DO NOT BE DECIEVED!

If you are an athlete over 31-35 years of age you CAN NOT exercise away a bad diet. I had a conversation this last week with an athlete who has qualified for the 2012 Olympics in London and he/she was trying to keep his/hers weight down mid season doing cardio when they are involved in an anaerobic sport. A couple things, a bad diet is not limited to too many calories. It could be too little protein, too little fat, wrong kinds of protein, wrong kinds of fat, too little carbs or the wrong kinds of carbs. It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age, elite athletes are still getting BAD advice.
