Nutrition for Dancers

Many dancers will starve themselves in order to get the perfect "ballet body"

In actual fact, this is not necessary. All that is required is a balanced diet!

A starvation diet will always backfire on you and make you gain weight instead of losing it because it will come right back on plus some as soon as you eat again.

It comes down to food choices. Choose a piece of fruit instead of a candy bar. When you are hungry, choose protein and a vegetable, or nuts and fruit instead of high fat cookies, candy or ice cream.

Feed your body. A ballerina needs energy, and choosing healthy foods will provide that energy and keep your body trim and fit.
