I'd like to explain an important concept that most online trainers (even the "gurus") don't "get"... Have you ever heard that 'nutrition is common sense?' Have you ever thought about why the United States has an epidemic of overweight individuals and kids that are out of shape? Or that most people talk about how in their younger days they were able to do this and that. Yet these people are only 30 years old? Most people think nutrition is common sense.

One way to combat the boredom many people complain accompanies eating healthy is to "eat outside your box," by experimenting with new foods and cuisines and by challenging your long held notions about what to eat and when.
