Study Guide - Handout
NOT all fat is bad...
Remember: Don't just read FAT and think the worst. Your body NEEDS fat. Do your own research and make smart choices.
KEY POINTS:
Fats play a crucial role in our health. Joint structure and cell membranes are dependent on an adequate intake of healthy fats.
Muscle growth is dependent on a fat-based steroid hormone, so if adequate intake of fat is not met you will not build as much muscle as possible.
Foods containing omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are essential - the body cannot make them from other nutrients.
Plant based diet
KEY POINTS:
Eating a vegetarian, vegan, or plant-based diet does not mean you cannot be a strong, fit athlete.
Cam Newton and Alex Morgan both lead a plant based lifestyle.
If you eat lots of nutritious whole foods, there aren’t that many adjustments you need to make to go plant-based.
A lot of people go one day a week without meat. Some go one day a week with meat. Your diet is 100% up to you.
YOU HAVE TO BE A BIT CREATIVE TO GET EVERYTHING YOUR BODY NEEDS - BE SMART AND DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE JUMPING INTO A LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
