So many triathletes manage their nutrition quite well during the week and then Friday comes…….
They’ve spent all week going without the foods they like and not drinking.
They’ve been getting up early to go training, doing a days work and then maybe training again – it is a punishing schedule.
Sure, they will train at the weekend but the weeks restriction and sacrifice takes its toll.
Especially when social situations create temptation:
Alcohol and food.
Whats the answer?
Follow a diet which does NOT feel so restrictive.
Quite simply, if you are able to consume foods that you like and look forward to, you won’t crave stuff.
Arguably the same is true of alcohol – a small glass of wine a night will likely do little harm.
However 7 small glasses on a Friday will!
Losing fat does NOT have to mean eating just salads and low calorie, tasteless food.
It’s one of the reasons I wrote my E-book – The Triathlete Nutrition Code:
Yes, it teaches you how to set up the perfect diet for your athletic goals.
How to set calories for YOU.
How to manipulate macro nutrient ratios for YOUR body type.
But it also gives you recipe ideas for the endurance athlete.
Food which will fuel your training and help you recover well.
But the best bit……
It’s tasty and doesn’t make you feel like you’ve NOT eaten.
For £9.99 ($12 ish) that is very good value indeed!
