DIET DIRECTION AND METABOLISM
Metabolism: the rate at which the body breaks down, digests, and absorbs nutrients
-Rate at which the body uses energy
-Metabolism changes with health conditions (thyroid) and seasons
Building diet direction
-30-45% Carbohydrates, 25-30% Protein, 30-40% Healthy Fats
-Appropriate for those growing rapidly, competitive athletes, recovering from injury or illness
-Eat like a caveman/paleo – “eat meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar”
-Starch should be based upon exercise level
-What is not there: excessive omega 6s, gluten, soy, high fructose corn syrup

DIET STRUCTURE
The key to successfully applying a diet direction is to build the food plan on top quality whole foods
Food quality is diminished in most restaurants and with most packaged food items. Fresh is always best
Proper food choices provide a strong nutritional foundation for life; help protect us from the health challenges we encounter, and allow us to live up to our potential as dynamic, creative human beings

DIET STRUCTURE CONTINUED
What to eat?
![Page 7: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MACRONUTRIENTS
Source of calories and our raw materials for building
Consist of protein, fat, and carbohydrate
Quality is important
Need to be in right proportion
Must be well-digested
“Calories in do not equal calories out, but calories matter”
![Page 8: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MICRONUTRIENTS
Vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, phytonutrients
Functions: metabolize macronutrients, needed for hormone binding and activation, regulate pH, metabolism, cholesterol, and blood sugar
Major minerals: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorous, sulfur
Minor minerals: iron, copper, zinc, selenium, chromium, manganese, silicon, vanadium, boron, molybdenum
![Page 9: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PROTEIN
Basic building blocks that are used to build, maintain, and repair cells, enzymes, immune system and hormones
Protein has the highest satiety index of the three macros
TEF (Thermic effect of food): we actually burn calories digesting it
Displacement of carbohydrate ratio: by default, if your protein is high, your carb intake will be shifted lower
![Page 10: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PROTEIN CONTINUED
Choose animal proteins
Why?
-Complete amino acid profile
-Better secretion of glucagon (converts stored glycogen into glucose for energy)
-Vegetable or grain based protein have different amino acid profiles problematic due to anti-nutrients
Sources: red meat (quality), pork, chicken (organic), fish, eggs, whey, milk
![Page 11: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FATS
Common myths
-All fats are bad for you
-Cardiovascular disease is linked to consumption of fats, especially cholesterol
-A fat-free program is an important part of any weight loss program
Functions
-Serve as insulation, energy stores and help maintain cell functioning
-Required for hormone production: DHEA, cortisol, testosterone, estrogens
![Page 12: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SATURATED AND UNSATURATED FAT
Saturated Fat
-Primarily used for energy
-Solid at room temperature and least vulnerable to oxidative damage when heated
-Sources: Dairy fat, coconut oil, palm oil, tallow
Unsaturated fat
-Less stable than saturated
-Damaged by heat, can become oxidized
-Problems with unsaturated oils: oxidation (forms free radicals which cause damage to cell tissue)
![Page 13: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS AND INFLAMMATION Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs):
Omega 6 and Omega 3
Omega 6: safflower, soy, corn, sunflower, walnut
Omega 3: flax, hemp, chia, pumpkin, fish oils
Omega 3 and 6 help lower inflammatory response, increase insulin effectiveness, supports immunity, improves nerve function
When excess omega 6s are consumed, induces inflammatory response in the body
![Page 14: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CARBOHYDRATE
Carbs are non-essential but our first and main preferred source of energy
Essential for performance
-Glucose: most basic and easily used sugar. Broken down from starches (potatoes, rice, corn)
-Fructose: found in fruit
-Lactose: found in dairy
-High-fructose corn syrup: Almost the same composition as sugar
![Page 15: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CARBOHYDRATES AND PERFORMANCE
Crossfit is glycolytic (coverts glucose for energy) in nature
While we can convert fat and protein into glycogen, it’s too slow of a rate for immediate use, so carbs are our main source
High-intensity workouts use up our glycogen stores fast
Carbs are essential for recovery
Sources: potatoes, white rice, quinoa, oatmeal, fruit
![Page 16: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
90/10 RULE
This might be one meal a week, or one whole night. It’s your choice, whatever keeps you
sane!
![Page 17: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ARE YOU READY FOR CHANGE?
One habit at a time:
1. Select one habit
2. Write down your plan
3. Post your goal publicly
![Page 18: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SETTING GOALS: HOW TO
1. Put goals down in writing – it’s not written and recorded, it’s not a goal
2. Goals are specific and measureable – Toning up, bulking up, and getting healthier are vague notions and not goals. Losing 4 lb. of fat is a goal. If you can’t measure it or be specific about what it is that you want, it’s not a goal
3. Goals have a specific timeline – 5 weeks
4. Goals are realistic – you can set a goal to gain 5 lb. of muscle in a week but that’s not likely. Goals should reflect an accurate understanding of how long it actually takes to attain such a goal
5. A truly successful goal has a fifth quality: SIGNIFICANCE. You must aspire to accomplish something that’s personally meaningful
![Page 19: 2014 NUTRITION CHALLENGE: NUTRITION 101 NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE LONGEVITY](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/55191e8555034638428b4af9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
OUTCOME VS. BEHAVIOR GOALS
Outcome goals: Intended result that will occur from carrying out a behavior; a long-term measure of strategic effectiveness
A goal that you can’t directly control the accomplishment of the goal
Behavior goals: Goals framed around activities of the client that are under complete control of the individual
You can directly control the goal; it’s an action you can choose everyday to do every day.
