The larger the serving size of food, or the container it comes in, the greater likelihood a person will eat more of it. This effect, called portion distortion, can easily lead to passive over-consumption and with that real increases in the risk of obesity and its connected diseases.

Love this diagram.. There is no one size fits all with working out carbohydrate intake . Training intensity , frequency and duration can all play a factor in determining carbohydrate intake . A very common thing I see is people "binging" on non training days and limiting intake on training days. Matching carbohydrate intake with your requirements will yield better results .

Unfortunately some athletes wanting to excel turn to performance enhancing drugs . No search exists to know if athletes in Crossfit are turning to performance enhancing drugs but could be likely considering professional and amateur athletes in other sports turn to such measures . http://m.bbc.com/sport/33646276

More than 10% of elite athletes could be cheating, with youngsters a concern, says Wada director general David Howman.

If you commit to being consistent with a routine and you screw up now and then, you’ll still be successful.
