Train Hard; Eat Smart

Number One Rule:  Eat Healthy.

A guy told me the other day, he was in great shape, he just needed to work on his eating habits.  Mind you he became honest and said I haven't worked out in 3-5 years.

Rule of Thumb: 
If all you do if channel surf,
 you won't get results. 

 He asked for the best things to eat. Back to Rule #1:  Eat Healthy Rather than starting to eat healthy foods, cut the garbage out of your diet.  You can't eat healthy, if you are overstuffed and overstocked with junk food.

Garbage In; Garbage Out 

We are what we eat, and who has the time to eat a healthy meal?  Hmmm.  Obesity is on the rise.  McDonalds' pop up, Gyms shut down.  No, the lettuce and tomato does not counter the artificial meat under the bun. One guy tried to eat healthier, so he tossed out the bun and ate the burger and bacon. Epic Fail!!! You Can't Eat What is Not in Your House If you don't buy it, you can't eat it.  Use your logic skills and make healthy decisions. 

My son will drink water or Coke.  It doesn't matter, he just prefers the bottle over his sippie cup. He only eats what my wife and I provide.  Well, you gotta eat right?  You don't wanna starve?

Google pictures of well balance meals.  I doubt you'll starve or suffer from scurvey. Healthy Food is Expensive Wrong!! Wrong!! Wrong!! You just made an assumption.  You know what they say when you assume.  Healthy food can be wasted and that becomes expensive. Healthy Food is Fresh Real food expires.  Fruits & Vegetables will go rotten.  Bread will mold.  Meat will spoil.  Candy doesn't go bad.  Frozen meals have a shelf life til 2015. You can't buy a month's worth of groceries in one day.  The food will go bad, if you are making smart choices.  So here are some solutions. Buy 2-3 days worth of fresh fruit at a time. Portion and Freeze your own meats. Frozen Vegetables are amazingly simple to microwave for a quick healthy snack.

 Remember ... You Can't Eat What is NOT in Your House.

You cannot eat healthy foods if you do not provide and prepare them.  Maybe you are tired and don't want to cook dinner every night. Prepare your food in bulk.  Prepare 3 days worth of chicken.  Store it in the refrigerator. People eat what is convenient.  Spend an hour one night to prepare meals for 3 nights.  Plan out your meals.  Set time in your schedule to eat that chicken or salad. Save time and money by doing it yourself.  Find a handful of delicious recipes and stick to it.  Get organized with your containers, cabinets, and refrigerator. I have wasted plenty of money by buying in bulk, then forgetting I stored it in the back.  I buy more and find the old food sitting in the back.
