Eat right and Plan to WIN!

Okay everyone wants to lose weight even myself but there are fundamental mistakes we make. I am going to list a few in the coming weeks and it’s going to be fun.

I meet so people that are battling with their own bodies to lose weight and remain unsuccessful. Most them will say “I’m doing everything right but I can’t get any meaningful results” While so many people who are trying to lose weight think they are doing the right things, are they really?

You can workout till you’re blue in the face if the diet is not tight you can (like my buddy Tony Soprano use to say) “FORGET ABOUT IT!”

Carbohydrates are too high. A lot people I meet think they are doing a good job keeping their carbs low when in reality they are consuming a lot of hidden sugar carbohydrates. People really buy into these food and snack companies that promote so called healthy foods and snacks. Beware! Some examples are a lot of cereals, crackers, yogurt, chips and cookies and even breads that are advertised as being a healthy addition to the diet when in fact they are loaded with simple sugars. Daily consumption of these types of food will make weight loss very tough. Nearly all cold cereals are loaded with excessive simple sugars. The only ones that are worth eating are the original all bran and fiber one. Be sure to read labels of these products and check out the sugar content. Some of the yogurts out there will have a sugar content that is comparable to a king sized candy bar! Chips and crackers and cookies should just be off limits all together, none of them will support a weight loss diet. And no it doesn’t matter if they are baked they’re not good for you. Again take a look at the ingredients and nutritional information.

Yes I’m a dude and a good cook at that! This weekend I made my almond chicken recipe. What I do is cook and plan out for the week. This way, there is no last minutes rationalization or doubt, remember

“Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance!”

I do this while enjoying my football games or doing some paperwork in the office. Top this off with some salad and BOOM! Lunch is set for the week. This is my 2 for 1 deal: eat great and don’t waste money eating out.

Topped off with some pomegranate raspberry salad dressing.

    Hey ur blog looks great! Oh and that almond chicken looks really good too! I agree that planning ahead can save you from making a last minute bad decision. I have to get in the habit of cooking more myself.

    You have a great blog. I'm so glad you know the truth about food and that what we eat is the factor in our health. You will do great work at spreading the word and helping people get off the junk food train!

    BTW, you cook better than I do, I'm jealous!
