Nutrition Fundamentals, Macronutrients, and Sumo Wrestlers
In upcoming blogs I plan to go over some advanced fat loss and nutrition strategies. However, sometimes when I get into more advanced strategies I can lose my audience when they don’t have the nutrition basics down. One important basic piece of nutrition knowledge is to understand what macronutrients are.
Macronutrients can be defined as being the classes of chemical compounds humans consume in the largest quantities and which provide bulk energy.
The 3 major macronutrients are: Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats.
To get a better understanding of the macronutrients, I’ve put together a four-minute educational video. Even if you already know these fundamentals, it’s good to get a refresher course from time-to-time. I also go over examples for each of the macronutrients so you can start planning your healthy eating right away.
You can also find out from this video the nutritional strategy of most sumo wrestlers, how they gain massive amounts of FAT, and how you might be inadvertently eating with the same strategy!!
