FACES OF THE VALLEY
How do I eat healthy without giving up my favorite foods?

Be honest with yourself. You don’t need to give them up–but eating pizza, fries, and ice cream daily won’t get you to a long healthy life. Enjoy your favorites sometimes, and fuel your goals the rest of the time.
What should I eat before and after workouts you ask?

Eat foods that agree with your stomach–you don’t need or want any gastric distress. Timing doesn’t need to be exact, and burning calories isn’t an excuse for junk. Think fuel and recovery, not reward.
What’s the fastest way to lose fat and get fit?

Here’s what to do…

Make fitness, healthy eating, and prioritizing sleep an everyday habit. There are faster ways—but they usually burn you out or injure you. This is the way that works and lasts.
