Picture an iceberg - the tip is exposed above the water whereas the bulk of the iceberg is submerged beneath the water. You may be thinking what does an iceberg have to do with nutrition?
Well, the entire iceberg represents an overall health and fitness regimen with the tip of the iceberg being the exercise component and the underwater portion the nutritional component. Most people think that exercise alone will help to transform their body but in reality nutrition is the main driver for a successful transformation (nutrition making up 80% and exercise 20%). Looking good on the outside does not necessarily mean you look good on the inside, but looking good on the inside will in turn make you look healthy and beautiful on the outside.
Now that I have gone over the basics of exercise in my EXERCISING 101 series, I will be presenting a NUTRITION 101 series over the next couple of weeks.
There is a lot of confusion about what foods are good or bad, nutritional labels, carbs (good or bad for you?), diets, portion sizes, etc. I will cover a range of topics in my NUTRITION 101 series that I hope you will find easy to understand and informative. And if there are any specific areas you would like me to cover feel free to let me know!
So stay tuned!
