Nutrition is the key to any successful personal health program. Exercise, while an important part of a healthy lifestyle, requires fuel. And not just any fuel. There’s a saying among nutritionists: “put junk in, get junk out.” Your body needs a balanced, healthy diet to function at its best. So if you really want to get the most out of your workouts you have to put “good” in to get “good” out.

But it’s hard to get the nutrients your body requires. This is especially true when starting a fitness plan. Your muscles need a very specific combination of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates as you train. Without the proper nutrients, you could be doing more harm than good. You’ll feel abnormally exhausted and minor muscle twinges from a workout will become a source of major pain. It’s a problematic way to start out your new training regimen.

That latest fad diet might seem like a good solution, but how healthy is it really? Nutritionists have long warned about the dangers of fad and crash diets. And for good reason. Fad diets have ranged from the absurd (eating sea sponges) to the deadly (chain smoking). Starting the wrong diet or the right diet the wrong way can actually hurt your health and undo any good your exercise program might have done. You need a professional.
