RJS Fitness Philosophy

Let's get back to basics shall we? Too many of us seem to have forgotten the basics about nutrition, exercise and the importance of taking ample rest and preparing our own food. Brainwashed by misinformation from Government and the pharmaceutical companies we no longer know what or who to believe. In this high-powered 'modern' world some of us are even becoming "too busy" to care for our own health.

Follow this basic, impartial philosophy for a lean, strong, energised body with a healthy immune system and a sharp mind:

Eat less starch, no sugar and eat meat or fish at every meal. Always eat breakfast. East as much green vegetables as you like (preferably Organic) and no more than 1 portion of local, seasonal fruit per day (very high in natural sugars). Snack on nuts. Dairy should be unpasturised, or avoided. Drink at least 2 litres of water per day and no fruit juice. Drink up to 6 cups of green/herbal tea daily and no more than 1 cup of normal tea or coffee. Avoid beer and spirits completely - occasional glass of wine is ok. Chocolate should be at least 70% coco and eaten in moderation. Include a good quality fish oil (e.g. Eskimo 3) as part of your daily nutriton. Saturated fat is not your enemy and does not cause heart disease. Cook with coconut oil, butter or olive oil; never with sunflower oil, vegetable oil or other so-called "healthy" seed oils. As a general guideline: if it says "healthy" it probably isn't! Always avoid the "light", "diet", "low-calorie" or "decaf" options, they are all far worse than the real thing. Replace your table salt with an unrefined sea salt (pink or grey appearance) and use liberally. Remove artifical sweeteners and flavourings (MSG - monosodium glutamate) from your diet forever. Use lemon/lime juice, chili, pepper, fresh herbs and spices to add flavour to your meals. Exercise hard for no more than 45mins, 4-5 times per week. Get at least 8 hours unbroken sleep per night - enjoy your rest, you will have earned it!
