Eat for your “freakin” Age

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Corinthians 13:11

Why am I quoting a biblical verse, folks? I won’t confess to be the most religious person out there, but this verse gets across a point I want to make. Pay attention!

I remember when I was in grade school, my lunch would consist of pizza, cookies,  and french fries. I use to hate what my mom made me for dinner, so I would opt for mac n cheese or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. As I grew out of my adolescent stage, and got into fitness I realized I couldn’t eat like a “freakin” third grader anymore! I see alot of adults when I  am out who still eat like three graders and wonder why they can’t lose weight. For the most part, they are still eating mac n cheese,  sugary cereals,  and hotdogs but its disguised a little bit differently. There isn’t anything wrong with the occasional hotdog if its something you are using to reward yourself for a week of “clean” eating, but it shouldn’t be an everyday lunch/dinner thing!

If you are serious about transforming your body, you have to put your childish eating habits behind you. Quit eating like a “freakin “ third grader and get some lean protein, good carbs, and vegetables on your plate. I am willing to bet you’ll look and feel better. Until next time… See you on the lean side!
