The Mindset – Training & Nutrition
In order to successfully reach your fitness and health related goals, one must train the mind. Every day, millions of people make their way to fitness facilities for countless one hour training sessions, yet never see results. Why is that?
What people don’t realize is how much the mind can help you reach your goals more quickly. Having a positive mindset and thinking logically about your decisions goes a long way. If some type of training program doesn’t make sense to you, why would you do it? If you are someone who continues to reduce calories or stuffs their face with food to the point where you feel sick, is it working? No it’s not working!
Logically, that is not the right solution for you.
Hard work and being persistent with your training and nutrition is the key to success. Becoming an expert of your own body does not happen overnight for anyone, so don’t feel discouraged.
A big part of your mindset should be focused on nutrition. Nutrition plays the biggest role when trying to change your appearance or get in shape. Instead of spending hour’s online reading nutrition articles, I have given you some quick informational advice below. It is important to understand the importance of the essential nutrients and which role they play inside your body.
Macro Nutrients: Protein, carbohydrates, Fatty acids
Protein - Protein is used by the body to perform an enormous amount of different chemical processes in the human body. The most important one we are concerned about is its ability to repair muscle tissue.
Without proper protein intake, your body would go into a catabolic state (lose muscle/shrink) whereas having enough protein will put your body in an anabolic state (ability to build muscle).
Carbohydrates - Carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of fuel. It is important to understand that carbohydrates are not what make your body gain weight. Although carbohydrates are not the reason one adds extra weight to their frame, when attempting weight loss, carbohydrates should be decreased to an amount that just provides enough energy for your body to perform the task at hand (work, weight training, cardio, etc.).
Fatty Acids - Fats are considered the most energy-dense nutrient. They provide three major roles in the human body such as, protection of important organs, preserving heat within the body when in colder climates, and provide a large amount of stored energy within the body. Healthy fats are very important in ones diet because they help with brain function and regulate hormones.
Water + Micro Nutrients: Vitamins & Minerals
Water - Water intake is very important when trying to become more fit and healthy. One should drink at least 8 cups of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Individuals who exert more energy should drink even more that 8 cups in order to compensate for the liquid lost during activity. The human body cannot build muscle when it is dehydrated which is why alcohol is prohibited when trying to lose weight, build

muscle and look great. Water also is the medium by which chemical reactions take place in the body.
Without water, our bodies would slowly shut down.
Vitamins - A vitamin is a non-energy yielding, organic compound that’s essential to the body. Vitamins are used in metabolism to create energy through digestion, absorption, transportation and cellular metabolism. There are two categories vitamins are split into; they are water-soluble, and fat-soluble.
Minerals - Minerals are inorganic substances containing elements the body needs in small amounts.
Minerals can be obtained through our diet. If we eat an adequate amount of plants and meat products, our bodies usually have enough mineral nutrients to function properly.
