While at the CHEK Institute last weekend I was confronted yet again with the importance of nutrition and the role that it plays in our goals of dropping body fat. Since becoming a personal trainer so many of my clients have struggled with this over the years so I’m going to make it REALLY simple. I’m reducing all of our diets…yes, I am doing this as well…to the bare minimum – To the macro and mirco-nutrients that we need to survive and operate at our peak level, and nothing else. Paul Chek talks about the 3 choices we always make: the optimal, the suboptimal, and the indifferent.

-The optimal always produces the best outcome for everyone involved.

-Suboptimal often produce what we want, but create friction in relationships with others. They cause pain, but they are still useful choices because they produce life experience, which is necessary if we are to evolve.

-The indifferent choice is choosing to do nothing. It is almost always the worst decision we can make because it halts our own self evolution.

So for the month of June I am choosing to only eat meats, eggs, above ground vegetables, olive oil, coconut oil & avocado. Organic is preferred and HIGHLY recommended. Veggies served raw are also HIGHLY recommended (although I’m sure I’ll cook some as well).
