NOTE

Balance is Key to Enjoying Food

Maintaining a healthy relationship with food involves avoiding excessive restrictions, allowing for occasional indulgences in treats like chocolate and cake. This balanced approach prevents cravings from building up over time, as demonstrated by a consistent eating pattern throughout the year, including during off-seasons. Effective management of body weight hinges on enjoying quality food in moderation during festivities, with an emphasis on not letting weight fluctuations deter from overall well-being. In terms of training, understanding carbohydrate intake is crucial; for strenuous exercises, the goal is to consume between 120 grams of carbohydrates per hour, adjusting between drinking and eating based on exertion levels. Developing the ability to handle significant carbohydrate amounts while training may require a period of acclimatization.
