<p style="text-align: left;">In the past, I have not shared my written opinions about eating for performance because my dietary guidlines are tailored to my own body and my current knowledge about sports nutrition. But because I was asked and answered this question recently for <a title="Paul Korankye" href="http://getrolling.com/blog/2010/06/ghana-speedskaters-need-you/" target="_blank">Paul Korankye</a>, (remember the <a title="Ghana skating team's story" href="http://getrolling.com/blog/2011/03/ghana-hidden-stars/" target="_blank">Hidden Stars Skaters Dream Club in Ghana</a>?), I decided to risk a possible blog backlash by posting a simplified version of my personal guidelines here.</p>
