Weight Loss and Nutrition

Healthy snack ideas for boot camp in San JoseRegular workouts are important to maintain your strength, endurance and flexibility. However, if you’ve worked with us long enough, you’ve probably heard us say that you can’t out-train a lousy diet. Quite simply, if you are currently overweight, you need to make some changes in your nutrition program in order to see extraordinary results from your workouts.

All of our customers on recurring membership programs get our 30-page Nutrition Guide, sample meals plans written by a Registered Dietician and food journaling pages free as part of their program with us. If you feel you need a little more coaching and guidance on nutrition and you prefer a self-directed approach, we highly recommend the resources below.

Recommended Supplements

Prograde Nutrition supports a healthy lifestyleThere are a ton of supplements on the market and it’s hard for us to be aware of all of them.  We believe that the best way to fuel your body is with real, whole foods first—not pills and shakes in place of good food.  However, current research indicates that several supplements do have a place in your nutrition plan .  We believe that most healthy adults should consider a Fish Oil supplement as well as a multi-vitamin.  Women should ask their doctors about adding supplemental calcium and Vitamin D to their nutrition program.

We trust the professional development team at Prograde Nutrition to create products based on current research and to manufacture them purely and reliably in their GMP-rated facilities.  Not sure if a particular Prograde supplement is for you?  No worries, as they have a money-back guarantee as well as a toll-free Customer Service number so that you can ask questions before you make a purchase.
