Most people lack a solid foundation in nutritional knowledge. I, too, struggled with this before becoming involved in the personal training industry. I have written this guide to provide a clear, basic introduction to commonly accepted nutritional principles that you can start applying immediately. I understand that nutrition can sometimes feel complicated, but my goal in this reading is to make it simple and practical for you. I am a certified personal trainer with the National Federation of Professional Trainers, certificate number 45582.
