What to Eat

I love the "Talk To Me Johnnie" website.  Written by John Welbourn, NFL veteran and creator of CrossFit Football, this is an incredible blog with solid, no-bullshit articles about fitness and strength.  My favorite article is "Just Tell Me What To Eat..." where he dispenses diet advice handed down from "Chuck Norris" - hahaha.  There's a full list of what to eat, what to limit, and what to avoid.

The most basic element is to eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound you weigh.  John sums up the diet in another article:
This is about as basic as I can make it... for strength and good health…Eat meat, seafood, veggies, saturated and mono unsaturated fats, root veggies such as sweet potatoes and turnips, eggs, milk and cheese, limit fruit, nuts and seeds and avoid sugars, all grains and processed foods.
So there it is.  If you want to be strong and healthy, follow this plan.  Read the article: "Just Tell Me What To Eat..." then check out the rest of the site.  You won't be disappointed.
