Soda, Bread, Beer and eating late at night contribuite. Sucks that after a few beers all i want to do is run to wendys. Thats where will power comes in. All those caffiene pills are short term gain, they will f up your heart. The best sucess I had after I stoped playing hockey and I immediatly gained 15lbs was to evaluate what I ate for breakfast, should be whole grain bread and fruit, eat 5 small meals a day rather than 2 big ones. and I did 45min of walking at 3.5mph on about a 5% incline on the tread mill after my work out 3-4 times a week. Two things I liked to eat when training and people think is gross, natural peanut butter, loaded with good fat and protine needed for musle building, cottage cheese is whey protine in its most natural form, if you can stomach the 1% milkfat no sodium added stuff its a great source of natural protine. The only supplemsts I took were amino acids. I substituded many lunches with salads or steamed chicken and broccoli from the chinese place over burger king and wendys. Ground turkey and rice from the supermarket cooked at home is good too. I hated, hated, hated doing cardio but I figured if I just sucked it up and did it for 90 days straight it would pay off. Between th ediet, no drinking and cardio, people arent kidding. I had a 6 pack wich I never had before, I was in better shape at 29 than i was at 19. Of course a few weekends down to the shore and I was back to normal, 90 days of determination all shot in 9 days. My firend is natural body building champ of NJ two years in a row, he keeps me in check.
