  I eat a whole food plant based diet very carb heavy. Went from morbidly obese dude who has never done any exercise in my life to a healthy weight runner who last week got a new PB of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGrpuWjfbbI&amp;t=6128">1:42:08</a> on a half marathon.

  Low quality food is only for people with self control. When I start with sweet baked breads, donuts, I only stop eating until I feel sick. That&apos;s why I avoid it all together.

  Common sense! Love this! I get so sick of low fat, low carb, raw food, paleo, high protein, intermittent fasting....blah, blah blah... dumb fads! This just makes sense. Limit processed foods (okay - I like the occasional chips/crisps and red wine and chocolate) and focus on whole foods and complex carbs. My weight usually manages itself since I stopped worrying about it and follow these principles. Love it!!!

  THANK YOU! &nbsp;This is the best video about eating habits for athletes I’ve seen. &nbsp;I’m from Colombia and know that the best cyclists just eat EVERYTHING… so it is encouraging to see this

  i read somewhere a while ago that stuck with me ever since. it was something along the lines that the best runners are the least concerned about food. the less you stress about numbers, the more you can focus on how these foods make you feel and power your movement. thanks so much for this video!!!

  I love to run. Matt&apos;s books have helped me keep doing it into my late 60&apos;s despite a body that is atypical for runners.

  Listen to the body is probably the most important one... if I feel tired and lazy after a meal, it was not a good one and I will avoid it next time.

  Can you do a video on mentally working through injury? I&apos;m finding it hard to stay motivated through this process.

  You don’t understand how much joy it gives me to have someone tell me about eating crap food is ok once a week 😆

  thank you for bringing up a balance of healthy and nonhealthy food. I am 6 months recovered from a binge eating disorder and i have built the habit of honoring my cravings but adding more nutrition to my diet
