Out train a Poor Diet

There are a whole lot of people out there that will spend hours at the gym or run outside for an extended period of time, to just come home and pork out on junk food and low-nutrient foods.  The thought process is something along the lines of, "If I work out really hard, then I can eat whatever I want, right?"  

Wrong!  

It doesn't matter how long you spend at the gym or how much exercise you get, if you don't clean up your diet.  You will see little to no results if you only increase your workouts.  You have to commit to eating more whole foods and more fruits and vegetables.  Toss the processed junk and go for more foods that can be found in nature!  

A study from the University of Texas found that without dietary control (not dieting, just eating healthier), people who completed a 12-week program of resistance training and high-intensity training lost only 1 percent of body fat!!  

Don't waste all of the time and effort you spend working out, by eating poorly afterwards.  Pull out the almonds, apples, string cheese, carrot sticks, etc.  Toss the potato chips, pop tarts, candy bars, etc.!
