Proper Nutrition-Jake Harris

    There's been many debates over the years on what sort of diet is the best. Popular idea's of diets that have been used are: Keto, Paleo, Carnivore, Vegan, Atkins, and many more. Some of these diets do work for people, but I think none of these diets are maintainable. For example, if you were to do Keto and you can only have 13 to 0 grams of carbohydrates, would you be able to sustain that for the rest of your life? The answer is likely no, so on this blog I will explain the easiest way to get or maintain good shape!


1. EAT WHEN YOUR HUNGRY
  • When your body tells you that your hungry, that means you need calories
  • If your slightly hungry then have a snack like a banana or a handful of nuts

2. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
  • If for example your body can't process milk or dairy it's best to avoid it.

3.EAT SMART AND IN MODERATION
  • If you know something isn't healthy, it's probably best not to eat it
  • A Hamburger at McDonalds isn't good for you, but it's ok to have it occasionally
4.DON'T OVERFILL YOUR STOMACH
  • It's never the best to overfill your stomach with food 
  • It's best to feel no longer hungry than really full.
5.DRINK ONLY WATER 
  • This one is probably the hardest for most people
  • The more you drink water however, the easier it gets
6. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF
  • This is a very common misconception in which people think that starving yourself is going to make you lose weight
  • Starving yourself actually slows down your metabolism which breaks down all the food you consume

Personal Experience with Health and Fitness

    My Journey With Health And Fitness        All my life, I've struggled to fit in at school. Growing up in one of the most depressing states, Pennsylvania, where the weather was always cold, and there was nothing to do but go to the movies or go to the mall, life felt like a perpetual cycle of boredom. As I graduated middle school and began my ascent towards high school, I joined the Varsity Football team and it was the worst experience of my life.      Despite breaking my back for two full seasons, I never managed to play a single game. I watched my parents sitting in the stands with disappointment in their eyes. At the end of my sophomore year of high school, I moved. I gave up football, and my life began to tailspin. Upon not being able to make friends, heartbreaks with girls', struggles in the classroom, and feeling as if I did not fit in no matter where I was, I dove into a deep depression. It was at that moment I promised myself ...

Personally, I work out 7 times a week and from personal experience over the past 3 years It's been an amazing adventure. I figured myself out as a person, I felt better about myself, and I'm now starting to figure what I wanna do as a major in college.
