You Can't Outrun The Fork - Example



In a previous post, I commented, "You can't outrun the fork." The meaning is that it's hard to have exercise compensate for overeating. I have some more evidence for you.

One Five Guys Little cheeseburger (not the normal one) is 840 calories. If I go to Orange Theory and bust it for 55 minutes on a good day I can burn 895 calories. Sorry ladies, I know you don't burn as much.

So, one cheeseburger that...
...takes 5 minutes to eat...
...tastes good for the 5 seconds it's in my mouth for each bite,
...makes me feel horrible for 5 hours afterward,

is the calorie equivalent of 55 minutes of a hard workout.

Please don't blow your gym work in the restaurant. It's not worth it.

BTW, don't get me started on the fries.

And fitness?It's simple.If you don't have a finite number ofCalories four macros to eat each day… You will have no boundaries for how many you will eat.And you have the high probability of eating way too much.Ask me how I know! Boundaries equal freedom. When you have limits you know where you're going to stay within.Without limits things tend to spill over.Parkinson's law taught us that when you're given a projectAnd given two weeks to do the project, you'll take two weeks.If you're given one week, you'll take one week. You see, work expands to fill the time allotted.It's a natural human behavior. Once we understand it it we can manipulate it and use it to our damage period There's two ways to use this ...

How to Celebrate After Your Dropped A Few Pounds

Yea! You lost a couple pounds this week! You're feeling great and you want to celebrate...and you should. But how? The old you would celebrate with your favorite food...I would have!

It's critical to substitute your celebrations...this is yet one more way to slay the dragon. Every time you DON'T celebrate with food your building your mental strength and reinforcing the new you. Here's a few ways to celebrate the zero-calorie way: Foot massage and not the Robert Kraft kind New jeans - Reminder don't wear loose clothes, see my blog about that New exercise shoes or workout gear ...and my favorite a trip to Lululemon (don't judge) Slay the dragon, one win at a time!
