Look people, you cannot outtrain a shitty diet. It took me a very long time to realize and accept this, don’t make the same mistake I did for so long. Ive done the same workouts, same intensity on my eat what you want and work out hard..and ive done the same workouts on a clean diet plan. Meats, fruits, and vegetables. The results were night and day in appearance, but surprisingly enough so was the energy levels.
In the past, I always figured I was over training or just not getting enough sleep. That was before I changed my diet routine. I can train harder, longer, I recover faster, and like I said…the results are night and day. Its not easy. Simple yes, easy no. Now all that being said, im not a machine who can naturally fend off temptation like water on oil…im human. I get tempted by the smell of pastries when I go into the grocery store, the items at Starbucks call my name everytime I go in for my coffee. My family, “Oh one wont hurt anything, youre not fat…you work out all the time”. Exactly! So, why would I want to piss that away for one bite?
Now that im on the frontlines so to speak…training people, training anyone I can get to talk to me…and eventually pay me, I am noticing one common trait amongst most people; AVERAGE PEOPLE WILL NEGOTIATE GOALS AND DISCIPLINE. First off, let me say YOU ARE LYING if you tell me that you did not know a Snickers and a Coke was bad for you. C’mon.
What do you mean by negotiate their goals? Well for example.
Me- You need to up your protein with lean meats, chicken is a good source.
Negotiator- Ok, well I can just get the crispy chicken sandwhich from Carl’s Jr right? I mean, ill take off the bread.
Me- No. Thats not even real chicken and its FRIED. The word ‘crispy’ is another word for FRIED IN SHIT.
Negotiator- Oh. Well, theyre only $1 and its close- so it makes it easier.
Me- If you can find a Carls Jr, you can find a grocery store and a can of tuna is the same price.
Negotiator- Yeah, I can make a tuna wrap or something. I like those too. Tortillas are OK right?
Me- Did you read any of the shit you said you read?! No tortillas are not good. Use lettuce to wrap it in.
Negotiator- Oh…ok. Ill just make a wrap from tuna, some pickles, some mayo, and a slice of cheese or two?
Me- Bye…
STOP RUINING YOUR FOOD!
