get your August nutrition practices on track:



  • "What you eat and how you eat it can really make or break the effectiveness of your program, regardless of how good it is."

  • If you drop your calories too low, you will drastically slow down your metabolism and your body will start to feed off muscle tissue.

  • A negative calorie food is one that requires more energy to digest than it provides (i.e. celery, spinach, and lettuce).

If you enjoyed the above and would like to see more, continue to check out my constantly-updated blog and monthly newsletters. In addition, I'd strongly consider registering for Strength Coach.com, the best source for the leading information on strength & conditioning.
