Quality over Quantity


Processed foods (chips, cakes and cookies) are loaded with calories and provide you with little to no nutritional value. DUH! However, natural foods (such as fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables) are lower in calories and packed full of health boosting vitamins and minerals.
Cutting back on processed foods and replacing them with natural, nutrient rich foods is an vital part of achieving any health and fitness goal. Eating poor quality foods has a negative impact on your energy levels, your muscles and more and this makes succeeding with common health and fitness goals like weight loss or building muscle very difficult. However, eating natural foods has the opposite effect and provides your body with the fuel it needs to accomplish any health and fitness goal.
