This picture has nothing to do with this post! Just thought the fellas needed some love after yesterday's post. Guys- I give you Megan Fox- and you're welcome.
Simple, but not easy- that sums up fat/weight loss. Andrew Heffernan did a great job explaining just how simple it is:
I try to follow the idiot-proof Mike Boyle/Chad Waterbury maxim "Eat lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and fish oil." It's pretty darn simple. Those guys add "avoid grains like they're poison" if you're trying to lose lots of weight.
It's a ridiculously easy formula to remember: no glycemic index (which has fallen out of favor lately--anyone else notice?), no checking your blood type, no phoning your great aunt to figure out which boat your ancestors came over on. You know what's allowed and what's not.
I've started to give clients this formula. Inevitably, they ask, "What about sugar in my coffee?" "What about a bagel in the morning?" What about this, what about that? I say, sure, do it. But just know that you're deviating. Know that it's a cheat.
Now, do I always follow this formula? Certainly not. But I'm always aware of when I'm doing it right and when I'm not. For lunch today, I stood in the kitchen and ate scraps of mixed greens out of a plastic box and little scraps of cold chicken pulled right off the bone. Appetizing? For me, weirdly, yeah. Healthy? Yup. Boring as hell? Affirmative.
In the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
