You have many people that will buy workout videos and with so much enthusiasm start working out 1 hour a day or 3 times a week. They get gym memberships and spend 1-2hrs in the gym a few times a week. And they think that that is enough.
Actually, it's even worst, because they think that that gives them the right to "reward" themselves with stuff like... well... just look at the picture above. Friends, you can work out for 3hrs straight and burn two thousand calories in the gym. But if you get home and stuff your face with a big mac and large french fries, top it off with a large soda then add a apple pie and a ice cream sundae on the side...
That's roughly 1,880 calories that you put back in. Not to mention the condiments (ketchup, extra mayo, or honey mustard, ranch, etc.) And I won't even go into how much fat and cholesterol you are pumping into your heart to clog your arteries.
When you do that, you have literally thrown away the whole 3hrs you spent in the gym, in one meal. And that's not to mention that you WILL eat again that day. So by the end of the day, you still end up gaining weight instead of losing it. And you who are skinny and want to put on, well you are choosing the worst possible way to put on. Because all you will add to your body mass is unhealthy fat.
Point: you can't just exercise, you have to watch what you put into your body too. Because you may be sabotaging yourself with what you put in. There is not secret that to get in shape and stay in shape, you have to monitor how many calories go in vs. how many are being burned. And to gain, you need to put in more HEALTHY calories, but still add in exercise to help you form your body.
Note- In my next post, I will tell you what a healthy plate of food should look like... because we have to address the basics before we can get to the fun stuff.
