Running 101 : From the couch to my first marathon (6)

Modern diet is crap.
Processed food.
Commodity food.
Compensatory food.
Take out food.
Take in food.
Crap food.

Remember, You are what you eat. If you want to run, you need to eat.
You want to run well, you need to eat well, that's as simple as that.

Lucky enough, my lovely wife is cooking healthy.
Sometimes on the light side though :)

There is no secrets about the good food and bad food. Avoid quick carbs, they are rich and not fulfilling. Except if you are actually in the middle of a run, it is likely you are just gonna store them as fat.
Fat is good, but watch the quantities. Calories multiply by 2 compare to proteins and carbs.
Alcohol is very rich as well, and won't help for this long run tomorrow.
Keep it light, keep it simple, keep it raw when possible.
And remember, except if you are vegetarian, you are eating too much meat. Modern diet is all about meat, unfortunately. Proteins are good, but not **that** good.

That was short... When people are writing dozen of books about the proper perfect diet. And the diet industry is certainly the most important one in the world.
All that is a giant fad.

'Keep it light, keep it simple, keep it raw when possible".

Marks my words, one day they might be the title of next trendy book around.

But most likely, they won't.
