You Cannot Out Train A Bad Diet

One of my long-term team members in Chicago, Pete, came up with this statement and I think about it all the time.

I work out at all different clubs all over the country. But, since I am frequently in Chicago (home), New York and LA, I do tend to see the same people over and over again.

What amazes me is how little their bodies change. I will go one step further – I think the majority of them look worse.

I strongly believe it is because they do not pay attention to their diet. I have heard people for years say, “I workout so that I can eat what I want.”

WRONG

You have to put both together, but do realize, weight loss is 75% diet and 25% exercise. But, I hope you know that without the 25% exercise, and by that I mean ONLY strength training, you are doomed to fail as you will lose fat AND muscle and your metabolism will be in a free fall.

So, watch what you eat and NEVER miss your three sessions a week of interval strength training.
