Sup yall, SUGALOO here after selling some more tea lol.
Ok today I wana talk about the importance of conditioning your body through diet.
The food you consume daily is what energize your body to move.
It is your life source and being reckless about it could make a big difference specially for those who use their body.
Its similar to a camp fire.
If you want the fire(you) to be strong and to last for a long time, you would need to find a healthy, thick dried wood(food) that will burn for a long time.
Eating junk food is like using a wet, thin branches that contains no minerals and vitamins needed to maintain our body that burns out really fast.
Therefore, dancers having a poor diet habit is extremely unprofessional since their body should mean everything to them.
acknowledging that, I've began creating my own diet menu using a website called Cramer Japan:Athletic Solutions.
The website list the following solutions.
<1> Staple Diet
This refers to rice, bread, banana, food that contains starchy material which includes natural sugar that helps to energize your body. Having this is essential to get your body to move.
<2>Main Dish
This refers to food such as meat, fish, egg, tofu, those that are rich in protein. Choosing good quality main dish is important because protein recovers the muscle tissue that you've broken from working out and also is an essential source for growth for youth.
<3> Vegetables(Green Food)
This is part of diet that most people lack in consuming. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that conditions your body, prevent constipation, and enhances the strength of tendons and ligaments.
I know MANY people hates green peppers, carrots, and spinach, but those are one of the best vegetables to consume for vitamins and minerals.
<4> Daily food
Daily food such as Milk, cheese,yogurt is full of calcium and vitamins that is necessary for body growth.
The webpage recommend 2 cups of milk every day.
<5> Fruits
Great source for natural Vitamin C. Recommended to take fruits such as orange, grape fruits, strawberry and kiwi.
So, the dish I've come up with according to the recommendation of the webpage looks like this!!!
Breakfast....
1= Peanuts Butter Bread
2= Flied Egg
3= Mixed Salad
4= Glass of Milk
5= Kiwi
Lunch....
1= Bowl of rice
2= Flied Egg
3= Miso Soup
4= Glass of Milk
5= Kiwi
Supper!!!
1= Bowl of rice
2= Grilled Pork
3= Mixed Salad
4= Glass of Milk
5= Kiwi!!! lol
I've continued to watch my diet for couple month since May and it actually worked.
Setting the time to eat (breakfast 7AM,lunch 12PM,supper 7PM) creates a good habit to you body that I felt my body functioning much smoothly for the past couple month.
I've been slacking lately so I have to get back to it but this is definitely something to think about if you wish to transform your body or get it set up to practice dancing hardcore.
Hope this helps you to watch you diet!
Peace and God Bless

P.S
My first twin egg lol
Hey sug! This looks like a really good diet! But also be mindful of your schedule during the day. Eating big meals three times a day is ideal; it takes a person an average of 4 hours of digest their food. However, smaller, healthy snacks (e.g. celery/carrot sticks, fruits, etc.) in between are also highly recommended to keep your metabolism going. You, also, want to make sure you vary the contents of your meals, or else you'll get sick of them. For example, if you ever start to get sick of the taste of milk (and this has happened to me. haha.), you can replace that portion of your meal with milk products, such as cheese, yogurt, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt also depends on when you're exercising. I've been taught that I should stop eating carbs at least 4-5 hours before I sleep, so naturally, the bowl of rice at 7PM isn't recommended. (But keep in mind, I don't exercise at night. If you workout before you sleep, then you'd be able to burn off these carbs, and that's great. If you don't, any excess carbs will be stored in fat cells.) Maybe increasing the amount of carb-intake for breakfast and increasing the size of the salad for dinner might be a wiser choice for dancers who are looking to lose weight while training.
Also, if you haven't already, try making the switch to soymilk (0% fat). If you're a whole milk drinker, you can do this at your own pace. Two-percent milk tastes almost exactly like whole milk, so you can start with this. Once you're used to the taste, mix in 1% milk (reduced fat) until you're used to that taste. Then, try soymilk when you're ready. Once you're in the reduced fat levels, you can't really go back. Haha. Whole milk just doesn't taste as good to me anymore.
It's a great diet! :) Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for the detailed comment Katrina!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you can have snacks between. So I'll try some fruits or other healthy snacks between my meal if I get hungry!
And I'll definitely watch out about eating curbs 4-5hours before sleep too ;)
I actually never tried soymilk lol. So I'll try what you said and let you know how it went!
Once again, Thank you so much for the comment!!
