Why is nutritional discipline so hard? Seriously? Most of us already know what healthy food and healthy eating habits look like. But why do we quit, or never even start, on our eating plan before almost anything else along our journey towards physical, mental and emotional well-being?  

Nutritional strategist Dr. Mike Roussell joins Fran Racioppi live from the Sandlot Jax Fitness Festival and the 2nd Annual GORUCK Games to explain why we quit on nutrition well before we quit on exercise itself. They explore his strategy around the mental aspect of nutrition, the psychology of cravings, hedonic hunger, and all the things that keep us from maintaining nutritional discipline. 

More importantly, he reminds us how simple and uncomplicated proper nutrition can really be if we’re just willing to commit to it; even if it’s not perfect. From a performance perspective, what we put into our body is often the final few details that separates the good from the great, so take a listen or watch their conversation, then make a few different decisions to improve your nutritional discipline.
