“Nuts are good yeah, great lets have loads of those”
“& I heard avocado is a ‘superfood’
Better make sure I get 10 of those when I go shopping”
“The ripped guy on InstaBook eats Proats (protein oats) every
morning
I’ll just do that & get super shredded like him”
“There’s good fats in peanut butter you know
10 scoops a day will do nicely then”
As true as each of these statements are
Each one of these foods is SUPER HIGH IN CALORIES
& if you’re trying to lose fat it doesn’t take a genius to work out
that eating bundles of each could kill your progress
(Of course this doesn’t make them a bad food though or something
to avoid)
& point 1 leads nicely into point 2
2. If you eat too many calories… You’re gonna put on weight
Simple as that my man
You can eat all the ‘healthy’ food you want
But if you eat too much
You’re gonna put on weight
& if you’re not strength training hard
That weights gonna be fat
There was actually a guy who did an experiment once
All he ate were those snickers ice cream bars
& Dominoes pizzas for 3 months
He didn’t put on a single kilo of fat
Not 1…
All because he didn’t eat over his maintenance level of calories
What a dream eh…
Apparently he died from brain freeze from all the ice cream though
I also just made that up but the principle still stands
Eat under your maintenance calories & you won’t put on fat
& eat all the ‘healthy’ food you want but if it’s too much you’ll put fat
on
Regardless of how ‘super’ or ‘good fat’ your food is
Anyway I’m off to buy my bodyweight in ice cream & have a bath in it
I’ll leave you with 2 thoughts though
Are you eating ‘healthy’ but still putting on fat?
Do you really have a clue what you actually should be eating for you goals?
