That said, exercise produces free radicals. And I don't plan on not exercising:) If you increase uptake of anti oxidants you should be OK if you take a quality fish oil from a single species. Train with purpose, Sandy Sommer RKC Jessica,

I'm not a big fan of it because of sustainability. I can't do fish oil as well because of this article sent by a friends which says it produces free radicals http://krilloil.mercola.com/krill-oil.html I'm confused!! Any suggestions?

Is that anything like the "Zone?" Thanks for your feedback:) Christian,

I think that is a good ratio. Is that anything like the “Zone?” Thanks for your feedback:)

I love how you write:) Different folks get different results using the same fuel...I find it interesting. To be honest, even if I eat crappy I still look OK but certainly don't feel as powerful! Laura,

Veggies I don't count as carb or protein. Cheat days are Sundays, my idea of cheating is a really loaded PB & J sandwhich. Oh, and make sure everything you eat is as clean and organic as possible... absolutely NO trans fats, preservatives, or ingredients that require a science text book to translate.<br /><br />This plus heavy KB traning = King Leonidas.

Just as your car won't run properly if you put the wrong kind of fuel in the tank, your body won't perform well during exercise if you fail to nourish it correctly. <br /><br />That said, what's "correct" for one person isn't necessarily appropriate for another. Since I'm not a dietician I don't "prescribe" diets for personal training clients, but I do suggest books for them to read (anything by Walter Willett is highly recommended!), and I give them some ideas as to what to watch out for, i.e., programs that encourage the use of fake food, programs that excessively limit fat and/or carb intake, etc. Beyond that, I encourage them to keep a food diary and workout log so they can take note of how performance and energy levels are affected by what they eat. Usually after a couple of weeks of this discipline most people have a pretty fair idea of what works for them and what doesn't. Sandy,

Maybe in a few weeks I'll stop being sore as I get used to the new harder workouts. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, I’m always sore and tired, but I eat mostly clean.
