I know this is always something that needs to be taken with a thought process that allows you a learning curve that is outside an obvious physical exertion but the relationship between the thought and the action is very conected
Carl Lewis diet for fitness
Diet for fitness
I have written a few times about the importance of eating well for athletic preformance.
Nutrient-dense foods that time and again promote good overall health. Coined “superfoods,” such as Beans (legumes), berries (especially blueberries), broccoli, green tea, nuts (especially walnuts), oranges, pumpkin, salmon. soy, spinach, tomatoes, turkey, whole grains and oats, and yogurt, tend to have fewer calories, higher levels of vitamins and minerals, and many disease-fighting antioxidants.
As the base of a balanced, solid diet, weight loss gimmicks and other supplement offerings can become a thing of the past in your life.
The effect on a certain part of the body of the correct food, can also affect the health of other body functions and performance, since the whole body is connected.
I found this interview with the man Carl Lewis on eating a vegan diet I know he is long retired and trying to be an actor out in Hollywood but the principles he talks of regarding an eating regime are well proven and relevant today.

Training your thoughts
Again I find myself commenting on a subject outside Triathlon sport itself, but at the same time it has a direct bearing on lifestyle quality, which for me is subset of the mission statement I work with in reference to what message I want to convey to all that stumble across this content.
As is evident around you in the western world, obesity has a grip on a large percentage of the population.
The problem keeps rising because of inactivity and poor eating decisions that individuals themselves make.
Are the decisions you make influenced by your immediate circle of influence ,that is your friends or family or is the huge agribusiness that operates in the commercial underbelly of consumer thought manipulation responsible for the life style options that people adopt.
As always the more awareness you bring into your decision making, the more power you gain back from elements that seek to access you for their financial and herding manipulation.
By seeking a lifestyle that requires your body to be efficiant you need be fueled by subtances that support your body and the earth in substanability and not to the detriment of our resources just for the sake of the almighty dollar.
By stepping up to the start line you activate your ability to see through things that you may have accepted as being just the way things are. It does not mean you become a vegan radical or clothe your self in a smug righteousness as you pound your way around the street in your new Nikes ( Brand
herding).
By creating a situation where you become a small percentage of the population going in a different direction to the herd, you are able to see the manipulation that goes on to gain your body as the receptacle for offerings proffered by entities that have no qualms about spreading a lie to sustain the bottom line profit.
I though this video said some things that is good for people to be aware of.
Obese guy triathlon training
Vic Biberston knows what it’s like to be the fat guy, the last one chosen for sports teams. He knows what it’s like to ride the diet roller coaster of weight loss and gain.
As he says Let me be clear, I alone am responsible for my physical condition. My weight is the empirical evidence of simple nutritional mathematics, I have eaten more calories than I have burned. When calories in is greater than calories burned you gain weight. Do that year over year, and you end up shopping in the big and tall men’s store because the other stores simply don’t have your size.
Weight and the ability to control it has many causes but at the end of the day how you treat your body by what goes in and what measures you take to exercise will by the result you look at in the mirror.
One of his co-workers, a former triathlete, casually mentioned he’d like to get in shape to compete again.
For the past nine months, he has made it his goal to take part in a triathlon. He even created a Web site, www.obesetotriathlete.com, to share his experiences and track his progress.
I so encourage this sensible approach to using sport as motivational anchor to make positive changes to your life, when problems arise from weight challenges it is a tilt towards the real depression cycle that impacts a wider circle of people.
Any time you undertake a training program The list of general , specific training activities need to be organized.
With any program, skills must go from general to specific, basic to complex.
* Athletes must establish general conditioning , this is a most important factor I have seen so many athletes get hurt and disillusioned by not being prepared
before doing complex lactic acid workouts.
* You must develop the ability to accelerate before doing speed endurance. Again this could be a issue to be debated but I believe good form and the ability to
know how to run fast is the first and intrinsicely important element of training
* And beyond that these skills must be broken down further as well as addressing other biomotor abilities
Establish a clear, specific goal for the training plan.
Do you want to win a State Title ? beat joe bloggs on the bike who always trashed you last season, but you had him in the run.
You have to set your intention on a specific goal by focusing on the end result and then working backwards.
This is one of the most overlooked , difficult components of the training plan.
1. But if you don’t start with the end goal and end date and work backwards, you can’t get a true understanding of how to progress your training.
Don’t forget that competitions must be factored into the overall conditioning plan as well.
You can get going with out the surgery of gastric partitioning or gastric stapling that Joe went through.
I know diet is a four-letter word.But if you need something as a motivator and tie it inClick Here! with your training remember though… If you’re dieting, that’s a temporary state of being. At some point, the diet has to end.’’ look at eating as nutrition: ‘‘Let’s call it that. It’s a lifestyle.’’
Go Joe and everyone else out there that has the courage to step up to the start line
