The Fifteen Commandments Of Sports Nutrition

Don't remember where I originally saw this:

I. Eat enough food.

II. When in doubt, drink more water.

III. Get enough sleep.

IV. Beware of over-training and over-activity.

V. Avoid junk food.

VI. Eat at least 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, or more.

VII. Choose low GI carbohydrates over high GI carbohydrates.

VIII. Avoid ingesting raw eggs or raw egg whites.

IX. Take a multivitamin.

X. Stay away from the "S" brand of supplements (that means “steroids”)

XI. Keep dietary fat below 30% and avoid saturated fats.

XII. Listen to your body - don't think of it as your opponent or an object.

XIII. Forget about smoking, drinking, and recreational drugs.

XIV. Set goals and use variation consciously at least every few months.

XV. Genetics are no excuse.
