A Nutrition Strategy from Shawn Phillips

For those of you who are not familiar with Shawn, he's been on top of the fitness industry for decades; heading up the marketing for EAS, MET-RX, author of AbSolution and his most recent Strength for Life (among many others). Shawn is also the older brother of Bill Phillips, author of Body for Life.

Needless to say he's full of knowledge! I was fortunate enough to meet Shawn at Transformation Domination a few weekends ago in Tampa.

That weekend, Shawn had shared alot of great content but here's one basic yet valuable nutrition tip that can help any one to start eating better: Strive to have just one meal that you know is going to be as close to perfect as you can get. Essentially, a meal that looks as good on paper as it does in your body. From there, progressively more towards 2 meals, 3 meals etc.

I love that. Too often people try to completely change their diet and start a brand new training program all at the same time. When these people fail miserably they start blaming the system ("I tried to eat right and workout but it just doesn't work for me") and give up.

Rather then trying to become the next John or Jane Basedow over night, set some smaller goals and work at getting better at those goals each day.

As mentioned above, Shawn has a ton of great content out there. Check him out:
