Before we discuss specific question's, let me explain that the main take-away point from today deals with nurtition.

This is an important concept that most online trainers (even the "gurus") don't "get":

Have you ever heard that 'nutrition is common sense?'

Have you ever thought about why the United States has an epidemic of overweight individuals and kids that are out of shape? Or that most people talk about how in their younger days they were able to do much more physically? Yet these people are only 30 years old?

Most people think nutrition is common sense. However, they are completely wrong.

You see, common sense isn't specialized knowledge, but just native good judgment. Many times common sense is applied to many things in life through learned behaviors from parents, teachers, mentors or coaches. We build a majority of this common knowledge through what we see as well. An example would be that driving on the right or left side of the road is common sense in your country. This common sense is obtained from what you see and experience.

This leads to the question of what are the biggest problems when it comes to nutrition?

The REAL four biggest problems regarding nutrition and common sense include:

Nutrition and Common Sense Problem #1:

You learn what to eat from T.V. How crazy is that? I don't think I've seen a good commercial that focuses on simple, proper eating habits. It's always about diets, points, fad diets, crazy workout stuff or fast food. Since many kids watch plenty of T.V. they don't understand why sugar cereal isn't part of a complete breakfast.

Nutrition and Common Sense Problem #2:

You learn from what you see at home. If you were a witness to a lot of healthy eating habits (fruits, vegetables, moderate portions) then you probably learned the bul'k of your good eating habits from your parents or guardians.

Nutrition and Common Sense Problem #3:

You learn to finish everything that is placed in front of you. Does it matter if your hunger was satisfied half-way through the meal? Or have you been told that it was rude not to eat everything? You start to learn that finishing what is in front of you is more important then whether you are hungry or not.

Nutrition and Common Sense Problem #4:

You learn nutrition at school. Some schools have good programs. Many do not. The only exposure most school children receive is the food pyramid. Then they are served unhealthy food at lunch period including fish sticks and a variety of other unhealthy items. Only a few schools have a very healthy lunch option. It's pretty rare. Students learn more about ancient Egyptians then about how to put together a healthy meal. Kids are left wondering what the heck is a complex carb?

This is an important concept -- so let me break it down and explain it in detail.

Most things we learn are common sense. It's common sense not to touch a hot stove. Why? Somebody told you or you tried it and your body responded by telling the pain receptors in your hand that it didn't like that.

You learned the stove was hot and not fun to touch. Common sense. It didn't require any specialized knowledge.

Then it hit me...

Neither should nutrition. It doesn't require any specialized knowledge to eat correctly. Surprisingly, it's not common sense.

The reason most people constantly make nutrition mistakes is because they were neve'r correctly taught!

They received a lot of information from T.V., which heavily promoted diets, fast food, and sugar cereals.

Their parents didn't learn either so they passed that onto their children.

There's a pressure to finish everything that is put in front of you (don't be wasteful) ignoring the absence of the hunger feeling.

There is a blatant lack of sound nutrition in most schools. You learn how to read in school. You learn how to write. You learn how to solve math problems. You learn history and you learn different cultures.

I'll bet you can guess what happened next...

You neve'r learned the definition of a complete meal.

You can make up for lost time by learning that right now...

A complete meal always includes a lean protein and a natural, complex carbohydrate. The optimal meal for muscle-building and fat-burning purposes contains three things:

1. Lean protein (chicken, fish, egg whites, etc) 2. Starchy carb (potato, rice, etc) 3. Fibrous carb (broccoli, green beans, salad, etc)

And that, Frank, is the biggest benefit of having a complete meal and understanding just how simple it is to create meals with these three steps.

Watch for your next issue of this mini-course, where I'll reveal the single most important question about how much cardio should you do.

Yours For Continued Success,
