TheDevilAside Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Make sure you just eat healthy. That means stay away from McDonald's, chips, pizza, and things that belong in that category as much as possible. Try to cut down on white sugar (not carbohydrates) and replace it with Sucanat instead... if you're the kind of guy that likes to put sugar on everything. Don't worry about protein too much, since you're not doing any drastic muscle development. I can't really be specific and tell you how many grams of X you should take, I would suggest seeing a qualified person for specific information. But I wouldn't worry about it anyway. Just eat and train healthy, and in moderation. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill

Shorin Ryuu Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 [insert plug for The Okinawa Program here] Like all the posts on this general topic, I'm going to recommend reading the Okinawa Program for general nutrition advice. You don't have to follow their specific program (I don't), but it gives you lots of just basic nutrition info all in one place, and that can help you decide what you want to eat. I could tell you to eat A and B and not eat C, but what you really need is to know why (pun intended...). Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
