Recently graduated from the university of Arizona with a B. S. In nutritional sciences with an emphasis in dietetics. I earned many Dean's list awards and excelled in ALL of MY nutrition and science related courses. Nutrition has always been a passion of mine and AS a life long athlete and current professional TRIATHLETE I understand the important correlation between nutrition and performance. Throughout MY athletic career I have experimented with many different "diets" only to find that the most effective was NOT a diet AT ALL but a lifestyle. Nutrition is personal for everyone. For ME I emphasize whole unprocessed foods. Maximizing nutrient timing. And above ALL moderation. Because EVERYONE'S diet has room for dark chocolate.
