You Can't Out Train a Poor Diet


You can work out all day long but if you are consuming foods that lack the nutrients to support your efforts you'll receive poor results.  Strength training sculpts and defines your muscles but you'll never see them if your diet consists mainly of refined carbohydrates, saturated and trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and sugar as these foods are stored as belly fat. 
After a workout, nourish your body with nutrient packed foods that stoke your metabolism and turn on your natural fat burners such as lean proteins (eggs, poultry, lean meats, beans, nuts, low-fat dairy), fibrous carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans) and healthy fats (extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, avocado, nuts) to obtain maximum results and optimal health.  

You literally are what you eat which means you have the choice to determine what you're made of so what's going to be?  Sugar, dangerous fat, chemicals and additives that encourage disease, belly fat storage and inflammation in the body or wholesome nutritious foods bursting with vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants that fight free radicals, burn fat, decrease inflammation and your risk of developing disease in your body?
I say it all the time "you are not going to out train a poor diet, its impossible."  You've started the job in the gym with a power workout and now it's time to finish the job with nutritional powerhouse foods!  Hey you've already done the work so sit back and enjoy a great meal, you've earned it!
