Go Fast & Go Slow Foods #cyclingcoach

The first framework I want to teach you is about go fast and go slow food groups. Go fast food groups are nutrient-dense, high satiety food choices that support training and recovery foods like leafy green vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and high quality carbohydrates and healthy fats. These foods help keep you full. They help stabilize your blood sugar, reduce cravings, and fuel your athletic performance.

Go slow foods are energy dense, usually processed and easy to overconume. Stuff like pastries and cookies, alcohol, chips, fried foods, sodas, candy. Most break room snacks and anything with added sugar. Now, we're not saying never eat these.

We're just saying know when and how much. And most cyclists don't need a very strict diet. They just need to make better choices more often. So swapping go slow foods for go fast foods is the number one step to win in the kitchen.
