Food is Fuel

Control the things you can

  • Learn to read the labels to find the hidden fats
  • How Fuel is prepared is as important as what it is.  A vegetable deep fried does not accomplish your objective
  • Protein portions should be no bigger than your palm
  • 5 or 6 Small meals a day is optimal
