Fighting it

Stop fighting the diet.

I understand if you are confused on what to eat because everyone has told you, "Fat is bad, Carbs are Bad". Text me, call me, write me an email. There are PLENTY of good food choices out there.

Examples: Caliente Grille E-FIT Bowl. Black beans or pinto, chicken, steak, or pork, pico, lettuce, any of their salsa choices.

Smoothie King- Small choc, van or strawberry shredder. I always add peanut butter to the choc and it is awesome. Tell them to use a purple scoop of PB to keep fat low.

McDonalds: Egg McMuffin with no cheese. Get a mcdouble with no cheese and take off one piece of bread.

Subway: Get a salad with grilled chicken or turkey or other lean meat. Lay off the dressing or get it on the side. Get a 5 dollar foot long but stack all the meat on 6inches of bread. Lay off the cheese or mayo. Don't get both!

Now do advocate eating McDonalds every day? NO! Is it something you can get if you are in a hurry and don't have time? YES!

Dinner Example: Grilled Chicken breast, Green beans and a few almonds or Hamburger Patty with pickle, onion, let, tomato, ketchup, mustard and no bread. Chili made with 93/7 lean meat is AMAZING. Add some beans to get the carb count up. Turkey or lean ground beef meat loaf.

I really could go on and on. We really aren't worried about portions at this stage, because all we are trying to do is clean up our act. Good luck and God Speed.

Fuel Your Body


Notice what is on the bottom of the pyramid? Nutrition is the foundation that holds/supports all the activities above. If you are trying to lose weight, get a six pack for the first time, or just looking for better performance... diet is where you need to start. I will be posting recipes on this page from time to time. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them

Meat and low glycemic veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar is our basic guideline.
