Laying the Groundwork
It is 5:30 in the morning and the sun has yet to come up over the city. The wheels on this plan of mine have been set in motion and that means I have to feed the animal growing inside. A bowl of Bob’s Red Mill oatmeal, 4 egg whites and 2 yolks scrambled in olive oil, two slices of toast, a cup of yogurt and a tall glass of milk. Yah that sounds good; a meal that will stick to my ribs as my mom used to say and provide all the energy I need and then some for the morning workout. Clean carbs and some good protein thrown into the mix, oh and some good fats as well. Take my AST MultiPro vitamin and I am primed, ready to get under the iron. Contrary to what many believe, you cannot accomplish anything really without feeding yourself properly. Can’t lose weight, gain muscle, be mentally alert - nothing. That is of course unless you are in a state of ketosis and your body has rewired itself to operate in the most primal of survival modes. Want to lose weight, well listen here; there is no magic diet, there is no magic pill. If you have a medical condition that causes you to be over or under weight then that is a matter all unto itself. But for the rest of the people out there that are constantly looking for this lazy man’s out, you are not going to find it. Eat right and exercise and in time the pounds will either shred or pack on, depending on what you are trying to do. We will go into more details on the basics of good dieting in later posts. Stick with us.
