The Game Changers Review - A Scientific Analysis (Updated) | Biolayne

Have you watched The Game Changers on Netflix? Please don't go changing your whole diet based on this documentary. There is a lot of misinformation and inaccurate science in there. Don't believe everything you see, hear or read about nutrition in the media. Of all the reviews I have read, this is the best so far.

Think before you snack. Pear = 50 calories, no fat, and natural sweetness. 5 snack size leftover Halloween candy = 400 calories, 20g fat, and 40g added sugar.

Love this idea of a "reset plan." There is no need for cleanses as your body naturally cleanses itself of toxins. That is what your liver and kidneys do for you. Instead, try helping your body do its job by eating nutritious, natural, unprocessed foods.

Did you go a little crazy this weekend food-wise? Then you might need this easy reset plan.

Sport supplements for runners | WorldwideRunning.com

"Hands down, the most effective way to enhance sports performance is via your day-to-day sports diet, coordinated with a consistent training program. . . Despite the ads you see for a zillion sports supplements, very few have strong proof of directly enhancing performance. These include caffeine, creatine, specific buffering agents, and nitrate. Period." -- Nancy Clark, sports nutritionist and author of the Sports Nutrition Guidebook. Great summary of sports supplements in this article. http://www.worldwiderunning.com/sport_supplements.php

“I’ve always been on the bigger side,” she said. “For a long time I felt like I needed to look like Shalane Flanagan or Mary Keitany to do well, especially in the marathon, where everyone talks about how lean others are . . . If there’s anything I could pass along to younger runners: Love yourself, eat healthy through your college years, and you’ll be stronger on the other side.”

Eat right, be healthy, be strong! Congratulations Allie Kieffer!
