Nutrition tips offered by Julie B Fit.

The food you’re eating must have a benefit for your body.

Eliminate as much “white” food as possible (rice, pasta, bread).

QUANTITY and COMBINATION (always think about it)

TIMING (must ALWAYS take in great protein within 45 minutes of a weight training session…that’s the crucial window when muscle fibers are rebuilding…if you give them the best fuel, muscles will rebuild perfectly)

Dark colored food is ALWAYS better for you than light colored. Rich colors mean more vitamins and minerals (dark lettuces, potatoes, etc.)

No substituting - if you want chocolate…eat dark chocolate with nuts/fruit in it. Instead of eating the substitute, then eating what you want ANYWAY, just get the craving done and move on

Try not to eat after 8pm at night

WATER, WATER, WATER. Many times when we think we’re hungry, we’re actually dehydrated….If you feel like eating, take an 8 ounce glass of water, drink it, wait 10 minutes. If you’re still hungry, eat, but you will rarely eat as much as you would have before. Keep drinking ALL DAY LONG.
