When was the last time you competed against yourself? What goals have you set for yourself? Working out makes setting and reaching goals easier.
Have you been working hard at your routine but don't see results yet? Take a break. Skip the gym and call up your best friend for a day or evening of fun. Relax and take it easy. When you retun to the gym the day after you will be revitalized. Better yet, you will feel the benefits of your exercise routine immediately. Have a great weekend!
What is it exactly? Clean eating implies cutting out preservatives and chemicals our bodies cannot process. Instead, one should choose foods that:
- Have no fake flavoring
- Contain no preservatives
- Have no more then 5 or 6 ingredients
- Are close to their natural state: An apple looks the same as it does hanging off a tree, but French fries look nothing like a potato.
- Contain no ingredients you can’t pronounce or recognize
- Don’t make you feel gassy, bloated or full
- Don’t list sugar as the main ingredient or in the top three
All it takes is 30 secs of thinking before eating something. Soon, your new habits will become second nature.
