Just as there are myriad books about dieting, eating and health for the average person in good health, not to mention persons with specific medical concerns, there are an equal number of books on sport nutrition and nutrition for athletes.
If you are "in training" for a specific sport or athletic event, be it playing field hockey, competitive swimming, running a marathon, trying to make an Olympic team or simply wanting to be in top shape for backpacking in the Grand Canyon (like me!), then you may wonder if The Angel Way is right for you.
Yes! Eating…The Angel Way is wonderful for athletes and athletic individuals.
The foundation of The Angel Way begins with learning to listen to your body's unique needs for nourishment, as well as rest and repair. A person, such as myself, who trains in pursuit of a goal that is something more than wanting good health, is wise to listen to her body in such a way.
If you are an athlete / athletic individual and you follow the Angel Way Guidelines you will be able to nourish yourself with the rainbows, white light foods and brown foods that are ideally suited to the demands you place on your muscles and cardiovascular system. Now, you will also find experts suggesting you eat six meals a day, certain quantities of protein and carbs and fats. When you receive such advice and ultimately try such approaches to eating "for athletes", ask yourself:
According to the Angels, our understanding of the complicated dance of the body in breaking down the food we eat into nutrients and waste products is in its infancy. Many experts fall into the trap of believing that what works for them and lots of others must therefore work for everyone. The only real "expert" on any given individual is that individual herself. If we don't pay attention to our unique needs then ultimately, we are unlikely to perform at our best, whether that be in competition, in practice, or in our everyday lives where we have just as much stress and nowhere near the fun.
Whether your goal is to play your best on the soccer field, to win a medal, or to keep up with your kids, your inner athlete can benefit by listening to the Angel Way.

" The only real "expert" on any given individual is that individual herself."
No arguments on that from me! Only I can hear my own divine guidance, and it is the one voice I *rarely* challenge.
Bravo! If we can teach more young, especially, female athletes to listen in this divine way to their own body~wisdom, I believe we will see less of what is known as the "female athlete triad": distorted eating behavior, ammenorrhea, and bone loss.
Please share this post with any woman or girl you know is seeking to fulfill her "inner athlete."
