Fuck counting calories. If you eat healthy to begin with you can stuff your face all fucking day and night and still never touch obscene calorie numbers.

People really need to understand this. Starting out bodybuilding, I was eating this: breakfast: 4 eggs, 1 cup cereal, 1 banana. Snack: tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread, some brocolli on the side. Lunch: chicken breast/bake potatoes, Snack: another tuna sandwich and more brocolli. Dinner: variable, usually consisted of a meat and a veggie, rarley a carb.

And guess what folks? That’s still was barely a 2,000 calorie diet. That’s 5 meals. That’s 7 chicken breasts, 7 potatoes, and 5 big 12oz cans of tuna a week.

And the biggest thing? Drink water. People consume an abnormal amount of calories from their drinks and they don’t count liquid caloric intake. People have a hard time thinking that liquid can have the same effects as food, it does.

If you just eat healthy foods and work out just once a week doing some cardio, you’ll be on your way to being healthy. The more you work out, the faster the process will go.

But to my fellow Americans i have this to say:

• quit trying to make working out fun. Suck it up. NO matter what you do, it’s going to suck. Have a goal? Good. Stick to it.

• There’s no easy way out of this, ab shockers and revolutionary workout tapes, need to be ignored. And don’t run out and waste your money on a gym membership either. Walk/run, shoot some basketball somewhere.. do something active for a couple of months before even considering signing up for a gym. Show your dedication first before a contract.

• Here a quick and simple diet plan: All your drinks should have 0-20 calories in it at most. Learn to love water, or at least not bitch about it. Stop drinking alcohol until your weight is under control, drink low-cal beers if/when you do drink. Get most of your carbs from your veggies and whole wheat bread/cereal.. toss out the Velveeta shells and cheese, no more ramen, go 3-4 months without any pasta.. actually, go until you’re satisfied with your weight and then bring it back in MODERATION and with whole wheat noodles. Stay away from fatty meats. Go for seafood, ground turkey, chicken. Stay away from High fructose corn syrup. Stay away from energy drinks and sodas.

• DO NOT GO to these places:Applebees, TGIFriday,s Chillies, Ruby Tuesdays, BW3s, Outback, O’Charilie’s, McDonald’s, KFC, Wendy’s, Burger King, Hardies, Pizza Hut, (catch my drift? ) etc. No crappy chain bar/grills, no fast food. NONE. In fact, until your weight is under control, quit fucking going out to eat anywhere. Stay where you can control the quality of your food. I know you read some health mag that said there’s healthy food at these places, but chances are you’ll buy something else, just don’t go.

• here’s another genius idea. If the food is primarily a microwavable food, don’t buy it. Period. Microwavable food either has insane amountof calories, carbs or sodium. Leave it alone.

This is not rocket science. You don’t have to calorie count, fat count, etc.. Just don’t be a dumbass. If you get hungry, get some celery, an apple, strawberries. EAT BREAKFAST, eat smaller (healthy) meals, more often. 4-5 meals a day will up your metabolism. (BUT THEY MUST BE HEALTHY!)

American life has been so permeated with fast food lunches, energy drinks, cheese-it snacks, potato chips, “neighborhood” chain bar/grills, $5 coffee-lard sludge from starbucks, and easy to make food at home no wonder people are fat. Even if you eat 2 meals a day, chances are with your 2 meals and whatever it is you’re drinking you’re still consuming more calories, carbs, fat and sodium than i do with my 5 meals and getting little of the vitamins and minerals you need.

Look it just boils down to this. Is the food convenient? Is the food not natural (processed meat, chemical cheese, no expiration date)? Is the food from a restaurant? Does the food have some huge fucking brand name associated with it (Nabisco, Kraft, Coca Cola, etc). Then stop buying it. Most healthy food doesn’t need a brand. It doesn’t matter who makes your green beans, your chicken, and pineapple folks. (well if you’re into organic stuff, then ya). Just quit being a sucker for your own sugar addiction and america’s marketing machine. And quit giving in to friends and family dragging you to shit holes that make you fatter. If they care about you and your health they’ll respect your decision, if not? Fuck em.
