FOOD = FUEL. Nothing more, nothing less.  We want it be more, but it just isn’t.  We wouldn’t feed our pets different foods for every meal because they looked happy or sad, so why do you do that for You?

Many athletes ask me how to become lighter while training hard.  They express to me that they workout so many hours each week, but end up eating so much more to fuel themselves for challenging workouts.  “So why can’t I lose weight while I am building my training hours?”  and “Why am I so hungry and crave foods after an endurance workout?”
