Now Then
Here are some quick tips that I have found help me lose the chub.
WARNING some of these tips seem harsh. That’s because they are. I have made all of these mistakes a thousand times and I continue to try not to make them. I am only harsh as I know what a fuckwit I was and want to save you this pain.
1) Firstly stop doing all that shit that you KNOW is bad for you. Yes this is a very simple tip but I still see people who insist they have ‘tried everything’ shovelling candy and drinking coke. Stop it.
2) Stop looking for a miracle diet. Yes there are advanced diets out there that will help you lose weight, but if you aren’t doing the following you need to start. There are NO quick fixes, this shit is hard work but the rewards are worth it.
"If I told you to consume one gram of protein per pound of body weight, fibrous vegetables, water, green tea, 12 grams of fish oil, and spread those out over the course of six meals each day, you'd be anything but impressed. But if I held you in captivity and forced you to do that every day for a month, you'd be blown away by the results." Chad Waterbury.
3) Look down, if your gut is hanging over your belt there is a good chance that you are not insulin sensitive. This means that you do not handle carbs well. One of the best things I did was to cut carbs out of diet apart from around workout times and breakfast. Please read do this.
4) On that note, eat breakfast. It’s the best opportunity to shovel your face that you will get.
5) If you know you are going to be going on a long journey, take some healthy food with you. The reason for this is that if you are going to be going for longer than 2 hours without food by the time you get to a food stop you will immediately stuff your face with crap (don’t look at the screen like that, your only lying to yourself). Protein bars and shakes I find are best as they take care of the sweet tooth as well.
6) If you are not taking your own meals to work you better start. Stuff you make yourself will always be better than the stuff you buy as you are more likely to make better choices.
7) Finally (for now) is to adopt the ‘fuck you’ attitude. As you will find lots of people including your loved ones will want you to fail. Seeing you succeed points out there short comings. This is a terrible thing but believe me it happens. Here are some examples of my ‘Fuck you’ programme.
You’re doing so well, one piece of cake wont hurt!
FUCK YOU.
You’re going to the gym again? This is the second time this week! Don’t you love me?
FUCK YOU. (and if you partner is doing this they are a toxic vacuum and you should justice slap the crap out of them immediately).
Getting in shape is hard as hell and is a constant battle for the fatty but believe me being in shape after being fat is awesome. It takes a dedication that is beyond a normal persons perspective, but if you have got to ‘that place’ I don’t need to tell you that…
