Foods to Include/Foods to Avoid

Some foods to include are lots of whole wheat carbohydrates such as whole wheat pastas or whole wheat cereals and grains. I also recommend eating plenty of bananas. They're tasty and delicious, prevent cramps and are filled with energy. Be also sure to be drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Although protein is good and you may be tempted to eat lots of high protein meats and protein bars, too much protein will just exit out your system because protein cannot be stored like fats.


Of course foods to avoid are fatty, salty, sugary, treats such as candy bars, potato chips, and Hot Pockets. Also try to stay away from a super large amount of excess carbs and sugar. This can be easily avoided by switching from white rice or white bread to brown rice or wheat bread. Whole grains are a lot better but taste just as good.
