I have never been fat, chubby, large or any of those names. I simply never let myself slip far past being toned. People asked how I do it. First off, I tell them it's all about diet. It's takes me about a month to drink a 2 liter of soda. I basically only drink it after a burger meal, wings or them type of foods.

To give you an idea of how important a proper diet is; it takes your body about 1 mile of work to burn 100 calories. That means for every candy bar you eat, you need to run 1.5 miles to burn it off.

InTruth, it don't have to be 100 = 1 mile of running. You can walk it, jog, sprint. The distance and work on your body is the same. The only variable is the duration of work.

The other thing I tell people on how to eat better is eat 4 times a day. I use the rule of palm. you get your portions of healthy carbs and protein the same size as your palm. Imagine cutting your left hand off at the wrist as high up as you can. Then rid of the digets. you want your carbs and protein to be equal or less that the same size and thickness of your palm.

As For veggies, have as much as you want. Just donte load up with dressing, bacon, ham, fruit or whatever junk people put in it. Try just a dash of olive oil, fresh lemon juice and nuts instead of store brand dressing.

Then there is Bodybuilding.com. That is my go to place for brain food and inspiration to stay healthy.
