Wildflower Talk on Nutrition

A friend wrote up notes I gave on practicalities for nutrition. These tips work if you can stick with them.

AM: Eat protein w/ fruit
PM: Last meal – higher protein
No hi GI carbs after 4:00 pm

Nighttime eating can cause weight gain

High GI post training
Eat Before training
Last meal heavier in protein w/fat

More bang for your buck with fruits & veggies, than breads and cereals

Input vs. output
more than = gain weight
less than = lose weight

Exercise control when you are not training (this will put weight on)

When you’re training focus on getting the balance right

Output: 20 minutes before dinner to elevate, dinner metabolism

Natural diet is easier for body to copy == avoid bread and cereal – better choice whole grains, oats, barley, flax

Alcohol will slow metabolism

Reducing intake while training will lower metabolism – be careful about this

Zn 1 training – go easy on calories
Zn 2/Zn3 – time to load up

Easy short sessions, easy on calories

Careful with sports bars/drinks for moderate rides – use bananas & water (chose real food)
