A quick blog on nutrition

My musings on nutrition. Keep it Simple. Some people focus on powders, supplements, energy this and energy that. I, by no means, have the answers and for those marathoners and ultimate elites, you need those. But for me, a waddling penguin runner, I do not need fancy things.

I've become a big fan of books from Marion Nestle (What to Eat); Barbara Kingsolver ("Animal, Vegetable, Miracle") and enjoy following the blog Fooducate (http://www.fooducate.com/blog/). These books and blog focus not on restrictive diets or fads, they focus on defining good food and enjoying what you eat. The website offers grades on common foods and even has apps for the iphone (hopefully android soon!) to help you make responsible choices. Not eating just for the sake of eating. That's a mantra I can get behind. So if you ever have the time or desire to these are great resources.

Breaking the addiction to soda and fast food are hard but in the end you realize what you're NOT missing.

And seriously... its time for that bath.
