When it comes to fitness, I have noticed when people say “eat right”, each fitness person out there have their own method of eating “right”. One person says avoid this and this, the next person says eat more of this and that. What I’m saying is, every fitness person and bodybuilder out there have their own style of eating “right”. Some would prefer to eat a lot of proteins, some would prefer to eat a lot of vegetables/fruits more than anything, some would eat more carbs/fiber, etc. Everyone is different. This is why it’s so hard to discuss “diet” when it comes to fitness. So, the trick is, just do whatever “diet” in fitness that is right for you. If you want to eat healthy all the time and everyday, that’s fine. If you want to eat healthy most of the week and eat whatever you want on the weekends only, that’s fine too.
I do try to keep my meals strict but NOT that strict. I drink nothing but water now (you have to give up alcohol and soda completely, sorry), eating more greens, whole grains, anything without high fructose corn syrup, fish, egg whites, vegetables/fruit, greek yogurt, etc. I do have one cheat snack, ice cream would be the only thing I would touch for a cheat. The cheats will help put the calories on a little bit.
I’m trying my best to get the washboard six pack like a lot of people want and it is showing a little bit, so I’m doing good, I think.
Oh yeah, one more thing, when it comes to fitness, and when people show off their physiques, the one thing you don’t want to do is be “critical”. I’ve seen many people’s physiques when they show off their bodies, and the one thing you don’t want to do is say “eeewwww” or “gross” or “disgusting”. It is a rude thing to do because it makes them feel like they didn’t go anywhere. Some people may not have the greatest physiques yet, I would agree there, but I never say anything nasty. You just want to say, “good job, keep up the good work”. You want to make them feel proud of the work they did so far.
My physique that I have now isn’t super HOT yet, I have years of work ahead of me to get that bodybuilder look that I want. I have a decent start now, but people should be proud and happy for me of what I have so far instead of being jealous and critical.
