Bodyindesign Nutrition Manual.

Until humanity can duplicate a blade of grass, Nature laughs at its so-called scientific knowledge.
Thomas Edison.

I don€t know about you but I want to live as long as I can- and be as healthy as I can. Offering myself up here as an example- I do practice what I preach. I walk the talk, each and every day. I could not ask a client to eat clean foods if I didn€t do it myself and looked like a lard arse. I have eaten what I call clean for years, since I was very young.
Food and it€s affects on the body, mind and spirit have always held a fascination to me.
As I grew older I studied nutrition and understood the importance of organic foods verses what passes today as food.
My nutrition knowledge and understanding evolved, in this manual I will explain how.
By €99 my diet was 90% organic. By late€99-my diet was 99% organic and I had stopped eating meat. In this manual I will discuss my thoughts on vegetarianism and my discoveries.

Now years later again I have evolved again.
Having been at both ends of the scale, I feel I have struck the right balance.
At 44 years of age and again offering myself as an example.
I have no ailments- no bad knees- no joint aches of any kind. I have boundless energy,
I work an average of 80 hours a week and sleep 4 hours a night. I have abs all the time and have not lost sight of them in 15 years.
I don€t tell you this to brag as hardly anybody who knows me has ever seen my body, but to give you an idea of what healthy eating is doing for me.
Oh and I eat a huge amount of calories a day, even when getting ready for a show or guest appearance.

I have searched for years for the perfect diet, if there is such a thing.
I believe I am close to it€"mother-nature recommends it--and I practice and preach her way.
I will cover my findings here, on how to have your optimum body composition.
How to carry it well and be healthy with it.
My approach to being contest ready and healthy- is also outlined here.
Again basic and as healthy as possible.
This manual will help instil in you the information you need €“the basics of nutrition, to once and for all, be the best you can be.

Live a long and happy life.
