Full day of eating | Volume | Recipes| Kateřina Vomáčková

In my opinion, a sustainable diet should not be difficult to prepare. Because when we make food preparation too complicated, we often can't stick with it for long. That's why in my new video I wanted to show you how I eat now, and that it doesn't have to be hard at all to eat healthy and balanced.

I'm not currently in a dieting phase for races, but rather in a phase where I'm trying to maintain my weight and give my body more variety within my meals. That's why you can notice in the video that I include, for example, pastries, which are a "scarecrow" for many people , as they are fixated on getting fat. Yet you can only get fat if you are in a caloric surplus and not from a particular food. This is why many people choose tactics within their diet where if they can fit the food into their daily caloric intake, they will reach their goals. And that is indeed the case.

If you want to lose weight, you might as well eat a bar of milk chocolate a day if it fits into your daily intake (which must be a deficit). But will this food fill you up for a sufficient amount of time and will you get the nutrients you need from it? Probably not. That's why it's a good idea to make sure our diet consists primarily of foods that are not overly processed, as they will fill us up for longer and provide us with the macronutrients we need.

It's simply all about moderation. So don't be afraid to have any food you want, because nothing is forbidden, it's all about quantity. Just as it is not good to overeat, it is not ideal for the optimal functioning of your body to undereat and not give your body enough nutrients.

If we feel guilty about what we have eaten, it is usually because we have eaten too much and started overeating. And what does overeating usually stem from? Probably because we've been tormenting our bodies for a long time on too low an intake, or from stress, fear, etc. Each extreme triggers the next extreme. So don't be afraid to eat more, but especially good quality food and your body will thank you.

I'd like to end this article by saying that if you are following me primarily because I am a competitor, believe me, my only goal is not always to come with better form for races, but also mainly to enjoy life within a varied diet that sometimes includes something less healthy. I'm glad that I've found a balance within the framework that most days I prepare my own food, so I know exactly what it consists of, but I can still enjoy having a burger at a restaurant. Food brings people together, so don't always subscribe to the idea that you have to be a strict cowgirl at all costs, because then you're missing out on some possible experiences.
