Life of Adventure

This is my world, Planet Robert. I am turning this site into a place to share my adventures and love of the great outdoors. I am going to blog about my time spend outside and I even will have a GPS tracking system to track my trips out in the world.

Eating Right - Friday, 18 May 2012 06:00

Part of my training for biking and kayaking among other things is my diet.  I believe that eating the right things can make a difference in not only your ability to perform well at sports but also make a big difference in life.

First off I want to make it clear that I am NOT a medical or nutritional professional and you should seek professional advice before making changes to your routine or diet.

I eat a simple diet but it packed with all shots of great things to keep you going.  I like pizza and chips as much as the next guy but I try to keep these to a minimum. 

I have begun juicing about a month ago and it is amazing.  I love the veggie juice that I make myself, I never really have been a fan of the premade vegetable juice products.  Juicing whole natural vegetables is a big part of my daily diet, I have it for breakfast every day.  Some people lose a ton of weight juicing but I have only lost small amounts of weight but that was not my prime reason for doing this.  I wanted to be healthier and more fit and diet can play a major role.

I have a vegetarian burger that I make out of bulgar wheat and walnuts.  This is a staple in my diet, I can change the flavor every time I make it by musing up the spices I use.  I eat it like cereal, in tacos, burritos, mix it with beans for a chili just to name a few uses. 

I eat fruit and veggies every day in addition to my juicing.  This is important to help get fiber and roughage in my diet.

I am trying to eat healthy and help myself to stay fit by having a proper diet.  I think I am achieving this goal and am loving it.
