Nutrition 101
At JAMWORKOUT, we understand the nutritional choices that you make every day. We are here to coach you in your decision making and inspire you to be your best. Changing habits takes work. The less you have to figure out on your own, the more you can focus on developing the habits that create your new healthy lifestyle.
In the JAM nutrition program, we focus on real food. We avoid processed, refined, or chemical-laden. We eat for nutrient density. Our macronutrients are balanced. There is no starvation dieting, no fancy supplementation schedule.
Learn how to eat, not just what to eat.
This program is a 2-week nutritional reset, designed to rehab your metabolism, and allow you to see results quickly. However, we don’t want you to stop there. The program evolves after the first 2 weeks into a lifestyle that you can maintain.
- Eat as close to nature as possible. Avoid processed, refined foods.
- Eat as your great-grandma did. Local produce in season. Organic, if not cost prohibitive. Avoid GMOs.

- Enjoy foods you tolerate well. If you can handle dairy, eat it.
