you exercise on "fumes" or "fuel"?!
2. Do you train and compete 3/4 times a week and
have little time to
recover.
Injury prone?
4. Do you consume a sugary sports drink before
exercise? Sugary snacks and drinks
can put the body in storage mode when it
needs to be in release mode.
5. Are you focussed on carbo
loading leaving your blood
sugar in yo-yo mode? Do you
crave certain types of food after exercise. e.g.
carbohydrate foods.
6. Focussed on
nutrient
timing as well as quantity (how much food you are
eating and quality (the type of nutrient, such as carbohydrate,
protein or fat).
7. Do you drink enough
fluids
during training / competing? Do you suffer from
the negative effects of dehydration such as muscle cramps,
fatigue and headaches? Dehydration
being one of the biggest problems in sports
8. Do you utilise the "30 minute window" for
refuelling
your body after exercise?
10. Are you topping up your body with nutrients?
Exercise drains
nutrients,
required to utilise your fuel supply, from the body
11.
Aware that when your at your fittest your
immune
system is often at its most vulnerable and therefore
your susceptible to colds and flus etc
12. Match nerves / tension,
high stomach acid levels ?
14. Do you neutralise your free

Aiming
For Peak Performance
The science of sports
nutrition is complex and often confusing,
but it can be simplified into these basic
components:
Fuelling, Hydration Refuelling, Repairing,
Recovery Our products are highly
digestible and absorbable carbohydrates,
proteins and essential fatty acids-all required
by the body to help with peak performance.

Finding the optimum foods to help
you in your quest for greater performance
is not easy. These days it can be
argued that intensive farming,
global warming and long distance
travel have depleted our
foods of their best nutrition.
What to look for is the best
fuel possible which is easy
to use, convenient and tastes great!
More information at
food for thought.
Why a sports diet? Sports
nutrition is more than just carbo
loading! Its about a complete programme
of fuelling, hydration, refuelling,
repair and recovery. Mix of slow
and quick release carbohydrates,
high quality proteins (without fat
and calories from animal protein)
and essential nutrients.
What is the difference between these
products and other supplements available
from the chemist or supermarket?

The Reality
Sports nutritionist "I spent years encouraging
sports people to take care of their diet and nutrition and
to consume organically grown, locally produce
and cook for themselves rather eat processed foods with
limited success. Now I suggest they take shakes as part
of their daily routine. Then I know they get the right balance
of nutrients -slow release carbs, easily absorbed proteins,
mineral and vitamins. Its the first nutrition where my athletes
have been able to feel the difference"
2 star - Fast food, processed food and sugary snacks.
6 star - Formula 1/2/ H3 Pro products and more (high
quality ingredients and easily absorbed by the body)

glycemic index
