Fitness is nothing without food right? We can’t neglect what our bodies need, especially when we’re starting a new fitness regimen! We have tons of nutrition fun planned for our athletes this month. So far, we’ve discussed how to nourish our bodies properly and even made a trip to the grocery store. Finding foods of the highest quality and nutrients can be tricky when you’re on a budget. But our RD’s and DTR’s from Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios have helped the athletes make the best choices they can when grocery shopping and dining out. The athletes have really enjoyed seeing portion control being demonstrated and are always asking awesome questions. The interest in improving their diets has greatly strengthened their focus and is continuously helping them achieve new goals each week. We encourage them to record any nutrition questions or difficulties they have and share them with our volunteers, RDs, and DTRs.

Our mission is to make nutrition and eating healthy as easy as we can so the athletes are able to maintain healthy habits for a life time! We certainly do not expect that everyone knows how to prepare and cook healthy well-balanced meals so we have invited professional chefs from the International Culinary School to come and demonstrate quick and tasty meals that we can make at home with budget in mind. Our athletes are excited to improve their nutrition and will be receiving cook books so they can always have recipes to guide them through breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even the snacks. Nutrition is and will always be a major factor in weight loss but for these athletes we hope for much more than just pounds shed, we’re looking to rid them of any unhealthy habits and encourage a better relationship with food all together!
