Hello ladies and gents. I'm Robert, a guy that loves fitness. Fitness has been something that always intrigued me. From around the age of 12, I started lifting weights here and there putting on a small amount of muscle mass. I really took fitness seriously around 6 years ago when I saw one of my female friends compete on stage as an NPC athlete.
Just being behind the scenes of the show and saw all the action up close and personal had me hooked. Seeing how amazing the athletes looked amazed me. The first day me and my friend got back in town, I went right to the gym and starting training hard. I decided I wanted to compete for the first time as an NPC athlete. Taking posing classes, following a meal plan and workout regimen really reshaped my physique!
I know you are looking at the title wondering when will I get into the "eating clean" part, well here it is. Eating clean Is what really transform the body. I stress to anyone that have fitness goals, whether it is losing weight, getting tomes, or building muscle eating clean is needed! There is a saying in the fitness industry that states: 80% diet, 20% working out. This is very true! For years I lifted weights and put on muscle mass, but had a hard time seeing my abs and true definition to mu muscles. That's because I had a layer of fat covering these muscles.
When I started eating clean, I burned fat a whole lot faster. Taking a fat burner will not work! You cannot out train a bad diet! It is impossible to do this. To have that lean sexy summer body you desire, you have to eat clean in addition to your training.
Here are some foods that I personally tried that worked for me:
Greens and other veggies:
Kale, spinach, broccoli, lettuce, green beans, baked sweet potatoes, tomatoes and pretty much all veggies are great!
Fruits: Apples (great with peanut butter), strawberries, grapes, bananas. All these in moderation because of sugar intake.
Meats:
Fish, baked/grilled chicken, eggs, baked/grilled turkey, steak
Snacks:
Apples with peanut butter, rice cakes, peanuts, cashews, almonds, celery with peanut butter,
I know most of these foods seem kind of boring but how bad do you want that body you desire? These foods can be prepared in so many different ways to keep it from being boring. I hope some of these has helped you out. One of my next post will be some of my workouts. Stay tuned.
