My FOUR LETTER WORD IS....

Happy New Year ALL!!!

So its a new year and for some of us we want it to be a brand new beginning. For others we want to build off the steps we've made already in the past few months. I want to talk today about my 4 letter word... It's the word DIET!! I hear it now. BRIAN "ALL you talk about is eating healthy and how nutrition is the key to success." Why, Yes I agree with my whole heart to that. Nutrition is the key. No exceptions. If we don't make good, healthy, habitual food choices our exercise efforts get flushed straight down the toilet. Now I believe the word diet pertains to something we do for a short amount of time for quick results. In the old days diet meant habitual nourishment. I believe for us to attain long term success we need to look at the end game. Not something we are trying to do for 30to90 days. Cutting calories to an extreme is detrimental to your health and keeping the weight off over the long term. Being healthy is a lifestyle choice. Our body remembers what is does the majority of the time. So if you eat healthy and exercise the majority of the time you will be healthy, happy and lean. If you have a tendency to overeat, skip workouts and indulge too much your body will look like that,. Instead of looking at like we are on a diet we need to look at as a new way too live. We make diets way to complicated. Only 500 hundred calories, or nothing but protein, or no fats, or no carbs period. In the long game we can't sustain this. Then we get frustrated overeat and even heavier and fluffier then when we started. I believe in KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. It's basically my life motto for myself. Don't over think things. Don't over complicate.
Its not complicated.
Eat a ton of veggies. BRIAN I HATE Broccoli!! They're are a ton of veggies our there to pick from and enjoy.
Don't overeat! Keep portions small. 
Eat nutrient dense foods. Those have lots of nutrients for the fewest amount of calories. 
Have lots of protein. Preferably white meat when you eat meat. Reduce starchy carb intake including white sugar and white flour products. 
Don't binge on junk food. 
Drink LOTS of Water. Vitamin water and flavored water don't count. REAL WATER. At least 64 ounces preferably a gallon of water a day if possible. 

I love you all and I'm super excited to get rocking this week. I want and need you all in the gym when we are not training together. Either doing cardio or ask me what lifting you can do when I'm not
around. I have different programs for different goals. No more FOUR letter words. This is a lifestyle not a DIET.
BRIAN
